An Irish personal evangelistic site. I'm not representing a particular church, but it's broadly evangelical in tone. My aim is to cover topics I've encountered in discussions I've had over the years, mainly here in Ireland..
I’ve been exploring some of the very modern worship songs as an old guy 😀. But now, I’ve decided to alternate between very modern hymns, old hymns, and in-between hymns, namely the worship songs from the 60s to the 90s that feature in hymnbooks such as Mission Praise. Today it’s the turn of the old … Continue reading Hymns: The Head That Once Was Crowned with Thorns
I went through different phases of liking and disliking contemporary Christian music. I never heard much of it when I was a Roman Catholic back in the 1970s. But I didn’t really like trendy folk masses 😀 even though I was into pop music. Then, when I became an evangelical Christian in 1980, many of … Continue reading Contemporary Christian Music
Any significant decisions that I ever made were only made after much thought. I don’t think I’d describe them as “following my gut”. But perhaps intuition sometimes does play a part. However, for most decisions, I can’t say if they were exactly right. For example, when choosing careers, where to live, and so on, things … Continue reading Where He Leads Me, I Will Follow

This post needs a spoiler alert. If you’ve only seen the original 1977 movie, beware 😀. So, isn’t Anakin Skywalker the same person as Darth Vader? Yes and no. He is the same person, but at the close of The Empire Strikes Back, he had a dramatic conversion from the dark side. You didn’t see … Continue reading Anakin Skywalker

I was brought up a Roman Catholic. I was curious about other religions and Christian denominations, but the default mode was just to assume that whatever everyone around you believed was true. In my teens, I got into the Beatles music. And because they were my heroes, maybe reading interviews and their history was the … Continue reading The Assumption
I first heard Bob Dylan back in 1973, with the song; Knocking on Heavens Door. I took little interest in him until I heard Like a Rolling Stone one Sunday in the Summer of 1979, while walking with my radio in Fountainstown, Cork, a nice beach resort that we spent a lot of time at … Continue reading I Believe in You – Bob Dylan
