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..
Perhaps I could mention that I started this blog this year. I’m enjoying it immensely. I feel like I have friends all over the world even if I have few friends at home 😂. I just wanted to create a little evangelistic website, but the blog element is fun too, especially the daily prompts. For … Continue reading Nothing Particularly Special
Because Christmas is coming, I’ve decided to take a break from my daily review of modern worship songs and focus on Christmas hymns for a month. I’ve started with Advent. Advent hymns emphasize waiting, longing, and preparation, while Christmas hymns celebrate fulfilment, joy, and Christ’s birth. Today’s hymn is Gabriel’s Message Does Away: 1 Gabriel’s … Continue reading Advent: Gabriel’s Message Does Away
Well, I see wild animals whenever I visit zoos, but I assume you’re asking if I ever see them in the wild. We don’t have many interesting wild animals in Ireland. Saint Patrick drove all the snakes out of Ireland. Why did he do that? It was too far for them to walk 😂. Anyway, … Continue reading Rarely

I have several favourite places, but today, I think of Cambridge. I first went to Cambridge in 1983. I had been a Pink Floyd fan, and that’s where they were from. And I had recently seen Chariots of Fire, which was partially set in Cambridge. I instantly bonded with Cambridge when I went there in … Continue reading Cambridge
I began this series with my Hymns: 1980 Memories post, so this is the 40th in the series. As I age, my life seems to get duller, so you mightn’t want to bother reading this 😀. So, we get to 2020, the first year of the COVID pandemic. I remember hearing about this virus outbreak … Continue reading Hymns: 2020 Memories
I remember going into a record shop in South Kensington, London, back in 1982 and hearing Frustration by Soft Cell. I didn’t know who sung it when I heard it. There wasn’t any web back then, but I eventually found out who sung it. Marc Almond wasn’t really ordinary. The “ordinary” guy in the video … Continue reading I Am So Ordinary 😀

I sometimes wonder if I’ve been too passive or content with life. I’ve had my dreams, but that’s how I saw them – as dreams. I am impressed with people with ambition, who’ve accomplished great things. Yet, the world is made up of ordinary people, who collectively probably do accomplish great things. I greatly admire … Continue reading Become More Proactive?
