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 very … Continue reading Hymns: Come Alive (Dry Bones)
I generally like happy endings. Some books/movies had endings that shocked or disappointed me. Examples include Middlemarch, Gone with the Wind, War and Peace, and Doctor Zhivago. But perhaps always wanting a happy ending wouldn’t mirror real life. But I have enough experience of real life 😀. For fantasy, I’d prefer to tweak the closing … Continue reading Alice in Wonderland

Sometimes we … Continue reading Focus on Jesus

I tend to think of people I could imagine myself wanting to be like if I were starting my life again. … Continue reading It’s a Tough One

Even when you take all the good advice, things can go wrong, but you increase your chances … Continue reading Think Ahead
