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..
Let me think 😀 – I’d like to go way back to the 1960s and experience my first group of movies. Mary Poppins was the first one, with Batman soon after. Back then we had black and white TV, so it was great seeing all the Batman characters in colour. I remember seeing James Bond’s … Continue reading Chariots of Fire
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 in-between hymns. … Continue reading Hymns: Light the Fire Again

I hardly think that he … Continue reading And Now I Am Happy All the Day 😊

My careers centered around mechanical engineering, teaching, Christian work, and IT. And I’ve always been keen on playing musical instruments – mainly keyboard and guitar. … Continue reading Hymn Writing

Just for fun, I decided to create a list of songs that entered the UK charts on every June that I have lived through. I limited it to one per year. It wasn’t until about 1971 that I was familiar with them at the time, but I did get to know the 1960s songs in … Continue reading All My June’s

Well, I haven’t grown physically. At my age, people sometimes start to grow smaller rather than taller 😀. Hopefully that won’t happen for a while yet. Mentally? I don’t know anything that I can associate specifically with this year. Over the last few years, I’ve been adjusting to being in my sixties. It still feels … Continue reading Spiritually I Hope
