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 must confess, I like happy endings. Pride and Prejudice from 1995 ended with a double wedding. In fact, I’ve watched a few series and movies based on Jane Austin novels, and they all end with weddings😀. What’s funny is that there’s nothing particularly perfect about couples who are already married. An example is Lizzie … Continue reading Pride and Prejudice
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: There’s a Quiet Understanding
I remember buying a few books on philosophy when I was 17. They were interesting, but I wasn’t overwhelmingly convinced by any of the famous philosophers. I remember watching a BBC show in later years, in 1995, called Sophie’s World. I read the book too. It was fun fiction which integrated a range of famous … Continue reading Augustine of Hippo

Firstly, I’ve always been a fan of rock music. In my younger days, I used to dream of being a rockstar. But whenever I read rock autobiographies, fear and self-doubt almost always feature, even in people who appear very confident. I think that fear and self doubt often have much more to do with how … Continue reading For Dummies Books

I don’t think that I ever questioned reality, but I have been in situations, both good and bad, where I’ve said “I can’t believe it”. It’s a nice sunny day here in Ireland, so I’ll mention a happy moment. I failed my driving test first time and wondered if I’d ever pass. Surely, I’d do … Continue reading Passing my Driving Test

I’m not sure if I expected to hate Sense and Sensibility, but I initially had little interest in seeing it. And maybe the same could be said for other movies or TV series based on 18th or 19th century novels. Yet, we’ve watched it many times, and I never get bored with it. I just … Continue reading Sense and Sensibility
