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..
In each decade, there’s generally one year that I’d happily return to. For the 1970s, it would be 1977. I was 15, with lots of delightful crushes on girls that were way out of my league 😀. I continued to discover old Beatles and Pink Floyd albums. I also started working as an apprentice fitter, … Continue reading 1977: Music Memories
I would like everyone in the world to hear a simple presentation of the message of the gospel. I made an attempt at that in Gospel in a Nutshell, but I’m sure that there are much better resources out there. I had the idea back in 2005 when I created a website for my fellowship, … Continue reading The Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ
Firstly, sorry for my awful title 😀. That’s a punk song from 1978. Sham 69 released it as a plea for fans to stop fighting during concerts. But it’s nothing to do with young kids. And it’s nothing to do with baby goats either. I assume the prompt relates to children rather than baby goats. … Continue reading If the Kids Are United
World Peace I pray for a different country every day, alphabetically. I should really follow the sequence of Operation World, but I started at “A” earlier this year, so today it’s Jordan for me. I met an Irish lady a few years ago who lived there and attended a nice evangelical church. Things seem to … Continue reading Peace, Time Travel, Animals in Heaven
This brings to mind the Undertones song, My Perfect Cousin from April 1980. I heard the song before it was released. They played it in their concert in the Arcadia in Cork on February 2nd, 1980. They were great. I still see it as my favourite live concert ever. They came from Derry if you’re … Continue reading My Perfect Cousin
Sorry for the boring answer, but walking is my favorite form of physical exercise. I have tried broader home exercises, but I tend to get bored and lose motivation. But it helps if I integrate it with listening to music. I do have an exercise bike, and I also enjoy exercising in virtual reality (VR). … Continue reading Dance into the Light
I don’t think that I’d want to go to the moon. We all love the moon, but I like viewing it from the earth. It might be a little boring to be on it. And I’m so used to breathing air that I’d feel strange without it 🙂. I would happily pay to send others … Continue reading Fly Me to the Moon
I think it was late 1976 when I discovered Pink Floyd’s old albums. I first heard them in 1975, but only Wish You Were Here. Throughout 1976, I remember discovering many of the Beatles albums and then I moved on to Pink Floyd’s back catalogue. That’s the sort of thing that I miss nowadays. But, … Continue reading 1976: Music Memories
I didn’t really ever want to be a lumberjack. I like to start my posts with something silly. Then people will say “I thought he was silly, but he’s quite actually sensible”. But maybe they’ll say “I thought he was silly, but he’s even sillier than I thought.” 🙂 Seriously, I dreamt of being a … Continue reading Lumberjack
I began this series with my Hymns: 1980 Memories post, so this is the 34th in the series 😀. Even though 2014 is 11 years ago, it doesn’t feel all that far back. As I get older, in many ways I’m more contented, but life seems duller. Maybe I’m starting to like dullness 😀. I … Continue reading Hymns: 2014 Memories
