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..
An old Irish proverb, says:The Older the Fiddle, the Sweeter the Tune Well I don’t know. Maybe it depends of the fiddle. I’ve met many lovely older people throughout my life…and some not so lovely 😀. As a Christian, I’d like to think that I’d get more holy as I grow older, but that’s hard … Continue reading The Older the Fiddle, the Sweeter the Tune
Rev 22:17Let anyone who hears, say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come. Let the one who desires take the water of life freely. The picture shows an old fountain near where our fellowship used to meet in Tipperary town back in the 1990s. It was provided by Stafford O’Brien Esq (1783-1864), a prominent … Continue reading Hymns: 1999 Memories
I go to bed at 10 pm, and I wake up around 5.30 to 6 am. Hopefully, that information won’t be of much use to all you identity thieves out there 😀. I developed the habit of waking earlier when the kids were young. I’d like to shift it to 11 to 7, but it … Continue reading Awake O Zion!
So, how do I increase comfort in my daily life? Well, I try to have a daily nap around lunchtime and wind down in the evening by reading and listening to music. And I find walking quite relaxing too. And I especially find comfort in reflecting on what I can remember from the past, while … Continue reading The Comforter Has Come!
Apologies for such a predictable answer but I’m most excited about Heaven – or to be more specific, the New Heaven and the New Earth. Will it be up there or down here? It’ll be everywhere 😀. Rev 21:1-4Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth … Continue reading Wonderful Time Up There!
My title comes from a 1972 Cliff Richard song; Living in Harmony. Here he performs it in December 1973 at the Royal Variety Performance. I could have chosen another 1972 song; A Thing Called Love by Johnny Cash. Well, you wouldn’t let go of love. Love is what you need for harmony 😀. Although if … Continue reading Living in Harmony
I like sacred music, such as hymns, but I also like secular music, such as pop, rock, classical and pretty much everything else. It was always my goal to be into classical music more. The Inspector Morse soundtrack albums were very helpful in this respect, but I confess that I tend to focus on snippets … Continue reading Let There Be Music
I suppose the most interesting one was the summer of 1984 when I bought an inter-rail ticket and toured Europe for a month. That whole summer is very memorable.
I think of an authority as someone who is a university professor, or someone who knows more about a subject than almost anyone else. I’m not an authority, but I have a degree of expertise in metal and engineering technology, software development, teaching and education, instructional design and technical writing. I do love the notion … Continue reading Getting to Know You
1998 was the year of the Titanic film – at least when it reached Ireland 😀. I was very fond of the soundtrack. Christians often use the Titanic as an illustration of how we need a Saviour. No-one swam to the shore. They relied on lifeboats and some, thankfully, were rescued. In the same way, … Continue reading Hymns: 1998 Memories
