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..
This series began with the 1980s, when I was discovering lots of new hymns, but I didn’t really discover many new ones in later years. Perhaps I did, but I just don’t remember discovering them. But, I’ll persist anyway and see what I can come up with 😀. But you won’t find much about hymns … Continue reading Hymns: 2000 Memories
I assume that this is asking me which I prefer. As a child, we had plenty of dogs and cats as pets. I also had two white rabbits, a little white mouse, a couple of birds, and some tropical fish. Then, as an adult, I never allowed my kids to keep pets. But I do … Continue reading Lion of Judah
Some years ago, at work, we were discussing MP3s and how you could find old songs on the web. This was before YouTube. Someone mentioned that she’d like to find Who Knows Where the Time Goes. It doesn’t seem so long since I had that conversation but wow! – it’s 23 years! Who knows where … Continue reading Who Knows Where the Time Goes?
Many things bother me, both trivial and not so trivial. For example, why does Paul Weller look so small in the Band Aid Do They Know It’s Christmas video? He’s actually 5ft 11. Bob Geldof and Simon Le Bon are 6ft 1 ½, which is only 2 inches taller. Maybe it was something to do … Continue reading Many Things
In the summer of 1988, I needed to be certain that I was marrying the right girl. No, it wasn’t Kylie Minogue 😀, but the song is a reminder of how disturbing uncertainty can sometimes be, even in the routine things in life, let alone the deeper questions, such as “why are we here” and … Continue reading I Still Have Faith in You
This brings to mind one of my great adventures. 40 years ago today, I went on a tube train to Wembley stadium. I didn’t have any hopes of going to the Live Aid concert. I just wanted to see the scene because I happened to be at a loose end that day. And to my … Continue reading Eternal Security
I was a little tempted to ignore this prompt. I’m quite a shy person, and I don’t enjoy sitting around tables much for whatever reason. Maybe, I feel a little trapped. So, how do I answer this one? Who are we talking about? Well, to keep things simple, let’s stick to those still living. I … Continue reading Gilbert O’Sullivan
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!
