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..
So, what am I good at? At various points of my life I believed that I was particularily good at something or other, but good is a relative term. There’s always plenty of people better than me. I was very proud, as a child, when I taught myself to play keyboards, but I’m no Rick … Continue reading I Am So Ordinary
When I think of having it all, I can think in earthly terms or in heavenly terms. And in earthly terms, there’s the real world and the dream world. When I was young, I focused more on the dream world. I come from a nice family, and I appreciated that, but it all seemed quite … Continue reading You Can Have It All!
So who would I most like to talk to soon? The three biggest things in my life are Family, Music and Christianity. I look forward to meeting my daughters who have grown up and moved to new locations. It’s always a joy to see them. And those in my family who have passed away, such … Continue reading Can We Talk?
My iPad was very precious to me, but now it spontaneously shuts down every minute. I will eventually buy a new one 😀. Perhaps we’re speaking of items that are of sentimental value and that are impossible to replace. They’re quite a lot of these in my house. I think the oldest item is a … Continue reading Precious Possessions: Finnegan
So, we get to 1992. A key memory of that year was the 1992 Baptist Youth Evangelism (BYE) Team, my last time leading a team in Cork. As usual, we spent the week spreading the gospel in the streets. On our day off, we went to the Old Head of Kinsale. 1992 was also the … Continue reading Hymns: 1992 Memories
When I think of collections, I think of the slogan for Pokémon back around 1999, when my kids were young – the notion of obsessively collecting them all:Gotta Catch ‘Em All! As a child, I remember collecting soccer cards, coins and stamps. Then of course, I could say that I have book collections, CD and … Continue reading Gotta Catch ‘Em All!
So, what legacy would I want to leave behind? That’s an interesting question. When I was young, I dreamt of being famous or important. Maybe it would be easier to answer the question if my dreams had come true 😀. But I’m just an ordinary guy. I was listening to a podcast some time ago, … Continue reading Only One Life
I don’t think I feel the cold as much as most people that I know. And in Ireland, it doesn’t generally get too hot or too cold. I only really notice the cold in Winter when I want to sit or lie down and feel comfortable. A hot water bottle helps. Maybe they’re a bit … Continue reading Hearts Aflame
I was never big into playing sports and climbing trees etc., so I never broke any bones. But I do have one claim to fame. I chipped a bone in my foot once. When I was a voluntary evangelist (VE) with London City Mission, I was on my way to a Bible Study at Bermondsey … Continue reading Dem Bones, Dem Bones, Dem Dry Bones
I’m blessed enough to have been born in a place and time when my work hours were reasonable. So by default, it was balanced. I suppose, work ate into my home life through study, which I enjoyed for the most part, and stress, which was partly my own fault for ruminating about work issues at … Continue reading Work for Jesus
