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..
Because Christmas is coming, I’ve decided to take a break from my daily review of modern worship songs and focus on Christmas hymns for a month. I’ve started with Advent. Advent hymns emphasize waiting, longing, and preparation, while Christmas hymns celebrate fulfilment, joy, and Christ’s birth. Today’s hymn is Hark! A Herald Voice is Calling: … Continue reading Advent: Hark! A Herald Voice is Calling

I sometimes wonder if I’ve been too passive or content with life. I’ve had my dreams, but that’s how I saw them – as dreams. I am impressed with people with ambition, who’ve accomplished great things. Yet, the world is made up of ordinary people, who collectively probably do accomplish great things. I greatly admire … Continue reading Become More Proactive?
I think that I’m a morning person 😀. I like the night too. I just find that I’m more productive in the mornings than I am in the afternoons. And I generally relax when evening comes. I was trying to remember songs about the morning. The most memorable one for me is Morning Has Broken. … Continue reading Morning Has Broken

I’m not into fashion at all. So, I can’t really think in terms of having favorite things to wear. The only way that I can respond to today’s prompt is to speak in spiritual terms, and also reflect on some old pop hits. I’ll begin with the pop hits. It might even provoke me to … Continue reading Forever in Blue Jeans
In this series, I explore some of the very modern worship songs as an old guy 😀. And I try to be positive, though I generally seem to end up damning them with faint praise. But I am gradually growing to like them more and more. Today’s hymn has a wonderful title: Glorious Day. It’s … Continue reading Hymns: Glorious Day
I’ve never been keen on telephones. In my younger days, I’d use them when I needed to, but I generally avoided them. I always get a bit jittery when they ring. Then, back in the 1990s, when everyone started buying mobile phones, I didn’t bother 😀. I did get one eventually, probably in the mid-noughties. … Continue reading My Phone 😀
