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 this series, I explore some modern worship songs from the point of view of an older person, who has a great love for all things old. But I don’t want to end up a grumpy old man – at least no grumpier than I’ve been all my life. I’ll try to be positive 😁. … Continue reading Hymns: Firm Foundation
I won’t mention family or friends. I’ll mention those who I might listen to on YouTube, Audible, or podcasts. I’ll begin with a few secular folk, and then I’ll move on to some Christian teachers: Someone said, “Whoever is tired of London is tired of life”. I never tire of London, even when I tire … Continue reading Here’s My Top 10
In this series, I (as an old guy 😀) take a look at some modern worship songs. I’m desperately trying to settle down in the 21st Century – unless some kind person can tell me how I can travel back in time.😀 The first thing that I notice about today’s 2018 song is a riff … Continue reading Hymns: Who You Say I Am
It’s very hard to choose a favourite animal. It depends on the context. For pets, I liked both cats and dogs as a child. If I’m visiting a zoo, perhaps lions, tigers, elephants, rhinos, hippos, orangutans and giraffes are the most memorable. But the more I think about it, the more difficult it is to … Continue reading Pandas
In this series, I explore some of the newer Christian worship songs. I ignored new songs for most of the last 30 years. About 10 years ago I started catching up with some of the 1990s songs. Now, I’m trying to get to know the songs of the 21st Century. I don’t want to live … Continue reading Hymns: See a Victory
I’m not really one for climbing mountains, but I like being surrounded by mountains. And I’m not the sort of person who’d want to lie on the beach all day, but I do enjoy walking along beaches. It’s a long time since I swam. One of my favourite holiday spots is County Kerry, Ireland, which … Continue reading Kerry Mountains
I began this series with my Hymns: 1980 Memories post, so this is the 38th in the series 😀. I think of 2018 as quite a dull year. I felt that way about some years in my earlier life, but I eventually grew to like them more. Perhaps your early years always seem more magical … Continue reading Hymns: 2018 Memories
Eeek! Today’s prompt doesn’t really suit me, but I’ll answer it anyway – so as not to break the daily habit 😃. There’s no consensus in my family about favourite meals. But some of us are keen on foreign dishes, such as the following (let’s say the top three are our favourites): I don’t know … Continue reading Foreign Dishes
In this series, I take a look at some of the very modern worship songs, as a fan of the older hymns. I try not to criticize them. You can always find good things in them. The one thing that I found odd about today’s hymn is the word “reckless”. It reminds me of Wreckless … Continue reading Hymns: Reckless Love
I could say Jesus, because he is a historical figure, but I’ve already met him in spiritual terms. God is omnipresent and at times He makes his presence felt, particularly when we draw close to him. In heaven, I’ll be much more aware of his presence. When I think of Jesus, if I met him, … Continue reading Paul and Patrick
