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 1974, I became more familiar with Paul McCartney’s music. I particularly liked the singles from Band on the Run; Jet, and Band on the Run itself. And in the autumn, I purchased my first Beatles album, the Red Album – 1962-1966. Up to that time, the only Beatles song that I knew was Yellow … Continue reading 1974: Music Memories
If I had a million dollars to give away, I would think first of people around the world who are experiencing famine and starvation. I would probably want to do a bit of research. I am aware that some regions are ruled by terrorists who steal the aid given and use it for weapons, terrorist … Continue reading Tearfund
I began this series with my Hymns: 1980 Memories post, so this is the 32nd in the series 😀. At some stage in the 21st Century, I started to feel as though someone teleported me into the future and that my time is the 20th Century. But maybe that happens everyone as they age. So, … Continue reading Hymns: 2012 Memories
How do I answer this? Maybe I could take control of the world and solve all its problems 😀. But realistically, three things that I’ve thought about are these: Recording an album every year. I could do this at home. It mightn’t be very good, but it would only be me listening to it 😀. … Continue reading Make an Album
At an earthly level, I think of goals in terms of things such as aiming to get first-class honours at university and reaching goals that we set at work. It was hard getting first-class honours at university, but I did achieve it when I did a Graduate Diploma in Computing back in 1999. But maybe … Continue reading Perfection 😀
When it comes to art, I’m very happy to walk around art galleries and watch documentaries on art history, but historic or modern art does little for me. I’m impressed, but there’s no magic in it. For me, pop and rock music and album covers were magical for me. If anyone reads my blog regularly, … Continue reading Who Were My Favorite Artists? 😀
It’s hard to decide between music and reading. I probably do spend more time on reading in its broad sense. What do I mean by “broad sense.” Well, perhaps you could argue that listening to audiobooks, podcasts and even watching video falls into the broad category of reading. For example, I’m currently listening to 1971 … Continue reading Read All About It
Well, this is a scary prospect. I suppose we all go through life losing possessions. I was a bit disappointed when my iPad stopped working a few months ago. But if you lose them all one-by-one, you can generally replace them. The most likely way that I would lose all my possessions would be a … Continue reading This World is Not My Home
In 1973, I was well and truIy a pop fan. I was big into glam rock groups, such as Slade, and I was a fan of Irish artist, Gilbert O’Sullivan. I knew nothing about Pink Floyd until 1975. I probably heard Dark Side of the Moon around 1976. Nowadays, I’d rank that as the album … Continue reading 1973: Music Memories
I named yesterday’s post after a Radiohead Song – Creep. So, when I saw today’s prompt, another Radiohead song came to mind. I Might Be Wrong. Radiohead are an acquired taste, so you mightn’t want to bother listening to the song, especially if you’re not from around here. But I like them 😀. When I … Continue reading I Might Be Wrong
