Luxury: My Diary
I didn’t often keep a diary, but one of my hobbies is to consider each month of my life, and to try to see what I can remember.

Pressing On
What I like about Pressing On as a tagline is that I can apply it to myself, whatever mood or state I’m in.
Count Your Blessings
I am assuming that “good” here means “happy” rather than “good” in the moral sense. If the latter, the short answer is given by Jesus: John 6:28-29Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?” 29 Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.” But … Continue reading Count Your Blessings
I Am With You Always
Throughout my career, at various points, I would have spent most of my day largely with one person. In later years, I worked from home. I might be “with someone” in the sense that they’d be the person I interacted with most. But, perhaps some would work with mainly one person throughout their whole lives, … Continue reading I Am With You Always
Ringo Presley
I’d only change my name if I became a rock star. I’d choose a memorable name. And in doing so, I’d pay tribute to Ringo Starr and Elvis Presley. So, my new name would be Ringo Presley 😀. When I was around 8 years old, I hated all hippies. I liked Elvis because I saw … Continue reading Ringo Presley
Hymns: 1994 Memories
From 1994 to 1998, I was involved in both Tipperary Christian Fellowship and Limerick Baptist Church. From 1998 to 2020, I focused solely on Tipperary, though I live in Limerick, 25 miles away. Up to the end of 2007, we met in the SIPTU Hall (shown here). Then, we moved to a community centre building … Continue reading Hymns: 1994 Memories
Chocolate That’s Free, Good for You, and Lasts Forever
My dream chocolate bar? Well, if it’s just one chocolate bar, I quite like Fruit and Nut. I suppose it would be fun to have different types of chocolate with different ingredients in each square, but then again, I can think of something better – if I’m allowed to dream. Let’s say that an angel … Continue reading Chocolate That’s Free, Good for You, and Lasts Forever
Dare to Be a Daniel
So, do I remember my favourite book from childhood? Not really, but the question provoked me to consider what books I read as a child. I do remember the Dandy and Beano annuals around the house. Mine was the Beano. Comics were a large part of our childhood. Whizzer and Chips became my favourite after … Continue reading Dare to Be a Daniel
Powerful Books
Over the years, I’ve read all sorts of books; particularly novels, technical, travel, music biographies and theological. The most impactful ones are related to my Christian faith. Reading the Bible goes without saying, and maybe you could see that as a collection of 66 books, so perhaps it doesn’t count. In recent years, I tend … Continue reading Powerful Books
Fear No Evil
The main fear that comes to mind is public speaking. I remember, way back in 1980, shortly after I committed my life to Christ, someone asked me if I’d like to share my testimony with the congregation. I declined, saying that I was too nervous to speak in public. Anyway, some months later, I was … Continue reading Fear No Evil
