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..
Ooh this is a fun prompt 😀. I’m just trying to decide when I stopped being a kid. Well, I’ll put it at 12-years-old, which for me is 1974. And I probably won’t remember much from before 1965. I’m Irish. We only had one channel until 1978. We had no TV station at all until … Continue reading Watching the Detectives
If I had to choose, I’d probably say morning. Even on holiday, that’s my favourite time of day. I remember London holidays where our family would stay in a Youth Hostel and then go off out to a Pret A Manger for breakfast. The one that I remember most was on Euston road near King’s … Continue reading Morning Star
I don’t really cook or bake much, so maybe I shouldn’t answer this question 😀. But I used to do a bit of cooking when we first got married. I was a part-time teacher, and I had more time on my hands than my wife had at that stage. I used to enjoy soups in … Continue reading The Feast is Ready to Begin
To answer the question, rather than waffling 😀, I’ll tell you about Tokyo. I have this Walkabout Mini-golf game for my Meta Oculus, and they release a new course every couple of months. This month it was Tokyo. I was excited about that. I suppose that counts as the last thing I was excited about. … Continue reading I Get So Excited
I’m not the best person to answer this question because I always feel myself wanting to go backwards in time. Even in Google Earth Street View, I frequently switch the setting to 2008 😀. That’s as far back as you can go. Sure, I’d ensure that the city had good amenities and facilities, but if … Continue reading City to Come
My surname comes from West Cork, specifically the Baltimore area: I’m not going to tell you what it is, but it’s quite a common Cork name. One interesting story about Baltimore is that it was once raided by Algerian pirates, who kidnapped a bunch of people and brought them to a life of slavery in … Continue reading Rome and West Cork
Here are some popular worship songs from 2005. As I frequently point out, “modern” for us in Tipperary meant 1980s choruses. We didn’t know anything about 21st Century songs, but I’m enjoying familiarizing myself with them now. In our fellowship in Tipperary, I remember studying Romans, Judges, 1 Samuel, and Daniel. I also visited Limerick … Continue reading Hymns: 2005 Memories
This question gives me a sense of déjà vu 😀. I feel that I answered it a few times recently. Ali Binazir’s Calculation says my chances of existing were 1 in 10 to the 2,685,000th, and that’s assuming that life already formed, and that people already exist. Some scientists have calculated the odds of life forming … Continue reading Life’s a Miracle
For me, a favorite movie is one that I’d watch again and again. My wife and I have a selection that we keep coming back to. And most of them are old ones. So, I’ll get these out of the way before I mention movies that bring back golden memories of my childhood, early adulthood … Continue reading Oldies But Goodies
WelI, I don’t know if I’m particularly passionate about writing. However, I have spent most of my life either being educated or educating others, and to do that, you need to write. Perhaps I could mention two things. For technical writing, I enjoy taking badly written, confusing instructions and fixing them up. If I’m trying … Continue reading Everyday I Write the Book
