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..
Off-the-top-of-my-head responses to questions that WordPress throws up every day.
I don’t know how to answer this one because I find that my outlook on books can change with my mood. So, I might attempt to read a recommended classic book and find it dull and boring. Then, some years later, I return to it, and it’s wonderful. And then, I might try it again … Continue reading It Depends
Well, firstly, I’m sure that history is full of underrated people. But when I see this prompt, I think of all the people that shape history that don’t feature in history books. When I was a child, I remember hearing the expression “The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.” It wasn’t cherished by … Continue reading The Hand That Rocks the Cradle
I would think that people interpret the term “minimalist living” in various ways. It’s always something that’s attracted me. In various religions, you hear of people leaving lavish lifestyles to pursue simplicity and spiritual priorities. An example is Francis of Assisi. I tend to like to keep things simple. Yet, if people didn’t nudge me … Continue reading Minimalist Living? Let me think 😀
From around 8 to 10 years old, I was big into circuses. I used to buy Corgi circus vehicles for birthdays and Christmas, and I’d visit any circus that came to town. I’d even visit in the early morning on the first day to see them assembling the circus, and I sometimes helped out a … Continue reading Circuses
When I grew up in Cork, I can think of several memorable events that marked the year and their associated customs. Perhaps the most interesting is bonfire night or “bonna night” as we used to call it in Cork. All the kids in the area would collect junk and light a bonfire in a local … Continue reading Bonfire Night
To answer this one, I could enter the world of fantasy. Let’s suppose I got to heaven, and someone granted me a wish. We’ll undoubtedly worship God in heaven collectively, because the New Testament presents that picture in the book of Revelation, but it also describes a new creation where everything is perfect. That’s not … Continue reading Perfect Health
It isn’t easy to decide what’s best. I’ve certainly enjoyed some more than others, but that might relate to my mood or expectations at the time. Anyway, I’ll list a few: Horslips, Cork City Hall, December 1975 This was my first rock concert. I was only 13 at the time. I was aware of some … Continue reading My Top Ten
I’m not sure that I understand the question. Being an evangelical Christian, I could say preach the gospel. But maybe the question relates to tourism and what to do if you find yourself stuck in Limerick for a few days. I’m from Cork, and though I’ve lived in Limerick for most of my life now, … Continue reading Head to Killarney
I’m pretty obsessed with memories of my earlier life. I love to retrace my steps. I’m so grateful that I am able to remember so much. Life would be quite dull for me if I couldn’t remember anything about my past. But if I were offered a super power, I’d like to become a ghost … Continue reading Time Travel
Something strange happened to the Daily Prompt. I usually write it a day ahead, and I glance at the prompts that are due for the remainder of the week. But the prompts seem to have changed. That’s one mystery that I’ve yet to solve 😀. Here’s a nice song from Prefab Sprout’s 1997 Album, Andromeda … Continue reading The Mystery of Love
