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 assume that you’re asking me this because you want to give me a present of a home. That’s wonderful! Thank you so much! 😀 I’d like a penthouse flat somewhere near the Royal Albert Hall in London. Then, I’ll go for a stroll in St James Park every morning. I’ll pop down to Harrods … Continue reading Penthouse in South Kensington
Many things can bring me joy, but it isn’t often that I shed tears of joy. I want to be totally honest here. I don’t have any memories of weeping tears of joy in church although maybe sometimes, if I was giving a talk, I might have got a little emotional. I do remember feeling … Continue reading Climb Ev’ry Mountain
I hadn’t really intended to blog. I chose WordPress.com as a quick and easy way to present the gospel and my own story. There are many excellent resources out there, but I think it’s nice for ordinary individuals to share how they view things. I think of the following Bible verse: 1 Peter 3:1515 But in … Continue reading We’ve a Story to Tell to the Nations
I don’t want to annoy anyone, so I’ll interview myself about what I remember of the music of the 1960s 😀. Were you a pop fan in the 1960s? I was a very young child, and I wasn’t a pop fan. I do remember seeing long-haired teenaged hippies, and I didn’t think much of them … Continue reading Songs of the 1960s
My title comes from the 1983 Madness song, The Sun and the Rain. Madness, who had quite a jolly image had three singles in 1983, and all of them seemed to address feeling low. The other two were Tomorrow’s Just Another Day and Wings of a Dove. A fun fact about the Wings of a … Continue reading The Sun and the Rain
Walking is beneficial to my physical, mental, and spiritual health. I’ve little more to say. There was a time in my life where I merely walked as a means to an end. But now it’s an end in itself. I remember being quite fascinated by a documentary about Abba’s Agneta Fältskog many years ago. She was … Continue reading Walk On
I was just looking up old TV shows following yesterday’s post, and I noticed that on RTE in 1982, there was this TV show named Greatest Heroes of the Bible. I was actually in London in the autumn of 1982, so I knew nothing about it. But I looked it up on YouTube, and I … Continue reading Greatest Heroes of the Bible 1978
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
