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’ve been exploring some of the very modern worship songs as an old guy 😀. But now, I’ve decided to alternate between very modern hymns, old hymns, and in-between hymns, namely the worship songs from the 60s to the 90s that feature in hymnbooks such as Mission Praise. Today it’s the turn of the old … Continue reading Hymns: Blessed Assurance
At my age (in my early 60s) my parents were retired. I have fond memories of happy trips to see them, accompanied by our first two kids, a toddler and a new baby Now, these two kids are around the age that I was at that time. Isn’t Life Strange? Perhaps it isn’t, but it … Continue reading Retired
When I was young, the Roman Catholic Church had a much bigger influence on Irish public opinion than it has today. I was brought up Roman Catholic. In my teens, I questioned some of its distinctive doctrines. When I got to 18, I committed my life to Christ and became an evangelical Christian.

We can get close to that by renting holiday homes for a week or so. But if this question is about dreaming, … Continue reading Let Me Think 😀
Let me think: I think Thank God is probably the most correct answer. I realize that we grow through our trials and challenges and that I should thank God in every circumstance, but we all need good news from time to time – at least I think that I do 😀. The greatest news of … Continue reading I Thank God
When the kids were young, and when I was young, I used to enjoy holidays and day trips. Nowadays, my focus is armchair travelling. I don’t have the same appetite for physical travelling. I do travel a little, but I need to be pushed into it 😀. Here’s a pic of the Yorkshire Dales – … Continue reading Travel

To answer this question briefly and honestly, I don’t desperately need a break. But if a genie appeared to me and asked me if I needed a break, I would probably answer that I’d like to feel perfectly good without any of these minor aches and pains or other annoying chronic health issues. I shouldn’t … Continue reading Minor Health Issues
That’s a tough question to answer. Here are 10 possible answers, but of these, I suppose that I’d choose the World Wide Web. So, as stated above, I personally think of the web as being the most significant. What lies ahead? Who knows? I asked Microsoft Co-pilot. What I’d be most excited about would be … Continue reading World Wide Web
On my trips to the UK, as an individual and with the family, I used to always love the London to Cambridge trip. I remember staying in a Youth Hostel near King’s Cross station. We’d wake, pop down to Pret a Manger for coffee and a danish pastry, and then plan out the day. If … Continue reading Day Trip to Cambridge
