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 was a little tempted to ignore this prompt. I’m quite a shy person, and I don’t enjoy sitting around tables much for whatever reason. Maybe, I feel a little trapped. So, how do I answer this one? Who are we talking about? Well, to keep things simple, let’s stick to those still living. I … Continue reading Gilbert O’Sullivan
An old Irish proverb, says:The Older the Fiddle, the Sweeter the Tune Well I don’t know. Maybe it depends of the fiddle. I’ve met many lovely older people throughout my life…and some not so lovely 😀. As a Christian, I’d like to think that I’d get more holy as I grow older, but that’s hard … Continue reading The Older the Fiddle, the Sweeter the Tune
I go to bed at 10 pm, and I wake up around 5.30 to 6 am. Hopefully, that information won’t be of much use to all you identity thieves out there 😀. I developed the habit of waking earlier when the kids were young. I’d like to shift it to 11 to 7, but it … Continue reading Awake O Zion!
So, how do I increase comfort in my daily life? Well, I try to have a daily nap around lunchtime and wind down in the evening by reading and listening to music. And I find walking quite relaxing too. And I especially find comfort in reflecting on what I can remember from the past, while … Continue reading The Comforter Has Come!
Apologies for such a predictable answer but I’m most excited about Heaven – or to be more specific, the New Heaven and the New Earth. Will it be up there or down here? It’ll be everywhere 😀. Rev 21:1-4Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth … Continue reading Wonderful Time Up There!
My title comes from a 1972 Cliff Richard song; Living in Harmony. Here he performs it in December 1973 at the Royal Variety Performance. I could have chosen another 1972 song; A Thing Called Love by Johnny Cash. Well, you wouldn’t let go of love. Love is what you need for harmony 😀. Although if … Continue reading Living in Harmony
I like sacred music, such as hymns, but I also like secular music, such as pop, rock, classical and pretty much everything else. It was always my goal to be into classical music more. The Inspector Morse soundtrack albums were very helpful in this respect, but I confess that I tend to focus on snippets … Continue reading Let There Be Music
I suppose the most interesting one was the summer of 1984 when I bought an inter-rail ticket and toured Europe for a month. That whole summer is very memorable.
I think of an authority as someone who is a university professor, or someone who knows more about a subject than almost anyone else. I’m not an authority, but I have a degree of expertise in metal and engineering technology, software development, teaching and education, instructional design and technical writing. I do love the notion … Continue reading Getting to Know You
I would define romance as the initial rush of magical feelings that nature bestows on you to nudge you into a long-term, enduring loving relationship. I can see that in romantic novels and films, such as Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austin. You can see the romance in Mr. Darcy and Lizzie Bennet as they … Continue reading Love Divine, All Loves Excelling
