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.
Well, I see wild animals whenever I visit zoos, but I assume you’re asking if I ever see them in the wild. We don’t have many interesting wild animals in Ireland. Saint Patrick drove all the snakes out of Ireland. Why did he do that? It was too far for them to walk 😂. Anyway, … Continue reading Rarely
I have several favourite places, but today, I think of Cambridge. I first went to Cambridge in 1983. I had been a Pink Floyd fan, and that’s where they were from. And I had recently seen Chariots of Fire, which was partially set in Cambridge. I instantly bonded with Cambridge when I went there in … Continue reading Cambridge
I remember going into a record shop in South Kensington, London, back in 1982 and hearing Frustration by Soft Cell. I didn’t know who sung it when I heard it. There wasn’t any web back then, but I eventually found out who sung it. Marc Almond wasn’t really ordinary. The “ordinary” guy in the video … Continue reading I Am So Ordinary 😀
I sometimes wonder if I’ve been too passive or content with life. I’ve had my dreams, but that’s how I saw them – as dreams. I am impressed with people with ambition, who’ve accomplished great things. Yet, the world is made up of ordinary people, who collectively probably do accomplish great things. I greatly admire … Continue reading Become More Proactive?
I think that I’m a morning person 😀. I like the night too. I just find that I’m more productive in the mornings than I am in the afternoons. And I generally relax when evening comes. I was trying to remember songs about the morning. The most memorable one for me is Morning Has Broken. … Continue reading Morning Has Broken
I don’t see anything wrong with eating meat, but I think that I could happily live in a world without meat. I do eat meat and fish, but I tend to like it best when it doesn’t look like meat. And I never like the notion of animals being slaughtered. I suppose that there’s a … Continue reading Mixed
I’m not into fashion at all. So, I can’t really think in terms of having favorite things to wear. The only way that I can respond to today’s prompt is to speak in spiritual terms, and also reflect on some old pop hits. I’ll begin with the pop hits. It might even provoke me to … Continue reading Forever in Blue Jeans
In this series, I explore some of the very modern worship songs as an old guy 😀. And I try to be positive, though I generally seem to end up damning them with faint praise. But I am gradually growing to like them more and more. Today’s hymn has a wonderful title: Glorious Day. It’s … Continue reading Hymns: Glorious Day
I’ve never been keen on telephones. In my younger days, I’d use them when I needed to, but I generally avoided them. I always get a bit jittery when they ring. Then, back in the 1990s, when everyone started buying mobile phones, I didn’t bother 😀. I did get one eventually, probably in the mid-noughties. … Continue reading My Phone 😀
Firstly, let me explain the expression “committing my life to Christ”. I grew up in Roman Catholic Ireland, and I was brought up as a Roman Catholic. It was widely believed that everyone was a Christian by default in Ireland, but in school, we’d hear stories of conversions. These would be famous saints, such as … Continue reading Committing My life to Christ
