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.
Let me think. I could write “It was the best of times, it was the “blurst” of times”. But maybe Charles Dickens would sue me – or the monkeys from the Simpsons. I’d probably want to write about my physical background and my spiritual background. So, I’d write about my Cork background and maybe even … Continue reading I Was Born Twice
I assume that this question relates to things that I’d be sorry to lose rather than something that would literally cause your death, such as losing access to essential medication. So, I choose the Bible, something that allows me to access the Web, and a musical instrument. I don’t absolutely need these. I have enough … Continue reading Bible, Web, Musical Instrument
I’ve never had any major physical or mental health issues, but like most people, I have had minor issues. And that all helps me to grow and to empathize with people. In some ways, I’d rather not have had health issues, but perhaps I would be immature. I dunno 😀. Back in 1979, I remember … Continue reading Trials
I’d like to thank Bob Dylan for today’s title. That’s from his 1975 album, Blood on the Tracks 😀. I knew little about Dylan until I heard that he’d become a born-again Christian in 1979. I was on that path myself in 1979, and Dylan helped to give me the final nudge to commit my … Continue reading Simple Twist of Fate
I worked as a voluntary evangelist with London City Mission from September 1982 to September 1983. We were reminded from the outset that we were there to work. It wasn’t a London holiday. And we did work, but it also felt like a holiday. I’d often travel to museums and tourist spots on my day … Continue reading London Year (1982-1983)
I can’t see myself enjoying being anyone other than me for a day. If I turned into the other person, I wouldn’t be me. And if I was me, and I stepped into their role, maybe I’d find it quite stressful. Perhaps I could have a little role in the recording studio during the recording … Continue reading A Bad Guy
Firstly, this isn’t my house. It’s a Pexels.com pic 😀. Secondly, I never built any kind of physical house, and I’ve built little in my house. I can’t remember doing much DIY at all. I think that I might have made bookshelves at one stage. My father and father-in-law were hugely helpful in terms of … Continue reading A House on a Rock
I’d happily ban bad language, but the very reason that people use it is that it is bad or shocking, so maybe that would be counterproductive. It would make it more bad and shocking. I used to be quite foul mouthed as a teenager. I tried to give it up, but I couldn’t. Then, when … Continue reading Awesome
I’ll be 64 in the next six months 😱. Paul McCartney sings “I could be handy mending a fuse, when your lights have gone“. But I don’t know anything about fixing fuses. So let’s hope that I don’t need to face the challenge of mending a fuse 😀. Seriously, I can’t think of any challenges … Continue reading When I’m 64
Let me think 😀. When I reached my teens, I think that I was disappointed with life and disappointed with the world. And I wanted to change the world and myself. I was interested in Christianity, communism, and pacifism. Regarding communism, I wasn’t at all attracted to communism as practiced by the oppressive communist regimes. … Continue reading Listen to Older Folk
