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 always prefer happy endings, but life doesn’t always yield happy endings. Perhaps I’d rewrite the ending of Romeo and Juliet. I previously answered a question very similar to this by wanting to rewrite the ending of Alice in Wonderland, which told us that Wonderland was just a dream 😀. I’m happy when I wake … Continue reading Romeo and Juliet
In spiritual terms, I’d like to see a huge revival all over the world, with everyone loving God more, loving one another more, and trusting in Jesus for salvation. We’ll always need a Saviour. If I think in silly selfish terms 😀, I’d like to be able to teleport anywhere in the world and travel … Continue reading Revival
Back when I was 18, I had many different opinions about politics and religion and the world in general. I am from a Roman Catholic background. There was much about Roman Catholic customs and beliefs that I wasn’t enthusiastic about. But I was enthusiastic about Jesus Himself. And when someone gave me a Gideons New … Continue reading To Persevere in my Faith
I wanted to choose someone spiritual, such as The Good Samaritan, but for all his goodness, maybe he’d be dull 😀. I’ve had great fun over the years watching The Simpsons, and Homer Simpson is my favourite character. And he’s quite harmless. I don’t have any great yearning to have dinner with anyone, but when … Continue reading Homer Simpson
Back around 1982, here in Ireland, I came up to Limerick from Cork on a little evangelism team. Cork is in the far South of Ireland. We went along to an open-air preaching meeting that some Limerick churches were holding. I was handing out Christian literature. I remember meeting an angry older Roman Catholic man … Continue reading Get Back Up North
I can think of lots of things that I was pleased to purchase. The thing that I’m probably most pleased about was my house. I bought it back in 1992. I had been renting back then. I thought that I might eventually try to buy one, but I wasn’t in any rush. We had a … Continue reading House?
I glance at various apps, such as email, Facebook, Jetpack and so on. I spend a lot of time listening to Audible, but I don’t spend much time looking at it. I spend most time on YouTube. I often watch it on my Meta Oculus. I don’t necessarily watch 3D clips. There aren’t many to … Continue reading YouTube
I enjoyed the story of the Elephant Man. I don’t see myself as particularly compassionate, but sometimes an unusual wave of compassion hits me. And I was inspired by the character that Anthony Hopkins played – a doctor who attempted to make life easier for the man who had an exteme disability. The movie was … Continue reading The Elephant Man
Sometimes people blame religion for wars. But it can be just because the tribes or factions who have a dispute just happen to have different cultures, and religion is part of that. For example, in Northern Ireland, Roman Catholic or Protestant terrorists were hardly seen as model Christians by most of the people in their … Continue reading Religious Violence
I don’t know if I miss oudated technolgies much, but I am nostalgic about old telephones. I’ve never beeen all that fond of phones, but when I see old ones or telephone boxes, I do get a wave of nostalgia. And vehicles such as older cars, buses or trains give me good feelings too. But … Continue reading Telephones
