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’m not sure if this really is my first re-release, but I’ve answered similar questions so often in the last few months, I thought it might be easiest to point to a previous post. I don’t really cook much these days. The Feast is Ready to Begin Some of my favorite pop groups re-released singles … Continue reading My First Re-release
I got an Amstrad PCW 9512 back around 1991. It didn’t have anything like Windows. I just used it to write essays (I was taking a theology course at the time), sermons and so on. I think that you could use the BASIC computing language on it and play a few primitive games. It was … Continue reading Amstrad PCW 9512 – OK Computer
I could think of lots of things that I’d be scared to do. Some are a bit ridiculous, such as climbing Mount Everest or bungee jumping. I could also think in terms of sharing my faith. It’s not so much that I’m scared, but people don’t always appreciate you talking about politics or religion, especially … Continue reading Going to Doctors and Hospitals
Let me think. Here’s a little list: Here are two of my favourite secular weather songs: And here are two “weather” hymns: And I’ll close with a New Testament passage that mentions the weather…and it reminds me that I need to love the lefties too, just as God does. Matthew 5:43-4543 “You have heard that it … Continue reading The Weather 🌤
In Ireland, hurling, Gaelic football, rugby and soccer are popular. As a child, most of my friends were into soccer. We had some interest in local teams, but we mainly followed British teams. I followed Manchester United way back in the early 1970s – the days of George Best and Bobby Charlton. I lost interest … Continue reading Formula 1 and Soccer
It depends on how much I won. Maybe I wouldn’t win enough for a goose 😀. Anyway, gambling is generally discouraged in all Christian traditions and probably in other religions too. So, I’d feel a bit strange buying a lottery ticket. A friend of mine, who’s an atheist, wouldn’t buy them either. He says that … Continue reading I’d Buy a Goose
I’m a huge Audible fan, so I tend to listen to books rather than read them. But sometimes, I do both. And I have numerous books that I bought years ago that I have yet to read. I want to read them all. The book that I’m listening to this month is Dancing Through the … Continue reading Dancing Through the Fire
Sorry for the misleading title 😀. In Ireland, when a family member emigrated—often to the U.S.—the night before their departure was treated like a wake, because families believed they might never see them again. “A funeral wake is a gathering of family and friends to honour someone who has died, usually offering a more relaxed, … Continue reading The American Wake?
That’s somewhat similar to a question asked a couple of days ago, which I answered in my Fun Fun Fun post 😀. Perhaps it depends on the mood I’m in. It reminds me of an old song that I used to hear on my parents’ records. The first entry that I found on YouTube was … Continue reading You See My Friend, It All Depends
Ah fun! I like fun. I think it’s fun. And fun is what I need in January, my least favourite month – or is it February? Roll on March and Easter sunshine 😀. I’ll just write off the top of my head. I’ll choose a few random fun activities. And I’ll end with one of … Continue reading Fun, Fun, Fun
