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.
If we habitually seek to control everything and dread the thought of unpredictability, our world gets smaller and smaller. This is especially true for those of us who have anxious temperaments. And one way to tackle this is to introduce a little chaos into your life. When I say little, I really mean little. You … Continue reading Definitely
Currently, I just enjoy randomly jumping in and out of blogs. I would like to read more, but I’m probably more inclined to watch YouTube rather than read, though I hope that that I’ll soon change. I don’t know if I have a favourite blog. I do have some here on WordPress that I’ve subscribed … Continue reading Heavenly Worldliness
Like most people, I’ve always been in the habit of aligning myself to a movement or subculture. For example, back in the 1970s, when I first got into pop music, I liked “glam rock”. Then, I was deeply disappointed to hear glam rock people, such as David Bowie, getting into soul music. And in the … Continue reading Reformed How I Love to Proclaim It 😀
I’m in the habit of thinking in terms of songs. Since I was into the Beatles so much back in the 1970s, two songs popped into my head when I read today’s prompt – Paul McCartney’s Golden Slumbers and John Lennon’s How Do You Sleep? Lennon’s is a bitter song – the sort of feelings … Continue reading Golden Slumbers
It’s quite a normal thing for me to hit 5,000 steps. It sounds like a lot, but it’s just a couple of miles. I always start the day with a mile walk, and weather permitting, I generally take another couple of walks throughout the day. It feels very natural for me, but I realize that … Continue reading You’ll Never Walk Alone
Back in 1984, I remembering liking My Ever Changing Moods by the Style Council. I was pleased that someone else was caught up in the whirlwind of their ever changing moods – like I was 😀. Even in recent days, I’m quite fascinated by how the weather affect my mood. I don’t see any great … Continue reading Realistic Thoughts
I went through different phases of liking and disliking contemporary Christian music. I never heard much of it when I was a Roman Catholic back in the 1970s. But I didn’t really like trendy folk masses 😀 even though I was into pop music. Then, when I became an evangelical Christian in 1980, many of … Continue reading Contemporary Christian Music
Any significant decisions that I ever made were only made after much thought. I don’t think I’d describe them as “following my gut”. But perhaps intuition sometimes does play a part. However, for most decisions, I can’t say if they were exactly right. For example, when choosing careers, where to live, and so on, things … Continue reading Where He Leads Me, I Will Follow
This post needs a spoiler alert. If you’ve only seen the original 1977 movie, beware 😀. So, isn’t Anakin Skywalker the same person as Darth Vader? Yes and no. He is the same person, but at the close of The Empire Strikes Back, he had a dramatic conversion from the dark side. You didn’t see … Continue reading Anakin Skywalker
I was brought up a Roman Catholic. I was curious about other religions and Christian denominations, but the default mode was just to assume that whatever everyone around you believed was true. In my teens, I got into the Beatles music. And because they were my heroes, maybe reading interviews and their history was the … Continue reading The Assumption
