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 can’t really remember seeking out local dishes while travelling in Europe in my younger days. I would generally just head for McDonalds. 😀 And when I was a child, we only knew Irish food. Nowadays, we frequently eat foreign food in Ireland – particularly Indian, Thai, Chinese, Italian, Greek, Spanish and Mexican. The only … Continue reading Ulster Fry
I’d like to see schools teaching real-life skills such as driving. When I think of my school days, we did a lot of silly stuff that had little relevance to real life. Nowadays, I often remember being introduced to various Bible stories. These were certainly relevant, and still are. I do appreciate that. I sometimes … Continue reading Driving?
It’s nearly 50 years since I had anything like a pet. When I was a child, as a family, we had plenty of cats and dogs, and I myself has a white mouse, white rabbits, and finally, tropical fish. I don’t have any pics, so I’ll show something like them: What fascinated me was that … Continue reading My Fish 😀
I don’t know if I can think of the best piece of advice that I’ve ever received. I can certainly think of something that The Beatles sang – a song that I became familiar with when someone lent me the “Blue” album back in 1975, when I was 12, going on 13. And I regularly … Continue reading Let it Be
Well, as you go through the stages of life, you worry about different things – whether girls find me attractive, what find of a career I’ll end up with, and day-to-day stresses at work and so on. Now that I’m retired, my chief worry is probably health issues. I don’t have any major health issues, … Continue reading Hell or Purgatory
Romans 8:2828 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. I have this fantasy that I’d like to fulfil – but it’s just a fantasy. When I die and go to heaven, I’d like to visit a virtual version of my life … Continue reading Romans 8:28
Regarding travel, nowadays, I do most of my travel virtually – on YouTube, Google Earth and so on. And my goal is to go everywhere on these 😀. As for physical travel, I’ve mainly travelled around Ireland and the UK. I did visit some countries in Europe. So, I’ll list Europe, the UK, and Ireland. … Continue reading Real or Virtual?
I have many favourite Bible quotes. I can’t really say if there is a single one that always stands out more than the rest. But one that comes to mind is the following: Colossians 3:1Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand … Continue reading Things Above
I like the story of John Harper, a Scottish minister who evangelized in the icy waters of the Atlantic ocean during the sinking of the Titanic, just before drowning. There’s a brief summary on the following site: The Man Who Died Preaching He pleaded with people to believe in the Lord Jesus. People are often … Continue reading Believe in the Lord Jesus
I relate to Frodo (from Lord of the Rings) because both of us are ordinary, and I’d like to think that I’d be of some use to the world, despite my limitations. Spiritually, I think of fictional characters in the parables of Jesus. I can relate to most of them. I see a little bit … Continue reading Frodo Baggins
