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 really one for climbing mountains, but I like being surrounded by mountains. And I’m not the sort of person who’d want to lie on the beach all day, but I do enjoy walking along beaches. It’s a long time since I swam. One of my favourite holiday spots is County Kerry, Ireland, which … Continue reading Kerry Mountains
Eeek! Today’s prompt doesn’t really suit me, but I’ll answer it anyway – so as not to break the daily habit 😃. There’s no consensus in my family about favourite meals. But some of us are keen on foreign dishes, such as the following (let’s say the top three are our favourites): I don’t know … Continue reading Foreign Dishes
I could say Jesus, because he is a historical figure, but I’ve already met him in spiritual terms. God is omnipresent and at times He makes his presence felt, particularly when we draw close to him. In heaven, I’ll be much more aware of his presence. When I think of Jesus, if I met him, … Continue reading Paul and Patrick
I think that we all trust our instincts, gut feelings or intuition to some degree. Life is much easier if we don’t need to constantly think through everything thoroughly and rationally. But I don’t like to rely too much on my instincts because they can be wrong. For example, I have been wrong about people. … Continue reading Yes and No
I like the University of Limerick and the surrounding area. It’s about three miles from the city centre. I first visited in 1983 for my entrance exams into Thomond College of Education (now merged with University of Limerick). I spent three years there, graduating in 1986. I was also involved in the Christian Union (CU) … Continue reading University of Limerick
In this series, I take a brief glance at some of the very modern worship songs, which I’m trying to develop a taste for. I used to hate them, then I put up with them, but now I’m starting to like them more. I still don’t like them as much as I like the old … Continue reading Hymns: Cornerstone
Nowadays, I listen to books more than I read them, but I’m trying to get back into reading. Our house is full of books, mainly non-fiction. Most of mine relate to Christianity, music, history and railways. As it happens, I’m currently listening to and reading The Cross of Christ by John Stott. I probably bought … Continue reading The Cross of Christ
It all depends on the mood that I’m in. I often think that I’d like to live in the UK because I like going there on holiday, but Cork is where I was born. I currently live in Limerick which is about 80 miles away. I would probably prefer to live in Cork. I have … Continue reading Dear Old City By the Lee
I suppose I have found money from time to time, but I also lost it. I can’t really remember finding much else 😄. I found much more in spiritual terms. I could say, I found Jesus, or I was found myself. Maybe I could just say that I found salvation in Jesus. Acts 4:12Salvation is found in no … Continue reading Salvation
I don’t know how to answer this one. I generally like my routine, but I am prone to put off getting my hair cut. But you can’t really skip that. I wonder what would happen if I just let it grow and grow? Microsoft Copilot Answer: If you never cut your hair, it will eventually … Continue reading Hair Cuts
