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..

I’ve spent the last few years reflecting on my life and attempting to note down all my memories, often with the help of what songs were popular at the time. I’ll list some significant events: Here are a couple of songs about the passing of time: And here are two time-related hymns:
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
I moved from Cork to Limerick around 40 years ago. But I haven’t got around to visiting King John’s castle yet. I did attend a Paul Weller concert in the grounds in July 2024. And I frequently observe the outside of the castle. But I haven’t gone into the visitor’s centre or explored the towers … Continue reading King John’s Castle
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
When I think of the word “leader”, I get mixed feelings. I’ve known plenty of bad leaders or mediocre leaders in addition to good ones. But I’m hugely thankful for the good ones, who are humble and seek to serve rather than arrogant empire builders, like the guy in one Simpsons episode 😂. Off the … Continue reading The Leader Is Good, The Leader Is Great!
When I created this site last year, a key page was Gospel in a Nutshell. I knew nothing about the Daily Prompt questions back then. Unlike my silly daily rants, it doesn’t get many views or likes. And it isn’t all that short. I had intended to make a more concise version, and at some … Continue reading My AI Gospel in a Nutshell
A concise way to answer this question is to quote from the Westminster Shorter Catechism: Q. What is the chief end of man?A. Man’s chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy Him forever. And this is obviously based on Scriptural teaching. Here’s what Microsoft Copilot listed when I asked it about what the … Continue reading My Chief End
I’ve been on WordPress.com for almost a year now. Let me take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy new year. Here are a few “new year” songs that I remember from my earlier years. Here in Ireland, New Year’s Day is nowhere near as good as Christmas, but it’s always nice to feel a … Continue reading Happy New Year
I got into pop music when I was 10, back in autumn 1972. I thought it might be fun to look back at the Christmas hits since then – at least songs that I can personally remember. My focus is on the UK charts because that’s what I’m most familiar with, though I’m Irish. 1970s … Continue reading Christmas Hits
I was born in 1962. It was quite a dull year apart from my entry into the world 😄. I don’t know much about 1962. I do remember suggesting to the Soviets that they place some missiles in Cuba, but it caused a bit of a crisis. And I remember suggesting that the Beatles release … Continue reading Wonderful Land
