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..

It isn’t easy to decide what’s best. I’ve certainly enjoyed some more than others, but that might relate to my mood or expectations at the time. Anyway, I’ll list a few: Horslips, Cork City Hall, December 1975 This was my first rock concert. I was only 13 at the time. I was aware of some … Continue reading My Top Ten
I like to answer these questions “off the top of my head” rather than spend hours trying to think of an answer. I’d like to make all sorts of changes if I were to live my life over again. But wisdom often comes with age, and when you’re young, maybe you’re not always wise. I’d … Continue reading Evangelism
I never saw much point in tattoos. I do remember bubble gum as a kid, where you’d get this piece of paper that you licked and placed on your arm, and it left a temporary tattoo. It might have been called Clown chewing gum, but that was way back in the 1960s. It’s just a … Continue reading Keep Praying
Almost all the pictures on Saint Patrick’s Day on Pexels.com involved drink. I’m pleased to find one that didn’t. It’s not that I’m against alcohol, but I don’t approve of drunkenness. And I’d be much happier if more Irish people were like Patrick himself. Throughout my life, the Irish were often seen as being a … Continue reading Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!
Let me think. I could write “It was the best of times, it was the “blurst” of times”. But maybe Charles Dickens would sue me – or the monkeys from the Simpsons. I’d probably want to write about my physical background and my spiritual background. So, I’d write about my Cork background and maybe even … Continue reading I Was Born Twice
I assume that this question relates to things that I’d be sorry to lose rather than something that would literally cause your death, such as losing access to essential medication. So, I choose the Bible, something that allows me to access the Web, and a musical instrument. I don’t absolutely need these. I have enough … Continue reading Bible, Web, Musical Instrument
I’ve always been uneasy about patriotism. Growing up in Ireland, I resented Irish culture being imposed on me and those who tended to express hatred to anyone who was in any way positive towards British people. They used to call them “West Brits”. And I had no love for anyone who sympathized with republican terrorists. … Continue reading Sort Of
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
