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 don’t think that I can find any period that stands out as being particularly harder than any other era. I had a few difficult days or weeks, but extreme trouble never went on too long thankfully. But in general life, in any given week, school, university or work was the hard bit. I’d look … Continue reading In This World, You Will Have Trouble
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
I generally like happy endings. Some books/movies had endings that shocked or disappointed me. Examples include Middlemarch, Gone with the Wind, War and Peace, and Doctor Zhivago. But perhaps always wanting a happy ending wouldn’t mirror real life. But I have enough experience of real life 😀. For fantasy, I’d prefer to tweak the closing … Continue reading Alice in Wonderland
Let me think 😀 – I’d like to go way back to the 1960s and experience my first group of movies. Mary Poppins was the first one, with Batman soon after. Back then we had black and white TV, so it was great seeing all the Batman characters in colour. I remember seeing James Bond’s … Continue reading Chariots of Fire
A song that comes to mind is Wings of a Dove by Madness, from the summer of 1983. This is a Christian blog, so I could say hymns – any hymn, when I deeply reflect on it. But secular songs can put me in a good mood too. Most older songs bring me back in … Continue reading Wings of a Dove – Madness
I use WordPress.com as a quick and easy way to create an evangelistic website. I discovered the Daily Prompt last year. I tried it, and now it’s part of my regular routine. I’m addicted 😀. It’s fun to hear from people from all over the world and to think that some of you might read … Continue reading He Must Increase, I Must Decrease
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!
