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 began this series with my Hymns: 1980 Memories post, so this is the 39th in the series 😀. My main memory of 2019 was a little autumn holiday in Dublin with a day in Belfast. We hadn’t been to Belfast since 1998. For whatever reason, I’m very nostalgic about that little 2019 holiday. Belfast … Continue reading Hymns: 2019 Memories
From my recollection, during holidays, we either eat out or cook something very simple at home. I’ve nothing more to say really, at least nothing directly related to today’s prompt. Here’s a pic we took in the Lake District, UK, in our 2003 holiday. It might be Ambleside or somewhere close. Happy days 😀. We … Continue reading Nothing Special
In this series, I survey some of the very modern worship songs as an old guy 😀. I try to be positive. Not everyone is positive about modern hymns. “So many hymns today (if “hymns” they deserve to be called) are full of maudlin sentimentality, instead of Divine adoration. They announce our love to God … Continue reading Hymns: Great Are You Lord
In this series, I explore some of the very modern worship songs from the perspective of someone who was introduced to worship songs back in 1980. Of course, even before then, I was acquainted with hymns. But in Ireland, many new songs were sung in the charismatic and Pentecostal movements in the late 1970s. As … Continue reading Hymns: Gratitude
I want to be honest with my replies. I just can’t imagine not needing to rest and relax for part of the day. I’m old enough to remember the introduction of Mars Bars to Ireland. The slogan was:A Mars a day helps you work, rest and play. Work Rest and Play was also the title … Continue reading Work Rest and Play
In this series, I take a look at some modern worship songs as an old guy 😀. I try not to be critical. My purpose really is to familiarize myself with them. Writing about them helps me to do just that. Hymns have always been a key part of my life, along with secular music. … Continue reading Hymns: Good Good Father
Generally speaking, I try not to have peeves. People can irritate me, but I probably don’t spend much time with people apart from family. And when you live in a house together, it’s best to avoid getting irritated. I couldn’t think of any pet peeves. I asked Microsoft Copilot to list some common ones to … Continue reading Who Has My Mariokart?
In this series, I explore some modern worship songs from the point of view of an older person, who has a great love for all things old. But I don’t want to end up a grumpy old man – at least no grumpier than I’ve been all my life. I’ll try to be positive 😁. … Continue reading Hymns: Firm Foundation
I won’t mention family or friends. I’ll mention those who I might listen to on YouTube, Audible, or podcasts. I’ll begin with a few secular folk, and then I’ll move on to some Christian teachers: Someone said, “Whoever is tired of London is tired of life”. I never tire of London, even when I tire … Continue reading Here’s My Top 10
In this series, I (as an old guy 😀) take a look at some modern worship songs. I’m desperately trying to settle down in the 21st Century – unless some kind person can tell me how I can travel back in time.😀 The first thing that I notice about today’s 2018 song is a riff … Continue reading Hymns: Who You Say I Am
