Hymns: Ainโ€™t No Grave

I’ve been exploring some of the very modern worship songs as an old guy ๐Ÿ˜€. But now, I’ve decided to alternate between very modern hymns, old hymns, and in-between hymns, namely the worship songs from the 60s to the 90s that feature in hymnbooks such as Mission Praise. Today it’s the turn of the very … Continue reading Hymns: Ainโ€™t No Grave

Everything is Broken

When I was growing up, we had a community centre in my parish. At that time, in Roman Catholic Ireland, most community activities were connected to the church in one way or another. Three things have changed since. Firstly, I became an evangelical Christian when I was 18. I started to see my evangelical church … Continue reading Everything is Broken

Didn’t Need to Do Much Adapting

This seems like an outdated question, but perhaps the changes are still having an impact. What comes to mind mainly is working from home. But I had already been working from home since 2010. I do remember church services stopping, so I watched online, and I was quite happy to do that. I’m not much … Continue reading Didn’t Need to Do Much Adapting

Good Morning Good Morning

I discovered Good Morning by the Beatles when I purchased Sgt. Pepper in late 1975. So that’s my title for today ๐Ÿ˜€. Back then, 1967 seemed a lifetime away. I was only 5 in 1967. But it was just 8 years back – like 2018 is now 8 years back. Anyway, what’s all this got … Continue reading Good Morning Good Morning

Thinking for Ourselves

Well, in a sense, we’re all unique. What comes to mind is someone who is part of a “tribe” but who doesn’t just blindly follow those around him. They think for themselves, which makes them unique. When I was a teenager, punk rock was big. So many groups just wanted to be punks and jump … Continue reading Thinking for Ourselves
