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’s very hard to choose a favourite animal. It depends on the context. For pets, I liked both cats and dogs as a child. If I’m visiting a zoo, perhaps lions, tigers, elephants, rhinos, hippos, orangutans and giraffes are the most memorable. But the more I think about it, the more difficult it is to … Continue reading Pandas
In this series, I explore some of the newer Christian worship songs. I ignored new songs for most of the last 30 years. About 10 years ago I started catching up with some of the 1990s songs. Now, I’m trying to get to know the songs of the 21st Century. I don’t want to live … Continue reading Hymns: See a Victory
I’m not really one for climbing mountains, but I like being surrounded by mountains. And I’m not the sort of person who’d want to lie on the beach all day, but I do enjoy walking along beaches. It’s a long time since I swam. One of my favourite holiday spots is County Kerry, Ireland, which … Continue reading Kerry Mountains
I began this series with my Hymns: 1980 Memories post, so this is the 38th in the series 😀. I think of 2018 as quite a dull year. I felt that way about some years in my earlier life, but I eventually grew to like them more. Perhaps your early years always seem more magical … Continue reading Hymns: 2018 Memories
Eeek! Today’s prompt doesn’t really suit me, but I’ll answer it anyway – so as not to break the daily habit 😃. There’s no consensus in my family about favourite meals. But some of us are keen on foreign dishes, such as the following (let’s say the top three are our favourites): I don’t know … Continue reading Foreign Dishes
In this series, I take a look at some of the very modern worship songs, as a fan of the older hymns. I try not to criticize them. You can always find good things in them. The one thing that I found odd about today’s hymn is the word “reckless”. It reminds me of Wreckless … Continue reading Hymns: Reckless Love
I could say Jesus, because he is a historical figure, but I’ve already met him in spiritual terms. God is omnipresent and at times He makes his presence felt, particularly when we draw close to him. In heaven, I’ll be much more aware of his presence. When I think of Jesus, if I met him, … Continue reading Paul and Patrick
In this series, I take a brief glance at some very modern worship songs. I have a deep love for Christian history and the older hymns. I also enjoy looking back at the contemporary hymns that spanned my own Christian life. I’ve been a Christian for 45 years now – and a nominal Christian for … Continue reading Hymns: Raise A Hallelujah
In this series, I take a brief look at some of the very modern worship songs. I regret that the older hymns aren’t sung much anymore in modern evangelical churches. Yet, we do have access to them all on YouTube and Spotify. And maybe they’ll come back again at some stage. But I like to … Continue reading Hymns: Build My Life
I think that we all trust our instincts, gut feelings or intuition to some degree. Life is much easier if we don’t need to constantly think through everything thoroughly and rationally. But I don’t like to rely too much on my instincts because they can be wrong. For example, I have been wrong about people. … Continue reading Yes and No
