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..
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
My favourite month is December. I just always like the run up to Christmas. I don’t like January and February much. March is a little better because we might start to get sunshine 😀. April and May are just OK. June can be nice. July and August are sometimes a bit humid or even rainy … Continue reading December
In this series, I take a brief glance at some of the modern hymns, as an old guy. 😀. Knowing so many wonderful old hymns, it would be easy for me to be critical, but I try not to be. Today’s hymn has a strange word in brackets in the title – Anástasis. What does … Continue reading Hymns: O Praise The Name (Anástasis)
In this little series, I take a glance at some of the very modern worship songs. I’m only getting familiar with these in the last few years. I remember back in the 1990s, I started growing tired of the newer songs and focusing on the old hymns. But nowadays, I like all Christian music. This … Continue reading Hymns: 10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord)
I like the University of Limerick and the surrounding area. It’s about three miles from the city centre. I first visited in 1983 for my entrance exams into Thomond College of Education (now merged with University of Limerick). I spent three years there, graduating in 1986. I was also involved in the Christian Union (CU) … Continue reading University of Limerick
In 1979 I was 16 going on 17, innocent as a rose 😄. I kept a little diary in 1979 and in 1980. It was just for listing what happened each day. I’m very glad that I did, and I’m sorry that I didn’t do that every year. My typical experience is starting one in … Continue reading 1979: Music Memories
In this series, I take a brief glance at some of the very modern worship songs. I spent many years ignoring these. Back around 2017, I started familiarizing myself with some new songs – but these were songs from the 1990s. I’m finally catching up with the 21st Century songs 😄. How Great is Our … Continue reading Hymns: How Great is Our God
Today’s prompt reminds me of a 1975 hit, First Impressions, by the Impressions. I wasn’t really into soul music back then, but it’s not a bad song. I love to dig up all the old songs that I heard but didn’t really focus on in my youth. And here’s one that I have never heard … Continue reading First Impressions
In this series, I take a brief glance at some of the very modern worship songs, which I’m trying to develop a taste for. I used to hate them, then I put up with them, but now I’m starting to like them more. I still don’t like them as much as I like the old … Continue reading Hymns: Cornerstone
