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 Ireland, doctors don’t do home visits anymore. They’ll happily stay away even if you don’t eat an apple a day 😀. But even if you do eat an apple a day, that doesn’t mean that you won’t need a doctor. So, what does the proverb mean? An apple a day is healthy. Most proverbs … Continue reading An Apple a Day Keeps the Doctor Away
I’ve been exploring some of the very modern worship songs as an old guy😀. 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 in-between hymns. … Continue reading Hymns: Blessing and Honour (Ancient of Days)
I first came across the term soulmate in a Simpsons episode with Johnny Cash. I wasn’t quite sure what it meant. Then, I heard it again, when I recalled the Soulmate song by Natasha Bedingfield from the summer of 2007. I tend to get nostalgic about the past. There was nothing particularly special about 2007 … Continue reading Soulmate for Everyone

I grew up here in Ireland listening to news about murders up in Ulster almost every day. Like most Irish people, I desperately wanted it to stop. From time to time you’d here about some peace initiative that might end it, but it just seemed to go on forever. The most memorable peace initiative in … Continue reading An End to Violent Conflicts
Personality-wise, I suppose I do, especially now that I’m in my sixties. But I don’t think that minimalism is necessarily advantageous in all cases. I wonder what shape the economy would be in if everyone was a minimalist. And what would the Beatles have been like if they kept everything simple? 😀 Spiritually, I admire … Continue reading Anything for a Quiet Life

I can’t really think of anything that doesn’t feel like real life. The closest thing might be the first time that I left Ireland and went to London back in June 1981 to see Bob Dylan in Earls Court. It wasn’t just the concert. I’d grown up hearing from relatives about London and watching British … Continue reading London

It’s rainy in Limerick, Ireland today, so I’ll stay indoors 😀. Somewhere close by that I used to like walking around was the Adare Manor estate. It isn’t as easy to walk around the estate nowadays unless you’re a guest at the hotel. They’ll be holding the Ryder cup at the golf course next year. … Continue reading Adare
