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 glance of some of the more recent worship songs. Because I’m in my sixties, it would be all too easy to criticize these, but my experience of music is that if you give something time, and let go of your prejudices, you can develop a taste for music. … Continue reading Hymns: The Battle Belongs
My title comes from I Love My Dog by Cat Stevens. I don’t understand why a cat would love a dog 😃. But the song emphasizes how the love of a dog is unconditional: So, I love my dog as much as I love youBut you may fade, my dog will always come through I … Continue reading I Love My Dog
1978 was my punk/new wave year. I was 16. I did buy Rolled Gold by the Rolling Stones, a double greatest hits album, and a 12″ single by the Motors – Airport, which was quite poppy, but apart from that, nearly everything else that I bought was punk/new wave. I probably did buy some secondhand … Continue reading 1978: Music Memories
In this series, I briefly look at some very new worship songs. I’ve only become familiar with these over the last few years. Before that, for me, “modern” meant anytime between the 1970s and 1990s 😃. I do cherish the older hymns, such as those written by Charles Wesley, but I try to maintain an … Continue reading Hymns: King of Kings
The highest price that I ever paid for a leisure-related item is around 1900 euro for a computer a few years ago. People can pay much more for high-end computers, but I generally buy computers with reasonable good specs at a reasonable price. For many years these were around 1000 euro, but prices went up … Continue reading Computer
In this series, I take a brief look at some very modern worship songs as an old guy who should really be 18 and living in 1980, but I find myself here in 2025. I blame those guys on the Starship Enterprise 😃. But now that I’m here, I’ll need to adjust. Today’s Hymn is … Continue reading Hymns: The Blessing
Currently, I listen to podcasts sporadically. I am intending to get into The Rest is History. But the best way that I can answer today’s question is to mention a podcast that I listened to for many years – Unbelievable. It began around 2007. It began as a radio show on Premier Radio, which featured … Continue reading Unbelievable
In this series, I take a brief look at very modern worship songs. My preferred hymns are generally the old ones or the new choruses that I remember from my early years as a new believer, back in the 1980’s. I’ve only recently become familiar with 21st Century songs. I like to be positive, but … Continue reading Hymns: Graves into Gardens
I’d like to say physics and chemistry but I wasn’t necessarily into these much before third-level. Let me think – here’s a list of subjects that we did in primary school in order of preference: Then, in secondary school: Arts and Crafts and technical drawing were easy subjects. I appreciated religion because it related to … Continue reading Arts and Crafts
I began this series with my Hymns: 1980 Memories post, so this is the 36th in the series 😀. I’m getting old. 2016 began with the death of David Bowie and ended with the death of George Michael. It was a bit of a shock to hear of these deaths, but even back in 1977, … Continue reading Hymns: 2016 Memories
