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..
I began this series with my Hymns: 1980 Memories post, so this is the 33rd in the series 😀. My mother used to say, “youth is wasted on the young.” I can see what she means nowadays. I spent much of 2013 being stressed out at work, but I do have some pleasant memories. Worship … Continue reading Hymns: 2013 Memories
Well, in this blog I tend to talk about music and Christianity. I could think about family members, but I don’t like putting too much personal information out there. “Do unto others as you’d have them do to you”. I wouldn’t be keen on people talking about me on the web or on social media … Continue reading Bono
I remember back in 1972, I had a compilation album that included a song by Timmy Thomas called Why Can’t We Live Together. I thought that it was about some guy wanting to live in sin with his girlfriend 😀, but no. It’s more of a plea for people to live in peace and harmony … Continue reading Love Train 🚂
I’m trying to think of something that really would be the first time. Most things that I want to try are things that I’ve already touched on to some degree. But what would be totally new? More to the point, is there anything that I would like to do that would be totally new? Surely, … Continue reading New Beginning
Much of the content on my blog speaks of how evangelical Christian doctrines differ from Roman Catholic doctrines. But in broader ethical principles, there’s little difference. So, the principles that I live by now are very much shaped by my Roman Catholic upbringing. And I would think that most people in the world that aim … Continue reading All You Need is Love
I can’t think of any example of something major that I’m putting off. I could think of lots of little things, such as reading all the books on my bookshelf and attic that I have yet to read. And there are many that I’ve already read that I’d like to read again. And there are … Continue reading OK, OK – I’ll Definitely Do it Sometime Soon 😠
That’s an interesting question. I was 7, going on 8, when we entered the 1970s. I remember crying in 1970 because I wanted to go and see Bozo the Clown in person at the Palace cinema in Cork. You wouldn’t really do that as an adult would you? I did end up going, thankfully 😀. … Continue reading Once I Was 7 Years Old
In 1974, I became more familiar with Paul McCartney’s music. I particularly liked the singles from Band on the Run; Jet, and Band on the Run itself. And in the autumn, I purchased my first Beatles album, the Red Album – 1962-1966. Up to that time, the only Beatles song that I knew was Yellow … Continue reading 1974: Music Memories
If I had a million dollars to give away, I would think first of people around the world who are experiencing famine and starvation. I would probably want to do a bit of research. I am aware that some regions are ruled by terrorists who steal the aid given and use it for weapons, terrorist … Continue reading Tearfund
I began this series with my Hymns: 1980 Memories post, so this is the 32nd in the series 😀. At some stage in the 21st Century, I started to feel as though someone teleported me into the future and that my time is the 20th Century. But maybe that happens everyone as they age. So, … Continue reading Hymns: 2012 Memories
