Hymns: Majesty

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 … Continue reading Hymns: Majesty

I’d Buy a Goose

It depends on how much I won. Maybe I wouldn’t win enough for a goose 😀. Anyway, gambling is generally discouraged in all Christian traditions and probably in other religions too. So, I’d feel a bit strange buying a lottery ticket. A friend of mine, who’s an atheist, wouldn’t buy them either. He says that … Continue reading I’d Buy a Goose

The American Wake?

Sorry for the misleading title 😀. In Ireland, when a family member emigrated—often to the U.S.—the night before their departure was treated like a wake, because families believed they might never see them again. “A funeral wake is a gathering of family and friends to honour someone who has died, usually offering a more relaxed, … Continue reading The American Wake?

Hymns: It Is Well

You See My Friend, It All Depends

That’s somewhat similar to a question asked a couple of days ago, which I answered in my Fun Fun Fun post 😀. Perhaps it depends on the mood I’m in. It reminds me of an old song that I used to hear on my parents’ records. The first entry that I found on YouTube was … Continue reading You See My Friend, It All Depends

King John’s Castle

I moved from Cork to Limerick around 40 years ago. But I haven’t got around to visiting King John’s castle yet. I did attend a Paul Weller concert in the grounds in July 2024. And I frequently observe the outside of the castle. But I haven’t gone into the visitor’s centre or explored the towers … Continue reading King John’s Castle
