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..
Many things can bring me joy, but it isn’t often that I shed tears of joy. I want to be totally honest here. I don’t have any memories of weeping tears of joy in church although maybe sometimes, if I was giving a talk, I might have got a little emotional. I do remember feeling … Continue reading Climb Ev’ry Mountain
I hadn’t really intended to blog. I chose WordPress.com as a quick and easy way to present the gospel and my own story. There are many excellent resources out there, but I think it’s nice for ordinary individuals to share how they view things. I think of the following Bible verse: 1 Peter 3:1515 But in … Continue reading We’ve a Story to Tell to the Nations
I don’t want to annoy anyone, so I’ll interview myself about what I remember of the music of the 1960s 😀. Were you a pop fan in the 1960s? I was a very young child, and I wasn’t a pop fan. I do remember seeing long-haired teenaged hippies, and I didn’t think much of them … Continue reading Songs of the 1960s
My title comes from the 1983 Madness song, The Sun and the Rain. Madness, who had quite a jolly image had three singles in 1983, and all of them seemed to address feeling low. The other two were Tomorrow’s Just Another Day and Wings of a Dove. A fun fact about the Wings of a … Continue reading The Sun and the Rain
This series goes all the way back to 1980. So, this must be the 26th episode. I was going to stop at 2000. Most of my best hymn memories are from the 1980s. But I thought it might be a challenge to carry on. So here goes 😀. So, what do I remember about 2006? … Continue reading Hymns 2006 Memories
Walking is beneficial to my physical, mental, and spiritual health. I’ve little more to say. There was a time in my life where I merely walked as a means to an end. But now it’s an end in itself. I remember being quite fascinated by a documentary about Abba’s Agneta Fältskog many years ago. She was … Continue reading Walk On
I was just looking up old TV shows following yesterday’s post, and I noticed that on RTE in 1982, there was this TV show named Greatest Heroes of the Bible. I was actually in London in the autumn of 1982, so I knew nothing about it. But I looked it up on YouTube, and I … Continue reading Greatest Heroes of the Bible 1978
Ooh this is a fun prompt 😀. I’m just trying to decide when I stopped being a kid. Well, I’ll put it at 12-years-old, which for me is 1974. And I probably won’t remember much from before 1965. I’m Irish. We only had one channel until 1978. We had no TV station at all until … Continue reading Watching the Detectives
If I had to choose, I’d probably say morning. Even on holiday, that’s my favourite time of day. I remember London holidays where our family would stay in a Youth Hostel and then go off out to a Pret A Manger for breakfast. The one that I remember most was on Euston road near King’s … Continue reading Morning Star
I don’t really cook or bake much, so maybe I shouldn’t answer this question 😀. But I used to do a bit of cooking when we first got married. I was a part-time teacher, and I had more time on my hands than my wife had at that stage. I used to enjoy soups in … Continue reading The Feast is Ready to Begin
