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’m sure that many or most people who answer this question will point out that spirituality is quite a vague term, so maybe it depends on what is meant by the question. In 21st-Century Ireland and across the western world, an increasing number of people say that they are not religious but are spiritual. There’s … Continue reading It Depends
So how do I practice self-care? I realize it’s a wellness thing. To be of any use to others, you need to look out for yourself. It slightly brings to mind the 1977 Boomtown Rats hit, Looking After Number One. When it was released, I heard it on Irish radio, and I rightly predicted that … Continue reading Looking After Number One
That’s a very easy question for me to answer. I waste time when I ruminate on things I shouldn’t think about. I can’t say that I’ve managed to solve that problem, but there are ways to avoid it. I can focus on what I really do need to address. I can keep my mind busy. … Continue reading Worry
I was a very fussy eater as a young child. I didn’t like meat or vegetables. I do fondly remember desserts, particularly apple tart and red jelly and ice cream. In the US, I’m told that jelly is known as Jell-O. So perhaps I should say Jell-O and ice cream 😀. One of my early … Continue reading Jelly and Ice Cream
I could say Jesus, because he is a historical figure, but if I asked someone such a question, I’d learn little about them if I knew they were already Christians. I’d be more interested in who else they admire. And Jesus isn’t just another historical figure. He divides history into BC and AD. But let’s … Continue reading Patrick
In 1996, I remember being introduced to the Christianity Explained course. We used that for a few years for evangelistic studies. Later we moved onto Christianity Explored. Another popular one, which I never used was the Alpha course. For new Christians, we used to study a little booklet named Walk Worthy. Popular worship songs from … Continue reading Hymns: 1996 Memories
I never remember a time when I wasn’t attracted to pretty girls, but the first time that I remember an intense crush was when I went to a pantomime in Cork when I was nine years’ old. The star had been Ireland’s representative in the Eurovision song contest for that year, 1971. Her name was … Continue reading Angela Farrell
So where would I like to visit? I think I’d like to visit every country in the world. I can do that virtually on YouTube and Google Earth. I don’t imagine that I’ll ever be doing it physically. I live in Ireland, and I’ve often been to the UK, but I would like to go … Continue reading The Alps
What’s my favorite thing about me? I can wiggle my eyes 😀. I’ve only ever met one other person who could do that. I’m upset that I’ve never got the credit I deserved for doing it 🧐. There just doesn’t seem to be much of a demand for eye wigglers 😫, at least not in … Continue reading The Best Thing About Me
The retirement age in Ireland used to be 65. Recently, they pushed it up to 68 and thankfully brought it back down to 66 after much protest. I don’t know why Paul McCartney chose 64. The funny thing is, he’s now nearly 20 years older and he still hasn’t retired😀. I went to a Paul … Continue reading When I’m 64
