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 was trying to think of a song on the theme of work. I’m sure they are lots, but The Beatles came to mind: It’s been a hard day’s night,And I’ve been working like a dog,It’s been a hard day’s night,I should be sleeping like a log. I don’t know why they say working like … Continue reading Working Like a Dog
So, do I practice religion? It’s an interesting question. I’m an Irish evangelical Christian, and this is an evangelistic blog. But most Irish evangelicals that I know balk at the word religion. Maybe they associate religion with trying to get to heaven by being a member of a particular church or sect or by practicing … Continue reading Gimme That Old Time Religion
So, do I remember life before the Internet? Yeah, sure! In fact, we lose connectivity a couple of times a year. And someone will say “The Internet is off”, so that brings it all back 😀. My youth and early adult life were spent without computers and the Internet. I’m quite nostalgic about all that, but I’m … Continue reading The Internet Is Off
So, what am I good at? At various points of my life I believed that I was particularily good at something or other, but good is a relative term. There’s always plenty of people better than me. I was very proud, as a child, when I taught myself to play keyboards, but I’m no Rick … Continue reading I Am So Ordinary
When I think of having it all, I can think in earthly terms or in heavenly terms. And in earthly terms, there’s the real world and the dream world. When I was young, I focused more on the dream world. I come from a nice family, and I appreciated that, but it all seemed quite … Continue reading You Can Have It All!
So who would I most like to talk to soon? The three biggest things in my life are Family, Music and Christianity. I look forward to meeting my daughters who have grown up and moved to new locations. It’s always a joy to see them. And those in my family who have passed away, such … Continue reading Can We Talk?
My iPad was very precious to me, but now it spontaneously shuts down every minute. I will eventually buy a new one 😀. Perhaps we’re speaking of items that are of sentimental value and that are impossible to replace. They’re quite a lot of these in my house. I think the oldest item is a … Continue reading Precious Possessions: Finnegan
So, we get to 1992. A key memory of that year was the 1992 Baptist Youth Evangelism (BYE) Team, my last time leading a team in Cork. As usual, we spent the week spreading the gospel in the streets. On our day off, we went to the Old Head of Kinsale. 1992 was also the … Continue reading Hymns: 1992 Memories
When I think of collections, I think of the slogan for Pokémon back around 1999, when my kids were young – the notion of obsessively collecting them all:Gotta Catch ‘Em All! As a child, I remember collecting soccer cards, coins and stamps. Then of course, I could say that I have book collections, CD and … Continue reading Gotta Catch ‘Em All!
So, what legacy would I want to leave behind? That’s an interesting question. When I was young, I dreamt of being famous or important. Maybe it would be easier to answer the question if my dreams had come true 😀. But I’m just an ordinary guy. I was listening to a podcast some time ago, … Continue reading Only One Life
