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..
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?
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. So, every three days, I explore a … Continue reading Hymns: It Is Well
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
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. So, todays song is Be Exalted or … Continue reading Hymns: Be Exalted
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
Ah fun! I like fun. I think it’s fun. And fun is what I need in January, my least favourite month – or is it February? Roll on March and Easter sunshine 😀. I’ll just write off the top of my head. I’ll choose a few random fun activities. Spiritual activities are generally fun for … Continue reading Fun, Fun, Fun
I’ve been exploring some of the very modern worship songs as an old guy 😀. Today, I thought that it might be good to alternate between old hymns, late 20th Century hymns, and 21st Century worship songs. Hopefully, I’ll never run out of hymns. And we won’t run out of them in heaven either, or … Continue reading Hymns: Crown Him With Many Crowns
This is a tough one. I don’t have any pets, but I did have them as a child. I think I’d prefer it if they could make me understand something – such as if they’re in need of a vet or if they’d like to go for a walk etc., but they do have ways … Continue reading If I Could Talk to the Animals
In this series, I explore some of the very modern worship songs as an old guy 😀. Anyway, today’s hymn is Worthy is the Lamb. It’s from 2001. Interesting to see that this video has 21M views. That’s more than my posts get 😢. I’ll have to try to catch up 😀. Anyway, let’s get … Continue reading Hymns: Worthy Is The Lamb
In this series, I explore some of the very modern worship songs as an old guy 😀. Anyway, today’s hymn is No Longer Slaves. It’s from 2015. Sometimes, you can tell what a song is about simply by the title. Not so with this one. I needed to explore the lyrics. I was curious about … Continue reading Hymns: No Longer Slaves
