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..
In this series, I explore some of the very modern worship songs from the perspective of someone who was introduced to worship songs back in 1980. Of course, even before then, I was acquainted with hymns. But in Ireland, many new songs were sung in the charismatic and Pentecostal movements in the late 1970s. As … Continue reading Hymns: Gratitude
I want to be honest with my replies. I just can’t imagine not needing to rest and relax for part of the day. I’m old enough to remember the introduction of Mars Bars to Ireland. The slogan was:A Mars a day helps you work, rest and play. Work Rest and Play was also the title … Continue reading Work Rest and Play
In this series, I take a look at some modern worship songs as an old guy 😀. I try not to be critical. My purpose really is to familiarize myself with them. Writing about them helps me to do just that. Hymns have always been a key part of my life, along with secular music. … Continue reading Hymns: Good Good Father
Generally speaking, I try not to have peeves. People can irritate me, but I probably don’t spend much time with people apart from family. And when you live in a house together, it’s best to avoid getting irritated. I couldn’t think of any pet peeves. I asked Microsoft Copilot to list some common ones to … Continue reading Who Has My Mariokart?
In this series, I explore some modern worship songs from the point of view of an older person, who has a great love for all things old. But I don’t want to end up a grumpy old man – at least no grumpier than I’ve been all my life. I’ll try to be positive 😁. … Continue reading Hymns: Firm Foundation
I won’t mention family or friends. I’ll mention those who I might listen to on YouTube, Audible, or podcasts. I’ll begin with a few secular folk, and then I’ll move on to some Christian teachers: Someone said, “Whoever is tired of London is tired of life”. I never tire of London, even when I tire … Continue reading Here’s My Top 10
In this series, I (as an old guy 😀) take a look at some modern worship songs. I’m desperately trying to settle down in the 21st Century – unless some kind person can tell me how I can travel back in time.😀 The first thing that I notice about today’s 2018 song is a riff … Continue reading Hymns: Who You Say I Am
It’s very hard to choose a favourite animal. It depends on the context. For pets, I liked both cats and dogs as a child. If I’m visiting a zoo, perhaps lions, tigers, elephants, rhinos, hippos, orangutans and giraffes are the most memorable. But the more I think about it, the more difficult it is to … Continue reading Pandas
In this series, I explore some of the newer Christian worship songs. I ignored new songs for most of the last 30 years. About 10 years ago I started catching up with some of the 1990s songs. Now, I’m trying to get to know the songs of the 21st Century. I don’t want to live … Continue reading Hymns: See a Victory
I’m not really one for climbing mountains, but I like being surrounded by mountains. And I’m not the sort of person who’d want to lie on the beach all day, but I do enjoy walking along beaches. It’s a long time since I swam. One of my favourite holiday spots is County Kerry, Ireland, which … Continue reading Kerry Mountains
