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..
This morning I was reading Psalm 108, and I looked up YouTube to see if I could find hymns on the psalm. I was surprised to find a blues song. And pretty soon, I found a whole lot more. It started me thinking of how gospel music can be found in so many different music … Continue reading Singing the Blues
I’m pretty much retired now. So, I don’t have the workin’ man blues, but I do miss work, and I don’t rule out going back to employment again. I’ve always enjoyed learning, but it’s nice to spend some time every day producing something, even if it’s something very simple 😀. I started this site/blog earlier … Continue reading Workin’ Man Blues
I’m trying to think of a song about secrets. My mind has been on 1975 this week, so it turns to The Secrets That You Keep by Mud. Who knows that I go all the way back to 1975? It’s actually a good bit further than that 😀. Well, most people in the world don’t … Continue reading The Secrets That You Keep
Band on the Run by Wings was released in 1973. I borrowed the album in Spring 1975, and I bought it secondhand later that year. It was one of several albums that I bought in 1975, and I still enjoy listening to it. I bought two Beatles albums in 1975, Revolver and Sgt Pepper. At … Continue reading 1975: Music Memories
In truth, I hardly ever feel completely happy about lazy days. I like to be doing something useful, even if it relates to leisure activities. Yet, it’s nice to rest too. We were made to work, rest and play. 1966 must have been a lazy year because it provided the two best songs about laziness … Continue reading Lazy Day
I began this series with my Hymns: 1980 Memories post, so this is the 33rd in the series 😀. My mother used to say, “youth is wasted on the young.” I can see what she means nowadays. I spent much of 2013 being stressed out at work, but I do have some pleasant memories. Worship … Continue reading Hymns: 2013 Memories
Well, in this blog I tend to talk about music and Christianity. I could think about family members, but I don’t like putting too much personal information out there. “Do unto others as you’d have them do to you”. I wouldn’t be keen on people talking about me on the web or on social media … Continue reading Bono
I remember back in 1972, I had a compilation album that included a song by Timmy Thomas called Why Can’t We Live Together. I thought that it was about some guy wanting to live in sin with his girlfriend 😀, but no. It’s more of a plea for people to live in peace and harmony … Continue reading Love Train 🚂
I’m trying to think of something that really would be the first time. Most things that I want to try are things that I’ve already touched on to some degree. But what would be totally new? More to the point, is there anything that I would like to do that would be totally new? Surely, … Continue reading New Beginning
Much of the content on my blog speaks of how evangelical Christian doctrines differ from Roman Catholic doctrines. But in broader ethical principles, there’s little difference. So, the principles that I live by now are very much shaped by my Roman Catholic upbringing. And I would think that most people in the world that aim … Continue reading All You Need is Love
