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..
As I write, I’m listening to BBC Radio 2. I particularly like hearing songs that I mightn’t have liked much at the time, but that transport me back to my earlier years. Maybe they played on the radio without me even being conscious that I was listening to them. I can remember this happening twice … Continue reading Mainly Music
Someone once said that some people bring joy wherever they go and others bring joy whenever they go 😀. But I think that all relationships have had a positive impact on me, from God to family, to friends and acquaintances. I probably wouldn’t form any kind of relationship with a really nasty person. But sometimes, … Continue reading I’ve Found a Friend
I have been reviewing some modern worship songs, but I’ve taken a break to explore some Advent and Christmas hymns. 😀. Just when you think Christmas is over, you remind yourself that December 25th is the first of the 12 days of Christmas. So, I’ll wait until January 7th to go back to normal hymns. … Continue reading Christmas Hymns: It Came Upon the Midnight Clear
I’m, afraid that if I ignore silly questions, I’ll break the habit of answering the daily prompt. So, I’ll answer this one 😀. Perhaps I would make them yellow and purple. I don’t think that there’s any likelihood of me starting a sports team, so I haven’t ever given it much thought. I’m more into … Continue reading Perhaps Yellow and Purple

In my late teens, I was more left wing. In fact, I was big into Leon Trotsky. I wondered if I could somehow mingle Christianity with communism. I’m sort of in the middle now, perhaps slightly tending to the right. All the rock music stars that I liked, such as Paul Weller and Elvis Costello … Continue reading Left -> Right

We watched Fellowship of the Ring again in my house over Christmas, I thought that I’d love to have a little hobbit house. I can’t imagine myself being all that fussy about the specifics.
I have an affection for the old cars that I’d see in Ireland back in the 1960s and 70s. All of them lift my spirits when I see them. If I had to choose, it would probably be the Volkswagen Beetle. It has an interesting history: Back in the 60s, as a child, I used … Continue reading Volkswagen Beetle
