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
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!

I didn’t think of it as any kind of a Christian song, and I found it irritating, but … Continue reading Hymns: 1986 Memories

As I mention elsewhere, I grew up a Roman Catholic in Cork, Ireland. I don’t remember a lot before my … Continue reading Conversion Chronology
I date my conversion to Sunday August 17th, 1980, about a month after I bought Saved, by Bob Dylan, in Pat Egan’s record store in Patrick Street Cork.
