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..
When I was a child back in the 1960s, cowboys and indians were a big thing in terms of movies and games. We all had cowboy suits. The cowboys were seen as the goodies and the Indians the baddies. Of course, things have changed nowadays. We’ll all much more sympathetic to the native Americans. I … Continue reading Cowboys and Indians
I’m not rich, but currently, I don’t need a lot of money. I do long for more musical instruments, but maybe I should just improve my skills with the instruments that I already have 😀. What’s meant by an unlimited budget? Is it an infinite amount of money? Surely the sensible thing to do would … Continue reading Give it Away
I must confess, I like happy endings. Pride and Prejudice from 1995 ended with a double wedding. In fact, I’ve watched a few series and movies based on Jane Austin novels, and they all end with weddings😀. What’s funny is that there’s nothing particularly perfect about couples who are already married. An example is Lizzie … Continue reading Pride and Prejudice
I remember buying a few books on philosophy when I was 17. They were interesting, but I wasn’t overwhelmingly convinced by any of the famous philosophers. I remember watching a BBC show in later years, in 1995, called Sophie’s World. I read the book too. It was fun fiction which integrated a range of famous … Continue reading Augustine of Hippo
Firstly, I’ve always been a fan of rock music. In my younger days, I used to dream of being a rockstar. But whenever I read rock autobiographies, fear and self-doubt almost always feature, even in people who appear very confident. I think that fear and self doubt often have much more to do with how … Continue reading For Dummies Books
I don’t think that I ever questioned reality, but I have been in situations, both good and bad, where I’ve said “I can’t believe it”. It’s a nice sunny day here in Ireland, so I’ll mention a happy moment. I failed my driving test first time and wondered if I’d ever pass. Surely, I’d do … Continue reading Passing my Driving Test
I’m not sure if I expected to hate Sense and Sensibility, but I initially had little interest in seeing it. And maybe the same could be said for other movies or TV series based on 18th or 19th century novels. Yet, we’ve watched it many times, and I never get bored with it. I just … Continue reading Sense and Sensibility
I think of a joke where someone arrived in heaven and found everyone dancing the Hokey Cokey. The person asked why everyone was doing the Hokey Cokey. The reply was, “that’s what it’s all about” 😀. Anyway, seriously, I like to answer daily prompts “off the top of my head” – if you’re not familiar … Continue reading The Hokey Cokey – That’s What It’s All About
I used to be quite left wing in my political thinking. In fact, back when I was 18, I saw myself as a Trotskyite communist. But I had no love for any communist regime that ever existed. We thought that if Stalin hadn’t edged Trotsky out, the Soviet Union and the whole world might have … Continue reading Far Right
I’m not big into road trips, and I do little planning. I’ve only driven in Ireland and in the UK. In Ireland, I can think of four road trips that I’ve done repeatedly. I’m not sure if I’d use the word “perfect” though. You often need to drive through dull areas to reach the nice … Continue reading Highway to Heaven
