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..
Firstly, sorry for my awful title 😀. That’s a punk song from 1978. Sham 69 released it as a plea for fans to stop fighting during concerts. But it’s nothing to do with young kids. And it’s nothing to do with baby goats either. I assume the prompt relates to children rather than baby goats. … Continue reading If the Kids Are United
World Peace I pray for a different country every day, alphabetically. I should really follow the sequence of Operation World, but I started at “A” earlier this year, so today it’s Jordan for me. I met an Irish lady a few years ago who lived there and attended a nice evangelical church. Things seem to … Continue reading Peace, Time Travel, Animals in Heaven
This brings to mind the Undertones song, My Perfect Cousin from April 1980. I heard the song before it was released. They played it in their concert in the Arcadia in Cork on February 2nd, 1980. They were great. I still see it as my favourite live concert ever. They came from Derry if you’re … Continue reading My Perfect Cousin
Sorry for the boring answer, but walking is my favorite form of physical exercise. I have tried broader home exercises, but I tend to get bored and lose motivation. But it helps if I integrate it with listening to music. I do have an exercise bike, and I also enjoy exercising in virtual reality (VR). … Continue reading Dance into the Light
I don’t think that I’d want to go to the moon. We all love the moon, but I like viewing it from the earth. It might be a little boring to be on it. And I’m so used to breathing air that I’d feel strange without it 🙂. I would happily pay to send others … Continue reading Fly Me to the Moon
I didn’t really ever want to be a lumberjack. I like to start my posts with something silly. Then people will say “I thought he was silly, but he’s quite actually sensible”. But maybe they’ll say “I thought he was silly, but he’s even sillier than I thought.” 🙂 Seriously, I dreamt of being a … Continue reading Lumberjack
Proverbs 12:22 “The Lord detests lying lips, but he delights in people who are trustworthy.” Given that the Lord detests lying lips, I’d better be truthful today and tell you that I don’t really cook much, so I can’t really say that I have a specialty. Yet I do put bread in the toaster every … Continue reading Keep the Feast
Before I begin, I should mention the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. I was only a baby at the time, but throughout the 1960s, it loomed very large in Ireland. The Irish considered him one of their own. He had visited Cork in 1963. Many of the events below relate to conflicts. Because this … Continue reading 21 Memorable Events
I’m not the sort of person that enjoys flirting with disaster, and I’m certainly not in the mood for risks these days. However, maybe, part of the benefit of the daily prompt is to provoke us to think outside the box. Sometimes even little things can feel like big risks to me. For example, if … Continue reading Flirtin’ With Disaster
I don’t know if it’s the same in every culture, but In Ireland, we tend to laugh at people who think they’re great. I remember the John Lennon song I’m the Greatest, which he wrote for Ringo’s 1973 album. It was funny because people don’t usually talk about how great they are 🙂. Muhammad Ali … Continue reading I’m The Greatest
