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 can think of numerous scary situations where I surprised myself. Public speaking is one example. I was in a car crash some years ago, and I couldn’t understand why I was so calm. Thankfully, none of us were seriously injured, but it was the sort of situation where we could have been. It’s almost … Continue reading I Am Weak But Thou Art Strong
Music has always been a tremendous source of joy for me, both playing and listening. And I love both spiritual and secular music. And I’m also a big fan of music-related magazines and newspapers and biographies and autobiographies. And now that I’m getting old, music brings back the earlier years of my life. Back in … Continue reading Music Music Music
Firstly, though this is a Christian blog, this movie isn’t a spiritual movie, though you’ll probably find spiritual references if you look hard enough. “Beat the devil” is just an expression. In the contest of the movie, it probably means morally compromised characters outwitting other morally compromised characters. It’s a 1950s Humphrey Bogart comedy. I … Continue reading Beat the Devil
I’m pretty much retired now. I still like learning, but I only learn things that I’m already interested in, and if I grow tired of it, I stop and move on to something else 😀. Earlier in life, at times, I needed to learn about things that I wasn’t particularly interested in. Or, even if … Continue reading Terror 😱
A couple of years ago, I was looking on Audible for a One Year Bible – where I could listen to a few chapters each day and cover the whole Bible in a year. So, I found the One Year Bible audiobook. It surprised me in three ways. Firstly, it wasn’t what I thought it … Continue reading One Year Bible – Dr. Bill Creasy
I think in terms of physical, mental and spiritual fitness. For physical, I try to do a 30-minute fast walk everyday. I remember finding some back exercises a couple of years ago on YouTube when I was having back and leg pain. I did these everyday, and kept going for a while after the pain … Continue reading Keep it Simple
I don’t know how to answer this one because I find that my outlook on books can change with my mood. So, I might attempt to read a recommended classic book and find it dull and boring. Then, some years later, I return to it, and it’s wonderful. And then, I might try it again … Continue reading It Depends
Well, firstly, I’m sure that history is full of underrated people. But when I see this prompt, I think of all the people that shape history that don’t feature in history books. When I was a child, I remember hearing the expression “The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.” It wasn’t cherished by … Continue reading The Hand That Rocks the Cradle
I would think that people interpret the term “minimalist living” in various ways. It’s always something that’s attracted me. In various religions, you hear of people leaving lavish lifestyles to pursue simplicity and spiritual priorities. An example is Francis of Assisi. I tend to like to keep things simple. Yet, if people didn’t nudge me … Continue reading Minimalist Living? Let me think 😀
From around 8 to 10 years old, I was big into circuses. I used to buy Corgi circus vehicles for birthdays and Christmas, and I’d visit any circus that came to town. I’d even visit in the early morning on the first day to see them assembling the circus, and I sometimes helped out a … Continue reading Circuses
