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 have several favourite places, but today, I think of Cambridge. I first went to Cambridge in 1983. I had been a Pink Floyd fan, and that’s where they were from. And I had recently seen Chariots of Fire, which was partially set in Cambridge. I instantly bonded with Cambridge when I went there in … Continue reading Cambridge
I remember going into a record shop in South Kensington, London, back in 1982 and hearing Frustration by Soft Cell. I didn’t know who sung it when I heard it. There wasn’t any web back then, but I eventually found out who sung it. Marc Almond wasn’t really ordinary. The “ordinary” guy in the video … Continue reading I Am So Ordinary 😀
I sometimes wonder if I’ve been too passive or content with life. I’ve had my dreams, but that’s how I saw them – as dreams. I am impressed with people with ambition, who’ve accomplished great things. Yet, the world is made up of ordinary people, who collectively probably do accomplish great things. I greatly admire … Continue reading Become More Proactive?
I think that I’m a morning person 😀. I like the night too. I just find that I’m more productive in the mornings than I am in the afternoons. And I generally relax when evening comes. I was trying to remember songs about the morning. The most memorable one for me is Morning Has Broken. … Continue reading Morning Has Broken
I don’t see anything wrong with eating meat, but I think that I could happily live in a world without meat. I do eat meat and fish, but I tend to like it best when it doesn’t look like meat. And I never like the notion of animals being slaughtered. I suppose that there’s a … Continue reading Mixed
I’m not into fashion at all. So, I can’t really think in terms of having favorite things to wear. The only way that I can respond to today’s prompt is to speak in spiritual terms, and also reflect on some old pop hits. I’ll begin with the pop hits. It might even provoke me to … Continue reading Forever in Blue Jeans
I’ve never been keen on telephones. In my younger days, I’d use them when I needed to, but I generally avoided them. I always get a bit jittery when they ring. Then, back in the 1990s, when everyone started buying mobile phones, I didn’t bother 😀. I did get one eventually, probably in the mid-noughties. … Continue reading My Phone 😀
Firstly, let me explain the expression “committing my life to Christ”. I grew up in Roman Catholic Ireland, and I was brought up as a Roman Catholic. It was widely believed that everyone was a Christian by default in Ireland, but in school, we’d hear stories of conversions. These would be famous saints, such as … Continue reading Committing My life to Christ
From my recollection, during holidays, we either eat out or cook something very simple at home. I’ve nothing more to say really, at least nothing directly related to today’s prompt. Here’s a pic we took in the Lake District, UK, in our 2003 holiday. It might be Ambleside or somewhere close. Happy days 😀. We … Continue reading Nothing Special
I want to be honest with my replies. I just can’t imagine not needing to rest and relax for part of the day. I’m old enough to remember the introduction of Mars Bars to Ireland. The slogan was:A Mars a day helps you work, rest and play. Work Rest and Play was also the title … Continue reading Work Rest and Play
