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 grew up in Cork, I can think of several memorable events that marked the year and their associated customs. Perhaps the most interesting is bonfire night or “bonna night” as we used to call it in Cork. All the kids in the area would collect junk and light a bonfire in a local … Continue reading Bonfire Night
To answer this one, I could enter the world of fantasy. Let’s suppose I got to heaven, and someone granted me a wish. We’ll undoubtedly worship God in heaven collectively, because the New Testament presents that picture in the book of Revelation, but it also describes a new creation where everything is perfect. That’s not … Continue reading Perfect Health
It isn’t easy to decide what’s best. I’ve certainly enjoyed some more than others, but that might relate to my mood or expectations at the time. Anyway, I’ll list a few: Horslips, Cork City Hall, December 1975 This was my first rock concert. I was only 13 at the time. I was aware of some … Continue reading My Top Ten
I’m not sure that I understand the question. Being an evangelical Christian, I could say preach the gospel. But maybe the question relates to tourism and what to do if you find yourself stuck in Limerick for a few days. I’m from Cork, and though I’ve lived in Limerick for most of my life now, … Continue reading Head to Killarney
I’m pretty obsessed with memories of my earlier life. I love to retrace my steps. I’m so grateful that I am able to remember so much. Life would be quite dull for me if I couldn’t remember anything about my past. But if I were offered a super power, I’d like to become a ghost … Continue reading Time Travel
Something strange happened to the Daily Prompt. I usually write it a day ahead, and I glance at the prompts that are due for the remainder of the week. But the prompts seem to have changed. That’s one mystery that I’ve yet to solve 😀. Here’s a nice song from Prefab Sprout’s 1997 Album, Andromeda … Continue reading The Mystery of Love
Last year’s answer is below, but in the interest of variety in my posts, today I’ll focus on another brand – Google. When I first went on the web back around 1997, I used the Yahoo search engine or MSN search. Around 2000, I became familiar with Google, which is what I use most of … Continue reading Google
I admire most people that I’ve met throughout my life. Obviously, I’m closest to family members, so I’d look to them for advice. In my various jobs, I’d often ask my colleagues for their advice or opinions about work or even decisions outside of work. Regarding my Christian faith, I look to the Bible, but … Continue reading Most People
My policy is to always vote. I used to take a greater interest in politics in my younger days. At one stage, I was quite radical. I’m no longer radical politically. In Ireland, all the parties seem soft left, which seems to be the default nowadays throughout Europe. I’m tempted to rant about politics, but … Continue reading Well, Yeah
At the deepest level, my faith gives me direction in life. If I’m going to spend eternity in the next world, why wouldn’t my life in this world be directed towards that? I used to love Pressing On by Bob Dylan back in the summer of 1980. That became my focus from that point on. … Continue reading Pressing On
