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’d like to be more informed about all sorts of things. I am very jealous of really clever scientists, such as Stephen Hawking, Albert Einstein, and Isaac Newton. But life might be very dull if there was little to learn. Even all those brilliant scientists longed to know more and more. Anyway, I’ll list six … Continue reading Does Your Chewing Gum Lose its Flavour on the Bedpost Overnight?
If music never existed in the first place, perhaps I wouldn’t miss it 😀. But if music was banned in 2025, I’d be very sorry. Music has always been a huge part of my life. It’s a delightful gift from God. My poor heart was heavyMy poor heart was stoneThen I heard them – they … Continue reading Thank You for the Music!
Happy Xmas (War Is Over) was a hit in Ireland and the UK at Christmas 1972, a few months after I became a pop fan. Those few years were great years for Christmas pop songs. So, in Ireland, schools get Christmas holidays, Easter holidays, and summer holidays. When I was a Roman Catholic, we also … Continue reading Happy Xmas (War Is Over)
Well, I don’t do much cooking or baking to start with, and when I do, I’m not very ambitious. But one memory that looms large was tomato and orange soup about 37 years ago. Nothing went wrong but it was just a bad decision to make it in the first place. It just wasn’t nice … Continue reading Tomato and Orange Soup
I wish that I had been more empathetic earlier in life. For example, though most of my physical or mental health issues have been minor, they have made me more sympathetic to those who suffer. And I think that everyone suffers to some degree. I sometimes think of this section from Baker Street: You used … Continue reading Love and Understanding
My mother had a lot of trouble with me as a child because I thought meat was a bit gross, and I didn’t like vegetables 😀. As soon as I heard about poison, I would wonder if something that had a strong taste was poison. I remember hating marmalade, and it took a lot to … Continue reading Food Glorious Food
I walk every day. I find walking quite relaxing. Recently I was reminded that it’s good to push yourself and walk so fast that you feel a little uncomfortable for 20 minutes every day. I’ve started to do that, and I find it quite exhilarating. Maybe it’s nice to have a bit of both types. … Continue reading Walk Right Now!
I see myself as a leader, but I’m not sure if others do. I was hoping to be King of England, but Prince Charles got in before me. And Prince William seems to edging me out now. They don’t like me coz I’m Irish 😤. And I missed out on being Pope on seven occasions. … Continue reading Yes, I’m the King of the World!
I don’t really have a favorite word, but it set me thinking about words. Is the question about the words themselves or what they represent? And some words, such as Jesus, are so embedded in my life that I don’t think of them as words. I asked Microsoft Copilot about favourite words, and it gave … Continue reading Nocturne
Today’s prompt brought to mind one of my favourite cartoons from around 1998, Pinky and the Brain – where every episode began with a little mouse declaring that he wanted to take over the world 😀. I do hope to take over the world, but I only have 189 subscribers so far. I need around … Continue reading Same Thing I Do Every Evening – Try to Take Over the World!
