What would worry me about erasing one event from history is the unintended consequences. This was illustrated in a Simpsons episode where Homer travelled back in time. Making some tiny tweaks had big consequences for the future 😀. I can certainly think of sad new stories or events that occured in my own life or … Continue reading Unintended Consequences

I dislike conspiracy theories, but maybe someday such a theory might turn out to be true. But I tend to associate them with hateful people or silly people. Maybe a believable one would be that William Shakespeare was a front man and that the plays were written by Francis Bacon, Edward de Vere, or Christopher … Continue reading I Dislike Conspiracy Theories 😄

So much of life has elements of uncertainty. Yet, you can anticipate what might go wrong and address what you can address. That’s what I seek to do. For example, who knows what health problems might occur? But nowadays, we have so much information on looking after your health – physical, mental and spiritual. And … Continue reading Because He Lives

When I was a teenager, we saw 18 as the light at the end of the tunnel. So, perhaps that was the moment. In my earlier teens, we used to think in terms of drinking in pubs and clubs and going to “over-18” movies. As it happened, I committed my life to Christ when I … Continue reading 1980

I’m not big into eating out, but here’s a nice one in Limerick, Ireland. It’s near the cathedral, the river, and the Hunt Museum.

When I was a child, everyone around me was a Roman Catholic. As a teen, I was into the Beatles, who were interested in transcendental meditation. That triggered an interest in other religions and other Christian denominations. I wasn’t happy in Roman Catholicism. Most of my friends went to Mass because it was expected of … Continue reading Focus on Jesus

Tough question – I like dinner to be relaxing. If I was with someone famous, I’d be a bit nervous 😁. I have read plenty of fiction over the years, but mainly the classics. So, it would need to be someone like Charles Dickens, Mark Twain, George Elliot, Jane Austin , Anthony Trollope, or Emily … Continue reading Wayne Grudem

I remember being in a car crash some years ago. Thankfully, none of us were seriously injured, but the car was a write off. I was on a road perhaps around 40 miles from home. This stranger was hanging around looking at us standing next to the wreck. And then he offered to drive us … Continue reading Good Samaritan

When I look back over my life, I’m so nostalgic about my past. But if I could teleport myself to any moment, I’d probably find that I’d been a bit bogged down with worry about school, work, or the future. But now that I’m detached from such worries, when I look at the past, I … Continue reading Enjoy Yourself 😀

I can’t really remember seeking out local dishes while travelling in Europe in my younger days. I would generally just head for McDonalds. 😀 And when I was a child, we only knew Irish food. Nowadays, we frequently eat foreign food in Ireland – particularly Indian, Thai, Chinese, Italian, Greek, Spanish and Mexican. The only … Continue reading Ulster Fry
