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’ve been big into computer games since I was 30. As a kid, we didn’t really have them. I do remember playing the pong TV game back in the 1970s. I didn’t have much interest in computers in the 1980s. Then, in 1992, I started getting inquisitive about Nintendo games. And lo and behold, I … Continue reading Mario
I’m not currently facing any specific challenges. Throughout our lives, we can face all kinds of challenges; relationships, physical health, finances, career, mental wellbeing and so on. It’s not that everything is perfect. But things are going reasonably well. Yet, we mustn’t forget the challenge that Jesus puts to us – the two greatest commandments … Continue reading Loving God and Others
As I write, I’m listening to BBC Radio 2. I particularly like hearing songs that I mightn’t have liked much at the time, but that transport me back to my earlier years. Maybe they played on the radio without me even being conscious that I was listening to them. I can remember this happening twice … Continue reading Mainly Music
Someone once said that some people bring joy wherever they go and others bring joy whenever they go 😀. But I think that all relationships have had a positive impact on me, from God to family, to friends and acquaintances. I probably wouldn’t form any kind of relationship with a really nasty person. But sometimes, … Continue reading I’ve Found a Friend
I’m, afraid that if I ignore silly questions, I’ll break the habit of answering the daily prompt. So, I’ll answer this one 😀. Perhaps I would make them yellow and purple. I don’t think that there’s any likelihood of me starting a sports team, so I haven’t ever given it much thought. I’m more into … Continue reading Perhaps Yellow and Purple
In my late teens, I was more left wing. In fact, I was big into Leon Trotsky. I wondered if I could somehow mingle Christianity with communism. I’m sort of in the middle now, perhaps slightly tending to the right. All the rock music stars that I liked, such as Paul Weller and Elvis Costello … Continue reading Left -> Right
We watched Fellowship of the Ring again in my house over Christmas, I thought that I’d love to have a little hobbit house. I can’t imagine myself being all that fussy about the specifics.
I have an affection for the old cars that I’d see in Ireland back in the 1960s and 70s. All of them lift my spirits when I see them. If I had to choose, it would probably be the Volkswagen Beetle. It has an interesting history: Back in the 60s, as a child, I used … Continue reading Volkswagen Beetle
Let me begin my wishing everyone a merry Christmas 😀. I’m not creative. At times I liked to think that I was, but I realize now that I’m not – at least not in comparison with so many other wonderful people. But I’ve spent my life appreciating what others have created, most of all, the … Continue reading Merry Christmas!
I would think that my parents and the writers of Scripture are my biggest influences. I’m from a Roman Catholic background, but I became an evangelical Christian when I was 18. It felt a little like I was abandoning the religion of my parents. But when I think about it, it was them that taught … Continue reading Wonderful Words of Life
