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..
As a child, I do remember being on stage a few times in choirs, singing solo and as a ventriloquist, but the solo performances were at small venues. When I spent a year with London City Mission, I remember singing at Trafalgar Square and Westminster Central Hall as part of a choir of the young … Continue reading Sort Of 😄
I answered a similar question a few times recently with “walking”. I greatly enjoy walking, and lately I try to walk ridiculously fast for about 20-30 minutes each day. I’m finding it exhilarating 😄. At home, I find that rhythm games are quite motivating too. You basically punch colourful objects coming towards you while music … Continue reading Audio Trip
When I look back on my life, I admire all the nice, honest, good-humoured, hard-working people who I encountered. It’s as simple as that. They all spark my admiration. In 1982, shortly after I committed my life to Christ, I was slightly uncomfortable with a line from Ebony and Ivory:There is good and bad in … Continue reading Goodness
I’d like to confuse everyone with an unknown cartoon, but I have to say The Simpsons 😀. I used to enjoy cartoons as a kid, but none of them were very good. I suppose Mr. Magoo was my favourite back then. I should make a list of what I watched. I will in a while. … Continue reading The Simpsons
I could certainly do with less worry 😀. It’s been nearly 40 years since I first heard “Why Worry” by Dire Straits. It’s true that we can ease each other’s worries, but does worry ever really go away in this life? We need to prepare for challenges or dangers and to deal with them. But … Continue reading Why Worry?
Perhaps I could mention that I started this blog this year. I’m enjoying it immensely. I feel like I have friends all over the world even if I have few friends at home 😂. I just wanted to create a little evangelistic website, but the blog element is fun too, especially the daily prompts. For … Continue reading Nothing Particularly Special
Well, I see wild animals whenever I visit zoos, but I assume you’re asking if I ever see them in the wild. We don’t have many interesting wild animals in Ireland. Saint Patrick drove all the snakes out of Ireland. Why did he do that? It was too far for them to walk 😂. Anyway, … Continue reading Rarely
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?
