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..
How do you write what people actually want to read? View all responses I didn’t start this blog to promote myself as a writer. And I’m not a big reader either these days. I’m probably more likely to watch YouTube videos or listen to podcasts. Yet, I sometimes like to read what ordinary people write … Continue reading Let Me See 🧐
What’s the most spontaneous thing you’ve ever done? View all responses I’m a cautious, cowardly type 😀. I’m sure that we all do little spontaneous things every day – such as deciding to go for a walk around the block if it’s sunny. But I can’t think of anything that I’d classify as the most … Continue reading Me – Spontaneous? 😀
How do you make time for self-care? View all responses Perhaps not everyone would agree with me, but I don’t think that self-care is hugely demanding time-wise. I’m pretty much retired now, but even when I was busy in school, college, and work, I always had some time off. And while working, much self-care relates … Continue reading There’s Always Time for Self-Care
What’s a place you visited that felt like home? View all responses I grew up in Cork. I went to college in Limerick, and married and settled here in 1988. But whenever I visit Cork, it always feels like my true home. I can feel “at home” in all sorts of holiday destinations, but only … Continue reading Cork City

View all responses I think that I’d pick the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland. I like how cool, calm, and cheerful he is in such a mad world. And he can appear … Continue reading Cheshire Cat
If you had to switch lives with a fictional character for a week, who would you choose? View all responses Most fictional characters that I admire have pretty scary lives, so it might not be a very pleasant experience to switch lives with them for a week. Maybe I’d like to be Inspector Morse for … Continue reading Inspector Morse?
Have you ever liked a villain more than the hero? Who and why? View all responses Does anyone remember this nursery rhyme? What are little boys made of? Frogs and snails And puppy-dogs’ tailsThat’s what little boys are made of. What are little girls made of? Sugar and spice And all things niceThat’s what little … Continue reading Frogs and Snails and Puppy Dog’s Tails
What’s the longest book you’ve ever read? View all responses The longest novel that I read was probably War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy. To be honest, I enjoyed the BBC TV adaptation more than reading the novel 😀. The war bits were a little tedious to read, but better to watch. I could answer … Continue reading War and Peace?
What’s the best advice you’d give to someone younger than you? View all responses I answered a similar question a couple times. So, I won’t write much today. I don’t feel much different or wiser than I was 20, 30, or 40 years ago, so I’m not sure if my advice carries much weight 😀. … Continue reading Focus on Jesus
