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..
Firstly, let me explain the expression “committing my life to Christ”. I grew up in Roman Catholic Ireland, and I was brought up as a Roman Catholic. It was widely believed that everyone was a Christian by default in Ireland, but in school, we’d hear stories of conversions. These would be famous saints, such as … Continue reading Committing My life to Christ
From my recollection, during holidays, we either eat out or cook something very simple at home. I’ve nothing more to say really, at least nothing directly related to today’s prompt. Here’s a pic we took in the Lake District, UK, in our 2003 holiday. It might be Ambleside or somewhere close. Happy days 😀. We … Continue reading Nothing Special
I want to be honest with my replies. I just can’t imagine not needing to rest and relax for part of the day. I’m old enough to remember the introduction of Mars Bars to Ireland. The slogan was:A Mars a day helps you work, rest and play. Work Rest and Play was also the title … Continue reading Work Rest and Play
Generally speaking, I try not to have peeves. People can irritate me, but I probably don’t spend much time with people apart from family. And when you live in a house together, it’s best to avoid getting irritated. I couldn’t think of any pet peeves. I asked Microsoft Copilot to list some common ones to … Continue reading Who Has My Mariokart?
I won’t mention family or friends. I’ll mention those who I might listen to on YouTube, Audible, or podcasts. I’ll begin with a few secular folk, and then I’ll move on to some Christian teachers: Someone said, “Whoever is tired of London is tired of life”. I never tire of London, even when I tire … Continue reading Here’s My Top 10
It’s very hard to choose a favourite animal. It depends on the context. For pets, I liked both cats and dogs as a child. If I’m visiting a zoo, perhaps lions, tigers, elephants, rhinos, hippos, orangutans and giraffes are the most memorable. But the more I think about it, the more difficult it is to … Continue reading Pandas
I’m not really one for climbing mountains, but I like being surrounded by mountains. And I’m not the sort of person who’d want to lie on the beach all day, but I do enjoy walking along beaches. It’s a long time since I swam. One of my favourite holiday spots is County Kerry, Ireland, which … Continue reading Kerry Mountains
Eeek! Today’s prompt doesn’t really suit me, but I’ll answer it anyway – so as not to break the daily habit 😃. There’s no consensus in my family about favourite meals. But some of us are keen on foreign dishes, such as the following (let’s say the top three are our favourites): I don’t know … Continue reading Foreign Dishes
I could say Jesus, because he is a historical figure, but I’ve already met him in spiritual terms. God is omnipresent and at times He makes his presence felt, particularly when we draw close to him. In heaven, I’ll be much more aware of his presence. When I think of Jesus, if I met him, … Continue reading Paul and Patrick
I think that we all trust our instincts, gut feelings or intuition to some degree. Life is much easier if we don’t need to constantly think through everything thoroughly and rationally. But I don’t like to rely too much on my instincts because they can be wrong. For example, I have been wrong about people. … Continue reading Yes and No
