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..
In January 1997, the first divorce occurred in Ireland, following the referendum in 1995. It seemed quite a momentous change at the time, but since then, so much else has changed. England won the Eurovision in 1997, with Love Shine a Light, the 1990s equivalent of All You Need is Love. Two classic secular albums … Continue reading Hymns: 1997 Memories
So how do I practice self-care? I realize it’s a wellness thing. To be of any use to others, you need to look out for yourself. It slightly brings to mind the 1977 Boomtown Rats hit, Looking After Number One. When it was released, I heard it on Irish radio, and I rightly predicted that … Continue reading Looking After Number One
In 1996, I remember being introduced to the Christianity Explained course. We used that for a few years for evangelistic studies. Later we moved onto Christianity Explored. Another popular one, which I never used was the Alpha course. For new Christians, we used to study a little booklet named Walk Worthy. Popular worship songs from … Continue reading Hymns: 1996 Memories
What’s my favorite thing about me? I can wiggle my eyes 😀. I’ve only ever met one other person who could do that. I’m upset that I’ve never got the credit I deserved for doing it 🧐. There just doesn’t seem to be much of a demand for eye wigglers 😫, at least not in … Continue reading The Best Thing About Me
The retirement age in Ireland used to be 65. Recently, they pushed it up to 68 and thankfully brought it back down to 66 after much protest. I don’t know why Paul McCartney chose 64. The funny thing is, he’s now nearly 20 years older and he still hasn’t retired😀. I went to a Paul … Continue reading When I’m 64
My favorite moments are when something that others might take little notice of hits me in a special way.Two things that I can think of is when a baby smiles at me, such as when my youngest daughter first smiled at me, and when I’m in a beautiful place, such as ladies view, Killarney: It’s … Continue reading Moments Like These
1995 was the year that Ireland failed to win the Eurovision song contest 😀. We won three years in a row from 1992 to 1994. My favourite was In Your Eyes, by Niamh Kavanagh, which won in 1993. And 1994 will be remembered for Riverdance, which was introduced to fill the gap between the performance … Continue reading Hymns: 1995 Memories
Well, let me think about the meaning of passionate. Some see it as being related to love and romance or even a hedonistic form of romance. Others see it as some cause that you might have strong feelings about, such as global warming. Then, perhaps some simply see it as what your hobbies are. Someone … Continue reading Passion
So what’s my favourite season? Autumn! I like the fact that the seasons change more than anything. They even change in my Forza Horizon 4 game! All seasons have appealing and unappealing features. For whatever reason, I like autumn best. Maybe part of it is making a fresh start after the summer break and looking … Continue reading Forever Autumn
I didn’t often keep a diary, but one of my hobbies is to consider each month of my life, and to try to see what I can remember.
