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..
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
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
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.
I’d only change my name if I became a rock star. I’d choose a memorable name. And in doing so, I’d pay tribute to Ringo Starr and Elvis Presley. So, my new name would be Ringo Presley 😀. When I was around 8 years old, I hated all hippies. I liked Elvis because I saw … Continue reading Ringo Presley
So, what quality do I most value in a friend? It’s not an easy question to answer. I’m not even sure who to classify as friends. When I look back over my life, apart from my original family and my current wife and kids, I can’t really say that I had any very intimate friends. … Continue reading Anytime You Need a Friend

When I was young, I focused more on the dream world. I come from a nice family, and I appreciated that, but it all seemed quite … Continue reading You Can Have It All!
My iPad was very precious to me, but now it spontaneously shuts down every minute. I will eventually buy a new one 😀. Perhaps we’re speaking of items that are of sentimental value and that are impossible to replace. They’re quite a lot of these in my house. I think the oldest item is a … Continue reading Precious Possessions: Finnegan
The last significant live performance that I saw was Paul Weller, in an outdoor concert in the grounds of King John’s Castle Limerick in 2024. I went along with some of my family. It was impressive that such an artist would perform in such an intimate venue. Nowadays most concerts in Limerick are tribute acts. … Continue reading Paul Weller: Limerick, Ireland
Well, Irish isn’t really a theme, it’s more of a category. And what constitutes an Irish hymn? I think of hymns with Irish-sounding tunes and hymns written by Irish people. Maybe more come from Northern Ireland than the Republic, but from a spiritual point of view, as with rugby, Ireland has one team 😀. Irish-sounding … Continue reading Hymn Themes: Irish Hymns
I don’t have many musical memories from 1986, at least not from hymns. One song that I remember very vividly around the time of my final exams was Spirit in the Sky by Doctor and the Medics. I didn’t think of it as any kind of a Christian song, and I found it irritating, but … Continue reading Hymns: 1986 Memories
