Play

I enjoy walking, cycling, swimming, golf, going to the movies, reading books, listening to music and spending time with friends.

On Friday 4th June 2010 I set off with two friends and cycled the length of Ireland. We completed the 390 mile journey from Mizen Head to Malin Head in four days - averaging around 98 miles per day. The cycle was a great physical challenge, and an opportunity to raise money for Charlene's Project. Photos from our adventure may be viewed on our "Soigneur's" Facebook page.

Faith

Since becoming a Christian in 2000, the development of my faith and relationship with God has been really important to me. In December 2006 I spoke in Hill Street Presbyterian Church, Lurgan about how I came to have a personal relationship with Christ - click below to listen. The music at the start and end have been used without the permission of Chris Tomlin or Aaron Espe - I'm hoping they won't mind too much!?! :p)

Press play once, then wait a few seconds for recording to start ...

The below verses and quotes continually inspire and encourage;

"No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those that love Him." 1 Cor 2:9

"The Lord will fulfil his purpose for me; your love, O Lord, endures for ever." Ps 138:8

"If God is for us, who is against us? ...Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? ...I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord." Rom 8:31, 35, 38-39

"A simple life in the fear of God is better than a rich life with a ton of headaches."

"... but if you are content to be simply yourself, you will become more than yourself."
