@Ireland Curator: Mike Neglia

Curating from tomorrow morning is Nay McArdle of @harmlessnoise

It's been an absolute pleasure this week looking after this account. I will now recede back to the obscurity of my @mikeneglia account.

@ratskins Right so, I'll head outside and just look up. :)

@madebyme73 I've got some good friends that live in Cobh, maybe next time I'm down there we can grab a coffee & chat theology & punk rock.

@ratskins When's it start, do you know?

@madebyme73 My hair isn't thinning yet - but I'm getting noticeable grey hairs!!! #oldpunx

@karenmices Thanks so much Karen! It's been an interesting week all right!

@JohnMoynes I don't understand what you're saying. Surely one of us is confused. It's probably me. I've been up since 4am.

@madebyme73 I actually became a Christian at a punk show 13 years ago! youtube.com/watch?v=SU93kx…

@madebyme73 Brilliant, I was really into crust punk for years. But, I can listen to anything.

@JohnMoynes Yes; 2Pet3says that He is not willing that any should perish but all come to repentance. so, in other words, He's looking at you

@form_architect Great question! It seems like it. Not many other options it seems. unsavoury, but probable. gotquestions.org/Cains-wife.html

@JohnMoynes I know it can seem pedantic from your point of view, but I prefer to say that God "found me". Because He wasn't lost, I was.

@JohnMoynes my goal was to overtake John Moynes as "best curator" ... I'll leave that for the judges to decide!

@JohnMoynes Personally - I really don't like the term "finding God" but that's what the interviewer called it.

@JohnMoynes zing.

@madebyme73 @MarketsAlive I gather that a lot of it won't make sense until we read Ken Carey or the Aquarian Gospel.

...On the John Murray show on RTE 1: goo.gl/fzMX5 interview starts 8 min in.

I meant to send this out days ago, but you can listen to my friend, pro surfer John McCarthy talk about surfing in Co Clare & "finding God"

@madebyme73 on a different note, what kind of punk are you into?

@madebyme73 we're both deeply convinced of our worldviews& have overlapping vocabularies w/ different lexicons. It makes for confusing convo

@MarketsAlive We have vastly different worldviews, & I don't understand where you are coming from, but I do appreciate your well wishes.

@cathyby Here's another one: anglandicus.blogspot.ie/2011/06/scribe…

@PastorCJ3 Thanks CJ! Good having you here!

@JeremyTaxman Ya. Eventually I'm going to have to object as the R.E. lessons get more distinctively R.C. and less broadly Christian.

@MarketsAlive my current experiential intimacy w/ God is based on th objective truths revealed in scripture.I dont see how thats patronising

@JeremyTaxman Living location and spaces available ASD capable classrooms have limited our choices. I've reviewed his R.E. book+don't object

@kcourtney8 It was gorgeous earlier today. Cloudy/overcast now and the sun is just going down.

@danielawiesmank @Funny_4pps no thank you.

@MarketsAlive I'm convinced that it is true. Religion isn't pick&mix. I think it's patronising to take all our favourite parts & combine'em

@MarketsAlive I will aim to read the Aquarian Gospel one of these days, but I don't plan on accepting some of the tenets of Bhuddism unless

@JeremyTaxman influence on my son, not a teacher or any school employee. So I'm trying to systematically teach & model Christianity for him.

@JeremyTaxman that had the Special Ed resources, and they just aren't available everywhere... But I see my role to be the primary spiritual

@JeremyTaxman Didn't want him to go to a RC or COI school, but when he was diagnosed with autism we realised we needed to send him somewhere

@JeremyTaxman Is it an educate together school? We really gave a lot of thought about what sort of school we were going to send our son.

@KimPiper1 "Gas-Hog" Buses are still so much better than the car culture of southern California where I grew up!

@cathyby You learnt it as school? Wow! I didn't hear of it till I read it on his blog. "cat tweet" *sigh* i guess....

@MarketsAlive He affirms that He is "the Christ" not one manifestation of many of the Christ consciousness.

@MarketsAlive That seems like a vastly different view than Jesus Himself had. Matthew 16:16-17 He affirms the use of the def. article.

@JeremyTaxman And distinctions between major world religions. I'm not in favour of confirmation classes (or anything like them) in school.

@JeremyTaxman I'm no expert on the R.E. curriculum; but I am in favour of comparative religion being taught with emphasis on similarities...

@JeremyTaxman many R.E. teachers were doing in educating kids. Seemed like most of it was moralism.

@JeremyTaxman complicated issue. I was working towards a H.Dip in order to be a religion teacher years ago. Partly because I saw how poorly

@cathyby Here's another scribal marginal insertion (this time a poem) anglandicus.blogspot.ie/2011/11/mise-a…

It's been great curating @ireland for the week.A lot more time consuming than I imagined,but loads of fun.Great to interact w/ so many of ye

I think the most substantial chat I got into was with @travors - I did my best to arrange it chronologically here: goo.gl/dD1eF

An excellent example of respectful disagreement and discussion. I don't think I changed @travors mind, and I know he didn't change mine.

But I felt like we could all learn from his polite yet firm thoughtfulness.

@GuyLeJeune intelligent conversation and hiakus are the key to my heart! I'd love to grab a coffee if I'm ever up in Donegal!

And @GuyLeJeune has been great too. He wrote me a hiaku on my 1st day (!) and has been a great conversation partner as well! Very thoughful.

@KimPiper1 What's a South Lake Union scene? I am old and out of touch.

@cathyby There's loads more of that kind of stuff out there. My friend is really into ancient manuscripts & he blogs at anglandicus.blogspot.com

@JeremyTaxman I believe the systemic cover up of horrific abuse should negate any privileged position that they hold.

@cathyby ha! I've had grouchy days like that as well!

@MarketsAlive I want to be on the welcoming committee!

@melomys The greatest part is doing what I'm convinced God wants me to be doing right now.

@melomys being on call 24/7, unusual working hours, hard counselling cases, work/family balance etc.

@fre4077 Those statues are a symbol of Marian devotion,& I mean no disrespect to those who own+display them.I just disagree w/ their meaning

@fre4077 whom we are to pray to. The Bible says that God alone hears prayer.

@fre4077 the history here goo.gl/G5TIu I'm convinced that she is a role model for us in her devotion+faith, but not as someone

@fre4077 They represent the virgin Mary. Marian devotion is an important part of modern Irish Catholicism. My friend wrote an article about

@JeremyTaxman I think charity status for churches is a lovely idea, & we're working towards that atm, but I don't think it's a right.

@JeremyTaxman I speak as an outsider (non-Catholic) but that sounds like a fantastic idea to me.

@cathyby Did you really? Well; you've garnered support from all quarters haven't you!? :)

@KathOMeara And you're right, "There is nothing new under the sun"

@KathOMeara You're right! Irish scribes are famous for doodles and poems and comments in the margins of manuscripts!

@mrsgortex If you're looking for a great commentary on the book I'd recommend William O'Brien's Pillar NT Commentary on Hebrews.

I've only got a few hours left. Anyone got any questions for me? . goo.gl/6frDR

@cathyby You know the feeling?

@GuyLeJeune Funny that we know just how the guy feels!

@mrsgortex If you want - that is!

@mrsgortex I didn't plan on taking this long - but so much of Hebrews can't be rushed through! You can listen along at calvarycork.org

"It's Sunday evening and I'm wrecked" - Marginal note on 15th Century Irish manuscript an Leabhar Breac. goo.gl/YGmqf

@Dickensonfarms Thanks so much Joe- my regular account is @mikeneglia Would love to see you over there!

@GuyLeJeune although I don't tweet nearly as much from that account as I have from this one this week.I'm probably going to ramp it up a bit

@mrsgortex NICE! We've been going through Hebrews for the past 15 months. Just starting Ch 13 now, will finish before Christmas; Le Cunmh Dé

@drgoretex @GuyLeJeune you can find the real me at @mikeneglia !

@auntyamo I got nothin to lose!

@PaulAnthonyWard Thanks for your pointers regarding hospitality and religious orders! It brought me towards some new study material.

@auntyamo I know that they have loads of Dublin based applicants; so I think being from the real capitol gave me a bit of an advantage!

@auntyamo It was a lot more work than I thought it would be, but I'm really glad I got to do it. You should apply! worldirish.com

@travors Oh nice, that sounds really good. How is it different than a flat white?

@travors What's a cortado?

@patphelan I've only paid for 2 apps in 3 years of owning an iPhone! #cheapskate

@tjones035 thanks loads! Means a lot. I actually grew up in San Diego!

Now spending time with some friends + family at Blackrock market.

Fantastic morning at @CalvaryCork this morning. Preached on "Hospitality and the Gospel of Jesus" from Hebrews 13:2-3. Such a great text.

@TimForde well ill be gone in 11 hours so even if I'm annoying you won't have to put up with me for long!

@TimForde Depends on who you're trying to avoid!

@hispanista Here's hoping! Safe trip!

@KimPiper1 Seattle is great too! I spent a weekend there in 2002, really hope to get back one day.

@Nerin_ I came across this article and it reminded me of what we were talking about on Tues Let me know if it's helpful thegospelcoalition.org/blogs/tgc/2012…

@hispanista Oh Dear! are you flying towards Ireland or away from it?

@KimPiper1 Where is that? Derry? Istanbul? Amsterdam?

@KimPiper1 it is, isn't it? Thanks!

The sun is coming up in Cork. pic.twitter.com/HkrKsdFZ

@hispanista Here's the studio recording: youtube.com/watch?v=ldH_Pi…

@hispanista I love the song. I put it on nearly every playlist I make. According to my iTunes I've listened to it 108 times!

@NaomiMindy Definitely not in the area that I'm familiar with - but I'm only up there 2 or 3 times a year.

Vermillion by Album Leaf is the best early morning chill out song. Here is a video of them playing it in Tokyo. goo.gl/l5ISo

@NaomiMindy (just realised you probably didn't get the Dublin neighbourhood related humour!)

@NaomiMindy Ballymun is a really rough area, they probably would disagree!

@stwidgie Dawn doesn't crack here till about 7:15 these days! Enjoy Chicago. I love that city.

@NaomiMindy If businessinsider.com says so, who am I to disagree? I'm staying in Ballymun next week, I'll let them know about the article!

.@psneeze I wake up early on Sunday mornings to pray, read & make final revisions to this morning's sermon. I really enjoy the A.M. silence.

@mtobinod @mrsgoretex well it's a reasonable hour in Canada! Hope your days were good!

@Jonathanwpurvis believe it or not I've never heard of them until now!

@Jonathanwpurvis @storyfold sounds good how were they?

@travors great to hear from you again! It's been good talking through the week. Good night!

How's it going Ireland? Who's awake now? Are you getting up or going to bed? Are you happy to be awake?

@NoMansWoman sorry to hear about that.

@eileen1812 I can't imagine eating anything for the next few days to be honest!

On that note;if anyone is on Instagram and is looking for 1 more person to follow, you can find me at mikeneglia. Loads of non-food pictures

I have vowed to not be one of those "Instagram every meal" people. But if ever I was tempted; it was tonight!

We were seated at 7:30, didn't finish the last course till nearly 11:00. An unending procession of delicious food.

Ballymaloe house: amazing! I don't think I've ever this full.

I'm anticipating lots of relish.

Heading out for a double date. Our good friends got a voucher to Ballymaloe house so we're going to see what all the fuss is about!

Very thankful for the good people of @irishguidedogs who trained him for this purpose.

@sarahrodeo I listened to a podcast about them; they think they might be able to smell a change in body chemistry that precedes seizures!

@FizaIsa Ya- big help with spatial awareness. He's hyposensitive as well, so Hector is pretty tough.

The Sunday Times did a story about assistance dogs that featured us; check it out if you're interested thesundaytimes.co.uk/sto/news/irela…

He is attached to him when walking to school/through town to keep him from bolting into traffic. And he's a great friend around the house.

.@FizaIsa His name is Hector, & he can't detect seizures. My son hasn't had any in 6 years, thank God, so he doesn't need to do that.

@RuthieFizz Good idea - but a bit too risky. I opted to tuck it away in my locker instead!

Ok chat to ye later- we're going swimming, and my phone isn't waterproof!

He's actually a goldendoodle! His mom is a poodle and his dad is a golden retriever. Pretty unusual mix- but it made a great dog!

@NinaLjFr nope!

@sleepinvan are you trash talking a marathon?

@HeatherColson nope!

@hockamania nope!

@GillsiesGoons nope!

@SheilaLawlor nope!

@Harkin_M67 nope!

@girl__friday nope!

My son and his autism assistance dog; Hector. Anyone care to guess what kind of dog he is? @irishguidedogs pic.twitter.com/h77PGbfL

@alcoss I remember watching this when I was a kid!

Do you like Bright Eyes and creative music videos? Then you'll love this video from Cork's own Jon Blek and the Rats goo.gl/hRLtr

@FeenaD Are the tickets for Fred still up for grabs?

@fredtheband Have you got any tickets left for Thursday night?

@I_amGermany we love it! I think it's great that it's so slow. So much kids stuff is really fast and flashy these days.

This song about the solar system is my son's favourite on all of YouTube goo.gl/PlCOJ and Rachel and I love it too!

@casabeca I LOVE the part when ValJean lifts the cart off of his enemy, knowing that it will cost him his freedom. Reminds me of Rom 5:8

@casabeca I really had to push through the Waterloo chapter(s) & the long history of the Parisian convent, but I haven't skipped a page yet!

@casabeca The priest is fantastic isn't he? I loved when he requested a carriage allowance so that he could have more € to give to the poor

@casabeca I certainly would see the value in an abridged version. Victor Hugo can be a bit wordy at times!

@emersonhex I have never heard of it. It might be something for me to start on st Stephens day!

@mrsgortex how far are you? I'm at the bit where Marius keeps going to the park to look at Cossette.

@syakirinrosik she doesn't know anyone who has read it- and she's dying to have a conversation about it!

I've got to say; Jean Val Jean is such a great protagonist.

I'm about halfway done. It's SO good! I don't usually read fiction.

For her Christmas present she asked me to read the whole book by Dec 25th so that we could talk about it.

My wife is a big fan of Les Miserables. She's read the book twice, listens to the soundtrack all the time & has seen it in theatre 3x.

@StoneHuts if you can compress it to one tweet I'll RT it for ya!

@gemchakra never heard of it? Is it autobiographical?

@gemchakra from my chat with him- he's super nice; but not the most clear spoken person in the world!

@gemchakra you couldn't just tell us the punchline? #ShaneMcGowanEncounters

@AliMerrigan I love the view from the motorway- I'm sure it's spectacular up close!

Here's a better version of that picture. #ShaneMcGowanEncounters pic.twitter.com/KtMWojs3

Here's the picture of me and Shane McGowan. Who else has met him in a random place? pic.twitter.com/wEGGdoil

@lynn_zack I'm looking for the picture. Ill post it and you can see for yourself!

.@paddyanglican Love it! Any other #ShaneMcGowanEncounters?

I was walking down South Mall one morning and I saw Shane McGowan outside the imperial drinking wine. I had a chat & got a picture with him!

Here's a bit of the Pogues to get you started this weekend! youtube.com/watch?v=DrBLqp…

@AliMerrigan I wasn't able to make it there, but thanks for the advice!

@thedavewoody They have the best espresso I've ever had! Enjoy!

@darraghdoyle you can skip to 2:00 into the video, the beginning is introductions etc.

@darraghdoyle In the interim here's a bit of an interview with Shane Angland that addresses some of your concerns youtube.com/watch?v=bucBIJ…

@darraghdoyle I did miss you! And I'll be posting that book out on Tuesday probably. I don't have any envelopes big enough at the moment

Back home in Cork after an all day meeting. What did I miss?

Fatigue is the price of leadership. Mediocrity is the result of never getting tired. - Oswald Sanders

@rickoshea I "hate" those. It makes me read the word in a different tone of voice.

@thedavewoody all i can say about dublin is the best place to get coffee is 3fe - 3fe.com

@renggapriska county Tipperary , near the middle of the country.

@LandersIE @timtebow how are you enjoying the book? I might get myself a copy one of these days.

Arrived in Cashel. Gorgeous place. pic.twitter.com/zzK8CNtS

@ken_nicoletti touché!

Morning everyone! Nice quiet morning so far, drinking some @badgeranddodo coffee and reading Jeremiah 1-2. What are you reading/drinking?

@TharangaRK glad to hear it! The two most important words when it comes to running are "keep going."

@CyclingnRunning well- I do love cycling and running...

@phil_walsh would love to have you!

@ClontarfD3 someone made a fb group, but it's private at the moment. Ill see if we can change it to public.

An incredibly catchy tune from Cork's own @fredtheband youtube.com/watch?v=GtQ7UT…

@ClontarfD3 from city hall to Blackrock castle and back. It's pure casual!

Cork Casual Cycle was a success! Made new friends, saw a beautiful sunset. We'll do it again in the next fortnight.Let me know if interested

completed a 10.12 mi bike with @RunKeeper. Check it out! rnkpr.com/a22v7bz #RunKeeper

Great time with the Cork Casual Cycle Gang pic.twitter.com/r63wWOBP

Aria. That's the word I misspelled in a grade school spelling bee. I still get flashbacks whenever I see it! pic.twitter.com/Dhgy0HBd

@NoMansWoman thanks for getting back to me. Enjoy your time down here!

@GuyLeJeune that's succinct! But hey I gotta turn off the phone again-this sermon ain't gonna write itself!!!

This is my bike. He would love to meet your bike at Cork City Hall in an hour. #CorkCasualCycleGang pic.twitter.com/DgvoQiLc

@GuyLeJeune it's hard to fit a worldview into 140 characters isn't it?

@GuyLeJeune Its said that the God of the Bible is far more liberal than the liberals hoped and more conservative than fundamentalists dream

@GuyLeJeune the atheist that wants to turn me into a Quaker!

@NoMansWoman you're going to be in Cork on Friday?Any chance I could interview you about what you were saying Tuesday re: Jesus & Religion?

@carolinekello or it proves that cat people are a bit batty.

@guylejeune the thrust of the sermon will probably be;as we serve people theyMIGHT be angels-but in another sense they ARE identifiedw/Jesus

@guylejeune Matthew 25:31-46 shows that Jesus identifies with the poor/marginalised so that to show hospitality to them is to show it to Him

@GuyLeJeune very good! We were talking about that verse last night in community group!

@auroralapetite right so. There's a fb group. Search for Cork Casual Cycle Gang to be kept up to date with cycles etc.

@auroralapetite ill see what I can do about getting you a loan of one.

Have you heard of GarfieldminusGarfield.net? the bleakest and funniest existential comic strip I've ever seen! And the artist follows @ireland !

Weather is beautiful in Cork! Hope you can make it out for the Cork Casual Cycle Gang.

@auntyamo Im not clever enough to think up different creative themes for sermons-so I just go through the bible, book by book,verse by verse

@auntyamo I'm teaching a series through Hebrews these days, so those are this weeks verses!

@ClarImeall ill do that! She follows this account you know!

@PaulAnthonyWard fantastic- ill google it! Thanks

@CeadaoinsChild midnight isn't that late, do you have to be up early in the morning?

@zetgem great story! Yes; too late for books but not too late for a fantastic story of hospitality!

@PaulAnthonyWard great point! I'm not that familiar with different Orders, can you tell me something about these traditions of hospitality?

@GuyLeJeune I don't expect that to be a common occurrence. The verse says "some have" entertained angels unaware, not "you definitely will"

@BertaTollick thanks a lot- happy to have you on board!

@redmadden very good point! Thanks man

Taking a break from studying for lunch, so I thought I'd check in here. Everyone all right?

But I'm not trying to "impose" an "agenda" on all of you. Have a look if you like and get back to me if you want! :)

The text is Hebrews 13:2-3. If anyone wants to look it up & give me their thoughts I'd be much obliged!

Okay bibliophiles; I've got to turn off my phone now and get to work on Sunday's sermon.

@LeedsBookClub thanks so much for the invite but I wont be able to make it! I'll be at a conference in York this summer so maybe I can then!

And it seems nearly everyone who responded also reads multiple books at once. I'll RT a few.

@psneeze @conor_horgan seems like a really gripping plot! I favourited your tweet so I can go back to it.

@rickoshea my New Years resolution in 2010 was to finish a book before I start a new one! It didn't really work out...

@Nerin_ any recommendations of a good post apocalyptic story? :)

@LeedsBookClub I would expect that someone who goes by "Avid Reader" would be reading something good!

@psneeze I don't read much fiction - but I really liked The Road. What's the gist of 100 days?

@rickoshea the feedback I've gotten is from people who read loads at once. You're the first who exercises self control!

Ok back to books that you're reading- a few more people sent in their current tomes.

@psneeze ill keep an eye out for it. Have you read The Road by Cormac McCarthy?

. @DeiseDreamin I got goosebumps just looking at the picture!

@psneeze very rarely does a story involving the term "post apocalyptic" NOT involve zombies! But this is one of them!

And we all cheered her along like we were the best of friends! The whole room of strangers was united for those few minutes.

So that the employees could watch the fight! I popped into the pun @ the imperial hotel and watched it with a load of businessmen and women!

I was cycling through a desolate, post apocalyptic looking Cork city on the way to make a deposit @ the bank. When I got there it was closed

I was able to catch bits of it. Thanks for the link @niallkelly - So where were you when Katie Taylor won the gold?

@phil_walsh ray d'arcy

I'm trying to listen to the Katie Taylor interview but I can't get a stream online can someone send me a link that will work on an iPhone?

Am I the only one who reads 5 books at the same time? I don't have the discipline to finish the current book before I start the next one!

@sarahrodeo catchy title; what's it about?

@I_amGermany what sort of people does he write about?

@BridgetFitz so how does one "be good"?

@mrskevieg oh no! Gutted you can't make it. We ride together about 2 or 3 times a month so you'll have another chance!

@curvydor sorry to hear that but I think you sent that to the wrong account!

Just finished up the book of Isaiah. Anyone reading anything interesting these days?

@todayfmofficial when is Katie Taylor going to be on?

@Jim_Sheridan I love the priests on a plane episode! One of their best. The joke telephone gets me every time!

@jtatcmf it's my passion, my profession and my vocation. I'm probably going to mention it more than just once. Sorry if I've bothered you.

@mrskevieg are you planning on coming this afternoon? We'd love to have you join us!

@cribbs have a good night! It's still dark here and I'd say a good chunk of the population is still asleep!

@PeopleOfUK I don't know... Anglo-Irish relations is a touch subject for most!

@PeopleOfUK that's the danger isn't it! I certainly don't want to be annoying- but idiot want to be too quiet and never get anyone talking

Shandon street - 7am #picturestakenwhilejogging pic.twitter.com/lZw4kdf5

@PeopleOfUK 2 people were a bit nasty yesterday but they were vastly outnumbered by nice people

@PeopleOfUK ha! I mean it can be a bit of a challenge to get some banter going on topics that I throw out there!

@PeopleOfUK thanks mate!

@PeopleOfUK I throw things out there, but nobody bites!

@hellofrmSG thanks for your honesty and openness about this!

@PeopleOfUK how long have you been curating? I'm finding it hard to think of ideas now that I'm on my 4th day!

Just completed a 3.47 mi run - 11 days, 21 hours and 54 minutes till @dublinmarathon rnkpr.com/a22s7e2 #RunKeeper

If you live in Cork & own a bike you're invited to join the Cork Casual Cycle Gang for a spin to Blackrock & back. Meet 5:30 @ City Hall.

@linglang welcome aboard- hope I don't disappoint!

@johnsmth348 @linglang apply at worldirish.com Seriously- they'll let ANYONE do it;)

@locstitches thanks very much!

Getting ready for Wednesday night community group. I'm Mopping floors & reviewing notes!

@Jim_Sheridan NO!!!!

@TharangaRK sorry about the rain-keep running though! You won't regret it!

One final Craggy Island jumper reference before I go: youtube.com/watch?v=SLVrNh…

@AjK_18 great job catching the reference!

@NaomiMindy that would be a a whole different kind of scandal! A jumper is our word for a sweater.

@GuyLeJeune yesterday you were vacillating between atheism, humanism and Quakerism! Looks like you've made up your mind since then! :)

There's a hole in my jumper. What will the parishioners think!? pic.twitter.com/eJXekRfw

@mcwilliamph what time are you aiming for?

@phil_walsh @cjamcmahon it's worse than that- we don't volunteer; we PAY to run!

@poshknacker_1 oops!! Sorry @mooja77 I meant @m00ja77

@saoili as in- those were the only two faces you recognised or there was nobody else physically present?

@mcwilliamph @dublinmarathon I did 20 miles yesterday. I know what you mean about 'the fear' !

But the greatest was a family near Musgrave park who were in front of their house giving away orange segments & store bought gummies!

@poshknacker_1 you and @mooja77 should sit down for a meal together!

@lehaneb I only say LOL when I actually laugh out loud, good job. LOL.

I've done two Cork half marathons- the support on the street was unbelievable. Miles&miles of cheering Corkonians! Really gives you strength

@auntyamo I'm trying not to!

So. Who is running in this year's @dublinmarathon ? How's training going for you?

@TheEvertBopp he just blocked me, so I guess that's the end of that.

@irishstu thanks man! You set it up perfectly! Although, for a theological caveat look up John 6:70-71

@GuyLeJeune they didn't come out until this morning actually.

@leemotee I hold a minority religious viewpoint and people were asking clarifying questions so I answered them w/ @replies. Is that ok?

@leemotee all I'm saying is: everyone has a worldview. I was selected to air mine for the week. I'm aiming to be respectful and friendly.

@leemotee but don't you see the inconsistencies? 3 weeks ago the curator had an "agenda" which you agreed with- so you didn't notice.

@paudy67 but when I talk about jogging etc. hardly anyone shows any interest!

@irishstu but sure, even Jesus Himself lost one follower!

@TheEvertBopp apparently you have opinions- and you expressed them on twitter!

@leemotee everyone has opinions & worldviews. Have you heard of the supposed neutrality fallacy? I can't pretend like I don't have opinions.

@leemotee the curator before him had opinions about emigrant voting and she made that clear as well.

@leemotee re: agendas- @TheEvertBopp had strong opinions that he wanted to communicate. I recall that he asked Qs as well as gave opinions.

@swimtwobirds @leemotee it seems like every time I make a point you change the topic.

@poshknacker_1 just watched it. I find that very disturbing.

@swimtwobirds it shouldn't be in your feed- the specific tweets that you were mentioning were all @replies to Qs/comments.

@poshknacker_1 oh dear... Well it wasn't all a waste. I liked when he played the "that's my King" clip. I never get tired of that.

@swimtwobirds perhaps you should apply to be the next curator. worldirish.com has the details.

@travors we'd be lost without them!

12 ways to make the most of this awful rain! bit.ly/U3egXF HT: phil_walsh

@poshknacker_1 Is there a specific section that you want me to watch, because I don't have 1:19:53 to spare!

@poshknacker_1 I watched the first 10 minutes & haven't seen anything about supporting zionism so that Jesus can return+initiate the rapture

@swimtwobirds ... with @poshknacker_1 you can ask him if he understood it the way you seem to.

@swimtwobirds ...& that belief in such doesn't necessitate that we're actively working towards it. It was in the context of a conversation..

@swimtwobirds No. I was saying that many groups believe in world ending scenarios...

@m00ja77 hey now!

@travors great shots!

@SiobhainBella just in general! Trying to settle on a less volatile topic of conversation for today.

So...Puppies. For or against?

@DubhaileMedia Thanks!

@ejmorrissey we'll take your advice! thanks!

Thanks for the tips re: Cashel. We booked conf room @ Cashel Palace Hotel and will go to Hans for coffee.

Just a reminder that tomorrow @ 5:30 myself & some friends will be at city hall on our bikes, going for a cycle + coffee. You're invited!

@emfmcc Sounds very interesting! Mind yourself!

@swimtwobirds If memory serves, I just commented that many physicists believe the earth will end one day. Am I incorrect?

@amymergard @ElyseMurphy @michaelrmurphy I haven't gotten up to any of that yet! But the day is young!

@BertaTollick we were talking about that last night in comm group. The way to show love+devotion to God is by loving+caring for neighbours!

@psneeze He's amazing isn't he? I love The Holy Ploughland.

@emfmcc A bit late - but buongiorno to you too! What's going on in Rome today?

@casabeca Ya - very happy to be part of the @CalvaryChapel network.

@swimtwobirds I don't expect everyone to agree w/ me. But I certainly don't think anything I said made me seem certifiably insane.

@swimtwobirds And, if there is a God, wouldn't He know who His true followers are? The apostle Paul seemed to think so (2 Tim 2:19)

@swimtwobirds anytime someone prays the Lord's Prayer they affirm that there is a coming kingdom. Do you believe that they are also insane?

@swimtwobirds Sorry to have irritated you! I RT'ed tweets from every perspective that I heard from. Not trying to dominate the conversation.

I'm going to be in Cashel for an all day meeting on Friday w/ 6 others. Can anyone recommend a good place to drink coffee, eat & chat?

@casabeca nope- high school sweetheart! She came out to join me.

@BertaTollick it's a great book. Early church called Isaiah "the fifth gospel".

@casabeca attended Bible college on Germany- hitchhiked to Cork, was planning on staying a few weeks, now it's been nearly a decade!

@Celticsleftwing touché!

Here's another song for ye this morning; this one from Cork's own Ger Wolfe goo.gl/kDHEx

@Celticsleftwing ...and you are entitled to that opinion. I'd rather read soaring prophetic poetry over Kellogg's promotions anyway!

@DoHoBOB what sort of historian are you?

@Netherlanders Irish people as well! "Not very nice out today, is it?"

@TheGrimRecapper well; if you ever make that 500 metre journey I really hope you are made to feel welcome!

@casabeca our church is affiliated w/ Calvary Chapel. I wonder what you mean by "Chuck Smith devotee" though.

@TheGrimRecapper ah right! Do you ever pop in?

@TheGrimRecapper @amymergard is that metres or miles!?

@amymergard there's a few CCs in Australia I'm sure. Ever come across them?

@borogovedub and when I do drink tea, it's always Barry's! But I'm a Cork man so you can't blame me!

@GoldenTriumph thanks for the Venezuelan wisdom! Appreciate it

@najmi_hayat morning najmi! What's your connection to Ireland?

Reading Isaiah 61-62 and having breakfast with my son. pic.twitter.com/ECQrMC8y

@DoHoBOB They say you shouldn't discuss politics or religion in public. I think both are acceptable- as long as you aren't a jerk about it.

@amymergard we're part of a network called @calvarychapel ; however, prefer to be known simply as Christians, if possible! :)

@casabeca thanks! One of the elders in our church wrote it. His whole blog is great : anglandicus.blogspot.ie

@WeAreAustralia most of it. It's hard to find them on YouTube. Can you recommend a site where we can get full episodes?

@WiseMona very wise- you live up to your account name!

@borogovedub but, I'm having neither. I'm drinking some amazing Ethiopian Yirgacheffe coffee that I made in my chemex. pic.twitter.com/f8Shd9gp

@borogovedub aw come on! I thought we were trying to AVOID controversy today!!!!

I'm pretty sore this morning- but I couldn't say which is more more worn out, my legs or my thumbs!

Good morning to each of you 9,580 wonderful people! During yesterday's long discussion on Christianity I lost one follower and gained 20.

@poshknacker_1 I hope to keep this conversation going tomorrow! Good night!

@poshknacker_1 just off to bed now-so haven't watched the video. Jesus will do whatever He wants whenever He wants. He's not dependant on US

@sweden hi again Sweden! Just wanted to let you know I wore this shirt today in honour of you! pic.twitter.com/nT1tklEN

@LaurelHounslow I agree. Very good holistically. I'm so thankful to God for my close friends.

Ancient Irish thoughts on friendship & community in the church. goo.gl/42mnf

@Marcc68 Have a good night!

@WeAreAustralia I watched all their NY Gap Year season. Those two are hilarious!

Great evening @ community group tonight! A group of us get together to discuss the sermon from Sunday &how to apply it pic.twitter.com/okZrLx6p

@amymergard Thanks Amy! :)

@WeAreAustralia on another note; my wife and I LOVE Hamish and Andy. Are they a big deal in Australia?

@WeAreAustralia Hi Australia; glad that you enjoyed it! I thought it was a great discussion.

@monsieurquinn @PaulClancyNL If you give respect, you get respect.Also - I aim to apply goo.gl/tHwgM to these sorts of conversations

@PaulClancyNL @monsieurquinn I had no idea it would generate so much response! I thought it went really well. Great to get positive feedback

@Marcc68 I don't really know Marcc. Genesis 1:1 doesn't have a time stamp on it!

@msannaandersson Thanks so much! Really kind of you to say!

@parisdreams2014 There's a lot of self identified Christians all over the world, but God knows who are truly His. bible.cc/2_timothy/2-19…

@TheClotheslines and I'm your 500th follower as well!

@TheClotheslines you're very kind! Thanks a lot.

@Evan_Broderick It already did; and @DoHoBOB fired the first shot!

@poshknacker_1 @ferguskelly I used to love that song, by the way. One of the first Crass songs I ever heard. My friend put it on a mix tape.

@poshknacker_1 coming, but Christians know that the timing is up to God, not to us. No amount of politicizing can hasten the kingdom coming.

@poshknacker_1 don't know of any group thats actively seeking the end of the world. All Christians (+most physicists) believe there's an end

@DoHoBOB do I smell a bit of controversy already?

@Nerin_ Thanks Neil - you asked some good questions. Great interacting with you so far!

@yarrumk Sorry Keith. Hope the next curator shows more restraint!

If anyone in #Cork wants to talk in person about this (or anything) I'm inviting everyone for a cycle+coffee Thursday 5:30 meet @ CityHall!

Maybe tomorrow we can discuss something less controversial - like puppies!

I had no idea this would solicit such a response! Thanks for all your feedback, sorry if there were too many RTs, just wanted to be fair

Ill leave you with a link; its a 5min clip of me attempting to answer the Q.More than 140characters so you dont have to goo.gl/3VdMT

This has been great time; but believe it or not; I have other things to do today so I'm going to have to head away!

@MrTomBlake check out the doc "collision" - @douglaswils & Chris Hitchens debate and drink beer together. I tweeted a link earlier.

@NoMansWoman I'd say that Jesus rescues US from religion.

@travors let's do that!

@Nerin_ the bible is a big book with lots of different kinds of literary genres in it. I try to approach each as God's word & also a genre.

@Nerin_ I interpret poetry poetically, history historically, parables parabolically, and wisdom literature according to its genre.

@adi_nordin @nerin_ LOADS! :) (too many my wife says!) pic.twitter.com/j4wxMgmm

@NoMansWoman it would be an interesting study to look up the term "head of the church" in the Bible. Who is it pointing towards?

@PaulAnthonyWard thanks Paul! Trying to put 1 Peter 3:15-16 into practice. mobile.biblegateway.com/passage/?searc…

@travors give me a shout if you're ever coming to Cork; I'd love to chat in person!

@Julian_Lee76 yikes.

@Contrepeter monomania! Nice word. Love it.

@drgoretex you've got a wise father-in-law!

@travors only for 15 minutes!!!!

@LandersIE not one bit!

@ferguskelly @poshknacker_1 However, as you can imagine, I've got a pretty different way of looking at things now!

@ferguskelly @poshknacker_1 "Am I punk yet?" Great song! - Crass always was no.1 in my book. They really shaped my worldview as a teenager

@redmadden Have you seen this? Collision - The Movie (Christopher Hitchens Vs. Douglass Wilson) (Full feature) youtube.com/watch?v=1REI31…

@redmadden I've skimmed it in a shop.I plan on reading it later. Hitchens was an amazing writer wasn't he? Wrong. But clever!

@travors Just cos you're an internet celebrity doesn't mean you don't have to explain your beliefs!!! :)

@paudy67 poke away! If I'm wrong I want to know! No point wasting my life on something that has been disproven, right?

Does anyone think that I am pushing a personal agenda? @keithdkennedy

@TheSonicScrew @travors But I know it's possible that I'm wrong on a few things. That's why I emphasise core beliefs so much.

@TheSonicScrew @travors we see ourselves as 1 expression of the Christian faith, along w/ others. I hope that we've gotten everything right

@TheSonicScrew @travors Very very few Christian denominations believe that they are the one true church.There's a rather large on in Ireland

@Nerin_ I learn so much from modern scholars, ancient church fathers and many writers who have come inbetween!

@Nerin_ However; it isnt the same as what some people call SOLO Scriptura, which says that the Bible is the only book we should ever read.

@Nerin_ I believe in a doctrine called Sola Scriptura, which means "scripture alone" as the source of authority in matters of faith+practice

@drgoretex Wow! I love that answer. Makes me think of Romans 5:8 biblegateway.com/passage/?searc…

@jacqs70 I've read that It is going down in europe, but up everywhere else.

@colm_ryan that is a bigger Q, you are right! How do you think we could ever know an answer to that? Seems like a very subjective topic.

@Nomes25 glad to hear it! I was told not to discuss politics or religion in public because it makes people uncomfortable :)

@colm_ryan ...some a severe doctrinal schisms where it seems that a group has deviated from historic Christianity.

@colm_ryan I can't pretend that the varying beliefs w/in Xianity haven't been a cause of division. some are merely stylistic preferences...

@LandersIE since we're living in a post-Catholic increasingly secular country & I think it's great & necessary to interact w/ varying views

@travors I don't think you're coming off as rude one bit! Christianity makes some vast claims & it invites critical questioning.

@craftybecky the book I recommended is a scholarly & conservative defence of historic Christianity; check it out! amazon.com/Reinventing-Je…

@poshknacker_1 Crass was my favourite bands for years. They were pretty clean living as well! Fugazi weren't the only ones!

@GuyLeJeune I agree but here's the real question: CAN we get through a day without being evil?

@poshknacker_1 which group do you think is more likely to have got it right?

.@travors good Q:our upbringing def plays a part in who we become. If you were raised in 5th century Arabia you prob wouldn't be an atheist

@RuthieFizz I actually made a typo- I should have said in the original tweet "wouldn't be an athiest" Didn't make that much sense...

@RuthieFizz no, polytheism was, followed by the rapid rise of Islam.

@travors ... yet it seems I have to give a defence for MY belief that there are many (in Ireland & Thailand) who I hope do the same thing.

@travors So you were brought up in a certain religious context, educated yourself, & went in opposite direction towards the 'truth'...

@chriscrumble right so!

MT“@omegar24: Believer in and follower of the teachings of Christ! As not all self described Christians are!"

@jacqs70 2.18 Billion...and I feel like about half of them are tweeting me right now! Trying to reply to everyone in the order they came in

@jmltoo I'm jotting down his name now. Thanks for passing it on!

@Nerin_ But that said, we don't aim to teach anything new or novel - just the historic Christian faith in a relevant modern way.

@Nerin_ I'm a pastor of a church called @CalvaryCork that aims to be a modern expression of the ancient church. How's that for a slippery A!

@colm_ryan I had a friend in 2ndary school that always said "We're all 70% water." But Christians definitely do have some distinct beliefs.

Hopefully all these RTs aren't annoying. I think the diversity amongst the answers is really interesting.

@travors on a completely different note: you made Garfield minus Garfield!? I LOVE your work!

@paudy67 Jesus referred to them as actual people. I don't think I'm smarter than Jesus! :)

@RichardScriven ps a guy called Joseph Scriven from Dublin wrote one of my favourite hymns. Any relation?

@RichardScriven love it. Jesus said those two laws are the summary of all that came before Him. Mark 12:28-31

@NIALLC4 I know of several churches with free wifi by the way! ;)

@darraghdoyle ill put it in the post in the coming week! pic.twitter.com/MiN6qcOz

“@RichieFrancis86: It should be someone who believes the message and teachings of Jesus and follows them.”

@johnlepo that's what I was hoping! Because every question or tweet is going to exclude someone! :)

@poshknacker_1 but: I think it's great to get all these varied responses. Very very cool to see!

@poshknacker_1 CS Lewis spoke often about 'Mere Christianity' focusing on essentials that every Christian believes. I'm looking for that

@chriscrumble sorry Christian! Don't take it personally- people say mean things about me too!

@travors however- you still hold that your position is true; even though it is a rather recent European phenomenon.

.@travors good Q:our upbringing def plays a part in who we become. If you were raised in 5th century Arabia you probably would be an atheist

@GuyLeJeune people don't get crucified just for saying "be nice."

@GuyLeJeune Yes! I'm not saying that what he said wasn't true- but that it wasn't true enough!!! Jesus had far more to say than"be nice"

@x7o ...but I'm not sure he would ever consider himself to be a Christian.

@x7o Thomas Jefferson created his own abridged Bible that he called 'The Life & Morals of Jesus of Nazereth'

@Ruaidhri_ I think an imposed theocracy leaves a bad taste in everybody's mouth.

@jmltoo I think this is a beautiful quote! I'm unfamiliar with the author though. What can you tell me about him?

@paudy67 Yes, I believe the O.T. is trustworthy & true. The way Jesus referred to & quoted it means He thought so as well.

@phil_walsh it is! The last 4 miles were so hard!

@darraghdoyle where are you based? Ill get you a copy

@darraghdoyle absolutely! A great book that I'd recommend re: Nicea/'missing' gospels is Reinventing Jesus by Komoszewski/Sawyer/Wallace

@johnlepo can you explain what you're referring to?my question or @tannerydungarva 's answer ?

@GuyLeJeune it's hard to disagree with the great Douglas Adams, but I would have to say he missed the mark there!

@WeAreFilipinos interesting! What would you say the difference is between a fan and a follower? Facebook vs Twitter? ;)

@Ruaidhri_ sounds like you are speaking from a bit of personal experience?

@x7o 'not necessarily a theist.' Very interesting! So would you say that there are true Christians out there who don't believe in God?

@craftybecky that's really good! I thought of 1 John 4:19 when I read your tweet.

@TanneryDungarva why would you say they don't have to think about being "good" -what do you mean by that?

@darraghdoyle sorry for that blast of tweets- I get excited about this sort of thing :)

@darraghdoyle of the scriptures to make sure we are understanding what the author (both human and divine) is telling us. Cf. Craig Blomberg

@darraghdoyle ...accurately reflect the original documents. Bruce Metzger is probably top of that field. / and hermeneutics is the study...

@darraghdoyle - to those questions. Textual criticism is the research involved in making sure that the translations that we have today...

@darraghdoyle those are some fantastic points about translation issues and authorial intent. There are two whole fields of study dedicated-

Here's a quick question: How would you define "Christian" in 140 characters!

@darraghdoyle ...so we do need to ask 1) what does this mean (history) - AND- 2) what does this mean to me (personal application)

@darraghdoyle that being said- we do need to do the work of interpretation, many of the practices/concepts are foreign to 21 cent Ireland...

@darraghdoyle i believe that they are true historical documents that accurately record the acts& words of Jesus.

@psneeze I prefer to think of it as open book religion:) we look tothe scriptures as authoritative &church history&denominations as HELPFUL

.@darraghdoyle rather than as a denominational affiliation. Our love, loyalty & devotion is to Jesus, not to a church denomination.

Hi @darraghdoyle I'm a leader in a church called @CalvaryCork which is part of broader network but prefer to define ourselves as Christians

@nicoletaristeiu flew into Bucharest and spent the whole week in a tiny tiny village preparing for a wedding.

@TWkLGBTQ most deists would say that God cannot be known personally.

@drgoretex it got tricky the longer I went and the more tired I got. My hands got a bit shakey towards the end! But The show must go on!!!

@NLIreland oh! You must mean BTPR! Stands for Brooktown Punk Rock. A crew I was with growing up. Sketchy tattoo huh?

@NLIreland I don't know; why so you ask?

Eating a peanut butter & banana sandwich, drinking loads of water, reading Isaiah 59-60. I've got a long run planned for this morning!

@redmadden hey thanks! (?)

@ilkita it's a really interesting idea isn't it? I just discovered it about a month ago and now I'm curating!

@nicoletaristeiu let's just say it was a lot more rural than she expected!

@GaelicPony what's the craic?

@phil_walsh it was a magical evening!

@AnAnonymouse @naomimindy there's some sort of bike rental scheme in Dublin (not sure of the details) but nothing like it in Cork. Yet!

@melomys The midge count was low today! Running near water at dusk is beautiful- but it it has its hazards.

Welcome home dinner with Rachel now. Phone off for the next while. Talk to ye later!

Back from a run; short and sweet. Vital stats: Avg page: 7:30 min miles Midges ingested: 1 High fives offered: 13 High fives received: 8

@LeedsBookClub going to dinner now- will check them out this evening. Thanks for thinking of me!

@ilkita hope we don't disappoint!

@sweden and I love the Refused!

@phil_walsh that sort of efficiency is what keeps you on top Phil!

@JeremyTaxman i should hope not! but she had to wrestle her cardigan out of a thieving old ladies hands!

Just completed a 3.34 mi run - 13 days to go #dublincitymarathon. rnkpr.com/a22g3bx #RunKeeper - good pace for a short distance.

@LeedsBookClub it's not my preferred genre so I am, admittedly, out of the loop and behind the times!

My wife's back, safe and sound from Romania! And... Man she's got some stories to tell!

@LeedsBookClub I've actually never heard of any of those bands. I'll have to check them out!

@sweden Hi Sweden; how are you? This is Ireland here, just saying hello!

Credit where credit is due; I stole this music idea from previous @ireland curator @EvertB

Such a long, dreary, but worthwhile buildup to the crescendo. I think it's their best song ever.

I'm planning on tweeting some of my favourite songs by Irish artists this week. Today it's Santa Maria by the Frames. goo.gl/nN8Wc

@NaomiMindy I think it's a fantastic idea though. The more bicycles on the road the better I say!

@NaomiMindy the video shows a bit of waterproofing. But; whether it can survive an Irish winter is yet to be seen!

@zetgem Brilliant - Blarney's fine, but the city is far better; in my humble opinion!

Have you heard about the €15 cardboard bike? irishtimes.com/newspaper/brea…

@zetgem When were you in Cork, Andrew?

@I_amGermany no wait; that's not true, i had leftover shepherds pie! I spent a week in Munich once. Amazing city.

@I_amGermany I'm not sure; your tweet reminded me that I haven't had breakfast yet!

@fhayesmccoy Ironic that you'll have to stop working in order to listen to a guy talk about working!

@I_amGermany Hi Germany - this is Ireland! How's it going?

@fhayesmccoy Let me know if you listened to the Keller talk & if you agree or disagree with what he's saying.

@shaunabrowne Google 번역...

@shaunabrowne 멋진 !

@shaunabrowne That's fantastic! What brought you to Korea? Do you plan on staying there long term?

@curlydena I wish that was true...

@Phil_walsh check out "Made for Stewardship" Dr Tim Keller on the Christian doctrine of work goo.gl/40kix

@mrs_bopp I think that's a conversation you should be having with @evertb ! :)

Is work a curse or is work a gift? Would love some feedback on the previous link.

Here's a talk worth listening to on a Monday am:"Made for Stewardship" Dr Tim Keller on the Christian doctrine of work goo.gl/40kix

@mrs_bopp hope it's not patronising! But I found it a big challenge to fulfil work&parent responsibilities-maybe others can multitask better

Made a new friend rather quickly; if words like "peaberry" and "yirgacheffe" mean anything to you, check out @coffeeculture

I hope to get into some fun and meaningful conversation with ye throughout the upcoming week. But now I'm listening to podcasts + cleaning!

So anyway; a bit about myself-I'm a Christian/father/husband/pastor/jogger/reader/coffee nerd who has lived in Cork city 9+ years.

@coffeeculture I'm finishing up my supply of Ethiopian YirgeCheffe at the moment. Love it!

@SixDegreesIE @colmcoyne Thanks so much! It's a bit overwhelming! I think I got more twitter interaction in an hour that I got all last week

@GuyLeJeune well, I deleted one album - but kept the other one!!!!! ;)

@GuyLeJeune Great song! We played it at our wedding actually!

@GuyLeJeune listening to Television Personalities at the moment.

@GuyLeJeune actually I was cleaning up my harddrive the other day and I deleted a Damned album. They never were my favourite.

RT @guylejune He listens to the / Damned as he pounds the long streets / running for Jesus. Mike's Monday Haiku. Welcome. - I'm speechless!

@GuyLeJeune Oh my goodness! I've never been the subject of a haiku before! Thanks so much!

@coffeeculture Life is too short to drink bad coffee.

I've said it before & I'll say it again: : : : Single parents are HEROES.

...for a week in Romania for a wedding, and she comes home today. Loads of cleaning, laundry + washing up to be done in the meanwhile.

Right so; back. Beautiful crisp morning in Cork city. Mondays are usually my day off, but I'll be busy enough today. My wife was away...

@coffeeculture thanks for the RT - seems like we'd be friends. I'm definitely a "home enthusiast' !

@austinstacksabu He's not in training anymore, he's a working guide dog. A big help with my son.

@fionakearney Thanks so much. I'm not a born & bred Corkonian, but I'll do my best!

@ZwartblesIE Great shot! And I remember when I figured out that breakfast = break fast.

@WiseMona @wholesomeIE @cataclysmicha @BeeForBattens @Nerin_ @coffeeculture Thanks guys - Beautiful crisp morning in Cork.

At the moment I'm scrambling to get my son & his guide dog to school on time. Ill check in again later!

Good morning to each of the 9,561 followers of this account! I'm @mikeneglia and I'm honoured to curate for the week.
