St. Patrick's Day

Well, today is St. Patrick's Day, when I am always reminded of that famous Irishman who invented outdoor tables and chairs. You remember his name don't you?

Paddy O'Furniture

St. Patrick. First he was just Patrick, a priest who won Ireland to Christ. So what do we do? We dress in green, tell jokes and limericks and drink green beer. Makes you kind of wonder if it is all worth it.

Well, it was to the Irish. They found Christ. Even amidst all the celebratin today, many will remember the life of St. Patrick and give thanks. Aren't you thankful for the person who led you to Christ?

That would be a great rule for St. Paddy's day. Have fun, but give thanks to God for the person who led you to Christ.

In the mean time, do not be weary in well doing. Just keep doing the right thing even if no one seems to be paying attention. Some will forget what your life was about, but being faithful always pays off in the end. And besides, you can sleep better at night.

It's a beautiful day in God's green world. Be sure to see the good.

Hi, it's Wednesday morning and no blog. Is everything okay with you? I'm not impatient, as this may sound, Jeff, I'm just concerned about you, more lately than some other times. I know you have much on your mind...always...and you are always so available to people who need you. How we do appreciate you!

Anyway, just checking up on you this morning. Wanted to make sure everything is okay.

M.A.
