I received an email below from my old manager that used to work at Commerce. The email was a newsletter from The Old Farmers Almanac.
Was there really a Saint Patrick? Definitely. Did he really drive the snakes out of Ireland? Probably not. At age 16 (around A.D. 400), Patrick was kidnapped from his home on the west coast of England and carried off to Ireland. After six years, he escaped; upon returning home, he received his call (in a dream) to preach the Gospel. He spent the next 15 or so years in a monastery, preparing for his missionary work. Although some Christians lived in Ireland at the time, it was Patrick who spread Christianity throughout the land and brought an organized church into existence. We wear a shamrock on St. Patrick’s Day because Patrick used its three leaves to explain the Trinity. But, as far as we know, he never drank green beer!
I really hope you take the chance this Saint Patricks day to do as St. Patrick did. Use the Holidays symbol to teach someone about The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Happy St. Patricks day from Jet O’Scofield
Just a dude with a blog that probably shouldn't have one.
