Hi Everybody!
(((HUGS)))
I think we should plan a celebration when this dirt bag takes his well-deserved dirt nap.
Did you have any special activities...singing, dining with family?
Did Tippy wear green?
Now that appeals to me A LOT!! 😁
Mostly just hung out with Tippy Today.
Since she is a rascally Aussie, there’s some Irish Heritage there. LOL!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! This is one of my favorite days on the calendar.
I was taught by some very sweet and smart Irish nuns, first of all. One taught our class how to dance the jig, She was a wonderful lady!
Secondly, my husband’s father was born today, 100 years ago! He left us many years ago, but he was a great Dad. Still miss Pop!
So though I have little if any Irish DNA, I do have a bit of Irish “blood” in me. ;)
We’ve been listening to Irish music since about 4 pm, and going to watch “Waking Ned Devine” in a little bit.
~ Happy St Patrick's Day! ~

A tear for Ireland, after 800 years of trying to be free, now bends the knee and becomes slaves to the EU and Third World invaders.
Too true!
Hope the weather allowed you 2 to get outside for some fun.
"The Charitable Irish Society of Boston organized the first observance of Saint Patrick's Day in the Thirteen Colonies in 1737." (Wiki)
Now God seen some sinnin' and it gave Him pain
And He says, "Stand back, I'm going to make it rain!"
He says, "Hey, brother Noah, I'll tell you what to do --
Build me a floating zoo."

Bible in a Year :
God said to Moses, “I am who I am.”
Jack, a professor of philosophy and literature, had a brilliant mind. He’d declared himself an atheist at the age of fifteen and in adulthood adamantly defended his “atheistic faith.” Christian friends tried to persuade him. As Jack put it, “Everyone and everything had joined the other side.” But the Bible, he had to admit, was different from other literature and myths. About the Gospels he wrote: “If ever a myth had become fact, had been incarnated, it would be just like this.”
One Bible passage became most influential to Jack—Exodus 3. God was calling Moses to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. Moses asked God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh?” (v. 11). God responded, “I am who I am” (v. 14). This passage is a complex play on words and names but reflects God’s eternal presence from the beginning. Interestingly, later Jesus echoed the same when he said, “before Abraham was born, I am!” (John 8:58).
Jack, better known as C. S. Lewis, was deeply persuaded by this passage. This was all that the one true God should need to say—simply that He is the “I am.” In a life-changing moment, Lewis “gave in, and admitted God was God.” This was the beginning of a journey for Lewis toward accepting Jesus.
Perhaps we struggle with belief, as Lewis did, or maybe with a lukewarm faith. We might ask ourselves if God is truly the “I am” in our lives. .
Reflect & Pray
What does it mean to you to hear God say, “I am”? How might it influence your days ahead?
Dear God, I come to You in awe of who You are. You are the “I am” in my life, and there is no other.
This morning was miserable and rainy, but later on the sun came out and it was beautiful.
Enjoy your evening.
Happy St. Pat's Day! 😁
