It must be too early in the a.m. for green beer - that pic made my stomach do a flip-flop. It thought it was John Kerry for a moment there!
Good morning, finest folks!

Just a coating of snow yesterday, followed by sleet and rain. Spring may make a sneak appearance this weekend, right on schedule.

Good Morning
Beautiful Irish thread today.

Rather obscured in our tendency to think this day of shamrocks and leprechauns, and perhaps a man who drove the snakes out of Ireland, here is a reminder of the 'Real Story' and Real Man behind it:
Saint Patrick - The Man Who Raised the Dead
HOW PATRICK WON DUBLIN TO THE LORD OR A QUICK WAY TO EVANGELIZE A CITY (Patrick A.D.389-461)
As Patrick came near to Dublin, at that time a small village, he prophesied, "That village which is now very small, shall hereafter become very eminent. it shall be enlarged in riches and dignity. Neither shall it cease to grow until it has become the principal seat of all the kingdom."
When the people of Dublin, having heard of the great signs and miracles that were done through Patrick, and when they saw that he was coming to that village, they went out to meet him.
At this time, Alphinus was the king over Dublin. He and all the citizens were in great sorrow, for the death of the king's two children. The king's only son, called Eochadh had died a natural death, in his bedroom. The king's daughter, and a sister to the young prince, had just been drowned, in the adjoining river, now known as the Liffey.
She had ventured into the deep part, for the purpose of bathing. Her name was Dublinia, and from her Dublin is thought to have derived its name. (Joceylyn note) The young lady's body was drawn out of the waters after some considerable search, and laid by her brother's corpse, in order that their funeral rites might be solemnized together.
According to the superstition of the pagans, the tombs were prepared. In the meantime, news was spread over all the city, that "St. Patrick, the potent reviver of many dead persons," (What a reputation!) had been seen in the town. For He, who burst asunder the gates of death and of hell, smoothed the path for His servant.
A GREAT HARVEST OF SOULS
The king and the people, who before had said to the Lord, "Depart from us, we will not acknowledge any of thy ways," were so cast down and saddened with grief, that all of their rebellion and all their barbarous rudeness, and all the pride of their idolatry, were utterly subdued.
The king, hearing of St. Patrick's arrival, greatly rejoiced, and caused him to come in, where his two children lay dead. He then promised, with all those present, if God restored his children to life, that he and all the citizens would become Christians. Seeing such a gain of souls, in the sight of the king, his nobles, and all the common people, Patrick raised from death to life those princely children, whose bodily resurrection co-operated much towards the spiritual resurrection of their father, with the rest of his people. The king and all his subjects, being astonished at this great miracle, turned away from the worship of idols, and they were baptized in the well (spring).
From that day the king and all the people worshiped God and gave liberally to Patrick, so that he was able to give to the poor in that place and in other places, and have enough to build churches.

And a good morning to ye, too, lass!
I was thinking just yesterday that I feel so sorry for the youngsters today.
They haven't built their memory bank yet.
They can't sit still for hours replaying that tape in the mind, each time delightfully discovering some little facet that has been overlooked in times past.
Thank you, dear Lord, for the memories.
To: Pippin
Good mornin' to ye, Pip!
I love your tag line!
To: Pippin; mountaineer
LOL! I think I'd rather have the GREEN stuff start growing and the WHITE stuff go away!
