St Pat's Day!

Happy St Patrick's Day Everyone!!!!  KISS ME I'M IRISH!!!!

Celebrating St. Patrick's Day celebrates two things for me.  My Irish heritage and my Christianity.  I am proud of my heritage and want to teach my children of the different places our family derived from.  We have Irish, Scotish, French, Native American, German, and English heritage. 

I hope that each of you with Irish ancestery and Christian beliefs will celebrate and rejoice in today.  That we will continue to keep alive our heritage and our beliefs.  In a world that seems to be more tolerant of everything, I tend to find that it is becoming less tolerent of Christianity and of European people.  Lets us not forget our heritage and our history.  Lets us be proud of who we are and where we are from.  In the rush to be politically correct and be inclusive of all peoples, let us not allow our heritage and people to be trampled and forgotten.  Each culture and group of people have come together to make this country what it is.  We are diverse and colorful, with a rich history of heritage to bring to the table.  But don't let one rise and trample on the other. 

We celebrate with pride who we are and where we are from.  Our history is a precious thing and should be celebrated with exuberance.  So put on some green and check out these web sites to brush up on your St Patrick's Day trivia and information.

I will leave you with this Irish Blessing:

"May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you
In the palm of his hand."
