Oh, I have a wee bit o' Irish in me. Just a wee bit of Irish blood mixed in with half a dozen others.
Many love to party on St. Patrick's Day, guzzling green beer, thinking they are "celebrating" when in deed they are denigrating a great man of Christian faith by their foolish "party-hearty" attitude.
I hope you are a bit more serious minded, and if such, I hope you will take a look at the real story of the real St. Patrick as mentioned at this website and I hope this will inspire you to google a bit further into the biography of the man who brought Christianity to Ireland some 1600 years ago.

You are absolutely right. In Ireland it is a high holy day, nearly to celebrate this Saint.
How are you, haven't heard from you for awhile. Do hope all is well with you.
Happy St. PAddy's Day ~

His prayer is outstanding ...
Thanks for the link--very interesting!
Really nice posting -- and very informative!
I wonder how soon it will be before the CLU or some other anti Christian org. sues the White House for the green fountain out front? Christ is in the traditions of this country more than people realise.
I loved this story of St. Patrick. Thanks for sharing. The world does need more St. Patricks.
Glad you're back. I was worried for you too.
I showed up at Bible study Thursday morning and noticed a lot of green! I commented that apparently I had missed the memo. Duh.
I'd love to read more about St. Patrick, but honestly, I missed the celebration this year.
