An early spring, huh? Brrr!!!

I was all set to get up this morning and write a blog entry about Groundhog Day, one of my all-time favorite movie comedies. Imagine my surprise when, lo and behold, Keith beat me to it. I don't know whether to thank him for saving me the effort, be angry that he cheated and posted it on February 1, or wonder about his strange mental abilities. (Get out of my head!!!) Anyway, enjoy his post. I'll try to beat him to the punch next time.

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day

So many holidays with Christian roots have been lost to secular culture. The only thing most people associate with Saint Patrick’s Day is green beer. I doubt one person in ten could tell you who Saint Patrick was. Patrick was born and raised in what is now Great Britain, but was taken captive and sold into slavery in Ireland. He ran away from his slave masters in his twenties and became a monk. Many years later he returned to Ireland as one of the first Christian missionaries there. In honor of Saint Patrick, I offer links to this good article over at Next-Wave, another article at BreakPoint, and the website of my favorite author, Stephen Lawhead, who specializes in novels based on Celtic history and mythology, including a novel based on the early life of Saint Patrick.

As they used to say on Hill Street Blues, “Let’s be careful out there today.” The green beer is flowing.
