3-18-2007 in place of Pastor Bill's NewsletterThis is instead of
Pastor Bill's Newsletter as I have just gotten over being sick, besides being very busy.
There are some serious lessons from St. Patirck's life,
like (though he is not Irish) he was willing to be a slave amongst the Irish
in order to reach them with the Good News of Jesus Christ.
That is living a sacrificial life!
Then the legend that he chased all the snakes out of Ireland.
If true that is a miracle.
But maybe the truth is that St. Patirck defeated the Serpent, the devil,
i
n an island filled with Pagan Celtic and devilish traditions.
Sad to say some of those ungodly traditions are back even stronger,
not just in Ireland but also in our society;
like beliefs in Leprauchans and the belief 4-leaf clovers being more special then 3-leaf clovers. The fact that they are more rare then 3-leaf clovers is their only specialness.
Anyway, the good from St. patrick's life and some Pagan traditions that are used to celebrate it; I will leave for others to dig in deeper about.
If you members would like to discuss St. Patrick's life and traditions used to celebrate St. Patrick's Day in our
Back Issues Newsletter groupthen that would be wonderful!
Anyway here is some light-hearted humour from
The Back Pew by Jeff Larson about St. Patick's Day.
Enjoy!
Sincerely in Christ.
