Happy ST Patrick's Day too you! Please don't drink and drive! As an Irishman I like to encourage my fellow shamrocks to drive carefully and be sure to not ride if you're imbibing. We want to preserve you safe and sound for your friends and family. ST Patrick was a Bible Christian. He believed in the Second Coming, The Bible only, he kept Saturday as his Sabbath, and he was not a member of the Catholic Church. He was made a saint by them, but never served in the church. He was a protestant. However that being said, my Catholic family certainly claims him! He was such a wonderful, Godly man, that people admire him and want to be associated with him. He loved Jesus very much, and beginning his ministry at the age of 40 served God and converted Ireland in just 40 years! He is a hero of the Christian faith and a great example for all of us to follow. I've been to Ireland and visited some of the areas he preached and baptized. I've sat is tiny "churches" like he used to preach in and listened to his descendant tell stories about his ministry. He has many "spiritual" children. I am one of them. To me the most important thing about this day is that a Hero of the faith lived a life to be proud of. We can honor him only by following in his footsteps and serving others as he did.
