waky waky church... get it?

Now I say to you that you are Peter (which means 'rock'), and upon this rock I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it. (Matt 16:18)

¹⁵ When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?”
“Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.”
Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.”
¹⁶ Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”
He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.”
Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.”
¹⁷ The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”
Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.”
Jesus said, “Feed my sheep.
(John 21:15-17)

I am pretty sure that Jesus was not just making conversation at the last supper.  I am pretty sure that His words rank higher than any other authors we might find cool to quote... and, I am pretty sure, that Love is meant to be an action and not just feel good reading/preaching material. Why then are we still having moms and their children who make the news?

feeling IRISH today?

Traditionally " St. Patty's" day is a excuse to get sloshed; eat some corned beef with cabbage; watch a blarney movie or a parade with the kids.
Having met some authentic Irish folk, the Saint Patrick Day celebrations go way, way deeper into a history that shaped the culture of the Irish people.

It begins with: "Throughout the Famine years, nearly a million Irish arrived in the United States. Famine immigrants were the first big wave of poor refugees ever to arrive in the U.S. and Americans were simply overwhelmed. Upon arrival in America, the Irish found the going to be quite tough. With no one to help them, they immediately settled into the lowest rung of society and waged a daily battle for survival."

With millions of children in the US living in poverty single moms are faced with the longest compassion famine in history. Step up to the plate, revelers.

This year let's celebrate the Irish with respect. Share your pot of gold with a struggling family, and for the Irish's sake, drop some "green" in their pockets.  It will bring you luck, I guarantee it.
