2025 Monday — St. Patrick’s Day

Greg Laurie posted this today on his social media: “Lots of people think of St. Patrick’s Day as just a day for parades, wearing green, and maybe eating some corned beef and cabbage.

But the real story of St. Patrick is incredible! He wasn’t even Irish—he was actually kidnapped as a teenager and taken to Ireland as a slave. But instead of becoming bitter, he turned to Christ, and after escaping, God called him back to Ireland to bring the gospel to a pagan nation.

He spent his life preaching, planting churches, and leading thousands to Christ. That’s what St. Patrick’s Day is really about— not luck, but God’s amazing grace and the power of the gospel to transform lives. And if God could use one man to change a nation, just imagine what He can do through you if you’re willing to answer His call!”

This has been a good Monday and a good St. Patrick’s Day. Tomorrow we head to Irvine for our tax appointment, which is the reason we’re in Southern California. Then we get to return to the Central Coast.

Good night from
cold SoCal,
Rosie (& Mr. Fun), aka Carol
and Chloe & Mitzi too!
