My friend sent me this e-mail today and it is so simple yet so profound. To think that the devil made me a slave to my sin! But to know that I am forgiven and no longer have to submit to his demands and bargains is awesome. Are you forgiven or still a slave to sin?

Fw: top o' the mornin' to ya
Here is the "green" breakfast the kids ate this morning.
We also let Jimmy (and yes, I did it too) dye his hair green for St. Paddy's day. He was so happy.
Payton didn't want to do it b/c he didn't ask his teach. How sweet!
St. Patrick's Day: Facts and Legends
To mark St Patrick's Day, Faith Central has compiled 10 celebratory tidbits, some myth, some fact, on the Patron Saint of the Irish.
1. The potato crop was traditionally planted in Ireland after March 17
2. Blue not green is the color originally associated with St Patrick. "St Patrick's Blue" is used on Ireland's Presidential Standard or flag, while the Irish Guards sport a plume of St Patrick's blue in their bearskins. The emphasis on green is thought to be linked to "wearing the Green", a symbol from the 18th century on, of sympathy with Irish independence.
3. St Patrick is patron of fishermen in the Loire, where a legend associates him with a blackthorn bush. The saint is said to have slept beneath it, and when he awoke the next day, Christmas, the bush flowered, and was said to have continued to do so every Christmas until its destruction during the First World War.
4. A regiment of the Mexican army in the 1846 -8 War between Mexico and America was named after St Patrick. Members of the Batellón de San Patricio included Afro-Americans freshly liberated from the slave plantations of the South, and the soldiers were granted Mexican citizenship afterwards.
5. The first St Patrick's Day parade took place in 1737 in Boston, followed in 1762 by New York. George Washington allowed his soldiers a holiday on March 17, 1780 as "an act of solidarity with the Irish in their fight for independence."
6. Until the 1970's, all pubs were shut in Ireland on St Patrick's Day, and the sole venue selling drink the annual dog show. Lenten fasting - and the obligation to abstain from meat - were lifted on the day, which most families would begin with Mass.
7. St Patrick's Day is a public holiday in Ireland and also in Monserrat "the Emerald Isle of the Carribean," so called because it was settled in 1633 by Irish migrants from St Kitts.
8. According to legend, on the day of Judgement, while Christ judges all other nations, St Patrick will be the judge of the Irish.
9. Since 1962, tons of green dye are tipped on St Patrick's Day into the Chicago river, although the quantity has reduced, for environmental reasons, from 100 to 40.
10. Should you wish to carry on celebrating St Patrick after March 17, in the United States, you might visit the four Shamrocks in the USA including Mount Gay-Shamrock, W.Va or the nine cities named Dublin, including Dublin, Ohio (the largest Dublin in the U.S.) and Dublin, Georgia.

an apple a day
Who knew? Today, March 11th, is Johnny Appleseed day :0)
Tonight I would love to find a way to incorporate this into a small lession about the fruits of the spirit with the kids. I know I have a really cute apple stamp, and a few apples laying around the house. I think as I am making dinner, I will have the kids sit down and make apple cards for their teachers and talk to them about the seed that is planted in our hearts and we all bear fruit and the fruit we bear is a testement to our faith in Jesus.
Yum! Then apples for dessert and a quick line about Johnny Appleseed, who treked across the nation to plant apple trees.
thanks Johnny!
