Just looking at 'O Pat' from this Warner Brother cartoon & I can imagine his voice perfectly. O Pat was my first glimpse at a leprechaun - as I have no doubts many others!
O Pat & O Mike ..O Toole (I think) lol. Happy St. Patricks day! The only gold I have is my paint!
I'm not big on promoting holidays that encourage alcohol & St.Pattys is a big one.
Alcohol is a drug & finally, it is being addressed as such coming with health warnings like it causes throat cancer & more. Alcohol can make help you 'loosen up.. loosen to the point -it's the number one DRUG used for date rape. Alcohol destroys. Many don't need a holiday to "celebrate with a drink - many don't need a reason at all.. many have no control anymore & will be having a cocktail for breakfast. In my life time I've witnessed a few having a beer for breakfast.
In my lifetime I have seen too many incidents of Alcohol abuse & abusive alcoholics. It has also taken me this lifetime to understand... alcohol is one of the worst legal drugs available & it's everywhere & it is difficult to stop once addicted - we are brainwashed from toddlers to think fun can't be had without it- not true. I crave a glass of wine when I see women pouring themselves a tall glass on just about every program, movie, series out there. Songs about booze are abundant on the radio, it's every where -including every corner store, I can understand how alcoholics struggle, there is no escape from the reminders.
Today, I want to thank the Lord for everyone I know or have witnessed in my life time (including my FORMER self) who has ever got into a vehicle and driven - intoxicated and stayed safe, I now understand each time someone does this they are not only endangering themselves but endangering any other person they might meet on the journey.
Please don't.
One of the most fascinating topics in the bible (for me) has been the relationship with alcohol. On one page we are told to enjoy the sweet wine! Celebrate! BUT on others we are taught: alcohol (strong drink, or wine) in the bible is used to trick, disable and destroy. The bible warns: in moderation, or don't drink at all. So that's just one sample of how long alcohol has been a destructive problem in too many lives and still is to this date.
During the pandemic alcohol intake has increased as has domestic violence & child abuse.
It's just another day, really. Happy St. Patty's day - I hope, you avoid the wearing of the green shoes.
with TLC
