Lunch with the Alpha Gamma Delta's

Saturday, March 27th, Kellye and I went down to Montevallo to spend the day with Jessi for her sorority's 'Family Day.'

They had different awards and recognitions to give out to the high average sisters, which was most of them.

Jessi's grades didn't count from last semester since she went to Calhoun, where she did make the Dean's List with a 4.0 average.

We went to this Bed and Breakfast down the street from the University.They had everything set up very nice and served us a good BBQ lunch that was catered in.

The "Sisterhood" sang for us two of their many songs.

This is the Jessy Alfonso, Jessi's roommate and the president of the Alpha Gamma Delta's.

I finally got to meet her after all this time. She's very nice and I understand why Jessi loves her so much.

While there, I took some sneak peak pictures of the girls' dorm room.

Recognize any of the posters on the walls? Yea, it's all Harry Potter, Twilight, and Lord of the Rings. Again, now we know why Jessi loves Jessy so much. : )

**Ahh. . . . to be young again **

St. Patrick's Day - March 17th

I know it's not St. Patrick's Day yet, but I didn't have anything else to blog about so I'm a week early. That only proves that there's a first time for everything.

As a 14 year old boy, St. Patrick was captured in a raid on his home land of Britain to become enslaved by the Druids from the land that is now known as Ireland. His main job was to tend to herds of sheep. While there,  he relied on God to get him through everything he had to endure. He also learned the language of the people, as well as, their ways of life. Then, after having a dream from God, he went to the coast  where he escaped by a ship that was sailing to Britain. He entered the ministry, and later in life became a Bishop. He was sent to Ireland, which was a heathen country, to spread the Gospel. He is known for ridding the land of snakes, and supposedly, even to this day, there are no snakes in Ireland.

He used the three leaves from the clover to show the Trinity of God. That's why the 'Shamrock' is sufficient when observing St. Patrick's Day. I guess when we find a four leaf clover, it can be considered lucky because it reminds us that as Christians, we are the fourth leaf connected to God.

St. Patrick lived in poverty most of his life, but did great things for God. He died on March 17, 461AD; therefore, we celebrate his life on the date he died.

This story reminds me of Joseph's story. He was sold by his brothers into slavery which was at the time a horrible thing for him to go through. But in the end, God's plan was revealed that He used Joseph to save a nation - Israel.

St. Patrick was taken from his family and enslaved, but would later use what he learned to come back and witness to the people so that many were saved by the grace of God.

Happy St. Patrick's Day Everyone!
