This morning I read about St. Patrick in my morning meditation. He was an ordinary man who felt called to spread the faith to all of Ireland. Just a regular guy in the beginning, but his legacy is obvious. He followed his heart, and today the Irish are a grateful lot! The Irish in me thanks St. Paddy. Me Murphy and Ryan and McCabe heritages (I think that covers them all) are feelin' a little spunky today. Actually, I think they are spunky every day, just a bit more today!
Yesterday began at mass with the Passion reading, a somber beginning for the day. All the songs reflective and wandering in tone...looking for the meaning of it all. Then on to Wendy's for a fun lunch with the Dedes. After a stop at Walmart, I settled in to the recliner to watch Into the Wild. Interesting. Tough to watch at the end. The kid was looking for meaning, and in the end, he found it, but it was too late for him, sadly. So much potential.
Last night I finally got to see most of the Osmonds 50th Anniversary show on PBS. It wasn't listed in the TV program, and I just happened to turn past it looking for something to watch. So I missed the beginning with Andy Williams. What a talented and entertaining family. I hope it is on DVD at Walmart like almost everything else is eventually! Marie sang her Broadway songs that we saw her do in her show in Springfield in December--awesome again. The girl has some pipes!
Also saw the Grand Ole Opry Gospel show last night. Carrie Underwood does an amazing job singing How Great Thou Art. She's got the amazing pipes too. What a gift.
A weekend highlight was seeing Paige on Saturday, just for a short while on the way out of Jacksonville. I got to watch the 3rd place at State cheerleading video while I was there. What a great performance for a little bitty school. Lots of talent in that group, and they deserved a trophy! Paige was resting on the couch after her trip to Springfield, but what I noticed was the great Paige spirit. She's got it, and that is what will carry her through. Go Paige!
