ReplyDeleteWeedon's a Mic? I didn't know he was Irish!
ReplyDeleteWell I'll be. (Cough, hack, sneeze...)
Hey, I've got an Irish name by adoption, an English name by birth, and a Spanish honorific by assimilation. Not to mention German by acculturation.

Thanks Pastor Weedon, for reminding us what it's all about.
ReplyDeleteA very, very good start to the day.
