What do Veggie Tales, Kings Kaleidescope and Keith and Kristyn Getty have in common? If you guessed "Links on this St. Patrick's Day Blog Post" you would be correct!
I love St. Patrick's Day! Not for the green beer or green rivers. Possibly a little for the fun Irish sayings: "Top o' the mornin' to ya!" When you step aside the silly legends, Paddy Parades, and fun frolicking, you are left with a missionary tale that points to the providence of God. (Incidentally, this story resembles a treasured Biblical account of the story of Joseph being sold into slavery- look it up - Genesis 39.)
So in our household, each March 17th, we get our green on and grab some great resources to help separate fact from fiction. In some small way, this is how we redeem the culture instead of running from it.
Check out these fun resources:
- One for the kids - Veggie Tales Classic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fg5ejLGEnZk&list=PLB5567E17B236276A
- One for the adults https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOqWT2tk9Js
- One with Kings Kaleidoscope, because they are just so cool, and because Be Thou My Vision has Irish roots, like a potato. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxP45fCBdtw
- One with the Gettys - does it get more Irish than Keith and Kristyn? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6h7nSDtW-E
