writing a limerick so easy and simple a little irish humor give both cheeks a dimple rainbows and leprechans have come into season but really St. Patrick has given us reason the three leaf clover so common to us settled an argument a great big fuss Father, Son, Holy Ghost one from three? St. Patrick with one clover named one for each leaf so easy so simple as anyone can see you can have one God and He His three leaves

You preached a good sermon , here , today , Rev. Loving iii . As you are also aware , the good Saint , also banished all snakes from Ireland . The only ones , remaining are the 2 legged variety ( mostly , politicians and bankers ) ....

Okay! you got John I did not think I would post a favorite. I will post this one only because I am part Irish. I love the green. I also like the fuss in the middle. The hell with it I liked the whole poem.

John iii, I think of the three leaves as the Father, His Only Begotten Son, and the Holy Ghost. Since they have appeared in the scriptures simultaneously, I think of them as three beings, but ONE Godhead. One in purpose...working together as ONE. Great analogy! (And thank you for your most welcomed comments on my blog “Another quick SURVEY- Is Monoku for you?” It was definitely fun to read with the diverse responses. Thanks for participating. BIG SMILES. Love to you. Dane Ann

I have heard different ways of describing the Trinity but this one is a new one to me, an easy way of putting it to light. Thank you for your comment John it means a lot coming from you. Blessings. Ron
