Feeling my Irish today, celebrating St. Patrick's Day. My great grandfather, Patrick Lynn (1845-1897) immigrated from Mayo, Ireland to Scranton, PA where I'm from. Like many of the Irish they became coal miners in Scranton. He died in a mining accident. His son, John "Jack" Lynn did as well. It was a way of life, and death. Reminds me of the Cross, but just the opposite: it's a way of death that leads to life. Happy St. Patrick's Day.
