Yeah I told them that story and a couple others. I might threaten to rip their freakin arms off if they're wound up like that again. Francis of Assisi needs a wicked cool statue with that name.

Last night our youth pastor said how Santa was just as important as Jesus at Christmas. I think some parents got a little edgy at that point, but it all worked out as he told the story of St Nicolas, and the three sisters and how he saved one from being sold into slavery.
Oh and BTW – kids last night were a freakin' mess. Shhhhh Sssshhhhh SSSHHHH (Shut Up!). Usually our youth pastor tells them he will "rip their arms off" or something cool like that… or we just send them to the naughty chairs in the back. Good times! So, don’t even give it another thought about yelling at the kids – trust me, they aren’t thinking about it. No one is saying “remember when Nick flipped and got all megaphone voice on us?” Yeah, that’s not happening.
PS: aside from Santa…I'm a big fan of Saint Francis of Assisi – I think it's a girly "I love animals" thing. Plus his statue looks the coolest.

I replied to Matt with a site that I got a lot of into from. You should check it if you want to know more about the real St. Nicholas. After reading some of what he did I'm wanting to learn more than just the theology side of their lives.

I know right? Makes me proud to share his name. Aquinas would rock today but out modern Christian Theologians and Philosophers destroy Dawkins et al in every debate they hold, which is why they try to avoid debates. Also I'm betting Aquinas would pimp slap Arius if he were there.

I knew you'd appreciate it. I had to explain it to my wife and when I dropped it in youth no one bit. I have a couple of students from Catholic families but they weren't really raised RCC so they didn't get it either.

PS, I want to see more stories about Saints kicking but and taking names.
