Situational Analysis – March 16, 2021

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, the day that observes the death of the patron saint of Ireland. Virtually all big celebrations this year will be held, well, virtually. 

This morning, there is news that Utah County Commissioner Tanner Ainge is resigning his position because of a hostile work environment to pursue other professional opportunities. All the best to him.And, former President Trump says the US Supreme Court should be “ashamed” that it “lacked the courage” to reverse President Biden’s win. Sigh. 

If you only have time for one thing: Catch up on the history of St. Patrick by perusing some of the numerous articles and videos about him from History.com. You might know about his explaining the Holy Trinity though the use of shamrocks and the stories of him chasing snacks out of Ireland, but did you know he was not Irish? Check it out. You could also take a minute to listen to Danny Boy, or anything from Celtic Woman.
