There is a light hearted story told about a young hard working farmer who one day was looking over his gate into a field. He had just drained a bog and transformed it into a green beautiful field. The parish priest happened to be walking down the road and he walked over to the gate to speak to Paddy, the busy and enthusiastic farmer. The priest casting his eye across the field said,"Isn't it great Paddy, what God can do?" Paddy, was obviously a bit peeved that God should be getting all the credit, replied, "Maybe so, but he did a damn bad job of it before I helped him out!!"
