Quotes of Note

You're born a male but you have to CHOOSE to be a man" - Herm Edwards

"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that" - Unknown

"They err who think Santa Clause comes down through the chimney; he really enters through the heart." - Mrs. Paul M. Ell

"Thankfully, our true roots are in heritage and not things. I just need to keep reminding myself that things are only reminders of heritage." - Keetha Broyles, June 21, 2010

"Tears lubricate the soul." - from "Finding Buck McHenry"

"Somehow you must come to understand that God is love, that love is the proof of God, and forgiveness is the proof of love." - The Priest in "Levi's Will" by W. Dale Cramer

"The truth about a man is in what he does, not what he says." - W. Dale Cramer in "Levi's Will"

"Fairy Tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten." - G. K. Chesterton

All in a Day - - -

Today.

First of all, remember the kid in the pool on the back of his pick-up truck? Well, he's at it again. He asked me if he could decorate "his" study carrel in my room. Since he was the first and ONLY student to ask, and since I thought it was quite creative, I said yes.

Here'S Evan with his masterpiece:

I'm tellin' ya, these kids keep me HOPPING!!!!

My friend Rhonda, who also happens to be the mom of two of my students, sent me THIS gift today:

Are you seeing this????? POP TARTS with NCAA football logos air brushed on the icing!!! How COOL is that?

I'll tell you what's even cooler - - -

When the first one out of the box is your arch rival and you can chomp right through it!!! Hope that is prophetic of how my Badgers will treat them on the gridiron this fall.
