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

Never Seen on the Grindstone Before - - -

These boys, Evan and Mike, got up before dawn on the first day of school and - - -

Enjoyed their last few moments of summer vacation - - -

Right in the school parking lot. Yes there really is water in that pool.

They get the award for the most original first day prank I've ever seen. Too funny!

Our brand new AD, Ben Mann, in dress clothes. First AND last time says he.

grammy said...: What a great idea!!! Doesn't require digging huge hole in yard, inexpensive to construct, portable, easy to drain during freeze. Only thing lacking is lifeguard & megaphone!!!
