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

Be Careful Where You Fall Asleep (AKA The Trying Times of a Music Diva)

.
Somebody fell asleep this afternoon right in the midst of all of us. Our noise and activity didn't seem to phase his (her?) sleep at all, so - - -

We decided to have a little fun. First we draped a pink boa across his chest. No response whatsoever from him.

Next we readjusted the boa and gave him a tiara and lovely pink microphone. Still deep in his own little unaware world.

Next we adjusted the tiara to a better angle and put the microphone up to his mouth - - -"all the better to hear you with, my dear." Still zero response from him.

Isn't he the cutest little music diva you've ever seen?

But alas, when Korie tried to paint lip gloss on his pale little lips - - - he awoke with a start, not exactly sure where he was or what he was doing.

I should think after all the naps he's gotten when the rest of us didn't get one this is what he deserves!!!!
