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"

Imagine My Surprise When - - -

AKA "The Continuing Saga of the SS Boys"

If you have no idea what I'm talking about, look here first, then look here for the original stories.

Now, back to this post - - - Imagine my surprise early Sunday morning on my rounds to deliver SS attendance papers, long before anyone else was supposed to be at church, when I opened that now infamous boy's SS classroom and beheld this:

Oh, they were doing great possum imitations!!! Wanted me to believe they had spent the night there.

Would I please turn off the light so they could keep sleeping?

These boys are creative - - -

I'll give them that.

Don't they look so cute when they're sleeping?

Just like angels.

Oh, but don't be fooled!!!!!
