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

Silver Threads - - -

Today Pastor Mark and Annette celebrated their 25th Anniversary.

Oh, and just look, they still LIKE each other!!! :-)

Our own amazing baker/florist made the cake,

And decorated all the tables
With fresh flowers and candles.

And just because I love our Pastor so much,
I CUT THE CHEESE
And arranged it on a serving platter.

Close up of the tables.

Which as a group looked like this.
Only, there were twelve of them
And I'm only showing six here.

Mark and Annette needed cake cutting lessons
From the florist/baker extraordinaire, Don,
Because you know, 25 years is a long time
And apparently they had forgotten how it's done.

They look pretty happy
To be holding a sharp weapon.

Annette was fearless in the face of danger.

Too cute for words.
Happy Anniversary to two of my favorite people.
Hope I'm still around when you reach 50!!!

Shannon, the LBA members gave this reception for our pastor, and yes we did it on a Sunday afternoon and then had no evening service.
