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

Learning to Dance

"Life is not about getting through the storms
But rather about learning to dance in the rain."

Well, not really. I'm older and shorter and fatter and greyer and I don't have fab hair or dance shoes and my umbrella is caved in on one side. But other than that, we could be twins!; February 7, 2009 at 6:40 PM

Julie said...: I thought of you and this post yesterday! We had great weather yest (in the 60s), before it started raining cats and dogs. The kids could have cared less about the rain though and kept riding their bikes and splashing in puddles (good thing they had rain boots). By the time we came inside they were drenched! I was trying to get the car swept quickly and everyone in the house and didn't take time to snap some pictures. I wish now I would have-they truly were "dancing in the rain!"; February 12, 2009 at 1:14 PM
Keetha Broyles said...: Oh Julie - - - and I'd FAR rather have pictures of your kids on my blog with this post than a total stranger that I stole from somewhere in cyber space!!!!!; February 12, 2009 at 4:11 PM
