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

Heeeeeeere's Jayden!!!

This handsome little man
Is Jayden Tejeda.

He's posing here with his mommy and daddy.
Jayden is now four months old.

He made his appearance
In this big old world
Two months early,
So he has been very busy
Just trying to get big
Enough to survive outside the NICU.

It looks like he will be going home,
With the help of several machines,
On Saturday.

And here is Kamma Keetha
Putting him to sleep.
My students say that is what I do best - - -
Put people to sleep!

Joy of joys!!
Jayden is fast asleep.
Kamma Keetha has not lost her touch!
