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

Two Totally Unrelated Thoughts

This is how our Youth Pastor preached today:

Oh yes he did.

He mangled his knee in every way imaginable earlier this spring, and is only about two weeks post-surgery.

Several of the teen boys carried in the recliner, side tray, and Mountain Dew just before the sermon - - - making quite a production of it. Might as well make the most of it - - -

And now this totally unrelated item:

In honor of the NFL draft, my feet "sported" these "kicks" all weekend long!

I plan to pay it forward this week...I have to blog a few days in a row to get folks back hooked on my blog... :)

Kristin - The Goat said...: I had to ask my husband who the two players were that you mentioned on my blog LOL I don't know anyones name. I just cheer for the Green and White!

The pastor - sounds like he's had a rough couple of weeks. How funny about the recliner.

I looked quickly at the football flipflops and thought that they were mini hotdogs! LOL; April 26, 2009 at 9:10 PM
Keetha Broyles said...: Jewel, I didn't see your mom at WV. Too bad, I would have liked to talk to her.

Raise Them Up said...: LOVE the flip flops! What a riot! Did you wear them to school? I'm thinking your students would have gotten a kick out of them. :); April 27, 2009 at 11:36 AM
Marie Anne said...: Aren't we supposed to be witnesses in whatever setting we find ourselves? Kudos to your pastor for the 'git r done' attitude, and for the teens that helped him.

j said...: I could see an entire sermon revolving around that recliner. It doesn't take a pew to come to Christ - you can pray and ask Him into your heart RIGHT where you are! Including a brown recliner!!

Woo Hoo! I'm pumped up!

Keetha Broyles said...: And we would have loved it if you were there too!!!

I asked Jeff, AFTER THE FACT - - - what he would have done if I'd walked right down front to snap the picture. He said I SHOULD have and he would have had some wise crack to make about it.

Next time - - -; May 1, 2009 at 5:08 PM
