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

New Kid on the Block

.

Well, he's not a kid anymore and he isn't exactly on the BLOCK, more like on the net. My "little" first cousin-once-removed, Luke has a very clever and insightful blog which he has decided to bring back to life after quite a hiatus.

I'd LOVE it if my bloggy friends and followers would go over, check out a couple of his posts, and give him a little shout out in his comments. He'll get a real "chortle" out of it.

Thanks - - - I KNEW I could count on you!!!

Luke said...: Aww! You are too kind. :) I will try to not disappoint! I do plan on keeping it up this time. For now, I won't try to make myself post every single day...I think that is how I got flustered/uninspired the first go-around. We'll see how this goes! Thanks for directing some people my way...I appreciate it. :); May 8, 2009 at 8:57 PM
