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

It's Friday, Let's Check Out the Sky!!!

God's paint brush - - -

Colored this sun set sky in hues of

Violet and pink

Same sky, different night - - -

Painted gray and white with a splash of ochre.

Not just the sky - - - but the late afternoon sun creating such gorgeous patches of light and dark.

I know I've posted pictures like these before - - - but every time it happens, it's new all over again.

Leigh of Tales from Bloggeritaville said...: And THAT my dear is another reason why I adore you, you are able to see these things clearly. Take it in, appreciate it fully. Its a major stageshow and every night it is a different event, touching each and every one that truly can appreciate and take it in.
Keetha, it reminds me of this...

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

Frost. I love it.; June 5, 2009 at 11:31 PM
Leigh of Tales from Bloggeritaville said...: God is GReat, isn't he.
He blesses us daily and richly with his work that can be seen all around us in nature, if we will jsut stop. BE STILL. And observe.; June 5, 2009 at 11:33 PM
