Quotes of Note

"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

"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"

Jet-Set

.
Kyle, our jet-set son who is roaming around Sweden, has been updating his Face Book about his journey.

Since I don't DO Face Book, I am not seeing those updates directly, but his big sister, Keri, forwards them to me and keeps updated.

So far he is having a wonderful time and immersing himself in nature and history.

Thanks to all of you who are following his progress.

8 Bits of Witty Banter:

Lori E said...: I like to "friend request" the young ones on Facebook because I know they don't want old ladies on their pages but they also don't want to insult me. Lol.
I think it is a good lesson for them to make tough decisions in life.; August 3, 2009 3:15 PM
Kirby3131 said...: I do Facebook - love it! (It's also really becoming helpful in our high School reunion roundup lol) I'm glad you are at least getting the FB updates from your son :) I'm so glad he's having fun.; August 3, 2009 6:53 PM
TRICIA @boutellefamilyzoo said...: What an amazing opportunity! I hope he's having the time of his life. XO*Tricia; August 3, 2009 7:32 PM
Cindy said...: I LOVE fb! I keep in touch with relatives all across the country. I keep your traveling son in my thoughts and prayers.; August 3, 2009 7:40 PM
Cass @ That Old House said...: I remember when Facebook started, when Alida was a freshman in college -- so my girls have been FB since the beginning, Howard joined last year, I have held out -- no FB for me, but our dog Dion has a page.

Yes, Dion DiPoochy is on Facebook.

My girls set their FB stuff so the old folks like Howard can't see EVERYTHING. Wise children.

Glad Kyle is having a good time!

Dawn said...: I finally caved and signed up for facebook. Cause my daughter was in Romania and that's how I could keep up with her and people kept wanting to talk to my husband when I was lurking on his.

And I'm shallow and when I update my blog, I post it on facebook...... :) My husband asked, it it was all about me and I said yes!; August 4, 2009 3:33 PM
Julie said...: I've been thinking about him (and you) and wondering how he was doing!
