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

And The New Me Is - - -

.
Some of you have been asking about the new glasses. I was waiting until I got them to SHOW you the new me.

They came tonight, so here I am:

"A" Number One KEETHA!!!

I chose these because:

They are fun and funky, a party on my face,
And I'm all about a party on my face.

I LOVE the color, and like it on me.
I think it brings out the blue of my eyes
And the rose of my cheeks.
;-)

I like the SHAPE of these on my face.

I feel perky.

For those of you who liked
Keetha B,

Take another look.
These lenses are too close to the bottom of my eyes,

They are too wide from side to side
Across my eyes,
But too thin from top to bottom over my eyes.

They're just like a frame that
Doesn't fit the picture.

There's no spark.
No sparkle.
No party.
No fun.

Dear "B" fans,
Don't feel bad - - -
I had already ORDERED "A" when I asked your opinion.

I just wanted to see what you'd say.
