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

Ridin' Along in Our Automobile - - -

.
Only it wasn't an automobile, it was a PEOPLE MOVER.

And we're all people, at least I HOPE I qualify, so I guess a PEOPLE MOVER is just the thing - - -

To take us to this year's ACSI Teacher's Convention in South Bend.

Oh what fun we had along the way - - -

Talking and laughing and - - -

Telling stories about the horrors of mammograms.

Our driver, Tim, was a trapped audience.
He just shook his head and tried to ignore us.
