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

Toot Your Own Horn or Rock Your Own Guitar

.
Today there's a little "pity" party, or "toot your own horn" party or "rock your own guitar" party going on in blogland for those of us who didn't go to Nashville and the BIG blog bash. This party is the brainchild of Amanda and you too can join if you just click on the above link and follow the party manners.

Oh baby, does my blog rock!!!!! Here's why:

1) I try to make you spit and snort!!!

2) I tell stories like this one.

3) I have four grown children who have supplied me with LOTS of stories, illustrations, antics, and laughs which I GLADLY share with all of you. And WHILE we're talking about my children's antics, you'll want to be sure to see THIS example.

4) I'm married to Fisherhubby who is a good sport about it when I use him to bring a chuckle to my blogworld, sorta like I did here.

5) I'm all about eclecticity like this, this, and even this, so you'll NEVER get bored.
