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

You'll Be Able To Hear a Pin Drop - - -

.

On this blog for the next week or so, I won't be blogging here.

Because - - - - in the morning I'm on my way to:

Costa Rica!!

From Costa Rica, we will be making updates, when possible, on our Costa Rica blog HERE. I'm told by those who went last year that internet service will be spotty, so don't get worried about us if we can't post every day.

I will be back at this blog, and fill in the blanks in about a week and a half.

No, my bags are NOT packed yet, but I DID just get my tetanus shot.

Addendum - This isn't my spring break or even a vacation. I'm going to Costa Rica as one of the sponsors with the Class of 2010 from our school. We will be working with SCORE International doing various missions projects.
