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

Who Said That?

.

I just said something in an e-mail to one of my bloggy buddies that I really like, and so with absolutely no humility at all, I am going to quote myself here for all bloggy land to see.

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

M.L. @ The House of Whimsy said...: Wow, Keetha!! Two lovely coincidences, which I believe are actually "tender mercies of the Lord"! I still can't believe the new homeowner actually read your blog about "the house that Grandpa Mac built".
I know exactly what you mean about the passing of time and how nothing can ever stay the same...except family. I'm so happy for the knowledge that we will all be together one day (forever) in "the house the Lord built". : )
Take care,
