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

Susan and the Indian Paintbrush

.

I am fresh out of blogging ideas.

I've got nothing serious.

I've got nothing funny.

I've got nothing!!!

Black-Eyed Susan Profusion

And since I don't garden - - - I thought I'd show you a couple of pictures of "God's Garden," otherwise known as wild flowers growing in the - - - - YOU GUESSED IT - - - in the wild!

The ONLY creative thing I did for this post was take these photos while we were doing our summer roamings.

Indian Paintbrush

That's all for today folks - - - I HOPE my creative juices return soon.

Thanks for visiting.

You know... think on this...I was watching Dirty Dancing with Patrick Swayze and the female dancer says.,"Ladies, God wouldn't have given you maracas if he didn't want you to shake them!" relevance...no idea but God didn't give you your great sense of humor if he didn't want you to use it! ;-); August 10, 2010 at 10:11 PM
Kristin - The Goat said...: Maybe you need to oil that funny bone? Is it stuck?

I love Black-eyed Susans. My Mom had a whole back part of her yard of them and I swear that's why I go home in October, so I can see it. I think she's dug up most of them and given them away, but I'm sure there are still a ton of volunteers still growing :)

Ann in the UP said...: Yeah, like Ester said....
