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

Credit Where Credit is Due

.

In the preseason game last night between the Colts and the Packers, AKA "The Beat Down of the Colts", there was ONE quarterback who was absolutely brilliant in his execution of the game.

(AP photo/Jeffrey Phelps)

His name was NOT Peyton.

This is not particularly EASY for me to admit, because just in case you have forgotten:

My blood runs Colts blue.

When I move back to the green and yellow-blooded state of my birth, I shall be able to pull for those Packer Boys - - - but NOT when they play MY boys.
