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

The Guests

.

In a sudden stroke of pure genius, I handed my camera to our friend Mike and asked him to take random shots through the ceremony and beyond.

All the pictures in these three wedding posts are his handiwork.

Thank you, Mike!

Friends and loved ones gathered round to celebrate Chris and Korie's day.

As you scroll through these pictures, imagine yourself with us.

Keri, Matron of Honor
Sister of the bride
Mother of the Ring Bearer

Greeting my former student.

It's just too bad I couldn't be a tiny bit animated.

Chris' Notre Dame friends.

Yes, our son-in-law is a Notre Dame grad!

Diane and Keetha
Displaced LCS Teachers
Forever friends.
