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

When Worlds Collide

Meet JoEllen, on the left, and Marcia.

I have known JoEllen since she was a little first grader and I was her children's church leader at camp. She grew up, and for a time became a blogger. We reconnected through our blogs. That was pretty cool - - - but here's something even cooler!

Marcia I only know from her blog, 65 Roses for Marcia. I believe perhaps Marcia found me through JoEllen's blog, and that possibly it was JoEllen who encouraged her to begin blogging. I'm not sure. Anyway, now Marcia is one of my bloggyland friends.

Well, Marcia and JoEllen are "neighbors" so to speak, and friends in the REAL WORLD. So the other day, Marcia posted this picture and all our "worlds" collided - - - real and cyber.

How fun is that?

Thank you, Marcia!

JoEllen, I MISS you in blogland.

I think its so cool that you and Marcia are blog friends! I was the one who got her started on the blog. I remember running over to her house and helping her set it all up. NOW LOOK AT HER! :) We are neighbors...she lives right down the road from me. She also goes to my Church. She is also a cousin to my fahter-n-law. SO, yes a small world! So much fun!

Praying for you as you pack up and begin a new chapter in life.

HUGS!
