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

Just You WAIT All You Naysayers!

"My Boy", Russell Wilson

Went 75th overall to the Seattle Seahawks in the third round of the 1012 NFL Draft .

There are LOTS of pundit naysayers, especially one with TALL HAIR who thinks he's the NFL Draft guru extraordinaire, who say Russell is too short to be an NFL quarterback.

Watch out Naysayers - - - here he comes!

I stand by "my boy." And so does Jon Gruden.

The naysayer with the tall hair is just wrong.

Sorta Southern Single Mom said...: *giggles* at the tall hair comment! Boys like this give my boy hope... He'll be lucky if he hits 6 feet!; April 28, 2012 at 7:40 AM
Ann in the UP said...: Last night I asked Good Guy, "Is Mel ever right?"---considering all the pontificating and prognosticating he does.

I think Russell has lots of other important stuff going for him since they remarked on his leadership qualities and work ethic. Height isn't everything. Time will tell---and now we get to be Seahawks fans sometimes.; April 28, 2012 at 8:12 AM
Wayne W Smith said...: I am glad you enjoy watching the draft. I did watch about 1/2 of it last night - just to be fair - and while it is not my thing - I could see how a fan could be interested. I just do not have that much invested in any sport to pay that much attention to it.; April 28, 2012 at 8:12 AM
Anita Johnson said...: I crack up every time I visit here! Enjoyed looking at your blogging space in your home. Fun to see where creative people do their thinking!; April 28, 2012 at 8:24 AM
Sandy said...: Go Russell.....Love the guy...
May have to become a Seahawks fan..
