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

Korie Nae Knocks it Out of the Park

Our "Little Girl" (Korie Broyles Lance) was asked to sing the National Anthem at a drag racing event in Indianapolis which was shown on ESPN2 Sunday. It was her television debut.

She said the minute she got out of the car the exhaust fumes and bits of rubber from tires began coating her vocal chords.

She sprayed her throat.

It was her first time to sing with a TV camera right in her face.

She sang her heart out anyway.

See what you think.

She's been a poised performer ever since she was knee high to a grasshopper, and her mama is very proud of her!
