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

A List of Unrelated Items

.
1) Hubby just asked me to go to the Y with him. Now, while I've been WANTING to start going there to get some much needed exercise - - - I HOPE you will appreciate that I have my PRIORITIES STRAIGHT so I stayed home to continue working on my blog before the day's NCAA football games begin.

2) Shelli - - - even now, as I type this, my FINAL convention trip picture is resizing!!! HALLELUJAH

3) Blog buddies - - - - pray for my sweet friend Betsy, she is going through difficult days. You can read about it here.

4) Grab a box of kleenex, then go read this. No I mean it. GO NOW and read it. There you will find the absolutely most touching words from husband to wife that I've ever seen in print. BooDaddy could teach husband seminars, and when he comes to Indiana with his seminars I'm sending Ole.

5) I just added a new link in my Frequent Fliers list. It is called Lady of Grace and is the story of Ann Glenn and her fight with that dreaded "C" disease.
