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

Sky Watch Friday

"Lord of all creation,
Of water, Earth, and sky,

The Heavens are your Tabernacle.
Glory to the Lord on high!

God of wonders beyond our galaxy,
You are Holy, Holy!

The universe declares your Majesty,
You are holy holy!

Lord of Heaven and Earth

Early in the morning

I will celebrate the light

Hallelujah to the Lord of Heaven and Earth

Precious Lord reveal your love to me....

The universe declares your majesty
You are holy,holy,
Halleujah to the Lord of Heaven and Earth

("God of Wonders" lyrics by Third Day)

grammy said...: Favorite DIL- LOVE the picture of Gull Lake!!! Also the last picture of the sun on those trees with background of the sky, has such a beautiful depth to it!!! WOW---; October 11, 2008 at 1:07 PM
Keetha Broyles said...: Grammy - - - and in that last picture I was rather disappointed because my camera couldn't do justice to the actuality.

It had been a heavily cloudy day. Those clouds you see departing toward the east are HEAVY AND DARK, and yet there was the sun, coming from the west where the clouds were gone, shining on the trees; October 11, 2008 at 1:40 PM
Anonymous said...: Yes, I'm Gwen from the "Northwoods". I visit almost every night and am never disappointed. Wish you could be up here this time of year to take some pictures. It has been a beautiful fall. The colored leaves have been vibrant and lasted a long time, even through rain and strong winds.; October 11, 2008 at 3:49 PM
Keetha Broyles said...: Gwen, I would LOVE to be there to see those colors!!! We have color here now too, but I don't think it's as bright as I remember the Northwoods color being.; October 11, 2008 at 4:13 PM
Shannon said...: That was beautiful! I saw Milton last night and talked to him about you finally!! He said, "I think she's the biggest female football fan, I know." I agreed!! I went to the UK football game today- it was super fun, even though they ended up loosing. There's nothing like football!q; October 11, 2008 at 6:49 PM
Keetha Broyles said...: There IS nothing like football!!! I'm playing a football "picks" game with my F-I-L and a HS friend who is a WI graduate. I picked SC to win, so for THAT REASON I'm glad UK lost. BUT, it was no walk in the park for them, was it?!?
