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

"Are There Stars Out Tonight - - - "

.

Sixth period yesterday I walked into my classroom to see this:

Miss Courtney all ready to play "Football Friday" on Thursday since we don't have school today. Do you think she has my number or what???

And just what did she do with the stars that WEREN'T red or silver????

I guess you could say these are my star pupils. I TOLD you high schoolers STILL love stickers!!!

Then Miss Marie came in and turned them into video stars - - - talking about what is special about their grandparents. The video will be used on Grandparent day in mid-November.

Do you see the young man with "the look" on his face? He was saying that his grandparents always seem to be able to cook better than his parents.

To which I said, "Your grandma's chicken and noodles are the BEST."

"Thanks a lot, Mrs. Broyles," he replied "You just reminded me that she died."

Never a dull day on my constellation!!

People thought I was nuts, but I really did love the teenage years... I miss them... you brought them back... at least virtually, for me today.
