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

Nine More Days to Unemployment

.

School days that is.

Including today.

Our school year will end and our school will close its doors forever, next Friday, May 28.

In the meantime - - - I am piled under the usual end of school things like exams and honors assemblies, not to mention the "extras" that go along with being one of the advisors to the Class of 2010.

I haven't even begun to think about moving out of this room. YIKES - - - that will be a job and a half.

I am sure I will grieve severing the ties to my friends in this place. I know I will grieve. Right now, I'm just too busy to cry.

I'll be back - - -

I have photos in my camera just BEGGING to be posted - - -
