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

Can You Find It?

.

I'm talking about the little white church with the golden dome. You can SEE the dome in this picture, can you find it???

Yesterday as I stood on THIS side of the river, I saw the sun shining off of something on the OTHER side of the river and way across town.

I wondered what it was, shaded my eyes and looked more closely. It's the GOLDEN DOME!!! Thought I.

See if you can find it too.

And as you can see, spring has FINALLY come to the Frozen Tundra. It's 51 degrees now at noon-thirty and most of our snow is GONE - - - except the piles of black parking lot snow.

Never eat black snow.

I've even seen a couple of robins - - - true harbingers of spring.
