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

She Wants to Get a Goat

My friend Annie of UP North wants to get a goat.

She doesn't want it for her own little sweet pet, in fact she doesn't want to keep it for herself at all.

No - - - she wants to get a goat to help a family in a third world country. You can read all about it here.

Why am I telling you this, you may well be asking. I'm TELLING you this because Annie is going to donate 50 cents for every comment she gets on her blog between now and the end of May.

So GO - - - GO NOW - - - and GO OFTEN and leave her comments, tell her I sent ya.

Some hungry third world family will be awfully glad you did, and so will Annie.
