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

Windows in My City

If eyes are the windows of the soul,
Then windows are the what of the building?

Much more than light conveyances
I should think.

Windows in my city
Which stir my imagination.

KathyB. said...: I love looking at ( and through) such interesting windows. Kind of makes the windows here at home not so exciting, but when you think about cleaning those fantastic windows...

Such pretty and interesting windows.; May 8, 2011 at 4:20 AM

Anita Johnson said...: Dear Keetha,
First off I want to thank you for your comments on my blog. Always good to have another Wisconsinite to chat with. I think spring is finally here...not compared to Illinois, but OK...nice birds, a few tulips, green grass. I'm hoping the leaves pop this week, the trees still look wintery to me. And we need warm weather. Last night we went to the state park here, climbed the tower and froze watching the sun set. We had custard in the car with the heat blasting. it's a good start! I love looking at blogs and try to comment once in awhile too. We are starting our busy season, but I love to relax on the computer...
Have a great weekend!; May 8, 2011 at 9:32 AM

Kristin - The Goat said...: It makes the mind wonder what is depicted on those windows. Thanks, Keetha!; May 8, 2011 at 7:22 PM

Claudya Martinez said...: "If eyes are the windows of the soul,
Then windows are the what of the building?" Hmmm, interesting riddle.
They are sort of like a permeable membrane from the outside to the inside and vice versa. A building without windows isn't much fun.

There is a police station where I live that has no windows. I have never been inside of it and I have no desire to go in, it isn't very inviting.; May 9, 2011 at 1:36 AM
Unknown said...: I love the windows in your city :) the circles are my favorite.; May 9, 2011 at 12:11 PM
42N said...: These photos are a good start in documenting all the church windows in your commuity. It would be interesting to see them dividing by faith.; May 10, 2011 at 1:40 PM
