Yesterday was church night, the wife had drop off duty, and I was on pick up for Number 4 and two of her friends. My ears and hearing are a little wrecked from my time in service, but I have heard stories from some of my friends (similar condition) that when their girls hit a certain pitch, they can no longer hear them. For my nephew, it is the pitch of a cricket chirp. Anyway, last night, they hit that pitch! Ear piercing loud, then gone. Bless their hearts.<\/p>\n

For those of you who don’t know, I have 4 kids. A couple of weeks ago, while sending 2 and 3 out the door, Number 2 asked why I haven\u2019t been writing notes to put in their lunches this year. Last year, on the days I\u2019m not traveling for work, I got up early, made the kids their lunches, and put a note in each one’s lunch box. Their mom started it. She would write something sweet…mom-type stuff. That is not really my thing, so I would look for cool quotes that seemed to fit the day or something they were going through. For 2, 3, and 4, it’s a note on a napkin. For Number 1, it’s a text because he is a sophomore in college.<\/p>\n

Enough preamble, on to the quotes:<\/p>\n

1. “My dream is that you will travel the road ahead with liberty’s lamp guiding your step and opportunity’s arm steadying your way.”<\/em> – Ronald Reagan <\/p>\n

2. “I know that others find You in the light that’s sifted down through tinted window panes, and yet I seem to feel You near tonight in this dim quiet starlight on the plains.”<\/em> – Charles Badger Clark<\/p>\n

3. “Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.”<\/em> – Aristotle<\/p>\n

4. “You are what you do, not what you say you’ll do.”<\/em> – Carl Gustav Jung (Good luck today at cheerleader tryouts! – Dad)<\/p>\n
