The Wit and Wisdom of Braden (2nd Ed.)
On Monday evening I went to a Volunteer Appreciation Event for our school district. While there, I was talking with one of the school district’s “Director of Some-Such-Thing” and we were discussing small children and how their views of the world is so much more interesting than ours seem to be as adults.

Motorcyles by Dr. Pepper
“The moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease forever to be able to do it.” ~ J.M. Barrie I love the imagination of a child, as there is no end to their creativity. Give a child a blanket and he’ll make a cape out of it and become Superman. Hand him an…
