A great example of Flawless Male logic —
This is a conversation between a husband and his wife. Please note that she asks five or six questions which he answered quite simply; but, then she is speechless after answering only one question.
Woman: Do you drink beer?
Man: Yes.
Woman: How many beers a day?
Man: Usually about three.
Woman: How much do you pay per beer?
Man: $5.00 which includes a tip (this is where it gets scary!).
Woman: And how long have you been drinking?
Man: About 20 years, I suppose.
Woman: So a beer costs $5 and you have three beers a day which puts your spending each month at $450. In one year, that would be approximately $5400, correct?
Man: Sounds Correct.
Woman: If in 1 year you spend $5400, not accounting for inflation, over the past 20 years puts your spending at about $108,000, correct?
Man: Again, sounds about right.
Woman: Do you know that if you didn’t drink so much beer, that money could have been put in a step-up interest savings account and after accounting for compound interest for the past 20 years, you could have now bought an airplane?
Man: Could be true. Do you drink beer?
Woman: No.
Man: Where is your airplane?
Hope AND SWIM !
When I fall into an ocean, I know with certainty
That I am wet and startled will at once be plain to me
But will I sink or will I swim...to the depths or to the shore?
Perhaps a log will come drifting by, or a boat out on a tour?
I could hope as I was sinking, but I’d still drop to the floor
And hoping would I be, for logs and tour boats evermore
So I think I’ll set my sights on land and give my legs a kick
And stroke though I am weary, my decision will I stick
While Hope sustains the helpless whose outlook is often dim
Hope also fuels the Faithful, giving Strength to those who swim
So even if I falter against this fearsome tide of health
The shores of my fulfillment rise beneath me in my stealth
I’m hopeful for the strength and the courage not to give in
I thank the Lord for Faith and my resolve to hope AND swim!
My prayers and God’s Blessings be with you my friend!

Mother’s Day Queries? by Tim Lawrence
What can compare to the unspoken rapture of a new Mother
there is surely no other?
Who is not Royalty, a Prince or a Princess Fair,
when a Mother’s dreams be ever there?
What is more magical when a tear-stained face
becomes joyful in Mom’s embrace?
Who is not compassionate, whose heart echoes Mom’s own
legacy of kindnesses shown?
What other more Righteous battles are fought and won
than for a Mother, by her Son?
Who is not bold; strong of character and might
when armored by Mom’s Heavenly light?
What are the odds of faltering; who has done their worst
after a consultation with Mother first?
Who is not wise through the lessons of Kings
the Wisdom an experienced Mother brings?
What Thanks is worthy of life than to live it well and uplift
the Giver of the Precious Gift?
Who is not humbled by the infinite measure of God’s Grace
etched beautifully in a Mother’s face?
How blessed am I shouting lovingly no end
“Happy Mother’s Day”! to my Mom and my friend?
Love Timothy
