My Love For You by Timothy Gerald Franklin Lawrence

My love for You
is bigger
than a shoe
 The End

Look after yourself...without health
you are of no use to anyone.

If I owned this company,
would I hire someone like me?

Ab's ( REALLY GOOD) Joke of the WEEK!

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!

The Choice -24


The Choice by Tim Lawrence

You know my Friend there’s prudence in an optimistic view
for dark imagined peril, has no place in life renewed

A soul aligned with fear has made a devastating pact
The role of anguished victim is an all consuming act

A heavy heart diminishes the beauty of the morn
A hopeless mind obscured by doubt is rakish weak and torn

Forgiveness is a sword that cleaves the darkness into day
And Faith a shield of Providence which holds despair at bay

The countenance of joy, tarries not in guilt and blame
The conscientiously happy suffers not the weight of shame

The pitfalls and the pratfalls are but pylons on our road
The weights and woes we face will make us stronger by the load

We are Warriors of our destiny and Guardians of our fate
To heal and bind anew is not an insubstantial trait

To draw upon the limitlessness of love within our hearts
Is to truly share the gift that each new blessed day imparts

For each sunrise holds a promise, each horizon’s new light, gold
The choice of dreams’ fulfillment... of ecstasy untold

Life’s greatest gift is Life itself, and the Power it entails
Our outlook is our choosing, and our option to prevail

This world is ever changing, its’ pace a mad turnstile
Yet time and space are no match for a shared and tender smile

So seize the dawning sunlight with every fiber of your soul
Make today your “day of days”, and a loving heart your goal

Make each day your marionette, and give to them your voice
Take a pass on pessimism and let rapture be your choice

When the curtain falls on your journey, be fulfilled with lessons learned
Choose a life of Peace and Glory; no regret, no stone unturned

If there’s a place for me in Heaven, I shall humbly share my worth
In the meantime I’ll be busy, having a Heavenly day on earth !


*With thanks to God, for TODAY, and the POWER to make it one of my choosing!

Laugh as much as you breathe
and love as long as you live ( enthusiastically)

Life Stories

Life Stories by Tim Lawrence

The end of life…is not!

It is the end of a Chapter in a Grand, Spiritual, Novel !

These chapters called “life”, are enriching, engrossing
narratives of one’s earthly adventures.

In them, are an abundance of supporting characters and
supplementary plot elements, often curiously overlapping
and mysteriously intertwining.

Their length and depth varies from person to person;
from protagonist to protagonist.

Some people who have “died” in chapters ended many years
ago, are still quite “alive” today!

Their SPIRIT; their influence, their charisma, their wisdom,
their character, their enthusiasm, their joy, their ESSENCE....
continues to fill the “life pages” of all they’ve touched.

Their frail and finite physical chapter is ended, but the richness
of their story flourishes, and enhances God’s Novel!

Like timeless passages, indelibly marked in our hearts and
memories, to be re-read and forever treasured….
their lives never truly “end”!

When through God’s Mercy, the earthly narrative of someone
we love, ends….their life does not!

And for that, we are truly blessed!

* Dedicated with gratitude and love to the enduring Spirit of all who transcend fear and inspire faith by truly living God’s gift of life to the fullest!! T.L.
