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!

Dear God

Dear God, It's hard to put into words how wonderful it was to hear from you again and I hope you and everyone are well and things are running smoothly in Heaven. I'd add, “especially in your BUSY season” but I suppose there are no seasonal lulls in your business, given the frailty of your ever growing clientele and the evermore hazardous and challenging nature of the world in which we live? But amazingly, in spite of your torrential workload, your blessings continue to rain upon your grateful servants in wondrous ways. Which brings me to the nature of my letter today which is my humble and heartfelt gratitude. As you know I am something of a “frequent flyer” when it comes to the times in my life's journey that I needed you....injuries, afflictions addictions....and here I am today - happy, still sober ( 3950 days) and yet AGAIN, fully recovered from a fall I took two months ago that fractured my nose and jaw! Some have said, “you're lucky it wasn't worse” and I suppose you could say that about any of our missteps and mishaps, but frankly I have experienced enough of your Grace and Love and Mercy in my life that I don't think “luck” was ever involved. If I am anything I am fortunate....tremendously fortunate and BLESSED, by the community of Faith who are my friends and family ( and their friends ) who by their loving prayers of hope and strength on my behalf have brought your healing light and mercy into my life yet again. God... I don't even know and might not ever meet many of the people who prayed for me in the last few months but it is MY turn now to humbly offer a prayer of thanks and my continued promise to you Lord to live my renewed life in grateful service always in your sight. May they come to believe as I surely do, that miracles happen. May they find as I have found, a miracle in each day's dawning. May they discover as I have, the miraculous joy of recovery and fulfillment. Thank you God, for the POWER of Prayer...the STRENGTH of Faith....the BEAUTY of Love and Mercy. Yours Truly, Timothy Lawrence p.s. I also add a small wish of Christian“sure-footedness” to any and all whose path is sometimes ICY!

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.
