A collection of writings about lifes whimsical twists and turns……………… by: Earnest Gene Lawrence Jr.
Regardless of your views of the President, you are now in more danger than you have ever been in your life! Starting on May 31, 2014 Americans are now known the world over as hostages. We are now the bargaining chip for terrorists around the world.
To understand how tolerant our nation is one would have had to visit any other country. I have stepped foot on and had to live on every continent. I have been to countries where the slightest mis-movement of the hand can land you in jail. I have been to places where being gay was a capital offense. I have seen firsthand what freedom is by seeing what it is not. We are a tolerant nation.
So I was called racists today for not apologizing for whites owning slaves hundreds of years ago. In fact when I asked the person who said that if their ancestors were slaves he said no but other black people were so therefore it affected him. Really?
I abhor the comments that Donald Sterling, owner of the Clippers, said regarding race. He is a true bigot that needs help. His girlfriend should be punished to the fullest extent of the law for taping him inside of his home as well. Imagine for a moment that during a conversation with your significant other in the privacy of your home, being scripted and recorded as extortion material. Now imagine them selling that information to someone who will intentionally use it to harm you. We have all said things in the privacy of our homes that we would not want others to hear, hopefully not what Mr. Sterling said, but something. I am not defending him at all, but remember this is all out there because his girlfriend broke the law in order to profit from this conversation. They are both wrong.
How plans change in the blink of an eye. Forever doesn’t quite mean as much when your forever is taken from you. Memories haunt your dreams and places spark memories. There is nowhere to hide from the pain. The hurt eventually fades but the heartache will linger forever. Life moves on and loves come again but your forever was changed,
and that can never be taken back.
So you think you have to make tough choices? God had to make a choice to plant a seed that would eventually be used to hang his son. Could you make that same choice? We all have hard times and have to make tough decisions but try to keep it in perspective. God chose to sacrifice his only son so that we may live, so that we can be forgiven.
Would you plant that seed?
There is always a worry lingering that one day I will wake up from this dream. If I do will she still be there? Will she still care? How can someone so beautiful love someone so broken? How can she not see what I see? When she realizes that the souls of her feet hold more beauty than my entire being, will she still love me?
Sometimes the dreams are so real it’s scary.
When you touch me I cry
Because I am unworthy of such love
Because I am undeserving of such peace
We were so young and so out of touch. Remember the words,”You are to young?” How about, “It’ll never last!” How about, “There’s no talking to you!” I remember them. Oh the nay-sayers were out in full force. Well to all of the nay-sayers do you remember me sayin,
“I don’t care! I love her!”
This is for the guys who slip off their ring as they walk into the bar. Karma, what can I say? A women’s scorn will one day come back to bite you when and where you least expect it! So she said as the package was opened with the photos of you sleeping and,
your ring falls out!
Well I feel like such a fool, thinking the whole time you’re so cool
While you were using me, you had a family
And I admit you’ve played me well, and it worked until I felt
You had a wedding band, carved in your cheating hand
Branded,
Don’t pull me into your life; I’m not competing with your wife
With Sung Lyrics
To the ones who suffer from Alzheimer’s and the families that have to deal with a forgotten reality. Living each day for that one moment of clarity is a daily routine for so many unsung heroes. Thier lives captured in the crevices of a mind that is lost and trying to find its way back. All they long for is one simple moment,
One simple I love you
He stands at her bedside, just brushing her hair
As she looks out the window, with a lonely lost stare
He reads her his bible, as she holds his hand
And he prays to his maker, help me understand
Every day he gets there, before she awakes
And he makes sure her photos, well they’re perfectly straight Continue Reading………..
