lenr8 Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 How long Do I Have? Does not apply to me. I have never asked that question about me. I have as long as I want and as long as I need. I have 2 boys to raise and a beautiful wife who likes to nag at me. No one can tell me how long I have that's up to me! How long do I have? -I have til the cows come home. -til pigs fly -til hell freezes over I have as long as I say I have! I have the strength to overcome that which threatens me! I have the strength to overcome the thing we all fear. It can't beat me! Lenny Retske Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 Hey Lenny! Can't sleep? Me, I just got off work. I love your note, and your attitude. It's something that should be packagable and sold in corner stores. Keep it up! David P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DaveG Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Cancer is So Limited! It cannot cripple LOVE! It cannot shatter HOPE! It cannot corrode FAITH! It cannot destroy CONFIDENCE! It cannot kill FRIENDSHIP! It cannot shut out MEMORIES! It cannot silence COURAGE! It cannot invade the SOUL! It cannot destroy PEACE! It cannot quench the SPIRIT! It cannot lessen the POWER OF THE RESURRECTION!! IT CANNOT STEAL ETERNAL LIFE!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
