Subject: Smoking |
Bible Note: Dear teemc - Yes, I know it's serious, teemc. But a little bit of humor never hurts, do you think? Having made 6,100 posts to this Forum, I really appreciate that your third post was to steer me away from the humor of which I've always been so fond. Thank you for your advice and counsel. ..... Your question has garnered some good responses, by the way. I love CDBJ's personal testimony of how the Lord lifted him out of addiction to nicotine. I smoked for years and, stubborn old mule that I am, it took a couple of heart attacks and quadruple by-pass surgery to convince me that my life was literally going up in smoke. Since I quit I've been asked many times whether I want a cigarette whenever I see someone puffing away. And the truth is that I don't want a cigarette when I see other people smoking. I just feel sorry for them and pray for their deliverance from a habit that has no redeeming features to it -- it is filthy, extremely unhealthful, annoying and harmful to others, and quite expensive. ... Sorry you took my little stab at humor seriously. I pray you weren't terribly offended by it. God bless. --Hank |
