On Being A Good Christian
It’s been a long time since my last update. About a year I think. I’m writing now because I’m reluctant to let the blog go without an entry for more than a year but I’m not sure what to say. I don’t even keep a diary any more because I don’t have much to say these days. I’m doing well. The Lord has brought me to a place of peace and prosperity after a lifetime of lurching from crisis to crisis. I don’t have everything my heart desires. I’d love to own my own home but that is not looking possible with the price of property these days but I…
One More Month
In one more month I will hit the two year anniversary of my quit smoking date. It has been, according to my quit counter, One Year, Ten Months, Twenty Six Days, 23 Hours and 21 Minutes since I put out my last cigarette and I am still trying to get my head around how easy it has been. Giving up smoking may not seem like a miracle to others but, deep down in my very soul, I know for certain God did this for me and words cannot express how loved it makes me feel! I have smoked since I was 14 years old and, by the time I quit,…

The Devil Is In The Details
How is it possible for adult human beings to steer humanity to it’s destruction and do it for the sake of money which they won’t be able to spend from their graves? Do they think the money they make will buy them a spot on a spaceship to some other planet after they destroy Earth? Or do the dollar signs just blind them to everything else including how THEY and THEIR loved ones will survive once they kill this Earth? I find it hard to believe human beings are really that stupid. I think Satan has his hands over their eyes and ears and they are letting him whisper sweet…
Sexuality And God
I’ve had a lot of years to think about the whole “God and sex” thing and I have come to the conclusion that God made sexual immorality taboo because He knows it has too high a price for us. Sexual immorality costs women their self-esteem and it costs men their ability to love. God knew this when He warned us against sexual immorality and here’s the story of how I came to see it too. I was right into the women’s liberation and sexual revolution movements when I was young. I was firmly convinced that women should have sex when they want, with whom they want, because they want. I…
Six Months Since God Set Me Free
December 24 marks six months since I last had a cigarette and I am dancing with joy over how easy God has made this for me.
QS – Week One
It is now one week since I had my last dose of nicotine. In another two hours it will be one week and one day to be precise and I feel sort of disorientated! It’s like I am living in a dream. I thought I would have to be at deaths door before I’d be able to quit smoking so finding myself a non-smoker now is really doing my head in. I keep wondering when I’m going to wake up! All these years I believed quitting smoking would be a major event filled with struggle, self-sacrifice, and trauma and I was so afraid of all that I wouldn’t even try.…
QS – Days One And Two
I’m sitting here munching on baby food! “Heinz Little Kids fruit & veg shredz” to be specific. I didn’t go into this decision to quit smoking lightly or unprepared! In my bathroom there are nicotine patches and gum and I have a nicotine inhaler in my bag. I have nicotine replacements and I’m not afraid to use them but I haven’t needed to so far! After all these years refusing to even try and quit smoking because I was so sure the pain of giving up wouldn’t be worth it and here I am… wondering why I made such a fuss about it and why, oh WHY, didn’t I do…
It’s Time To Quit.
It's been a long road from starting to smoke at age 14 to, finally, setting a date to quit smoking.
One, Two, Three Is Not As Easy As It Sounds
I thought it would be easy to count my blessings but I was wrong. Every time I lie down to sleep I pray. I ask forgiveness for my sins, I ask God to make me into the person He created me to be, I ask Him to bless all my friends and relations and I give thanks for all the blessings He has bestowed upon me. The other night I was not tired enough to fall asleep right away so I thought I would try to count my blessings but, as I began, I decided I’d like to list them in order of magnitude from the greatest blessing down to…
I’m Doing Good
I have a couple more health issues to deal with but I'm doing good, better than you might expect really, thanks to God.
