@Cassandra Thanks for the 'like'...So did you years back as a smoking woman ever envisage that it would be vaping that in fact would be your key to quitting?

@Ziggy Great verses also! :) Glad you are strengthened to think clearly at this time....

@Ziggy Hebrews 12.2...

More of a matter-of-fact thing; most of the male youngsters at our local church would happen to wear earrings. Some threads are much less doctrinal than others....participation is voluntary...

@Ziggy Give the politicians a miss.... I do like to remember Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, the first and the last (Revelation); He is greater than all circumstances...He by the eternal Spirit offered Himself to God and He purges the believer's conscience (Hebrews 9). (If MIL...

@Waiting on him So why don't you start such a poll? :) She would probably find tattoos / even ear piercings etc., more satisfying in the long run; but I know it's hard to get into a business, right?

@Waiting on him Well, the Lord Jesus spoke this before the Cross, Resurrection and Pentecost; so clearly it's not directly about the church; and much of the Gospels' context is Jewish; I do think Luke 21 and Matthew 24 clearly speak of tribulation saints after the church has gone... How people...

back @Waiting on him So has she talked about it lately? (...or maybe she's too busy getting on with her other interests and commitments?)

Hi @Waiting on him Sorry; I must be half-asleep; what are you referring to by AOD....?

@Ziggy It's hard....... I guess you would ideally have wanted to be nearer in order to participate more in the funeral arrangements. Maybe MIL and Sam smoke also? Let's hope this whole sad experience in some way helps them spiritually; and the fact that you can talk to each other on the...

@Naomi25 Good point.....

@Naomi25 ...and I'm sure in any case when you guys do meet up, her tattoo will at the very least be of secondary interest compared with everything else that you guys 'catch up' on.... (Even though her new tattoo will likely peak some curiosity.... :) right?)

@Naomi25 I hear what you say.... And for me really a lot of it is as much about "who?" as well as chronologically "when?" (So many keep eschatologists are keenly taken up vividly with "when?"...)

@Naomi25 I'm guessing and extrapolating (from other threads also about your likely frame of mind) that you would ultimately be somewhat relaxed about it; not unlike what you said about the possibility of your daughter getting a tattoo: in the end one way or the other it wouldn't greatly bother...

@Ziggy Well...maybe if you make sure you get plenty of rest; and read passages of Scripture slowly, and so the inhales that you do might then be less frequent because your mind would be concentrating on other things. (But it's easy to talk and hard to practise....) Thinking of you at this sad...

@Ziggy Yes, well, you must know; and the news has probably understandably started to take that effect. I know some ppl also find it hard not to smoke even for the duration of a funeral; and so before and after it they get through quite a lot of cigarettes.

@Ziggy PSALM 139 O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me. 2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. 3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. 4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord...

@Ziggy I hope you'll manage not to smoke any more than usual, now that you've had some sad news.... (Maybe revisit the idea of vaping? or maybe this is not practical...)

@TLHKAJ Appreciated your comment about Philippians 4.8 on the other thread... :)

PS: @Naomi25 I see there is a new vote in the extra poll option; I think I can guess how you voted.... :)
