PS: As a alternative even to vaping, some ppl burn joss sticks. (Not that I would necessarily advocate it, either.)

@FluffyYellowDuck I wouldn't 'recommend' it either, in a sense, but there has been so much politics and pharmaceutical big business ripping off from expensive meds that I don't 'moralize' against marijuana either, especially if it's legalized. For the believer, it's best to move on with a clear...

@FluffyYellowDuck Yes, the advantage of vaping for those trying to quit is that you can cut down on nicotine levels. Sometimes cold turkey works, period; sometimes by lessening the nicotine content progressively while you get your inhales via vaping can work for some ppl also, right?

a boomerang yoyo

PS: @FluffyYellowDuck It's been legalized in a lot of states since, not that I recommend it...

@FluffyYellowDuck If you managed to quit cigarettes and marijuana cold turkey without going via the vaping route, then more power to you! :) (Like you said, vaping can work for some ppl...)

Okay.... :) But what I meant was the spelling backwards: puns are hard to translate... :)

I like that from WaterSong that "Stressed spelled backwards is Desserts!"...... :) (Doesn't work, though, translated en francais...)

@FluffyYellowDuck Depends where you live, really. FYI: forums dot thewelltrainedmind dot com

@FluffyYellowDuck (FYI: As mentioned...)

@FluffyYellowDuck God bless your family and your Bible studies! :) (I did start a quit smoking thread, but not from a 'moralizing' perspective...)

@FluffyYellowDuck Oh I love Bunyan, the way he writes! Do you remember the passage from 'The Holy War' about the bliss of sins forgiven? :) "Moreover, the Prince stripped the prisoners of their mourning weeds, and gave them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, and the garment of...

PS: @FluffyYellowDuck I tend to do a lot of reading before going to sleep, but it's a moot point whether the reason for switching off the light is because of sleepiness or because the eyes can't stand any more. (Life does change in such ways, in ways one would not have imagined years ago...)

PS: @amadeus The theme of fellowship in John's First Epistle comes to mind, both Godward and among the likeminded.

Just goes to show how deeply important is Godly fellowship in the home, in tune with heaven... :)

@FluffyYellowDuck What you said about the Scriptures kind of also reminds me of what Anne Steele wrote: "O may these hallowed pages be My ever dear delight! And still new beauties may I see, And still increasing light!"

Good sentiment, @amadeus Blessings.

@FluffyYellowDuck Good to search the Scriptures thoroughly and see what Godly minds in the past have said also.

@FluffyYellowDuck I think 1 Corinthians 15.20 is a great verse: "But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept." No longer are the types and shadows to be observed and enforced; but the Lord has indeed been crucified and is indeed risen! :)

Ty. Sometimes we maybe don't understand the sheer weight of the mindset that ppl raised on OT thinking might bring with them, even when professing the Gospel.
