@"ByGrace" Thanks for 'like'...

Of course, for you guys in Europe it's already been dark for hours... Here it's been so noticeable that while all the snow may have melted locally, yet even on slightly higher ground there have still been some snow remnants.

By God's grace, we can each say in one way or another, EBENEZER, 'Hitherto hath the LORD helped us' (1 Samuel 7.12).

One's personal triumph in faith, Scripturally attested, is what really counts. :)

April almost over...:)

Best if ppl don't smoke. I guess this was your thought years ago with your awareness of smoking in the home, right? At the same time, young ppl today don't seem quite to realize just how common, just how natural it was for work colleagues, family members, etc., to light up, years ago.

Psalm 110.3 is maybe relevant here: "Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power" (Psalm 110.3).

So ppl: Some try vaping as a way to quit cigarettes.

Like I said to @Naomi25 , I don't have daughters.

"No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father." (John 10.18)
