Smoking Satan in 2008

As many of you know, I have been a smoker for many years, and to be quite honest with you, it has been a 300 lb. gorilla on my back that simply will not let go. Somehow, the moment has come once again, where I have gathered up the gumption to quit. This time is different though, because I have a battle plan that may have been hatched by the Angels themselves. Yes, my battle to quit smoking is going to extend beyond the physical realm, and may indeed spill over into fierce spiritual warfare.

I think that Satan wants me to smoke, and he loves the idea that I have been subservient to this habit/addiction for all these years. It likely falls into that category of things that are put ahead of serving God. It has become a "god" in my life, so to speak, and I have been a loyal subject, willing to expend great effort to insure that cigarettes are within easy reach.

So here's the plan...

Dust in the Wind and the Fullness of Time

( Published at TownHall.com on 12/30/2007 )

It is a relentless quest, under no man's control. Every tick of the clock marks a step forward on the roadway that mankind knows as time. In the grand scheme of eternity, this human experience is but a piece of thread, floating in the vastness of everything that there is or ever was.

Edit:  Some of you have been asking... The ignored candidate, referenced in the article is Alan Keyes.

Alan Keyes or McHuckaDuncaRomThomPauliani for President

( Previously published at Townhall.com on 12/26/2007 )

If the Republican primaries were a game of musical chairs, it would seem that there are six seats and seven players ready for the game to begin. Ambassador Alan Keyes would make it an even field of eight vying for seven chairs.

Alan Keyes - Did you know he was a choice?

Do you remember Ambassador Alan Keyes? Did you even know that he was a candidate for the Republican nomination for President? His appearance at the Iowa Debates was a surprise for many.

What did you get from the 60's and 70's?

You know, the 60's and 70's are notorious for screwing up the lives of a lot of people. Many young men and women were in search of the "answer". This is a great look at some of them, who found their Answer. What they found is as true today as it was then.

Note:  I don't know who the woman is, but this appears to be from some kind of a program. If you have insight into this event, or the woman, it would be interesting to know. In any case, please focus on the young men and their music, and the words of young Mr. Girard.

About: Jesus Christ

(Published in TownHall.com on Dec 5, 2007)

My next statement is one-hundred percent correct. Not one person who saw my headline thought to himself or herself, "Jesus Christ… who is that?" Perhaps some of you thought I was swearing. Others, no doubt, are offended that I should use the name of Jesus in such a manner. In any case, the name rings a bell for everyone.

The name Jesus is familiar in nearly every corner of the globe. For the Jews, Jesus was a Rabbi who stirred things up at a particular time in history. The Muslim's Quran speaks of Jesus as one of the great Prophets, created miraculously. Muslims believe that Jesus did not die on the cross, but ascended to Heaven while still alive.

Christians believe Jesus was crucified, died, and was buried. Then he arose from the dead and ascended to heaven. This is central to the Christian faith, because the entire reason for Jesus' coming was to defeat the consequences of sin, and eternal death. Christians believe that Jesus took the death penalty of sin upon Himself, and paid the price on our behalf.
