Mar. 18, 2009 - Why not to smoke
Here are a few posters from the American Cancer Society:
The first one is actually in the health book that I did this year for homework. The health book is published by ABeka and is called Health in Christian Perspective.
Who would want to waste their lungs away? Some people probably don't realize that they're killing themselves slowly. Some people probably do realize it but don't care or at least don't make much of an effort to stop.
Smokers are more likely to die from lung cancer, oral cancer (at least in males), esophageal cancer, pancreatic cancer, and bladder or kidney cancer, than people who don't smoke. Doesn't that sound tempting? Oh yummy!
We as Christians should remember what Romans 12:1 says:
"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service."
Doesn't that verse say it so perfectly? Of course, it shouldn't be too suprising to us since God is the founder of logic, reason, and truth. It's just amazing!

Redeemed, how I love to Proclaim it
Redeemed, how I love to proclaim it!
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;
Redeemed through His infinite mercy,
His child and forever I am.
Refrain:
Redeemed, redeemed,
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;
Redeemed, redeemed,
His child and forever I am.
Redeemed, and so happy in Jesus,
No language my rapture can tell;
I know that the light of His presence
With me doth continually dwell.
Refrain
I think of my blessθd Redeemer,
I think of Him all the day long:
I sing, for I cannot be silent;
His love is the theme of my song.
Refrain
How Great Thou Art
Author: Carl Bobert
Date Written: 1886
O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made;
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.
Chorus:
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!
Chorus
When through the woods, and forest glades I wander,
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees.
When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur
And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.
Chorus
And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing;
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;
That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin.
Chorus
When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation,
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart.
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration,
And then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!"
Chorus
I was given this award by Pip.
Thank you, Pip! :)
