Sovereign God, we acknowledge that you alone
When are the appropriate moments to cough, spit, stoke, relight, etc? The spitting in particular is of interest to me.
Bro, this is fire. Pun intended.
Thank you!

Thank you for this!
Scottish Presbyterian minister Ebenezer Erskine’s “Smoking Spiritualized in Two Parts.”
This Indian weed now wither'd quite,
'Tho' green at noon, cut down at night,
Shows thy decay;
All flesh is hay.
Thus think, and smoke tobacco.
The pipe so lily-like and weak,
Does thus thy mortal state bespeak.
Thou art ev'n such,
Gone with a touch.
And when the smoke ascends on high,
Then thou behold'st the vanity
Of worldly stuff,
Gone with a puff.
And when the pipe grows foul within,
Think on thy soul defil'd with sin;
For then the fire,
It does require.
And seest the ashes cast away;
Then to thyself thou mayest say
That to the dust
Return thou must.
PART II.
Was this small plant for thee cut down?
So was the plant of great renown;
Which mercy sends
For nobler ends.
Doth juice medicinal proceed
From such a naughty foreign weed?
Then what's the pow'r
Of Jesse's flow'r?
The promise, like the pipe, inlays,
And by the mouth of faith conveys
What virtue flows
From Sharon's rose.
In vain th' unlighted pipe you blow;
Your pains in inward means are so,
'Till heav'nly fire
Thy heart inspire.
The smoke, like burning incense tow'rs
So should a praying heart of yours,
With ardent cries,
Surmount the skies.
Love it! Reminds me of J.S. Bach's "Edifying Thoughts of a Tobacco Smoker."
Amen!
What in the tobacco addiction is this…
