my new years resolution this year is “to follow God; and let him make me Holy.”

That just happened.

lost control of a cigarette (Cigaretess are a good in their proper time and place

googled “patron saint of smoking” last night, turns out that Saint Therese of Avila, the greatest saint of all time, smoked cigarettes!)

the cigarette was swept up by the wind, in other words the Holy Spirit

as I went to dispose of it in the butt tower

and it rolled fast towards an idling car

in which the driver and a passenger were looking at me smoking around the side of the column on where a no smoking sign was posted.

I was terrified as the lit cigarette rolled fast towards the underneath of their car!

the Lord stepped in.

(We are permitted to smoke there anyway just to keep it to a low profile

which was just broken!)

but the Lord stepped in!

the cigarette rolled backwards once it hit the pavement and rolled to a stop secreted against the step off of the entryway.

so that I was able to instantly step on it and put it out! And we were all out danger!

So I weaved my way back up to the door and went in avoiding the sign.

the Lord showed me his favor in this inverse way in this regard.

there has been so much a dispute about my smoking in recent months. The situation that has led me to this place and time revolved around my refusing to quit when my son made a promise to accommodate my smoking.

it has been awhile, but the Lord explained to me a while ago that my smoking is “unguent and appealing” to Him. No it was not the Devil. The bad parts of my smoking have been laundered out through all of this. I am a pack a day smoker now. The 3 pack a day smoker is gone.

the Lord retired me as his prophet but is restoring me again.
