Recent Smokes to the Glory of God, etc.

Josh September 4th, 2007

What a joyous evening! It wasn’t too hot outside, so I ventured to the front porch to have a bowl of fine tobacco blend in my pipe this evening. It was truly enjoyable, and as I was about 20 minutes into my smoke, the Lord sent rain. What a perfect mixture! Pipe aromatics, fresh rain, cool air…ahhh.

Lately, I’ve been enjoying, along with my pipe tobacco, some Cojimar Cognac Sugar Tip stogies. I’m not real big on cigars, but of the several I’ve tried I’ve enjoyed the Khalua from Drew Estates and the Cojimar Cognac Sugar Tips…the latter being my most preferred of the two.

I’m thankful to the Almighty for His blessings in the small things such as fresh rains, cool breezes, and tobacco. Blessed be His Name!


On a separate note:

I would most assuredly appreciate each and any of your prayers. I’m not like my daddy is. I wear out quicker. I’m not physically tired, but I am mentally drained and unmotivated, insofar as my “secular” studies go. I should be able to graduate this semester, so long as I pass all my classes. Grades really aren’t an issue, but timing and motivation are issues.

Please pray that I would be motivated to put forward my best work to the glory of His Name. I just don’t “feel” it right now. All I can think is, “One more semester.” I have exerted very little effort, and I ought to be ashamed of my self. I have 12 hrs, and three of my four classes is requiring a substantial amount of reading and writing. I would like to keep my GPA at its 3.5 level, so as to uphold the reputation of a serious Christian student who practices what he professes.

Thanks in advance, Friends.

    This post made me smile. It is a long time since my brother was in school, but he does enjoy his pipe of an evening. He is a godly man, as well.

    I know how hard it is to keep up the pace as one nears the end of school. I have already prayed for you, and hope others will, as well.

    Cynthia,

    Thanks so much for the prayers, the blog visit, and the comment. The “godly man” allusion, I’m sure, applies to your brother, but I doubt to me. :)
