A trip back to my old haunts,and I was NOT comfy....

[warthog]

Today I went to a memorial that was held for my wife's cousin;it was held at an Eagles hall.......Soon as I got there;I knew I didnt belong-People sittin at the bar swilling drinks;everybody smoking....The longer I sat there,the more my lungs were closing up,due to my asthma,and everybody smoking in an enclosed building.Told the wife I GOTTA GO,this smoke is gettin hard to breathe in-SO I left,hit my inhaler,and drove home-Felt lousy for hours after that.My fellow church council member has a golf course,and has told me I could come and play in the clubhouse on nights the band was there,to fill in for them on their breaks-NOW I KNOW I WONT be goin -Not just because of the smokin;but because I made a promise to the Lord that I wouldnt frequent them places any more-no matter HOW much they might like to hear me sing and play......goin to that Eagles hall today dredged up a LOT of unpleasant memories,that are better left to rest......

Good wgSteve for getting away from them and I know what cigarette smoke can do to lungs for mine are bad from my father and ex-husband smoking in enclosed homes and cars! Thank Jesus, they banned it from work places....that was a blessing indeed! Sounds like worldly folks and satan is trying to get you back with him, but saying you are better off without them blesses Jesus, so keep on with faith in God, in Jesus' precious holy name! Amen! May God Bless and keep you strong in faith to escape the devil's temptations! Amen! Betty
