OK I'm a Christian and right now I'm asking God to

[OldHippieChick]

PLEASE DO SOMETHING! It is Holy Week and I am proud of the fact that I actually gave up something I loved (smoking) and thought that might mean something. Now, I'm just praying that God will keep us from blowing ourselves up.

[Mme. Defarge]

1. Well done!

[WePurrsevere]

2. Congratulations on ditching the ciggies...

As for prayer, I figure... can't hurt, might help.

[MontanaMama]

3. I'm proud of you for giving up smoking!!

That's such a difficult thing to do. Good on you.

I don't pray - per se - but I do ask the Universe for the safety and security of all beings. Keeping in mind that the best outcome for all might not be what I'd hoped for myself. I keep hearing about imminent arrests but I'm fearful we don't have much more time before something horrendous happens.

4. if God could do that

why didn't he do something in the past?

[Major Nikon]

5. Because he's working on getting my Mercedes Benz

[Skittles]

9. I think the chances are about the same

yes INDEED

[Different Drummer]

12. ...

[Ilsa]

14. Yeah, my friends all drive Porsches. nt

[Baconator]

18. I vote we put children's bone cancer higher on the list than where it appears to currently stand...

[Docreed2003]

6. Praying right there with you!

[Island Blue]

7. I'm not a Christian, but on 9/11

I prayed the following prayer, just in case ... "God please grant our leaders the wisdom to do the right thing." Last time I ever wasted my time doing that.

[Binkie The Clown]

8. I tried to quit at least 100 times and failed. Then one day I quit for good and never went back.

It was the day I sat in the doctor's office with my late wife when she found out she had lung cancer. That day I stopped smoking for good. She died two years later. In the 8 years since her diagnosis I've never even thought of smoking. That's a hell of a way to quit, and I don't recommend it. But a worse way is when the doctor tells you you've got lung cancer. Quit while it's still voluntary.

10. I prayed for peace in the Koreas today - and I'm not even religious.

That fat bastard Cheeto is trying to start a war there, and has been loading up on Raytheon stock to make sure he profits from it like the son of a bitch he is.

Happy Easter to all. If God is indeed up there, now would be a good time to intervene.

[KittyWampus]

11. Good going on quitting the cigarettes. You'll smell things again.

[yallerdawg]

13. In case you're a little ambivalent on the Christian/God thing:

[GallopingGhost]

15. Congrats!

Very tough habit to break.

I'm a lifelong Christian, and nothing could dissuade me from that, but when I see all the stupidity said and done in the name of religion, it leaves me shaking my head.

[Ligyron]

16. Good job!

That's really hard to do as I know from experience. Now don't ever start again!

[shenmue]

17. Chocolate bunnies in two days

[trof]

19. All I can say is...Bless your heart.

Sorry, giving up something will have absolutely no effect on our politics or anything else.

[JNelson6563]

21. Well, to be fair, giving up smoking

will change the poster's health and will also improve the air for those around.

But I do get the meaning of your comment.

[SomethingNew]

33. and sharing your rude opinion didn't help anyone either.

[kimbutgar]

20. I just can't believe the dic (don is crazy) wants to start a war during Easter!

I wonder what those evangelicals who voted for him are thinking now?

[JNelson6563]

22. bombs for Jesus!

[ananda]

23. I know. This is a tough time.

Can we call today Bad Friday .. or Black Friday?

I just want this whole weekend to be over with
nothing bad having happened.

24. Keep tweeting this...

25. Congratulations on giving up smoking

Hopefully that means a long and happy rest of your life.

Peace and Happy Easter.

[Demsrule86]

26. I have a feeling it will be Ok...

Take a deep breath...we will get though this.

[Warpy]

27. I'm glad you quit smoking because that will mean you can yell louder and longer

and yelling is something we're going to have to do a lot of: yelling at our Congressmen, yelling at local government, yelling at any corporation that knuckles under to Asshole, and just plain yelling that we're not going to take this shit any more. You can even yell at god, if he's out there, he'll understand.

As your strength improves and you're not coughing up 10 year old cigarettes any more, you'll be able to get out there with the rest of us and it will be a lot easier to keep up with us and run from the cops if need be.

Quitting smoking is a Really Big Deal. Congratulations!

[Doodley]

28. My only advice: Resist the temptation to smoke by masturbating more.

[roamer65]

29. Please make the quitting smoking permanent and keep praying.

[HopeAgain]

30. God helped me stop worse than smoking...

And now I just pray for his will for me and the power to carry it out. I figure if we mind ourselves, God will mind the world.

[hrmjustin]

31. Congrats and I am praying with you.

[grossproffit]

32. God can't guide our footsteps if we're unwilling to move our feet.

Congratulations on your giving up smoking.

You must be so proud of yourself.

[applegrove]

34. That is commitment. It does mean something. Don't give up on the parts
