Hee hee..but do you drink coffee?? I heard that was frowned upon over there-is that so? Isn't it strange how one country condemns one thing and overlooks another. I guess they are just cultural sins! Limited only to certain cultures. I agree with whoever said a beer or two isn't excess but fallen down drunk and the bottle has control of you -not the other way around. I quit, almost cold turkey, and now almost 30 years later I see how God saved my life but cleaning me up and having me quit alcohol. If I had continued I would be dead-a fact. I have been living with Hepatitis C for over 30 years and it will destroy your liver and kill you but if you drink while you have it you're a gonner. I have a cousin who didn't reach age 30 because of it. Now I'm happy to say that I am healed of the virus. Yup. Did a year long treatment (that almost killed me) and its gone. Another guy in my church went through it at the same time as I did. We helped each other make it week by week and he is healed too. The docs call it "cured" but we know the greatest Doc. Now the question is -can I drink occassionally-now that I'm healed. I don't want to risk it. There is scar damage from the disease and my liver may not be real healthy yet. And then theres the testimony I have to keep as a Ranger Commander. I have boys looking up to me. One time I went to convinience store and bought 2 cans of beer. No not to drink-to make a batter for a fish fry. It is a good batter for deep frying. Anyway I felt guilty about bying it-what if someone walked in while I was buying it. How could I explain it? Is that silly or what? I quit smoking for the same reason. I felt like a heel when others smelled it on my breath and had to hide from my own family and kids. It just wasn't worth it. So I gave it up for good, also. Now I don't condemn anyone else who does either of these habits but I know that given our cultural customs I can't do them and have a peace about it. So in a way, doing them would be hell for me. Bob Simons
