A Common Miracle - Do You Want to Smoke a Joint? Part 1

Below is an excerpt of Chapter 2 from "A Common Miracle" by Pastor Bob Grenier.

Let no one say when he is tempted,“I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. JAMES 1:13, 14


ST. BONIFACE, TO NEGRIL, JAMAICA... from 4th grade, to age 26... from a normal kid, to running from the cops in Montego Bay and all around the island.
Let me take you back to the first time I ever smoked a joint in New York City. No one had ever asked me that question before, but I remember it like it was yesterday. Sully was my friend, and he had a friend named Fox, who lived in NYC. Sully and I worked together at the Westchester County Airport in White Plains, NY. We pumped gas into private and commercial airplanes. Little did I know what I was about to get into and where it would take me. Sin, by the way, is like that. It’s deceptive; it makes promises that it does not deliver. The Bible says in Proverbs 16:25, “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.” Boy, did I find that out!
