Thanks for the trackback. Read a bit on the site about how the name came about. I live on tobacco road in NC. Tobacco is a plant that God created that man corrupted. (I toured the RJR cigarette plant in 2nd grade and was given candy cigarettes when that puffed smoke when we left) If you live in NC, you can see that God is redeeming His creation and making an area that was built on Tobacco Money (see Duke and Wake Forest) new. I think it is a good picture of God’s redemptive work in our lives.

And I don’t think service is the ‘only’ act of worship, it is just the ‘neglected’ act of worship that I (meaning mostly me) think is missed most of the time. We need to learn more about what Paul meant when he said he “poured himself out like a drink offering, ” or where Jesus said, “I came to serve, not to be served.” Matt 20:28

Oh, I don’t smoke. Occastionally I’ll puff a pipe to feel smarter though.
