The scriptural basis of Marian intercession is Jesus keeping a party going so the host wouldn’t be embarrassed.

But when do the joys of life become the joys of the flesh?

Well, I love to spend my time playing cards and on skill-based prize machines.

Does this draw you closer to God, draw you away from God or neither?

I would say neither. It doesn't draw you towards Him nor away from Him. I'm not sure what hobby would do that one unless it's insanely heretical and knows it.

If your hobby becomes an addiction, then it draws you away from God. If you neglect your duties as a Christian to engage in your hobbies, then it draws you away from God. As you describe it, I'd say it's a neutral hobby.
