Pipeology - The Fine Art of Pipe Smoking and Thought

 My wife and I have an agreement about Mother’s Day and Father’s Day.  It’s up to our kids to get us gifts and cards for those special days.  We don’t buy for each other on those days.  But we both take time to reflect on our parents those days.  Both our moms were very special ladies.  I often wish our kids spent more time with them.   I hated giving up our moms to the Angels—particularly mine.  But my Angels told me she has a place in heaven next to my wife’s mom.  It’s sometimes hard to live without them but maturity says we manage.  I know I have a lot of my own mom in me.  I wasn’t going to make this long today, but every mom is special.   I’m smoking my Savinelli Favola pipe this morning and my coffee is Wicked Joe’s Bella Maria.  Happy Mother's Day to all the mom’s and thank you for your time and Peace and Love to each one of you!

 I have watched all the YouTube vids on pipe smoking I’m going to watch.  I’m not going to buy many more pipes.  I have my favorite pipe tobaccos.  I have been posting vids of myself almost every morning for a reason.  It’s to show close friends and family I made it through the night and that I am okay.  I’ve made a post in the evening the past couple of nights.  I write for my wife first and then anyone else who wants to read them.   I’m getting up in years and in a way my writings are diagnostic tools for my wife so she can tell how well I am doing mentally.  I don’t say a whole lot except in writing and this way she can tell where my head is at.  I told her that I need to do something different and she suggested a new hobby.  I thought to myself that I smoke a pipe for good reason. Besides which I need my time for meditation and my pipes are tools for that.  I do watch a lot of YouTube vids and try to think of a different to...

 I have often wished there was some way I could find a commonality with others who believe as I do.  But I’ve learned that commonality begins with me.  I commune with God and Angels in my alone time, but there is just no way I can draw others into the experience.   It’s why I often wish I could just meet my Angels.  I have learned that often the belief system of others don’t allow for Angels or at least an experience like mine.  I don’t always feel comfortable with people except close friends and family.  But I have said so often that it is what it is.  I am chosen for this path and I must not forget this, but some kind of guidance would help.   But the one thing I must remember is that nothing I do is wrong.  Everything leads to the One Path.  Pipe smoking is just a part of it.  Family is another part.  And those whom I meet along the way are another part.  I must not forget there is no right or wrong way as I won’t ...

 Does a theology that says that God forgives every sin except for the sins of intentional taking of any Human Life actually fit in any church structure?  I have been wondering this for almost 33 years now and tried church once for a couple of years in the mid-2000’s.  I came to the conclusion it does not.  But I knew this back in November of 1993.   When my Angels told me this, my initial thinking was that no one would anyone buy it.  The structure of the theology was still there, but churches are too culturally ingrained.  But now it seems every church structure is weakening.  Could I just slide it in with a ruptured church?  I just don’t know.  I’d have to have free reign to teach it.  I would need an incredibly Liberal congregation that would accept something new.   But as I’ve been told, the theology is just too simple.  I have often wondered what my Angels wanted me to do with it.  The only way I saw was to splin...

 I was thinking this morning that I want to meet my Angels.  I heard their voice through a human body, but that body was occupied by fifteen of them.  I was thinking about it as I meditated this morning and I was thinking I can’t wait to meet them in person.  They not only saved my soul, but my life too! They said that if we knew what heaven was like we’d fall all over ourselves trying to get in.  I have seen many vids depicting heaven, but nothing on earth or our imagination can compare.  My thinking is that if you got ten thousand YouTube creators depicting heaven, nothing they do collectively would equal heaven. I used to say this about ten thousand theologians depicting heaven, but now I say it about YouTube creators.  I have seen so many YouTube vids depicting heaven and they are beautiful.  I watch a lot of YouTube vids because my eyes aren’t what they used to be.  I used to be an avid reader, but these days it’s mostly YouTube vids. ...

 I try to keep up with current trends in pipe smoking these days, but at my age it’s hard to keep up with all the tobacco blends when I have narrowed my pipe smoking to just a few favorites.  If I sampled everything out there I wouldn’t be smoking my favorites.  I leave the sampling to the pros and those who want to sample.   My sampling days are pretty much over.  I’ve learned a lot from the younger pipe smokers, but I have my own way of doing things trying to stick to basics.  But I keep learning.   I’ve connected with a few about Angels and one thing about theology is that nothing is new to me.  The basics are still there.  I never got into the prosperity gospel, as it is called, because I found it to be more about personality and show than theology.  My theology is still rather basic.  My Angels changed how I think about sin and forgiveness.  I came to the conclusion that all God cares about is Human Life.   I try to r...
