Pipeology - The Fine Art of Pipe Smoking and Thought

 Desperate people do desperate things.  It’s amazing how old people respond to religious ideas once they face the end of life.  They begin to fear death and seek to be immortalized.  But desperation knows no age or income.  Desperation has as many reasons as sin in general.   But for those of us who don’t fear death, there is no desperation.  We take each day as a blessing.  We are thankful to just be alive.  Desperation may set in if one knows one’s time is limited.  Desperation is a way to argue with the inevitable.   I am far from a desperate old person.  I am waiting for the arrival of the Messiah and sometimes that waiting taxes my patience.  But I never live in desperation while waiting.  I simply don’t worry about death or dying, but often wonder how long I have to wait for the Messiah to come.  Desperate people feel they must do something in order to survive.   The poor get desperate for money so the...

 I listen to Chip Davis Dayparts Sunday Morning Coffee every Sunday morning while I drink my coffee and smoke my pipe.  I am pretty relaxed this morning after getting the best night’s sleep I have had in quite some time.  I watch an old movie from 1965 last night and it was a B movie about a spy who could transfer himself from place to place.  His car was an AMC Javelin.   I loved the looks of that car when it first came out.  But it is a very expensive car to own these days with a lot of work having to be done just to maintain them.  I love to watch old movies just for the cars.  My favorite old show to watch these days is Columbo.  Peter Falk did a great hub portraying Columbo.   A lot of cars in Columbo are old classic expensive cars. I wouldn’t own a classic today as parts are getting more and more rare.  Very few mechanics today can work on old cars.  Mt brother own a 1963 XKE Jaguar, but he can work on it himself as a hob...

 I have no doubt there is intelligence in the universe.  Whether it is 3I/ATLAS or something else we are not alone.  I am convinced there is intelligence watching us.  As to how to define this intelligence I can say it can’t be defined.  It is said Satan can do most anything God can do, but I don’t give him that much power.   Basically, my Angels gave me limited understanding.  We tend to fear what we don’t understand.  While I don’t claim to understand all things there is much I do understand.  I believe that God is the intelligence of the Universe.  And I understand about good vs. evil.  This understanding gives me no reason to fear.   Fear is Satan’s greatest weapon.  The whole idea behind a universal intelligence is to give us no reason to fear.  But why should I have this understanding when others do not?  I don’t have an answer for this because my voice is so small.  But all I need to do is just keep r...

 I’m not sure what to believe about 3I/ATLAS.  It’s either exiting our solar system or it is sending satellites into orbits around the earth. So, which is it?  I tend to believe the latter but NASA and world space agencies wouldn’t want to alarm us.  But I don’t believe 3I\ATLAS is nefarious.   God has to have some way of ridding the earth of all murderers at once.  Frankly, I’m not sure I care how God  does it.   But I believe the Judgement is near.  But actually it’s not my concern.  God can do whatever He wants to do and in some ways I am not going to care.  Satan knows his time on this earth is short.  Murders will increase.  But he will not win.  There is too much good in this world for Satan to win.   The biggest question of the day is whether 3I/ATLAS has intelligence and I am one who thinks it does.  We are being observed both by God and Angels.  It’s just that most don’t know how God will judge...

 This year Valentine’s Dat is a Saturday.  It’s not exactly a holiday, but it is a day to break up the winter blah’s.  My wife and I used to go out on Valentine’s Day.  But these days we are more content to stay home.  I’m pretty content to just smoke my pipe by myself and live in Peace.  She still works with our son’s business, but I am content with a quiet life.   I still take vids of myself smoking my pipe, but I don’t care about numbers.  Between FB and IG I am busy enough.  We have had the trials of life and both of us just want quiet lives.  I try not to let the news of the day bother me no matter what I see or read.  I’m thinking of this blog several days ahead, but I don’t let it become very important to me.   I’m always right where she expects me to be.  We are never far from each other.  I enjoy watching vids with lo-fi music sometimes not sure if I want to see winter scenes or beach scenes.  Most of th...

 Heroes come in all shapes and sizes.  Society praises heroes for having taken human life.  I am a different kind of hero being relatively unknown.  But my kind of hero is celebrated in heaven and not on earth.  I can’t prove anything related to my Angels but I AM the proof.  I could have a lot to boast about but my boasting would be about nothing on this earth. But if I have lied or my Angels were not in fact Angels, there is no way I would be relaxed in today’s world.  But I AM different having been made different by heaven and not by earthly standards.  IF I didn’t believe in God and Angels I would be a completely different person.  The world still stresses me, but not as much if I felt alone and believed what I believe. I don’t have to be a hero on this earth.  I am a totally different kind of hero.  I am virtually unseen here in this world.  But in a way, this world is not where I live.  Sure it’s nice to have things,...
