Pipeology - The Fine Art of Pipe Smoking and Thought

 Of course,  I can’t explain my Angels, but keep in mind that I believe they made me a messenger.  And it is just a matter of time before the world knows the Message.  Belief is one thing, but knowing is another.  If God wants the world to know the Message, then the Message will get out.  And if I have done enough then all I have to do is wait.  Don’t I worry about death before He comes?  No.   I do not worry about death and dying.  I just struggled with an illness, but I wasn’t worried the illness would harm me.  It’s a nuisance.  But for me that is all any illness can be.  I’ll be fine.  My biggest question is whether the world is to know the Message.  I doubt most anyone would believe the Message but knowing it is different from belief.   Maybe I need to begin with the Message itself.  The Message is rather simple.  Jesus died for every sin but the sins of intentionally taking Human Life includi...

 Generally speaking February sucks.  February has Ground Hog’s Day, Valentine’s Day, and President’s Day, but according to meteorologists most of February is the dead of winter.  Even if we celebrated the birth of our country in February and not July 4, nothing can improve on February.   I’m not sure what I have, but whatever it is doesn’t act like a cold.  It just makes the first of February worse even here in Florida.  The high today is what it is—52 degrees.  There is no football today.  It is a great day to stay inside and curl up with a good book.   My wife and I were in search of a small space heater for use on the lanai where I can sit and smoke my pipe without freezing.  We went to Walmart and their shelves were empty.  Amazon could ship us one which we would receive in March.  We went to ALDI’s and they had two on a shelf.  We bought one there.  I am using it now.   I didn’t have much to say in the past ...

 Religion is about philosophy.  Belief systems are about philosophies.  Philosophies dictate how we live our lives.  Beliefs of any kind matter.  I believe in the sanctity of every human life beginning with conception.  I believe that only God has the right to take a human life including our own lives.   But where does this philosophy about Human Life come from?  If it comes from myself I would be a completely different person.  If it came from a religion, then I am a follower of a leader or teacher.  I could join with others who share this same belief.  But I don’t find it in today’s Christianity.  I find it more closely aligned with Buddhism than Christianity. But Buddhism for me isn’t the answer either.  Actually, I would have to align myself with others who get this philosophy of life from Above.  I get it from Angels.  And what if I lie, or hallucinated, or spoke with demons?  I can’t prove my Angels ex...

 My Angels laid a lot of heavy things on me.  My pipes are my escape, but only partly.  My pipes are a part of my Spirituality.  I don’t have many wants in this life and really never have except for what we could afford.  I don’t need Dunhill pipes in my collection.  In fact I don’t even need pipes costing a hundred dollars.  I’d rather have a lot of tobaccos I can choose from and smoke those blends in the pipes I have.   Good tobacco doesn’t have to be expensive.  If I can get eight ounces for around 30 bucks that is just fine with me.  I have figured out that I go through about 16 ounces of tobacco in about a month.  Then I just order more.  Smoking pipes takes some financial wherewithal to care for the pipes.  I received a nice pipe reaming kit for Christmas that I have needed for quite some time. I go through a batch of pipe cleaners every couple of months.  I have pipe lighters that require fluid, flints, and wic...

 I order pipe tobacco towards the end of the month.  I like to order something I’ve had along with something I haven’t had. I’m big on Peter Stokkebye’s Proper English and less so on Arango Balkan Supreme.  Any tobacco from the Balkans is a holy grail of tobacco.  But last month I ordered Balkan Supreme with Proper English and find I enjoy proper English a bit better.   Balkan Supreme gets high reviews as it should, but I decided to try a blend I’ve never had before, which is Old College by Cornell and Diehl thinking it might be closer to Old Professor.  But Old College only gets a 3.1 star review with only eight reviews.  But it was the about the same with Old Professor.  In fact Old Professor wasn’t in the top 100 when I first ordered it.  Then it moved up to a top 100 best seller.   Proper English is a top 100 seller on Smoking Pipes.  But Balkan Supreme is a top 10 best seller.  Old College isn’t in the list.  I might ...

Human Life might be more at stake now than at any time since WWII.  What my Angels told me about God judging those who intentionally take Human Life just might mean more now than at any time since my Angels told me this 31 years ago.  Intentionally taking a life including one’s own means Judgement by God.   The rest of us have no reason to fear.  We can fear death, yes, but not God’s Judgement.  The world is very unstable now and I believe that people need to know about God’s Judgement.  My voice is small in a world where so many voices are heard.  Why would God tell me this?   I have wondered this myself.  But it is a message my Angels gave me.  Maybe at some point in time I will be heard, but I begin with a few.  Jesus died for every sin but the sin of intentionally taking Human Life, including one’s own life.  The key word here is “intentionally.”  All innocent victims will go to heaven.  But I am saddened when the...
