Pipeology - The Fine Art of Pipe Smoking and Thought

 Believe me when I say that all the pieces of Revelation are in place for the New Beginning.  I wish I could say that 3I/ATLAS is the Second Coming, but now I am not so sure.  But this does not mean we are not being watched.  I believe since WWII, we have been watched and observed closely.   But I have no way to prove this, just as I can’t prove anything I said in my first paragraph.  I am obviously hesitant to say anything I am unable to prove.  I wanted 3I/ATLAS to be my proof.  But is it just sitting on the edge of the solar system watching us?  I often wish I knew more than I do.  How much longer do I have to wait for the arrival of the Messiah? I can’t answer this question.  It is an educated guess that all the pieces of Revelation are in place.  But the word “educated” is a key word.  It seems that anyone guesses about the future.  How “educated” is any prophet’s guess?  I ask God only one question:  H...

 It’s one thing to believe in Angels and quite another to experience them.  I never doubted God and His Judgment.  My problem was always with people and not God.  I knew many people felt they judged for God.  People judge only for themselves.  Judgment makes people feel good in their own skin.   But while I always knew that God judged both Murder and Suicide, I felt God made exceptions.  But I had to learn that all other sins don’t matter to God.  People judge to maintain a sense of societal order.  But I had to learn from Angels or I would believe what I believed.   Without my Angels I wouldn’t be here today.  I didn’t have near death experiences to teach me about God.  My near death experiences were for others.  I have no fear of death and dying.  I have no fear about life and living.  God gave me a secret and it’s my belief that He has to protect His secret.   I have revealed this secret to a few. ...

 We all know about terabytes now, but there is memory past terabytes known as Petabytes.  Some large corporations use petabytes, but then there are brontobytes and yottabytes.  The computers used for the moon landing had memory of kilobytes.  We have had more memory in the first Nintendos than the memory in computers used for the moon landing.   But it’s not just memory but the speed that memory can be accessed.  I remember when the speed was 2600 kilobytes, but now for home use we measure speed in gigabytes.  I can remember the noise connecting a land line to a server.  Things have really changed in 25 years.   The amount of memory accessed quickly is mind-boggling.  Speed can be measured in terabytes.  The first computers took up rooms for kilobytes.  Now we have smartphones that do more than a desktop did in the early nineties.  When futurists try to figure out what is next they may be thinking about terabytes and petab...

 I frequently wake up in the early mornings between three and five o’clock in the morning.  I have learned these are the spiritual hours.  If I can’t get back to sleep I often grab my laptop and will watch a video designed to pit me back to sleep.  Sometimes the vids are of old radio shows or perhaps a vid designed to lull me back to sleep. Once in a great while I will get out of bed and go to the bathroom but I almost always fall back asleep.  I avoid any vids about news.  I try to choose something that will lull me back to sleep.  I very seldom get out of bed during these hours.  I think once I came out to the lanai with a pipe, but I almost always get back to sleep.   It is said that God wakes us at this  time to talk to us.  Very seldom is it stress that wakes me up in Spiritual hours.  Sometimes I need to get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom.  I drink a lot of liquid during the day trying to consume...

 Is AI replacing God?  Actually, AI just might be the last big thing.  Some say we will colonize Mars.  But the physics say that will never happen.  Satan tried to be equal to God.  He wanted to create and God wouldn’t let him.  Anything that seeks to be equal to God won’t win.  The ultimate choice is deciding who lives and who dies.  That choice belongs only to God—others He will punish. My Angels told me enough that I don’t worry about AI or going to Mats.  God will not be replaced.  He has made his choices for us.  And for those who don’t believe in God might become believers as they attempt to try to replace God.  They don’t share my faith but I am not sure I care.   I might be a voice in the wilderness, but I don’t care about this either.  I do my thing and let God do His thing.  If He wants me to be heard, I will be heard.  And if not, then my Angels were just for me and a very few.  Shakespe...

 I don’t smoke very much Aromatic pipe tobacco, but I went to a search engine asking for the best Aromatic pipe tobaccos for spring.  First on the list was Peaches and Cream by Peter Stokkebye.  I decided to put eight ounces of it for my next order.  It gets a 3.3 star review out of five on Smoking Pipes with about 26 reviews.  Aromatics generally don’t get high reviews.  I order about 16 ounces a month sometimes with a two ounce tin of something else.  I’m not sure I’ll like Peaches and Cream, but thought it might give off a pleasant room note my wife would like.   I have about a half dozen pipe tobacco reviews on the Smoking Pipes website, but doubt seriously I’ll review it.  I can get excited about a new tobacco I’ve ordered, but I’m not thrilled about ordering Aromatics any longer.  I got tired of Autumn Evening because I can take only so much of maple pancakes.   Peter Stokkebye makes good tobacco blends and it seems more pipe ...
