It's Sunday Morning

-

At first when I stopped going to church on Sunday's I missed it.  But those days of missing church are long gone.  My wife and I have one Playlist on Spotify we listen to every Sunday morning.  It is called Sunday Morning Coffee put together by Chip Davis and Manheim Steamroller.  It's a Playlist suitable for anytime that is relaxing, but for some reason we just got into the habit of listening to it on Sunday mornings.  

I think Sunday mornings are the best.  Long ago, I felt I had to perform on Sunday mornings and before then it was church every Sunday.  But those days are long gone.  I can wake up on Sunday mornings, make my coffee, and simply relax.  I often wonder if retired pastors still go to church if they don't have to any longer.  My father was still pastoring almost until his passing.  

But I simply don't miss going to church.  Once I learned what salvation was, I just felt it was redundant.  I tried once and learned that I can't.  My wife misses the socialization a church offers, but I don't.  She's found other ways to make up for it.  I might need more socialization, but in a nutshell, I just don't want it.  I got burned out on people long ago.  In fact, being the son of a minister was the beginning.  Being a pastor pretty much ended it.

Now however it is very different.  Some people play golf on Sunday's or go fishing, but on Sunday mornings my wife and I both just take it easy.  If there are chores to be done they can wait.  I'm not sure why Sunday's are the most relaxing, but there are no expectations on Sunday's.  It seems there is nothing that has to be done on Sunday mornings.  It's the only day of the week we both feel this way.  It just seems that Sunday morning is THE most relaxing time of the week.

I have enjoyed my Nording Angel pipe on Sunday mornings.  I have made that the pipe I smoke on Sunday's.  There is no reason for it, but maybe I feel more connected to the Divine on Sunday mornings.  Whatever the reason, it just seems that Sunday mornings are the very best.  So, it is my Angel pipe this morning with some Summer Night Aromatic pipe tobacco and a cup of hot black Guatamalan coffee.  Thank you for your time and Peace to each one of you.

It's About Balance

 I seem to struggle week after week as to how much football I am going to watch.  There for awhile I was watching all the analysis of the collegiate games and decided I was simply paying too much attention to football.  I cut way back last week and as the season begins to unfold I have to ask myself how much is too much?  I didn't watch one pro game last weekend and hadn't followed the analysis of collegiate games all week.   Then I found myself having a kind of withdrawal and decided I can watch whatever football I want to watch as long as it doesn't interfere with my Spirituality.  But at what point is too much too much?  My wife and I talked about this last week as I cut back on watching and we both decided that I like football and I shouldn't have to be thinking about how much or how little I watch.  I enjoy the games.  College more than the pro's.   I don't have to watch the analysis, but I like College Game Day and I like...

Strange

 I can never predict how any of my posts are going to be received but I do get a reaction from my wife quite often, but I'll post about my Spirituality thinking I've said enough and apart from a few other subjects my Spirituality posts do quite well.  I had yesterday's tobacco review done a few days ago and saved it for yesterday and again, it seems my tobacco reviews do quite well.  Then I wrote about my age and it seemed no one cared that much   My wife says that it's my titles for my subjects So, while I have so many subjects to choose from, today it is about how my tobacco choices influence my Spirituality or do they?  Not really.  It's just that I can't smoke my pipes without tobacco.  I could be smoking a lot of things.  Like the question asked when someone thinks you are crazy, " What have I been smoking?"  Well, at least you know.  It's never any "funny" stuff.  You could be asking what I've been drinking.  I have ...

Old Ads

-
 My wife liked my post about old things we remember.  And a lot of what I remembered was good.  But there was some bad things back then that are different today.  Back in the 50's and 60's and even into the 70's advertising in both magazines and TV were incredibly sexist.  I don't have the space in one post to list all the ads, but really they can be summed by saying that a lot of advertising was incredibly sexist. I 've mentioned my wife lit my pipe for me just a few times, but these days she can barely tolerate the aroma of my most flavorful Aromatic tobacco.  She liked everything I said in that post except my mentioning Old Professor pipe tobacco.  Ironically, I like Old Professor the most and she hates it the most.  So, when I mentioned it, she did too.  But back in the day a man smoking a pipe was his lifestyle.  Today, it's a hobby, and not just for men. But too back in the day, no woman could walk down the street without some perv...
