Thoughts or Prayers

-

I've asked the question whether my thoughts are just thoughts or whether they are actually prayers.  And what is the difference?  I've found there is no difference.  At least for me there isn't.  My wife has had pneumonia for over a week and she gets more of my attention, but do I just think about her and her illness, or am I spending time in prayer for her?  It's both.  I've learned that thoughts are very powerful.

I wrote about this the other day, but wanted to contiiue writing about it, because I think time I spend alone gives me time to think, reflect, and ponder.  As I said the other day there is power in being positive.  So, I'm thinking there is power is positive thoughts.  But when I take time to connect with my Spirit Guides, I'm thinking there is nothing they can't do.  

Being around people more gives me less time for quiet meditatiion.  So, I'm thinking God wants me to have my quiet time not so much for myself but for others.  And I never feel it is time being wasted.  Maybe if I felt my time on this earth was limited by death, I might feel differently than I do.  But I'm thinking my time is limited only by Divine Intervention and not death itself.

So, of course I want the Divine Intervention to occur, but I'm not sitting around waiting for death.  I'm not alone with such thinking.  In fact, many are hoping for the Divine Intervention.  I jokingly said it might be my fault it hasn't occurred.  But even that is foolish thinking.  I just might have completed the task just by being alive.  

So, naturally, my thoughts are about it.   And I'm thinking if God wants me to do more, He'll arrange it so I do more.  I might be doing enough right now.  My 50th class reunion from college is this fall.  I don't plan to attend.  But there are records of things I did back then, some things good and maybe a few things not so good.  But they're recorded.  And I'm thinking my life has a recording of most any place I have been and most things I have done, both good and bad.  

So, maybe I've done enough except now I have time to smoke my pipe and meditate with my thoughts.  I have time to do this.  And I never think of it as time being wasted.  Time alone with God is never wasted nor do I ever feel lonely or aone.  I avoid ruminating or regretting.  I avoid wishful thinking.  In fact I work hard in staying in the now.  

I'm just continuing what I said the other day about the power of thought.  Maybe I just believe my thoughts are powerful, but it's more than belief.  I know they are and if I didn't know this I'd be wasting my time.  And maybe this blog would be a waste of my time and yours.  But I don't think so.  My pipe this morning is my Nording Number 2 pipe with my Special Blend.  My coffee is a hot black cup from the Blue Bottle Coffee Company.  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...
