It All Depends

-

 No one knows.  I don't count because I'm not sure I care.  But I won't explain that.  I'm thinking I live on borrowed time.  So, technically I don't count.  But excluding myself from the question, no one knows their future.  Okay, that's the question of the day.  How much time do you have left?  No one knows.  But it was a question posed by many Christians to get people thinking about eternity and many people hate the question.  But it doesn't bother me at all.

Most don't want to think about it.  I do and I don't think about it.  I could say I don't care about myself.  The question doesn't bother me at all, which is why I can ask it.  In fact, I would say that my getting older doesn't bother me.  I often wish I could explain more about it and why it doesn't concern me, but it doesn't.  I don't take unnecessary risks with my life.

But I simply don't worry about how much time I have left.  Now, I worry about others.  If I didn't care then I have no worries.  But I worry only up to a certain point.  I put lives in the care of my Guides.  If I were Divine then I'd know.  But I live with beliefs because I am human.  

I just never thought I'd see 73, but not because of death.  But again that gets complicated.  I like to keep things simple.  When I allow my Spirit Guides to work, I really have no worries.  But then everyone has worries of some kind or another, but for me the end of life isn't one of them.  If it were, I'm not sure.  Maybe I'd be thinking about planning for it, but if there is a problem with my thinking it's that I have made no plans for it.

My wife recently had a bout with pneumonia and my son from Ohio asked whether he should come down.  My wife told him no funeral arrangements have been made for her, which was quite true.  We all believed she'd be fine and now she is.  But yeah, I worry about her as I do others, but really, there is no reason to panic, because everyone is going to be okay.

But sure, something unexpected could happen; and of course, insurance companies, and even lawyers will say to plan for the unexpected.  A lot of religious people will say the same thing, but right now I have no worries about the end of my life.  And really most don't.  So' I live in the now with my Boswell pipe with some some Lane 1-Q while drinking a cup of Organic Bella Maria coffee.  And as Jesus says, I'll let tomorrow take care of itself.  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...
