Easter is NOT a Myth

-

I wish there was some way I could prove Easter is not a myth as some would have us believe.  I am the only proof of all I’ve said.  As long as I am alive all I’ve said is true.  But how can I be so sure?  Because I am sure.  But is that proof enough?  It ‘s all I have.  I am all I have.  As long as I am alive it’s all true.  That is all I can say.  Easter is not a myth because I say so.  

But where does my courage lie?  Well, that might be debatable,  I could just be making it all up.  Maybe I think too highly of myself.  But really I would just be lying to myself.  I could just be a crazy old man.  Actually, I have used that as excuse for many things I’ve done and said.  Maybe I am a crazy old man.   But what if I’m not a crazy old man?  Death would be the only proof I have lied.  

I fear pain and suffering, but not death.  And maybe I’m an old man in denial about the finality of life.  But what if what I’ve said is true?  Then I live.  Today I live.  So, it’s all true.  Each day I live is truth in what I’ve said.  But it’s the only proof I have.  

Is that enough?  For me it is no matter what anyone may think.  So, this is how I celebrate Easter.  I’m alive not planning for death.  Either I’m a crazy old man or I’m right.  Which is it?  Living is my only proof.  So I live.  And as I live I relax about it all and let God worry about it as I smoke my pipe and try to think as Jesus did while He was human.  I do that by smoking my Angel pipe and try to be the best me I can be.  My tobacco this morning is Old Professor and my coffee this morning is Mt. Comfort coffeee from Guatemala.  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...

 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...
