Life’s Greatest Failure

-

 Everyone has failures.  But when we quit life on our own terms that is the greatest failure.  I’ll die on God’s terms but not mine.  I’ll live regardless.  I could say death is my greatest enemy, but not when God decides.  My thinking is that Satan would love to see me die.  But If I do go, it will be according to His terms.  No one will decide for God; not even Satan.  

My Angels told me my battles with Satan are over.  He will attack any way he can, but I ask my Angels to fight the battles—not me.  This is what gives me the power to live no matter how he attacks.  This is my thinking, but I can’t teach this because this applies to me and to me only.  I can’t explain this any further.  All I can say is that Angels are real and they are evidenced through me.  

Angels do many things.  I don’t doubt the power of Angels.  No do I doubt the power of Satan and his demons.  I can only say they have no power over me.  When I trust my Angels all I can do is trust them to give me those I have to have.  It’s all I can do.  At times I trust myself more than I trust them and that applies to all things and people in my life.  At some point I get tired and just tell them they have to do it.  

I’m too human to trust them all the time, but after 31 years I’m getting better at trusting them, but as I say I am still human.  I’m still not as trusting as I’d like to be.  I still need experience with them and they are constantly teaching me.  Jesus knew from the beginning.  I’m still learning.  And the learning will never stop for me.  I still want to do too much on my own.  But I’m learning.  They knew it would take time.  

Learning comes in steps.  And I’m never sure what steps I’ll take next.  But as I wait on God and my Angels, I just sit, relax with my pipe, and wait.  He can quit using me on His terms but it won’t be on my terms.  My pipe this morning is my Boswell pipe and my tobacco is Autumn Evening.  My coffee this morning is Trader Joe’s Joe.  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...
