Leave it to the Old Guys

-

 Leave it to the old guys that know what love is.  Lust isn’t just for the young.  But when it comes to love leave it to age to know what love is.  Lust is as easy as falling off a log.  But love is where the work is.  Lust can afford to be picky.  But love is unconditional.  Maybe I can’t speak for all old guys about love and lust, but to love unconditionally is work.  

Okay, maybe I can only speak for myself in all my Angels told me, but one thing I haven’t forgotten is that Jesus died for every single sin but that of taking a human life including one’s own.  No one has a right to make me feel guilt.  Only God can do this.  My sins are between myself and my Angels.  Not that I hide them.  But I have not committed the unforgivable.  

This is why I say I have been saved by Angels.  They saved me from committing the unforgivable.  All lust is forgivable as most are guilty of it if not all.  But to love as I say God does takes a lot of work.  Judging others only as God does is work.  I still have my biases.  And when I fail, I simply say I am not God and know God forgives me for my own biases.  

I say I am not God, but work hard at judging others as I say God does.  I am not God.  Frankly I don’t want to be God.  If this is how God judges, no one can judge for God.  I could go so far to say that I have been judged already.  My place in heaven is secure along with my family.  But I can only say this for myself.  

I cannot speak for any others.  But it is a lot of work to love as I say God does.  This is why I can’t speak for all old guys.  Loving lust is always too easy.  Especially when so many women make it so.  But loving unconditionally is a lot of work.  It can be too much for me at times.  It is not easy to live in this world and judge others only as God does.  But it is something I work on every single day.  

I just don’t sit here smoking my pipe and not doing anything.  My mind is constantly working on many things.  But I think as one gets older one learns what love is.  But to love unconditionally always takes work.  I try to focus on this—even for myself knowing what I already know.  I’m constantly working on the things my Angels told me.  I have a lot to think about.  Lust is just a distraction.  It can be for most anyone.  Just because it’s easy.  Love is hard.  So, I smoke my pipe and focus on the work my Angels need me to do.  My pipe today is my Gettysburg pipe and my tobacco this morning is Bayou Night.  My coffee this morning comes from Sprouts.  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...
