Frequently

-

 I frequently wake up in the early mornings between three and five o’clock in the morning.  I have learned these are the spiritual hours.  If I can’t get back to sleep I often grab my laptop and will watch a video designed to pit me back to sleep.  Sometimes the vids are of old radio shows or perhaps a vid designed to lull me back to sleep.

Once in a great while I will get out of bed and go to the bathroom but I almost always fall back asleep.  I avoid any vids about news.  I try to choose something that will lull me back to sleep.  I very seldom get out of bed during these hours.  I think once I came out to the lanai with a pipe, but I almost always get back to sleep.  

It is said that God wakes us at this  time to talk to us.  Very seldom is it stress that wakes me up in Spiritual hours.  Sometimes I need to get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom.  I drink a lot of liquid during the day trying to consume about a half gallon of liquid due for my heart.  I had one doctor tell me I had to drink a gallon a day.  

But my cardiologist told me to try to drink at least a half gallon a day.  I have tried to stick to his advice since my heart attack.  And if I consume a lot of liquid at dinner I know I’ll have to wake up to go to bathroom in the middle of the night.  I will always be able to find a vid in the middle of the night to lull me back to sleep.  

I am stressed very little these days making sure I am almost always relaxed and calm.  I don’t believe God wakes me to tell me something or to talk with me.  I do a lot of communicating with God during these hours throughout the  day.  And it’s not always my need to go to bathroom that causes me to awaken between three and five O’clock.  

But I have given thought to this blog during those hours.  But I never think too hard about this blog.  If I have something to say it comes to me.  And if I don’t then I just won’t post for the day.  I do believe however, that often we wake during these hours because something is on our minds.  That’s when God wants to talk with us.  

These two hour in the middle of the night are called Spiritual hours for a good reason.  It’s when everything is usually quiet.  I got a good night’s sleep last night, but I know the Spiritual hours.  Sometimes we need that time and it is why sometimes we wake up during this time.  We don’t sleep as soundly as we age.  And often for good reason.  I make good use of my Spiritual time during the day as I smoke my pipe.  My pipe this morning is my La Roma Valencia pipe with some Cornell and Diehl Old College pipe tobacco.  My coffee this morning is Mondo coffee.  Thank you for your time and Peace and Love to each one of you.

About Good Vs. Evil

-
 My Angels told me Satan wanted to create and God wouldn’t let him, when I asked them if there were physical unions in heaven.  But here on earth creating is good.  God allows us to create all we want, within limits.  But in doing so we do the will of God knowing He is the Giver  of all life.  My Angels didn’t tell me this, but it is my thinking that we have to recognize God is the Giver of ALL life.  This is why every human life is sacred and why only God can take a human life. This is why God will overlook any sin but the taking of Human Life.  This is my theology from my Angels and why it is so important that we control both our hatred and our anger.  This is why there is the taking of human life.  Satan knows this too and why there is evil in this world.  Without righteousness humanity wouldn’t exist. This is why I believe God won’t let the world be destroyed.  There will always be wars and rumors of war, which is why livin...

Bach and a Pipe

-
 Bach was known to drink wine and smoke a pipe.  I did a little research in the area and found he was known to use tobacco in a pipe.  Tobacco came from the New World and before the New world was settled tobacco was traded back and forth.  He had access to tobacco as it took some wealth back then to afford the tobacco.  It was used mostly in the upper classes of Europe and it is said that his cousin supplied him the tobacco. As to whether men of great wealth generally used tobacco is a debate that countries today.  Shakespeare is not known to have smoked tobacco, but it seems he used pot and cocaine, which were found in clay pipes excavated from his property.  But many think it would be scandalous to suggest Shakespeare used tobacco.   When we get to the settling of the New World, pipe smoking was common among men.  The odds are great that great historical figures were pipe smokers, but most of this is conjecture but we simply don’t know. ...

Almost

 Tomorrow ends the 14th year since my hear attack.  I had the widow-maker and only by the grace of God and a good heart surgeon I survived.  I had never experienced such pain in my life!  I knew I wasn’t going to die but my heart was damaged so much it functions at about 50%.   It was a Saturday and we were going to visit my mom.  The timing couldn’t have been better!  We could have been out on the road.  It was about nine O’clock in the morning and I had to pump up a tire on the car.  The funny thing is I had a BP check in October and it was 120/80 with no signs of anything being wrong.   I was about 30 pounds over weight and I simply was not taking very good care of myself.  I was under some duress during that time, but still no sign of it happening.  My wife questioned as to whether it was a heart attack but I told her to call 911.  I had no doubt what was happening.   The squad came and they confirmed it was a hea...
