Generally Speaking

-

 Generally speaking February sucks.  February has Ground Hog’s Day, Valentine’s Day, and President’s Day, but according to meteorologists most of February is the dead of winter.  Even if we celebrated the birth of our country in February and not July 4, nothing can improve on February.  

I’m not sure what I have, but whatever it is doesn’t act like a cold.  It just makes the first of February worse even here in Florida.  The high today is what it is—52 degrees.  There is no football today.  It is a great day to stay inside and curl up with a good book.  

My wife and I were in search of a small space heater for use on the lanai where I can sit and smoke my pipe without freezing.  We went to Walmart and their shelves were empty.  Amazon could ship us one which we would receive in March.  We went to ALDI’s and they had two on a shelf.  We bought one there.  I am using it now.  

I didn’t have much to say in the past few days but got to thinking about the February’s we spent up north.  52 degrees is bearable but still cold for Florida.  I’m watching a live feed from NYC and would rather be here than there.  The live feed is of a NYC snow storm.  At least it is sunny today as I sit here on the lanai smoking my Nording Number 3 pipe with some Old College pipe tobacco.  I’m drinking some hot SleepyTime tea with honey.  Thank you for your time and hope you are warm where you are.  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...

 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...

A Different Kind of Birthday

-
I might be the only one my age who says I’m fourteen today but I suppose if you were to ask my family I’m in my second childhood so-to-speak.  But yesterday I made a big deal out of my heart attack but today not so much.    It’s not that I fear death—no, I fear pain.  Death doesn’t frighten me in the least.  I have talked with many who have had that kind of heart attack and the women have said it’s worse than child birth.  There really isn’t a pain like it they have said.  If I could go without the pain I’d be in heaven right now.   But if I had to go through that pain to get there I’d rather live.  But a lot has happened in these last fourteen years.  And I’ve been alive to live my life relatively pain free.  My appendicitis wasn’t all that painful but the stomach tube was annoying enough.  But we sold our home and invested in another place in NY and now live with our son here in Florida.   I’m limited in what u do and I ...
