Dress Code

-

 Is there a dress code for one who has had an experience with Angels?  I have often thought about this.  My own dress code is nothing fancy.  Often I wear shorts, t-shirts, or some tropical shirt and tennis shoes or just tennis sneakers.  I once bought a monk’s robe I was going to wear with sandals and with a cross around my neck.

I wore that outfit around the house for a day and thought it looked stupid to wear in public.  Then I wore jeans and a regular shirt up north, but here it has been pretty much shorts, t-shirt, and tennis loafers.  I very seldom wear socks, but I feel blending in is much better than standing out.  I own a suit and a couple of sports coats, but still being comfortable is much better for me.

I own a couple of sweatpants I can wear with sweatshirts, but I seldom dress up to go out.  I’m an old retired guy who has no need for suits.  I don’t dress for success nor do I ever dress up these days.  I lounge around in the shorts I sleep in and change my t-shirt daily.  I shower much less these days, but in hot summer months I’ll wipe myself down with bathing cloths to rid myself of sweat and cool off.  

But thinking that I, in some way, need to stand out from the crowd, I don’t think so.  I’ve given thought to it.  I used to drive a nicer more luxurious car, but we just need basic transportation these days.  I still want an older Miata MX5, but that car is too impractical for us.  I given thought to ownership, but a car is all we need to own.  

We rid ourselves of a lot of stuff we accumulated over the years and there isn’t much we want.  I have a modest cd collection and a few records I’d like to put in a memory stick, but apart from this there isn’t anything I need or want.  Keeping life simple is best.  But as for standing out in some way isn’t important to me.  

I watch news vids on YouTube, but these days too much news is too stressful.  I’d rather listen to quiet music and relax with a pipe.  My pipe collection is modest at best with some pipes being fifty years old.  There just isn’t a lot I need apart from maintaining my pipes and buying tobacco once a month.   Today my pipe is my Danish Fancy Rungstad pipe with some Peter Stokkebye Peaches and Cream pipe tobacco.  My coffee this morning is Stumptown Holler Mountain.  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. ...

Kind Of

-
 I’m kind of anti-social, but in my thinking it’s for good reason.  I’m pretty shy about my Angels.  They define who I am.  I seek to protect them as much as I can.  I’m willing to share my space, but only with a few.  Other than this I’m quiet about my Angels and it’s why I prefer solitude over many.  They say opposites attract and in my case this is very true.   I’m attracted to outgoing people.  In this regard my wife and I are opposites.  I can force myself to be an extrovert, but this is not my nature.  I prefer a quiet life of mostly solitude.  In this day of the Internet people are either outgoing or they will be alone.  I am happiest with a mind that doesn’t think too much.  But stress can give me overload.   I need diversions from life to keep my mind from overthinking.  This has been a problem for me for most of my life—even from a very young age.  Too many people and too much input causes my ...
