I’m a Cynic

-

 I’m a cynic about Capitalism and the prosperity Gospel from Rick Warren to Kenneth Copeland.  Why?  If everyone who are followers got rich as they, the Gospel would be wealthy Socialism.  They sell hope and as long as people hope for riches they have a market.  But cynicism kills that hope.  Cynics aren’t allowed.  Cynics lost that hope long ago.  And these churches are failing.  The prosperous preachers are getting old and their wealth has caused the cynicism.  

Young people today are cynics.  They aren’t the followers these churches need to continue.  I was a cynic about ministry long ago seeing churches as the perfect institutions of sSocialism.  Small groups have taken over along with the Internet.  Mega churches are in decline.  It was an experiment that failed because God got replaced by money.  

I am a cult of one.  I have my own theology which would be rejected by most.  I have my own dates which apply only to me.  I have my own way of talking to God.  I avoid public praying if I can.  I am my own theologian.  Does my faith get lonely?  It is a wise person who can be alone without being lonely.  

I won’t make this post too lengthy this morning.  I am preparing myself for my own Holy Day tomorrow.  I am smoking my Alpha pipe with Cornell and Diehl Smooth English and my coffee is single origin organic Breakfast Blend coffee from Sprouts.  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...

Pipes and Other Things

-
 If anything happened to my pipes or my new cabinet or anything else I might own, they are only things.  I can live without things.  I don't drink enough alcohol to be an alcoholic, for example, so no, I don't need alcohol.  I'm writing this today as a reminder as to why I smoke a pipe.  I smoke a pipe for meditative purposes and for relaxation.  There are  no other reasons why I smoke a pipe.  I am not addicted to my pipes or the tobacco I put in them.   It is a known fact  that cigarette smokers smoke cigarettes because they are addicted to them.  I watch a lot of YouTube videos and one video I watched was about tobacco commercials from the late fifties through the sixties.  Those commercials sold cigarettes as pleasure and enjoyment with no mention of nicotine in any of the two hour video of ads.  The emphasis was on what cigarettes could do for you.  A lot of research and planning went into the filters of cig...

It’s About Time

-
 I died nearly twice in the past fifteen years.  The next major event just might end my life, so I try to just take it easy.  My philosophy about life has changed for many reasons.  It might seem that having an experience with Angels might be THE definitive event in a life, but instead of waiting to die I await the coming of the Messiah.   My heart functions at about 50%, so I try to avoid stress as much as I can.  I take medication for both my heart and my mind as I know myself quite well.  My son gave me his old Apple Watch I wear religiously.  If I should fall and get hurt, I can send as SOS message to my wife.  It detects falls.  It can do an EKG but I have yet to figure that function out.   Stress, however, is my worst enemy.  It not only can affect my heart, but my mind as well.  I check my heart beats per minute every so often and I can pretty much guess what the results are.  I am very much in tune with both m...
