It’s Strange

-

 First time in 32 years that Easter and  my Christmas are a week apart and both fall on a Sunday.  This makes this coming week the holiest of weeks for me.  But I’d rather celebrate His birthday first and then His death and resurrection.  But it is what it is.  And there is no way I’ll change Christmas to April 12.  But I celebrate two Christmases a year almost six months apart.  

There is no way Jesus was born with snow on the ground.  So. I give December 25 to Santa and give April 12 to Jesus.  Christmas is more pagan than Easter.  We don’t really know when Jesus was born except I do.  But I can’t change culture.  December 25 belongs to a secular Christmas.  But for me April 12 is the date.  It could be possible that back in about 33AD Easter and Christmas were the same date, but there is no way of knowing this.  

Today is Good Friday and a holiday for many believers. The Sabbath was changed to the Christian Sunday in honor of His resurrection.  It is the culture norm now to make Sunday’s a holy day.  Sunday’s aren’t as holy today as it was back in my day.  Back then stores were closed and many did not do much on Sunday’s but go to church and make it a day of relaxation.  .  

So, today is a special day and starting Sunday will be a special week.  I’ll relax today with my Arcobaleno pipe from Savinelli with some English Luxury by Cornell and Diehl.  My coffee this morning is a special blend from Amazon.  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...

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 ...

Most Important

 I’m not sure that Peace is more important than love but in a way they go hand-in-hand.  I wasn’t going to write today, but I got to thinking about my Peaceful feeling today.  I feel Peaceful as I sit and smoke my pipe, but life isn’t always peaceful.  But feeling Peaceful is the first step to loving ourselves.  And if it’s there it goes outward from us. I began a post this morning and felt it wasn’t very good and thought I’m might not post today.  I’ve had my morning coffee and am on my third bowl of pipe tobacco for the day, but I have this most peaceful feeling about life and thought I’d share this with you.  Life comes at us and we don’t always feel either peaceful or loving.  But when we take time to meditate on Peace we are filled with it. I wish I could explain it better, but we need to shut out the world and take time for ourselves.  That’s the best way I can describe it.  It is a Spiritual gift we seek.  If we want it then ...
