Foggy Christmas Eve

Filed Under: Current Thoughts

I was up in the night and able to see the moonlight as it arched across the sky in the wee hours of the morning of Christmas Eve. Now I’m up and about and it’s foggy, but I’m heartened by brass carols, and the knowledge that the northern hemisphere where I live is leaning toward the sun again and each day will get a little longer until winter yields to spring.

Every carol warms my soul like a wood fire and reminds me that Jesus shall reign from shore to shore one day when moons shall wax and wane no more. I wish you all a quiet, blessed Christmas Eve.

In My Humble Opinion…

IN MY HUMBLE OPINION.
—Invest in black Eddie Bauer T shirts. Short-sleeved in spring and summer. Long-sleeved in fall and winter. One less decision every day. “Legend-wash.”
—Stretch Levi’s or stretch Wranglers. You look manly but you are really wearing jammies. They are wonderful.
—Keen shoes. Nothing better for a guy built like a Clydesdale. They are not pretty but they are comfortable as Crocs on crack.
—Carhartt makes a thick flannel shirt. Invest in a couple, or one for every day of the week. They are not cheap. You will use your old ones for oil rags.
—Don’t sub-tweet. It makes you look petty. No, it shows you are petty. If you have something to say to everyone make it clear. If you have something to say to one person, send a private message. You know who you are. (See what I did there?)
—Out of a box of mixed donuts the mouse will eat the chocolate one.
—If you want a close family, buy a small house.
—Never use tobacco. It’s expensive and too hard to stop. If I ever smoke it will be a pipe but I’m not gunna’ do that unless a sheet comes down from heaven and I get direct orders from Headquarters.
—Wean yourself off food that is not food. If you are overweight see overeating as idolatry and set a goal to lose a pound a week. Cut your portions in half. Eat better food. Eat less food. Drink water. I’m starting this today ? Slow and steady.
—Bud, you’d be wiser not to drink. IMHO. No, I’m not condemning those who do. No, I don’t want to argue about it.
—Water is the beverage and an occasional strawberry lemonade bought from children on the street.
—Be clear. In the absence of Information people usually assume the worst.
—Keep a journal with a long list of good reasons to get up in the morning.
—Know your Bible. Meditate on it every day. Every Sunday go where they teach it in-depth. Build your whole life on the promises of God.
—Life is too short to use cheap pens. Discover quality fountain pens. Pilot. TWSBI. Wing Sung 699. LAMY 2000.
—When lacking inspiration talk a walk and drink cold brew and sweet vanilla cream.
