Decent stache day. I’m gravitating toward this style. #pipesmoking #pioetobacci #moustache

Getting a pipe full at sunset.

Just got home from presenting at a conference last week. Relaxing with a pipe and cup of coffee. Smoking my @PhillipRivara with some John Cotton No.1. #pipes #pipesmoking #smokingpipe #botl #tobaccopipe #ytpc #thepipeprofessor #pipetobacco

The “Christians are anti-science rubes” line is getting old. And it just got blown out of the sky, literally. Meet Victor Glover, pilot of Artemis II. This dedicated man of faith just completed the first crewed mission around the Moon since 1972. While looking back at the Earth from deep space, he didn’t have a crisis of faith. He said the view reinforced his belief in creation. And he’s not new to this. Glover has already taken communion cups and a Bible into space on previous missions. He’s been open about his faith the entire time. He’s not the first either. Back in 1968, the Apollo 8 crew, the first humans to leave Earth orbit and circle the Moon, read from the book of Genesis on live television on Christmas Eve. “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth…” Millions heard it. The world didn’t collapse. Science didn’t shatter. The mission succeeded. Funny how the guys literally orbiting the Moon never got the “faith equals dumb” memo. Real faith lasts under pressure while the “Christians are anti-science” stereotype crumbles. The same people who mock believers as backward rubes have no answer for the long line of men and women of faith who have pushed the frontiers of science and exploration precisely because they believed the universe was orderly, intelligible, and created by a rational God. From the Apollo 8 crew reading Genesis to Victor Glover carrying Scripture and communion into lunar orbit, the pattern is clear. The more some people see of the cosmos, the more convinced they become that it didn’t just happen by accident. This is what real faith looks like. Not the version that hides from hard questions or fears the data. The version that looks at the Earth from 240,000 miles away and sees the hand of the Creator even more clearly. The version that carries a Bible into space because the same God who hung the stars is the same God who hung on the cross. To every atheist who loves to trot out the “anti-science” insult. The evidence keeps stacking up against you. The men and women who have actually left the planet and looked back don’t seem to agree with your narrative. And to every believer who’s ever been mocked for holding both faith and reason, keep going. Keep exploring. Keep speaking truth when they ask. The King who set the stars in place is the same King who rose from the grave. He is risen. He is risen indeed. All glory to the King who made the heavens and the earth, and who still calls men and women of faith to the very edge of it.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m a happy laborer in the Fields of the Lord, but after my sore and weary body needs rest. Nothing for it than some Stokkebye De Luxe Bullseye and a bit of liquid anodyne.

A pipe of leisure after Herculean labor on the property. Trying the 4-Q from @WatchCityCigar (Why bother tagging them? They never acknowledge) I do a mini review in the replies when done.

@Papijoe62 Awesome!

Thanks for the signal boost @GKPipeGuy! Since you turned me on to 1-Q, I’m looking forward to comparing this saltier Yankee version 😂

This arrived just after I lit my last bowl. Which is a bummer because I’m dying to try it! Maybe I’ll bundle up after dark and at least take a few hits in my tasting pipe. 4-Q! Cracks me up every time!

A briar tankard-style churchwarden with two different stems. This is the last pipe to order I will be doing for a while. I’m gonna be dedicating some time to making some of the pipes I’ve been putting off. I’ll be posting them on my website as I make them. Keep an eye out.

A nice, if cool day. Chill settling in at sunset. Escudo Navy De Luxe in the Baraccini.

Cool picture!

We’re out here gettin it done this evening.

Here's the pipe I started last night. It's carved from Ash, stained burgundy and tan, and buffed to a high gloss.
