glorycloud's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the firstfruits of consolation the firstfruits of consolation It is 11:33 PM I need to go to sleep. I have been reading the book SPIRITUAL DESERTION by Voetius and Hoornbeeck. Carol went to sleep on me. I will close with this quote from the treatise on spiritual desertion "The third argument is that the reality of faith does not consist in the abundance and feelings of consolation. There are many things we posses although we do not feel them, as, for example, when a person has lost consciousness. "It is the office of faith to believe the things that are invisible, to hope the things delayed, to acknowledge God as Father even when he presents himself as our enemy." So speaks the man of God Luther." pg. 50 Tomorrow is a Thursday in the flow of existence. I am sure we will get out of the egg hole early tomorrow. Carol has an education day tomorrow so when I get home no one will be Home. Well I need to go to bed and hope for sleep.
