waiting for glory

It is 9:12 PM Monday night or is it Tuesday night? I can not remember what day it is right now. The evening newspaper told me the day is Tuesday the first of July 2008. I am sitting in our dining room typing on my lap top. Josiah is playing computer game on my computer in our living room this evening. Carol went to work around 7:55 PM and will be home at Midnight, she only works four hours this evening. Beth went off to have dinner with girlfriends. I have been listening to music and reading for evening devotions "New Testament Theology Magnifying God in Christ" by Thomas R. Schreiner.

I had another super quiet day. Josiah was gone all day wandering Holland. Josiah told me he played for hours computer game on his lap top at our local public library.

Carol slept all day and got up to eat and drink coffee. Then she got ready for work and left.

Not else to report this evening. Besides reading New Testament theology today I read some more of "London: The Biography" by Peter Ackroyd. I did not read this afternoon any more of "Tree Of Smoke" a novel by Denis Johnson.

Today I mainly read "London: The Biography" and "New Testament Theology Magnifying God in Christ."

I do remember talking to my wife as she ate food this evening. I do not know if my wife finds my conversation interesting? We can not escape each other since we have been married now 29 years. We have learned to live with each other without freaking out or feeling rejected. You take the bad with the good as the old saying goes. Some things will just never be, so learn to live wating for glory. "For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven, if indeed, having been clothed, we shall not be found naked. For we who are in this tent groan, being burdened, not because we want to be unclothed, but further clothed, that mortality may be swallowed up by life.

Now He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.

So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord.

For we walk by faith, not by sight." 2 Corinth. 5:1-7

Beth came home and she took Rudy for a walk around the neighborhood. We have the house open because the weather has been milded the last couple of days.

Well I do not know what else to write so I will close to sit in the darkness and listen to music. Soon it will be time to go to bed and read till I get sleepy.

music: The Sea And Cake “Everybody”
