glorycloud's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- bone crushing It is 1:01 PM Thursday afternoon here in West Michigan. It is a gray humid day. No evidence of there being a sun in the gray sky today. I am once again running on empty so I won't take up your time with my blabbering's. I got up this morning around 6:45 AM and came upstairs to find my wife still sleeping. I warmed up a cup of coffee and then wrote in my paper diary. Carol got up around 7:30 AM. I read this morning mainly from my new Reformation Commentary on Second Corinthians. Carol did read to me like she does every morning Paul Tripp's devotional book, 'New Morning Mercies' then she read a portion of the Bible recommended by Tripp. After reading the Bible Carol and I prayed. Josie came over around 9:30 AM (Carol baby-sits Josie). I left the house around 10 o'clock AM to visit thrift stores and Bluestocking Book Shop in search of used books to add to my library. I bought these used books at Bluestocking this morning- 'Subtle Bodies' A Novel by Norman Rush 'The Old Man And Me' A Novel by Elaine Dundy (New York Review Books) 'Isis Unveiled: A Master-Key To The Mysteries Of Ancient And Modern Science And Theology' Two Volumes by H.
