I walk with the King

It is 1:37 PM Friday afternoon here in Western Michigan. It is partly sunny and 78 degrees. A good day to grill hotdogs. Carol last night grilled hotdogs. I am not into grilling meat. I do not like being covered with the smell of burnt hotdogs.

I got up this morning around 7 o'clock AM. When I came upstairs Carol was getting ready to go meet two girlfriends for breakfast. I spent the morning writing in my paper diary and reading from these two books-

'Theoretical-Practical Theology-Redemption in Christ' Volume 4 by Petrus Van Mastricht

'The Love of Christ-Expository Sermons on Verses from Song of Solomon chapters 4-6' by Richard Sibbes

I also this morning filmed a short video for my Youtube channel Friday Reads. Josie came here around 9:35 AM, because Carol was going to take her to tennis at 11 o'clock AM. Carol got home around 10:35 AM.

It has been a normal day. I did leave the house late this morning to check local thrift stores to look at their used books and saw nothing.

I suppose I will close to pack CD's.

In sorrow I wandered, my spirit oppressed,
But now I am happy—securely I rest;
From morning till evening glad carols I sing,
And this is the reason—I walk with the King.

Refrain

I walk with the King, hallelujah!
I walk with the King, praise His name!
No longer I roam, my soul faces home,
I walk and I talk with the King.

For years in the fetters of sin I was bound,
The world could not help me—no comfort I found;
But now like the birds and the sunbeams of spring,
I’m free and rejoicing—I walk with the King.

Refrain

O soul near despair in the lowlands of strife,
Look up and let Jesus come into your life;
The joy of salvation to you He would bring—
Come into the sunlight and walk with the King.

Refrain
