glorycloud's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- anywhere but there It is 1:55 PM Thursday afternoon HERE and not there. It is 86 degrees and sunny/humid. Yesterday I saw a kid running down our street dressed in sweats and a hoodie over his head. It looked to me he was seeking to build up a sweat. I see people all over place running. Where are they running to? No one can escape the Second Coming of Christ Jesus. I can't recall exactly what TIME I got up this morning. I think it was around 6:15 AM, but not absolutely sure. When I came upstairs I think Carol was getting ready to go for a morning walk, but I am not sure. My memory is poor these days. I do remember us reading a Psalm from the Old Testament, also reading 'The Valley of Vision' and then we prayed. I wrote in my paper diary and read this morning, 'The Wells Of Salvation Opened' by William Spurstowe. This morning I did leave around 11 o'clock AM to pick-up a prescription and to visit nearby thrift stores to look at their used books. I found these used books today at Goodwill thrift store- 'Zuckerman Bound: A Trilogy And Epilogue' a novel by Philip Roth 'Angels at the Ritz' Short Stories by William Trevor 'Memento Mori' a novel by Muriel Spark 'Grant Moves South 1861-1863' Part One Of The Classic Civil War Study Of General Ulysses S. Grant' biography by Brice Catton 'Grant Takes Command 1863-1865' Part Two Of The Classic Civil War Study Of General Ulysses S. Grant' biography by Brice Catton This afternoon I have been writing in my paper diary and reading from a used novel I bought yesterday at Bluestocking titled, 'Anywhere But Here' a novel by Mona Simpson. In the mail this afternoon I received a used book I had ordered titled, 'Prejudices: First, Second, and Third Series' by H. L. Mencken [Library of America]. Since I am falling asleep I will close to drift. 2:12 p.m. - 2023-07-27 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
