a new heaven and a new earth

It is 2:34 PM Tuesday afternoon here in Western Michigan. It is 76 degrees and the sky is hazy with smoke from forest fires burning in Canada and Washington State.

I got up this morning around 7:10 AM. When I came upstairs Carol was getting ready to go for a walk and then meet a friend for breakfast.

I spent the morning writing in my paper diary and reading from a book titled, 'Christian Faith & The Theological Life' by Romanus Cessario, O.P.. I also filmed a video this morning for my Youtube channel.

Carol picked up the girls Josie and Cora before going to the library to pick up books for her Woman's Neighborhood Book Club/which meets this evening.

There is not much else to report so I will close. I usually feel sluggish in the afternoons. I will close to drift.

"[1] And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
[2] And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
[3] And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
[4] And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
[5] And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
[6] And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
[7] He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
[8] But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death." Rev. 21:1-8
