fixes him a state of eternal life in Christ

It is 2:35 PM Monday afternoon here in Western Michigan. Outside this afternoon it is warm and cloudy.

I got up this morning around 7:30 AM. When I came upstairs I found Carol cooking herself breakfast. I had a typical morning this morning. All my mornings are typical, which is fine with me. Carol left this morning around 8:30 AM after we had morning devotions.

While Carol was gone doing errands I wrote in my paper diary and read from a book titled, 'Regeneration, Faith, and Repentance' by Thomas Cole.

Around 11:20 AM the floor men came to fix something and Carol arrived home from her errands.

In the mail this afternoon I received a book I had ordered titled, 'A Guide to God to Go to God Or An Explanation of the Perfect Pattern of Prayer, The Lord's Prayer' by William Gouge A Puritan Reprint.

There is no much happening around here this afternoon. Last night we watched on PBS A Mystery 'Professor T'. Carol went to bed around 10 o'clock PM and I went downstairs and read till 11 o'clock PM 'The Whole Armor of God' by William Gouge A Puritan Reprint.

I suppose I will close to drift.

5 C.M. Isaac Watts
The Wisdom of God. 1 Cor. 1. 24; Eph. 3. 9-11

1 The Lord, descending from above,
Invites his children near,
While power, and truth, and boundless love
Display their glories here.

2 Here, in thy gospel's wondrous frame,
Fresh wisdom we pursue;
A thousand angels learn thy name,
Beyond whatever they knew.

3 Thy name is writ in fairest lines;
Thy wonders here we trace;
Wisdom through all the mystery shines,
And shines in Jesus face.

4 The law its best obedience owes
To our incarnate God;
And thy revenging justice shows
Its honours in his blood.

5 But still the lustre of thy grace
Our warmer thoughts employs;
Gilds the whole scene with brighter rays,
And more exalts our joys.
