glorycloud's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Risen Christ It is 11:38 AM late Wednesday morning. It is now 51 degrees outside. I am still pondering whether I want to put on my street clothes and go for a walk someplace. Tomorrow it is predicted to rain. This coming Sunday the weather people are prophesying rain and snow. Our son Josiah and his wife Hannah fly into Grand Rapids late Saturday morning. Carol plans to pick them up at the Gerald Ford Airport in Grand Rapids. It will be good to see Joe and Hannah. I have not seen our son Josiah for over a year. I love my children and our grandchildren. It is a blessing being a father. I personally never had a father. My step-fathers were there but I never got close to them. Recently I figured that my mother (who was killed in a car accident December 1968 Los Angeles Calif.) was married to our two step-fathers for only three years at a time. My mother always had boyfriends before she was killed. I sometimes miss my mother, but she died many years ago. I was 16 years old when my mother died and went into the Eternal State. I never really knew my mother. I am the oldest of five siblings. I am in contact with my two brothers and two sisters by Facebook. The only real family I have known is my own family. It is a blessing having a family in a world filled with strangers. We all need love and acceptance. I started this blog entry because I was reading this morning once again a used book I got yesterday titled, "Dialogues Of Alfred North Whitehead" As Recorded By Lucien Price and came across a statement that is false. Price records this said by Whitehead, "There is no evidence that Paul (the apostle Paul) ever saw Jesus" pg.53. When I read these words I immediately remembered the words of the apostle Paul recorded in the First Letter of the Corinthians, "and He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, and that He was seen by Cephas, then the twelve. After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep. After that He was seen by James, then by all the apostles. Then last of all He was seen by me also, as by one born out of due time" 1 Corinthians 15:4-7. This morning Amazon delivered a book I had ordered titled, "10:04" a novel by Ben Lerner. Well I will close to drift through the rest of the day.
