glorycloud's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the reinvention of history It is in the death flow 3:49 PM Friday afternoon. I just woke myself from dozing in the living room easy chair. Outside right now the sun is shining, but it is cold. This morning my wife and I left the house to do errands and to visit a Salvation Army Thrift Store. At this thrift store I found these used books to Add to our library. "Revolutionaries: A New History of The Invention of America" by Jack Rakove "Kearny's March: The Epic Creation of the American West, 1846-1847" by Winston Groom "Twilight at Monticello: The Final Years of Thomas Jefferson" biography by Alan Pell Crawford "1812 War With America" by Jon Latimer "Thucydides: The Reinvention of History" by Donald Kagan "Ecstatic Nation: Confidence, Crisis, And Compromise, 1848-1877" by Brenda Wineapple "Revolutionary Characters-What Made The Founders Different" by Gordon S. Wood In the mail this afternoon I received a new book titled, "Sinai And The Saints: Reading Old Covenant Laws For The New Covenant Community" by James M. Todd III. This morning I got up around 6:20 AM. I am still fighting a cold and a sore throat. So I got up made a fresh pot of coffee and then messed with our main computer. When my wife got up to face the light of day I made a pot of oatmeal for breakfast. After breakfast I wrote in my paper diary and read, "The Last Adam: A Theology Of The Obedient Life Of Jesus In The Gospels" by Brandon D. Crowe. I read this book till my wife and I left to do stuff around town. Last night I watched taped television shows with my wife and went to bed around 11:30 PM. Do not know what time my wife came to bed. Our lives are zooming by. It will soon be time to throw in the towel and accept the final outcome. I will close to feel wasted. 4:18 p.m. - 2017-02-03 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
