glorycloud's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- though the world is a valley of tears, heaven is a mountain of spices (Song of Solomon 8:14) It is 1:38 PM Monday afternoon on a cold sunny cloudy day. Outside is partly sunny and 33 degrees. It is good day to go take pictures of the sky, the clouds, and Nature. I got home from the Book Nook around 1:10 PM and then ate lunch. Carol texted me telling me she was boarding her plane headed for Grand Rapids MI. The Book Nook was not busy so I read from a book titled, 'High White Notes" The Rise and Fall of Gonzo Journalism' by David S. Wills.

I woke up real early this morning due to have a very strange dream. I was up by 6 o'clock AM and made myself oatmeal for breakfast. After breakfast I wrote in my paper diary, prayed and read from a book titled, 'The Abuse of God's Grace' By Nicolas Claget (1610-1663). I left for the Book Nook around 9:35 AM and it is now 2:03 PM. Time keeps going by. 2:08 p.m. - 2021-11-22 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
