glorycloud's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- dismal ditty It is 11:28 AM late Saturday morning here in West Michigan. We woke up this morning to snow on the ground. The last two days it has been raining snow. Winter has come back with a wicked vengeance. I got up this morning around 6:30 AM. When I came upstairs I found the house dark. Carol had not gotten up yet to face another day of unceasing prayer. I made a fresh pot of coffee and then did my sciatica exercises. Carol got up as I was writing in my paper diary and reading from a volume titled, 'Reformed Systematic Theology: Spirit and Salvation' Volume 3 by Beeke and Smalley. In this volume 'Reformed Systematic Theology: Spirit and Salvation' I have read almost 800 pages thus far. I do not know what I will read this afternoon. I have these books on my To Be Read Pile on my reading table by my living room recliner chair- 'An Impatient Life: A Memoir' By Daniel Bensaid 'British Empire: Resistance, Repression, And Revolt' by Richard Gott 'The Gospel Singer' A Novel by Harry Crews 'Sing Backwards And Weep: A Memoir' by Mark Lanegan 'Hourglass: Time, Memory, Marriage' A Memoir by Dani Shapiro Yesterday I read during the late afternoon hours, 'British Empire: Resistance, Repression, And Revolt' by Richard Gott. I read during the evening hours till I went to bed, 'An Impatient Life: A Memoir' By Daniel Bensaid Translated by David Fernback. Yesterday in the mail I did receive a book I had ordered from VERSO Books titled, 'How I Became a Socialist' by William Morris "the first of William Morrie's political writings to be published for nearly fifty years" Introduction by Owen Hatherley. Due to the bad snowy icy weather it is too dangerous to drive anywhere. So here I sit in this warm house as the Russians bomb the citizens of Ukraine. Right now people of Ukraine are being slaughtered by the Russians. I can't think of anything else to report. Next Friday Carol flies out to the Northwest to visit our son Josiah and his family for ten days. I suppose I will close to eat lunch and pray. 11:51 a.m. - 2022-03-26 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
