glorycloud's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- propaganda and empire It is 1:07 PM Tuesday afternoon here in West Michigan. It was sunny this morning, but now it is cloudy. It is 36 degrees and we are predicted to have snow this coming Thursday and Friday. We are back to Winter weather once again. I got up this morning around 5:45 AM. My sciatica woke me up and I decided to just get up and face another day of prayer. When I came upstairs it was 6:05 AM and Carol was still in bed. I made a fresh pot of coffee and then wrote in my paper diary. Carol got up around 7 o'clock AM, when she got up I was making myself oatmeal for breakfast. After breakfast I wrote some more in my paper diary and read from a volume titled, 'The Life of Jesus Christ' Part Two Volume 1, Chapters 1-57 By Ludolph of Saxony. Carol and I had morning devotions around 9 o'clock AM. After devotions we prayed and then Carol left to do errands. I left the house around 10 o'clock AM to visit Bluestockings Book Shoppe and visit southside Goodwill Thrift Store. I bought these used books at Bluestocking Book Shoppe this morning for my library- 'Propaganda And Empire: The Manipulation of British Public Opinion, 1880-1960' By John Mackenzie 'Hannibal: A History Of The Art Of War Among The Carthaginians And Romans Down To The Battle Of Pydna, 168 B.C.
