glorycloud's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- limited government It is 2:36 PM Monday afternoon here in West Michigan. It is another wet gray dismal looking day. We might see some sunshine tomorrow. I was up this morning around 6:50 AM. Once again a crazy intense dream woke me up. I got up and came upstairs to find Carol drinking coffee and reading her Bible. My wife reads through the Bible every year, the Psalms twice and the New Testament twice. I got myself a cup of coffee and sat in the dining room. When I get up in the morning I always first go to my Study and get my paper diary materials-I write on a clip board. I also get out of my Main Study what books I plan to read for morning devotions. This morning I got out to read these two books. 'What Is Christianity?' by Herman Bavinck Translated & Edited By Gregory Parker Jr. 'Guidebook for Instruction in the Christian Religion' by Herman Bavinck Translated And Edited By Gregory Parker Jr. & Cameron Clausing Carol left this morning to have breakfast with a friend around 8:30 AM. I left the house around 9:35 AM to volunteer at the Book Nook our local library Used Books Store. The Book Nook was not busy, but I did have a long conversation with a fellow book lover while volunteering. I bought these used books today from the Book Nook- 'Ernest Hemingway Selected Letters 1917-1961' Edited by Carlos Baker 'Ernest Hemingway: A Life Story' biography by Carlos Baker 'Hemingway, The Writer as Artist' biography by Carlos Baker 'Ernest Hemingway' [Literary Lives] by Anthony Burgess 'Hemingway: A Life Without Consequences' biography by James R. Mellow 'Hemingway's Paris' by Robert E. Gajdusek 'Strange Tribe a family memoir' by John Hemingway 'Daguerreotypes and Other Essays' by Isak Dinesen 'Passionate Nomad: The Life of Freya Stark' biography by Jane Fletch Geniesse While at the Book Nook I did read with much profit from a book titled, 'The Ideological Origins of the American Revolution' by Bernard Bailyn. Last night I mainly read from a book titled, 'Democracy's Muse: How Thomas Jefferson Became An FDR Liberal, A Reagan Republican, and a Tea Party Fanatic, All The While Being Dead' by Andrew Burstein. In the mail this afternoon I received a used book I had ordered titled, 'Margaret Sanger: A Life Of Passion' biography by Jean H. Baker. Well I am very tired so I will close to wait for Time to flow into Eternity. 3:07 p.m. - 2022-06-06 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
