peace like a river is flooding my soul

It is 3:53 PM Friday afternoon on a cold gray cloudy day. It is 42 degrees presently here in West Michigan. It has been predicted to snow this weekend.

I got up this morning around 7:30 AM. When I came upstairs Carol was getting ready for the day.

I had a typical morning before leaving to volunteer at the Book Nook at 9:40 AM. The Book Nook was busy today, but I was able to read from a book titled, 'Some Pastors And Teachers reflecting a biblical vision of what every minister is called to be' by Sinclair B. Ferguson. I did buy one used book at the Book Nook today titled, 'Betraying Spinoza: The Renegade Jew Who Gave Us Modernity' By Rebecca Goldstein.

Carol bought me two used books today from Bible's For Mexico Thrift Store-'The Spirit of Early Christian Thought: Seeking The Face Of God' by Robert Lewis Wilken and 'The Making of Italy 1796-1870' Edited By Denis Mack Smith.

Last night Carol got home around 8 o'clock PM. When she got home I had been reading, 'Memoirs From Beyond The Grave 1800-1815' by Francois-Rene De Chateaubriand.

I am tired and cold so I will close to wait. Tomorrow is a Saturday, which means we will watch college football. Tomorrow night we babysit Josie and Cora over night, they will go to church with Carol Sunday morning. Emily is flying to Houston TX to help her sister move into a new house.

Peace like a river is flooding my soul,
Since Christ, my Savior, maketh me whole;
Sweet peace abiding my portion shall be—
Jesus, my Savior, is precious to me.

Refrain

Precious to me, precious is He;
Jesus shall ever be precious to me.

Joy is abounding—my heart gaily sings,
Cleave I the heavens—mount up on wings;
Christ hath exalted—my soul He set free—
Jesus, my Savior, is precious to me.

Refrain

Oh precious Jesus, how lovely Thou art!
Come and abiding, rule in my heart;
Break every fetter—Thy face let me see,
Then Thou shalt ever be precious to me.

Refrain
