glorycloud's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- profane beauty It is 1:53 PM Friday afternoon here in West Michigan. It is 45 degrees and sunny this afternoon. I am thankful for another day of sunshine. I do not enjoy cold snowy dark days. Give me days filled with sunshine and blue skies! I am recovering from volunteering at the Book Nook today. I find going out into the sad world draining. There is sadness everywhere these days. It seems lately there are mass murders every day and this is suppose to be the season to be jolly. The Book Nook was not super busy so I read and wandered the store till Carol showed up at 1 o'clock PM to do her volunteer shift. When I got home I ate lunch and wrote in my paper diary. At the Book Nook today I bought a used paperback titled, 'The Professor' a novel by Charlotte Bronte. I got up this morning around 7:15 AM and when I came upstairs Ollie greeted me. Caleb picked up Ollie this morning and took him home. I had a normal morning, wrote in my paper diary, Carol read Tripp and then the Bible. After reading the Bible we prayed and Carol left to fold church bulletins. I left to volunteer at the Book Nook around 9:40 AM. So has gone Time Span. Last night I finished reading, 'Queen Lucia' a novel by E.F. Benson and have been reading today, 'Antagony' 'Bk.1: Recounting' by Luis Goyisolo Translated by Brendan Riley. I have had no Time today to read my Christian books. I will close to feel wasted. It will soon be Time. O Jesus my hope, for me offered up, Thy blood, which alone for sin could atone, Come then from above, its hardness remove, Neither passion nor pride Thy cross can abide, Now, now let me know its virtue below, Each moment applied my weakness to hide, 2:10 p.m. - 2022-11-25 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
