glorycloud's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the kingdom of grace It is 2:11 PM Friday afternoon here in Western Michigan. It is snowing and very cold outside today. I am as usual worn out. I got up this morning around 7:45 AM. When I came upstairs I found my wife getting ready to leave to meet a friend for breakfast and then to do errands. I left to volunteer at the Book Nook (our local library used bookstore) around 9:35 AM. The store was busy but I did have time to read from a book titled, 'The Gloss & The Text: William Perkins on Interpreting Scripture with Scripture' by Andrew S. Ballitch. Carol showed up around 1:10 PM to do her volunteer shift. I left came home and when I home I ate lunch and then filmed a video Friday Reads for my Youtube channel.
