glorycloud's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- loss of identity It is 2:05 PM Tuesday afternoon here in Michigan, We are under a freeze warning today. I snowed all morning and now it is turning icy cold. By evening there will be a covering of ice on everything. I got up this morning around 7:33 AM to find the world as I left it last night. Everything visible is in a flux of change. Nothing remains the same except God. God is unchangeable therefore His love is unchangeable. When I came upstairs I found my wife in her living room chair reading. I had a normal morning. I wrote in my paper diary, read my books, and had devotions with my wife. I got a call from the Book Nook this afternoon telling me the used books I had set aside had been priced and I could come down and pay for them. I bought these used books from the Book Nook today- 'The Library: An Illustrated History' By Stuart A. P. Murray Introduction by Donald G. Davis Jr. Foreword by Nicholas A.
