the ancient prophetic tradition

It is 2:37 PM Monday afternoon here in West Michigan. It has been rainy all day. It is also cold and windy. I have to keep reminding myself it is Spring and not Winter.

I got up this morning around 7:30 AM. When I came upstairs Carol was dressed and ready for the day. This morning a fellow came to our house to measure for new flooring, he showed up as we were praying.

I left to volunteer at the Book Nook around 9:35 AM this morning. The Book Nook was not busy at all so I wandered the store and read from a novel titled, 'The Fortress Of Solitude' by Jonathan Lethem.

When I got home from the Book Nook Carol was home writing on our main computer. I ate lunch and wrote in my paper diary. Now I am writing in my online diaries. In the mail this afternoon I received a used book I had ordered titled, 'The Interior Sense of Scripture: The Sacred Hermeneutics of John W. Nevin' by William DiPuccio [Studies in American Biblical Hermeneutics].

Last night I do not recall off the top of my head what I read before going to bed. I am tired. I will close to wait for peace on earth.

"[1] And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:
[2] And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;
[3] And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:
[4] But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.
[5] And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.
[6] The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.
[7] And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
[8] And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den.
[9] They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
[10] And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious." Isaiah 11:1-10
