glorycloud's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- a fine bogy tale It is 2:40 PM Monday afternoon here in Western Michigan. It is a cold dark gray day. It is predicted to rain this afternoon. Right now parts of the United States are experiencing flooding. The Mississippi River is right now over it's flood level and houses/land/towns are under water. In the future the East Coast of the USA will be under water. Also parts of Canada are on fire/forest fires. The earth is groaning from the weight of Adamic sin. I am tired so I better get to the main point. I got up this morning around 7:14 AM-but I had been awake since 4 o'clock AM. I never really fell into a deep sleep state. When I came upstairs Carol was dressed and ready to hit the road full speed. Carol left this morning around 8 o'clock AM to go grocery shopping. She wanted to get this chore done before the Neighborhood Woman's Book Club get-together at 10 o'clock AM down the street. This morning I wrote in my paper diary, read 'Pierced By Love-Divine Reading With The Christian Tradition' by Hans Boersma, and left for the Book Nook around 9:45 AM. I was able though to help Carol carry in the food supplies before driving off.
