glorycloud's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- His cross is my glory It is 1:48 PM Friday afternoon here in West Michigan. It is a cold gray rainy day. It has been predicted to get warmer next week. I got up this morning around 7:30 AM. When I got up Carol was dressed and ready to go. She left this morning to shop for groceries. While she was gone I wrote in my paper diary and read. Carol got home around 9:10 AM and I helped her bring in the groceries. I left to go to the Book Nook around 9:30 AM. Today the Book Nook was slow so I sat and read some more of the novel, 'The Fortress Of Solitude' by Jonathan Lethem till Carol showed up around 1 o'clock PM to do her volunteer shift. I came home from the Book Nook and ate lunch and wrote in my paper dairy. In the mail today I received a book I had ordered titled, 'Radical By Nature: The Revolutionary Life of Alfred Russel Wallace' biography by James T. Costa. Last night I read late into the night from these books- 'The Meditations with a Monastic Commentary' William of Saint-Thierry Translation and Commentary by Thomas X. Davis 'A Theology Of The Christian Life' by Christopher R. J. Holmes 'The Atmosphere of Heaven: The Unnatural Experiments Of Dr. Beddoes And His Sons Of Genius' biography by Mike Jay This morning while Carol was gone I read from a book titled, 'Justification by Faith Alone-Selected Writings of Theodore Beza (1519-1605), Amandus Polanus (1561-1610), and Francis Turretin (1623-1637)' Translated by Casey Carmichael Introduced by Zachary Purris. I try to read along with Roman Catholic theology Reformed Theology. I am a Calvinist and not a Roman Catholic. I might read some more of my new Reformation Commentary titled, 'Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs' Old Testament IX [Reformation Commentary On Scripture] Edited By David C. Fink. I read some this commentary on Proverbs last night. I am falling asleep so I will close to feel wasted. Tomorrow is a Saturday. This morning my wife and I opened up Anniversary cards, we have been married 44 years. Where have the years gone? Beneath the cross of Jesus O safe and happy shelter! There lies beneath its shadow Upon that cross of Jesus I take, O cross, thy shadow 2:11 p.m. - 2023-05-19 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
