intellectual regeneration

It is 1:43 PM Sunday afternoon here in Western Michigan. It is 80 degrees and sunny today. I am sure people are outside getting skin cancer. I personally have never gotten a suntan. I am a white male who does not like exposing my body to sun rays. I only want to experience the Rays of the Glory of Christ shining down on my soul/mind.

I got up this morning around 7:35 AM. When I came upstairs I found Carol gone, she was out walking Ollie.

Carol left for church around 9:35 AM. I spent the morning into the afternoon hours writing in my paper diary and reading from a book titled, 'A Theology Of The Christian Life: Imitating and Participating in God' by Christopher R. J. Holmes.

Carol arrived home from being out in the world around 12:11 PM. Caleb came by soon afterwards and picked up their dog Ollie.

Carol left a few minutes ago to visit people up in Grand Haven Michigan. I watered my Wild Flower Garden and cleaned the kitchen this afternoon. I suppose I will close to read and have another cup of coffee.

Last night I read till 11 o'clock PM, 'Divine Days' A Novel by Leon Forrest. I will close to drift. Carol reminded me due to it being a national holy day tomorrow the Book Nook will be closed/the Library. So I am a free man tomorrow. I will jump for joy at the Second Coming, but not till then.

"[1] And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
[2] And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
[3] And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
[4] And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
[5] For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
[6] And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
[7] For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
[8] All these are the beginning of sorrows.
[9] Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
[10] And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
[11] And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
[12] And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
[13] But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved." Matthew 24:1-13
