glorycloud's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- where your treasure is, there will be your heart also It is 2:04 PM Monday afternoon here in Western Michigan. It is 39 degrees and cloudy. The sky is icy gray this afternoon. I am glad though it is not snowing or raining. I do not know when we will have our first real snow storm. They have predicted a light Winter this year. I got up this morning around 7 o'clock AM. I had been awake since 3:45 AM, but finally made a decision to get up around 7 o'clock AM. Carol told me she had gotten up at 4:15 AM this morning. It is hard to sleep when you are old. I do not believe in the doctrine of soul sleep by the way. Once we are dead we either go to Heaven or Hell. I spent the morning doing the usual, writing in my paper diary and reading. Carol and I did have devotions this morning. I spent the morning up to Noontime reading from a book titled, 'New Testament Theology' by Eckhard J. Schnabel. This afternoon I have been once again reading what I was reading before I went to bed last night, 'Hollywood: A Third Memoir' by Larry McMurtry. These days I have found it hard to get back into what I was reading last month. I am a mood reader and I have not been in the mood to read these books lately-'Lies And Sorcery' A Novel by Elsa Morante Translated By Jenny McPhee and 'The Paper: The Life and Death of the New York Herald Tribune' by Richard Kluger. I am almost finished reading from these two books-'Sonic Life: A Memoir' by Thurston Moore and 'The Letters Of Gustave Flaubert' Edited And Translated By Francis Steegmuller. I have not started reading a novel I bought last month from Amazon titled, 'The House On Via Gemito' a novel by Domenico Starnone Translated by Oonagh Stransky. I have coming tomorrow from Amazon a novel I pre-ordered last year. So this day goes by normal, which is a blessing. I am thankful for our normal life. I will close to drift. I will soon be over. "[9] After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 2:23 p.m. - 2023-12-04 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
