glorycloud's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- to gaze upon God It is 4:18 PM Tuesday afternoon here in south western Michigan. It is 75 degrees and sunny this afternoon. It feels like the end of Summer these days. I got up this morning around 7:15 AM. When I came upstairs Carol was cooking and listening to a lecture by the late R.C. Sproul on her cell phone. This morning Carol was making food to take to a Board meeting (which is a small group of retired nurses that get together once a month to eat food and talk) being held a local Camp Ground (one of the retired nurses in the Board Meeting group is camping with her husband at the Holland State Park Campground located on very near Lake Michigan). Carol and I had devotions before she left at 9:40 AM for the Board Meeting. While Carol was gone I wrote in my paper diary, read, and filmed a video for my Youtube channel. When Carol got home from the Board Meeting it was around 2:15 PM. I was sitting in our dining room drinking coffee when Carol got home. I mainly have read, 'How To Read & Understand The Psalms' by Bruce K. Waltke & FredG. Zaspel. I did leave the house around 2:30 PM to visit local thrift stores to look at their used books-I bought these used books this afternoon- 'Two or Three Things I Know for Sure' a memoir by Dorothy Allison 'Brother to a Dragonfly' a memoir by Will D. Campbell 'A Penny a Copy: Readings from The Catholic Worker' Edited by Thomas C. Cornell & James H. Forest 'Johnson's Life Of London: The People Who Made the City That Made the World' history London England by Boris Johnson 'Cold' A Novel by John Smolens 'Abolitionism: A New Perspective' by Gerald Sorin 'The Art Institute of Chicago: The Essential Guide' Revised Edition Selected by James N. Wood This afternoon Amazon delivered a book I had pre-ordered titled, 'To Gaze Upon God: The Beatific Vision in Doctrine, Tradition, and Practice' by Samuel G. Parkison. I read before going to bed last night some more of the novel, 'A Glastonbury Romance' by John Cowper Powys. I also read last night some more of the novel, 'Chevengue' by Andrey Platonov Translated By Robert Chandler & Eizabeth Chandler. I will close to drift. 4:42 p.m. - 2024-09-03 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
