contemplativeThis morning I was up at 6:15 AM. When I got up my wife was up watching World News. She worked from Midnight till 4:10 AM this morning. She now works the next three nights. I had to be at the hospital this morning to get my blood drawn and to give my health history before my gallbladder surgery next Tuesday July 21st. So Carol and I did that this morning.
When we got home from the hospital which is a few minutes from where are living out our energy flow I do not know what time it was. I fixed myself a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast. (At the hospital when the nurse weighed me I weighed 217 lbs. I am still eating less and less. To me it would be cool to be skinny, but that would be unwise at my advanced age.)
Carol went to bed as I was making oatmeal for the day. After breakfast I wrote in my paper diary and have been reading for devotions from a volume I was reading awhile back titled, "Luke" New Testament III [Reformation Commentary On Scripture] Edited By Beth Kreitzer. I also got out these books to read in the It-
"Luke 1:1-9:50" [Baker Exegetical Commentary On The New Testament] by Darrell L. Bock
"'Return to Me' A Biblical Theology of Repentance" [New Studies In Biblical Theology] by Mark J. Boda
Last night Carol and I went grocery shopping at a local grocery store. We were home from food gathering around 10:30 PM. I went to bed around 11:15 PM last night and Carol left for work at 11:30 PM. Our lives are speeding by! Next month I will be 63 years old. Carol's Dad died when he was 64 years old. If he had lived till now he would be 93 years old. I wonder if I will live to be 93 years old. Carol has a friend who is 90 years old named Pam. Now is the time to take care of myself if I want to be a real old man. Only the Lord knows when our time is up here on earth. Now is the day of salvation. I remember the words of the writer of the Epistle to the Hebrews-
"[1] Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
[2] For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
[3] For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
[4] For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
[5] And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.
[6] Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief" Hebrews 4:1-6
Well I suppose I will close to read my books and face It energy flow/everything is flowing. I should get out and read some of the sermons of Meister Eckhart.
