Outside this morning it is partly cloudy and windy. There is a change it might rain today.
Carol and I got up early this morning because she had a class at the hospital this morning from 7 o'clock AM till sometime late this morning.
I am still very sick and not feeling any better. If I am not feeling better soon I am going to my doctor for medicine.
This morning I have done all the usual things I do during the morning hours. If I sit still I immediately fall asleep.
I have been reading this morning a Bible (New King James version) and a New Testament commentary titled, "The Second Letter To The Corinthians" [The Pillar New Testament Commentary] by Mark A. Seifrid. I have been reading Seifrid's comments on 2 Corinth. Chapter 12, verses 1 through 10 (the other day I wrote some reflections on 2 Corinth. 12:1-10 in my online diaries).
Dr. Mark A. Seifrid

Last night I watched a little television and wandered my cell till 10:25 PM and went to bed. Yesterday I mainly read from these two books-

Well, I suppose I will close to feel sick. Existence keeps crawling by.
"[13] But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
[14] For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
[15] For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
[16] For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
[17] Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
[18] Wherefore comfort one another with these words." 1 Thess. 4:13-18
