contemplativeI am extremely tired this afternoon due to the wear and tear of modern existence. It takes a lot of energy to be a fat middle class Christian in the last days of the American Empire. I am surrounded by fools. "You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand" James 5:8.
I got up this morning around 6:18 AM. Once again I debated with myself if I wanted to go downtown for breakfast. I decided to stay here and eat oatmeal instead of breaking up my morning routine. Plus why eat a meal among strangers. There is plenty of food here to fatten my belly with. So I made a pot of coffee and a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast. I ate my oatmeal messing with our main computer and after messing with our main computer I wrote in my paper diary. After I wrote in my paper diary I messed with my Christian books and wandered my cell.
I read from these books this morning when not going around and around in circles-
"The Path Of True Godliness" by Willem Teellinck Translated By Annemie Godbehere Edited By Joel R. Beeke [Classics of Reformed Spirituality]
"The True Christian's Love To The Unseen Christ" by Thomas Vincent (1634-1678) Foreword By John MacArthur
I am falling asleep so I will have to close for the present moment. I will write more when I feel more awake.
