contemplativeCarol and I got up this morning around 7 o'clock AM. We went out for breakfast and afterwards we went for a walk at a local city park called Kollen Park. We were home from our outing around 10 o'clock AM. I left soon after we got home to visit local thrift stores and to visit a grocery store to get a quart of 1% milk.
This morning I found these used books to ADD to our library-
"Random Family: Love, Drugs, Trouble, And Coming Of Age In The Bronx" nonfiction by Adrian Nicole LeBlanc
"Ragnarok: The End Of The Gods" fantasy by A. S. Byatt
"The Power and the Glory" a novel by Graham Greene
"Love & Death: The Murder of Kurt Cobain" nonfiction by Max Wallace & Ian Halperin
"Charles Dickens In Love" biography by Robert Garnett
I was home from my wanderings around Noontime. Carol was gone when I got home out doing stuff.
So has gone by the day thus far. Carol works the next three nights so she is sleeping right now. I have been basically wandering my cell trying to fall asleep.
All I have attempted to read today is from a book titled, "Scripture As Real Presence: Sacramental Exegesis in the Early Church" by Hans Boersma. Last night I read before going to bed from a book titled, "Dangerous Passions, Deadly Sins: Learning From The Psychology Of Ancient Monks" by Dennis Okholm.
I suppose I will close to get a fresh cup of coffee and fry a three turkey burgers for Carol to eat the next three nights at work. Existence keeps decaying faster and faster!
"[8] But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
[9] The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
[10] But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
[11] Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
[12] Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
[13] Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness." Second Peter 3:8-13
