It is now 12:19 PM in the flow of my day off from work. We went out for doughnuts and coffee this morning-then we went to Sam's but before going to Sam's we stopped at the Goodwill store to look at used books-I bought these used books for my book collection "Wilderness" a novel by Robert Penn Warren, "Rabbit Is Rich" a novel by John Updike (I have this novel is paperback-the edition I bought today for a dollar is a hardback in perfect condition with a bookcover) and "Solitude: A Return To The Self" by Anthony Storr a hardback-I have looked at this book but would not buy it new I got this edition for a dollar-I am not into psychotherapy/psychiatry-but I am interested in the subject of solitude. We went to Sam's and then stopped at another Thrift Shop to look at old used books-picked up a paperback titled "From The Closed World To The Infinite Universe" by Alexandre Koyre to quote the back cover of this little book "During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries a radical change occurred in the patterns and framework of European thought. The root and fruit of this revolution are modern science and modern philosophy. Dr. Koyre interprets this revolution in terms of the change that occurred in man's conception of this universe and of his own place in it and demonstrates the primacy of this change in the development of the modern world."
We went next to another Thrift store but saw nothing-on the way home we stopped at the public library to see if anything was new in their used bookroom-we bought a stack of Lonely Planet books-Spain, U.S.A. Greece, Germany, Canada and Hawaii-Carol likes look at the Lonely Planet books-I wanted the one on Spain because someday when I am retired I want to visit Spain and Mt.Athos. We are now home and I am tired. It is a warm sunny day.
Do not know what I will do today to keep myself awake? I have been reading lately the book "The Christ Of The Prophets" by O. Palmer Robertson.
I should mention last night my brother Michael Williamson's foster parents call I mean Mom Agee called-she was returning a phone call-I called her two months ago to see if she had heard from my brother Mike-I needed to get a hold of him to tell him the good news that our younger brother Robert had found me and we had connected by e-mail and phone calls after not being in contact since he was a baby-he is now I think in his mid-40's (?)-so Mom Agee returned my phone call-she had not been able to call us due to a lot of stuff going on in her family-she gave me a cell phone number and an address (my brother Mike works for the Washington Post in Washington D.C.-he is a photojournalist). I plan to send to Robert and my sister Robin the information-maybe Mike will talk to them-I do not know if he wants to talk to me his older brother even though I love him.
I have not seen my brother Mike in years-I have not seen Robert since he was a baby-I have not seen my sister Robin since our mother was killed in a car wreck when I was 16 years old in Los Angeles Calif the year was 1968 when we all were left motherless-my mother was divorced when she was taken out of this life and taken into the next life either Hell or Heaven. When my mother was killed at 36 years old she worked as bar maid-we lived on welfare and tips. I have another sister named Danelle that I have not seen since was a baby. My mother had been married a couple of times (Michael and me were born out of wedlock-we were misbegotten)-our step-fathers took our sisters Robin and Danielle after our mother was killed. Mike and I went to live with an Aunt in San Pablo Calif which is in the San Francisco Bay Area (I was born in 1952 in Oakland Calif). Mike and I lived with my Aunt but I left due to all the violence and drunkenness. I lived with a foster family Maria and her son Kim-it did not work out due to my smart mouth-when I was in the 12th grade I lived with another foster family. I graduated from High School-the summer of 1970 the Lord saved me-the foster family did not want to hear me talking about the Lord Jesus all the time since they were agnostics-by that time in my spiritual journey I had joined an American Baptist Church and knew a single fellow named Jim who had an extra bedroom-he let me live with him. I was then attending a local Jr. College-I was a baby Christian. I was involved in the Jesus Movement-I was a Jesus Freak. I was involved in Street Evangelism in Berkeley Calif. I was into speaking tongues and waiting for The Rapture (I was an Arminian and a pre-mill. dispensationalist-charismatic-ONE WAY). I mentioned last month how I went to Mackinac Island Liberal Arts College on Mackinac Island Upper Mich. back when I was in my early 20's.
I have mentioned in the Past I did not go back to Mackinac Island Liberal Arts College after winter break-I was living in a huge Christian commune up in Northern Calif.-I left the commune and sometime I joined the Staff of the Richmond Rescue Mission-I was in love with Tykie a woman many years older than me-I was in my early 20's and she was in her 50's-I will not go into that love story because it has been written about before in my journal.
It was while working at the Richmond Rescue Mission I came to see that Arminianism was a false gospel "But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed" Gal. 1:8
I left the Mission after five years and in time I found myself a student at Reformed Bible College in Grand Rapids Mich. I met Carol soon afterwards and we were married-we have been married almost 26 years (now 43 years 10/23/2022) this coming May 2005. The Lord is good.
