GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD
12 Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity. - 1 Timothy 4:12(New International Version).

GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD
(Jesus said to His disciples) 18 “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. 19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. 20 Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. 21 They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the one who sent me." - John 15:18-21(New International Version).

THOUGHTS TO REMEMBER
At times, letting go can require more strength than holding on. - From Reminisce Magazine - The first sign of character is what one does; the second is what one gives. - From Reminisce Magazine - A challenging job won't get done if you let it get to you before you get to it. - From Reminisce Magazine -

A FACT ABOUT CATS
Cats tend to be cautious when they first meet each other, males being most likely to show agression. - From "Cats" by David Alderton -

NOTES
I had lunch with my brother, Charley. I came by the post office and then by Braum's for a couple of items. I took my nap with Smokey. When I was almost ready to get up from my nap, Rascal came to snuggle with me, so I took another little nap with him (laugh if you like). I put out fresh water and food for the outside animals around 7:00 p.m. The weather is getting hot again. I really do appreciate the notes that I get from people concerning the Good Things. Since yesterday's Good Things I have had notes from Geoff, Geneva, Tiyan and Michelle(Angelini). Pray for Michelle since she got laid off a job she was expecting to go back to in September. I can't stop the Good Things as long as I am getting notes from a few people telling me how much they mean to them. The picture tonight is a toad frog from June and Keith's yard in Hawaii. The cats are fine. Little Girl is on the filing cabinet. I have seen all of them this evening. Today started with cloudy skies but the skies cleared by noontime. High temperature today was 101 degrees. Low temperature this morning was 79 degrees. At 9:00 p.m. skies are clear with a temperature of 90 degrees. I will see you next time.
In Christian Love, Everett.
