GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD
9 Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments. - Deuteronomy 7:9(New International Version).

GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD
25 “To whom will you compare me? Or who is my equal?” says the Holy One. 26 Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one and calls forth each of them by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing. - Isaiah 40:25-26(New International Version).

NOTES
I had lunch with Charley and Bill. I went to the post office. I took a nap in early afternoon. When I got up from my nap I did two loads of laundry, dark and light. I then worked in my bedroom office trying to get caught up on filing of bills that I have been neglecting. I watched a Billy Graham Crusade at 6:00 p.m. This one was from Washington, D. C. in 1986. At 7:05 p.m I put out fresh water and food for the cats that eat outside and also gave them their daily treats which they expect every evening. I sat with them for a few minutes. The picture tonight is Smokey, Beau and Everett. I had an e-mail from my church friend, Debra Schock, this evening. I will include a paragraph from her e-mail at the end of the Good Things. The cats are fine. Little Girl on the tv tray tonight. The rest are elsewhere at present. Today has been a sunny day with a high temperature of 104 degrees. Low temperature this morning was 84 degrees. As I have stated before this year is going to be one the hottest summers on record for Oklahoma. At 9:55 p.m. skies are clear with a temperature of 93 degrees.
I will see you next time. Thanks for your e-mails!!
In Christian Love, Everett.

Here's the paragraph from Debra's letter:
I had to tell you what happened to me, when on my lunch break from work today: - I had a few errands to run on lunch break and one of my stops was at the News Capital, to pick up the picture of Jacob that I used for his Bday write up in Sundays paper and then I renewed our subscription - but anyway, when I gave the lady my check, she looked at me and said, "are you the Debra Schock that Everett Christian mentions in His Good Things?" and I looked at her and said, " that would be Me" - she smiled and said she looks forward to the Good Things and thanked me for sharing as well. We visited and she said that she went to school with June and was happy for them to be able to be in Hawaii! Small world, isn't it? Made me smile! You touch many lives, Everett!!! Appreciate You!
