Good Things

GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD
1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. - Hebrews 12:1-3(New International Version).

GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD
1 About that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?” 2 Jesus called a little child to him and put the child among them. 3 Then he said, "I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven. 4 So anyone who becomes as humble as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven." - Matthew 18:1-4(New Living Translation).

NOTES
Today has been mostly cloudy with a high temperature of 71 degrees. We had a rain shower around 6:00 p.m. and the weather is getting cooler with a temperature at present of 47 degrees. I had lunch by myself today as Charley had a luncheon at his church. I went to the post office and then came by Braums for an item. I took my nap in early afternoon. Emmy was with me as I took my nap today. I put out food and treats for the cats at 5:30 p.m. but I didn't sit out as a few sprinkles of rain was beginning to fall. I am still trying to learn Windows 7. I was doing much better on Windows Vista.

The cats are fine. Little Girl is on a blanket on the couch. Emmy, Leo, Smokey and Rascal have all come through the den within the last hour. They are all accounted for tonight.
I will see you next time,
In Christian Love, Everett.
