GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD
21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight. - Isaiah 5:21(New International Version)

GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD
18 Then Jesus came to them (the eleven disciples) and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” - Matthew 28:18-20(New International Version).

NOTES
Today has been a cloudy day with a rain shower around noontime. High today temperature today was 57 degrees with a low of 44 degrees. At 6:15 a.m. today I went to Charley's house and took him to the hospital to have a small cancer removed from his bladder. The operation started about 8:00 a.m. and was over around 8:30 a.m. I took Charley home about 9:45 a.m. I picked him up at 11:20 a.m and we had lunch at Taco Bob's. He was back home around 12:00 noon. He is doing pretty good and will probably be able to drive himself to Bob's tomorrow. The doctor said they removed all of the cancer. A few days ago when Bobbi Taylor, a waitress at Taco Bob's, heard that Charley was having surgery today, she said she was going to prepare a meal today when she got off work and bring it to Charley and me. Well, sure enough, at about 6:00 p.m., Charley called me and said that Bobbi had brought two meals to his house so I told him I would be right over. Bobbi had already left when I got there and I brought my meal home. It was roast beef, mashed potatos with gravy and corn on the cob. I ate half of mine and have enough left to heat up for my meal tomorrow night. Bobbi is a nice person. I took my nap this afternoon with Emmy. Since last time I have had e-mails from Mary Ellen, Geneva and Alice. If you remember, some time ago, Mary Ellen, who lives in Colorado, asked us to pray for her husband, Kip, who has cancer. Kip is in the hospital and Mary Ellen has a prayer request so I will include her letter at the end of the Good Things.
The cats are fine. Little Girl is lying by the patio door looking outside. Rascal was in the recliner a little while ago but has now gone elsewhere. The other cats are all accounted for.
Have a nice Friday! I will see you next time.
In Christian Love, Everett. ******************************************************************************************************** Here is Mary Ellen's letter:
Feel better Everett! Hope the shot does the job for another six months! Please lift Kip up as he is back in the hospital. His mind is very confused and he talks nonsense all day long. His kidneys are doing better, and he will start radiation on the tumor on his back tomorrow. Please pray that I can take good care of him when he comes home. That the Lord will provide everything that I need to do that with.
Thank you, mary ellen
