GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD

2 The tongue of the wise uses knowledge rightly, But the mouth of fools pours forth foolishness. - Proverbs 15:2(New King James Version).

GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD
22 Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off. - Romans 11:22(New International Version).

A QUOTE
A true faith in Jesus Christ will not suffer us to be idle. No, it is an active, lively, restless principle; it fills the heart so it cannot be easy till it is doing something for Jesus Christ. - George Whitefield -

A THOUGHT TO REMEMBER
Life is a continuous process of getting used to things we hadn't expected. - From Reminisce Magazine -

NOTES
We had several thunderstorms beginning shortly after midnight last night. The rain had stopped by the time I got up this morning but the cloudy skies remained throughout the day. High temperature today was 66 degrees with a low temperature of 53 degrees. I had lunch with Charley. I took a nap in early afternoon with Smokey. At around 3:15 p.m. I went to the Petsense store and Walmart to buy my weekly supply of cat food and other items. I sat outside with the cats this evening from 5:30 to 6:00 p.m. It was a little cool outside this evening. I heard some of the old hymns and Gospel songs tonight on television from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. I thought that I would leave the words to one of them at the end of the Good Things titled "Room At The Cross For You."

Sometimes I wonder if I should send out two editions of the Good Things, one with notes and one without notes. I am not sure that everyone likes to hear about my activities every day. If anyone would like the Good Things without the notes let me know and I will send them to you without the notes. If anyone would like to be dropped from the Good Things, let me know.
The cats are fine. Rascal is lying on the desk by my computer. Anytime he is not sleeping he usually checks on me pretty often. When I am watching television he usually comes in and lies in my lap for a few minutes and then he will get in the floor and lie on his back. Little Girl is outside at present but she will be back in soon. She doesn't stay out long at a time. All of the cats have been seen this evening.
I will see you next time,
With Christian Love, Everett.

Here is the song, sing it if you know the melody.
ROOM AT THE CROSS FOR YOU
(Ira F. Stanphill) (1946)
Recorded by:
The Cathedrals; Randy Travis.

The cross upon which Jesus died, Is a shelter in which we can hide; And its grace so free is sufficient for me, And deep is its fountain as wide as the sea

There's room at the cross for you, There's room at the cross for you, Tho millions have come, There's still room for one Yes, there's room at the cross for you.

Tho millions have found Him a friend, And have turned from the sins they have sinned, The Savior still waits to open the gates And welcomes a sinner before it's too late.

There's room at the cross for you, There's room at the cross for you, Tho millions have come, There's still room for one Yes, there's room at the cross for you.

The hand of my Savior is strong, And the love of my Savior is long; Through sunshine or rain, through loss or in gain, The blood flows from Calvary to cleanse every stain.

There's room at the cross for you, There's room at the cross for you, Tho millions have come, There's still room for one Yes, there's room at the cross for you.
