GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD

NOTES
Today was sunny most of the day but became cloudy late in the evening. High temperature today was 85 degrees with a low of 63 degrees. I saw Charley and Bill at noon. While I was out, I went to the post office, to Petsense Store and Walgreen's to pick up a couple of prescriptions. When I got in my driveway I stopped my van and took my foot off the gas pedal before I put it in park. The van started easing forward and by the time I got my foot on the brake I had run into my patio doors. It did not break the glass but it bent some of the metal frame and I can't open the patio doors now. I had Dennis Cathey from "Cathey & Associates" come out to look at the door and it will have to be replaced. He will have to order the doors so I cant keep the front door ajar for the cats until I get it fixed. I have known Dennis for years. He attended high school with my son Ron. I am keeping the front door to the living room slightly ajar so the the cats can come and go to the front yard through that door. I didn't get down for my nap until 3:00 p.m. and Tony came in for the first time today and napped with me. I went outside with the cats at 6:00 p.m. and by then it was cloudy so I stayed out with them for about an hour. Since last night's Good Things I have heard from Burlene, Dianne and a former pastor, Tom Gilham. If anyone would like to be dropped from Good Things, let me know. In the meantime, thanks for reading the Good Things. My kids and grand-kids like the notes so they know whats going on with dad and grandpa.
The cat are fine. I have seen all of them this afternoon and tonight. I received the nicest sympathy card today from Dr. Sewell and her crew at the vet hospital. On the front of the card it shows a dog and a cat with this notation: "Angels who journey from our world, never leave our hearts." Dr. Sewell wrote a nice letter and it was signed by she and all her crew.
I will see you next time, In Christian Love, Everett.
