NOTES
Today has been a sunny day in McAlester, Oklahoma with a high temperature of 57 degrees and a low temperature of 26 degrees. About two years ago a lady by the name of Alice who lives in Tulsa, Oklahoma, began receiving the Good Things. During the past two years I have had frequent comments from her about how she liked the Good Things. Today Alice and her husband, Bill, came to McAlester and had lunch with me at Taco Bob's. What a blessing that was for me. Bill said they would come back again soon. I also saw Charley, our friend Bill and my pastor at Bob's today. I know that I have made many friends through the Good Things and many of you I will never meet in this life but I look forward to seeing each of you in Heaven someday. What a blessing when someone I have never met gets to come have lunch with me. Since the last Good Things I had e-mails from Alice, Michelle, Margaret, Geneva, Annette and Burlene. It is always a pleasure to receive e-mails.
The cats are fine. Rascal is in the recliner and the others are around somewhere. Some are asleep and some are outside. I have seen all of them this evening.

Have a nice Saturday!
I will see you next time, In Christian Love, Everett.
