GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD

(The Lord said to Job) 4 "Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation? Tell me, if you understand. 5 Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know! Who stretched a measuring line across it? 6 On what were its footings set, or who laid its cornerstone - 7 while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy?" - Job 38:4-7(New International Version).

GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD

29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. - Ephesians 4:29(New International Version).

A NEWS STORY ABOUT CATS

Tampa, Fla. (AP) - Bart the cat was hit by a car, buried and seemingly crawled back from the dead. Earlier this month, a car hit the cat in Tampa. Bart's owner was so distraught, he couldn't stand the thought of burying him, so he asked a neighbor to dig a shallow grave. Five days later, on Jan. 21, a matted and injured Bart emerged, meowing for food. "At first it blew me away," said Dusty Albritton, the neighbor who buried Bart. "All I knew is that this cat was dead and 'Pet Sematary' is real." Bart had a broken jaw, a ruptured eye and a torn-up face. He was dehydrated and hungry but alive. Owner Ellis Hutson didn't know what to say. "It was unbelievable," he said. (From The Mcalester News-Capital)

NOTES

Today has been mostly cloudy with a high temperature of 57 degrees. I had lunch by myself. Charley had to make a trip to Muskogee, Oklahoma, 60 miles north of McAlester. Tiersten was my waitress today. I went to the post office, then to the Family Dollar store and then home. I took a nap with Emmy with others joining us part of the time. I fed the cats their treats at around 5:30 p.m. Thanks for writing to me and thanks for reading the Good Things.

The cats are fine. Rascal is with me in the den in his usual place. The others are elsewhere. I have seen all of them this evening.

Have a nice Saturday,

Evere
