GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD
 
20 Abraham never wavered in believing God’s promise. In fact, his faith grew stronger, and in this he brought glory to God. 21 He was fully convinced that God is able to do whatever he promises.  - Romans 4:20-21(New Living Translation).
 
 
 
GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD
 
 7 Don’t be misled—you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant. 8 Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit.  - Galatians 6:7-8(New Living Translation).
 
 
 
A QUOTE
 
I believe that keeping my word is of utmost importance.  I have made promises many years ago that are written in my will - when I die, my promises will still be kept.  - Paul J. Meyer -

NOTES
 
Today has been partly cloudy with high temperatures around 90 degrees.  I had lunch with Bill and Charley.  I went to the post office, came home and took my afternoon nap.  Later I went back to the post office to mail a letter.  I sat outside with the cats this evening and read a little.  Some of the cats always stay with me until I come after it gets dark and the street lights come on.  The picture tonight is Little Girl.
 
When I came home from the Army, Flonnie was a senior at Gerty, Oklahoma, high school.  Her parents had moved out of the Gerty school district to the Calvin, Oklahoma, school district.  Flonnie wanted to finish the year and graduate at Gerty so she was boarding with a lady at Gerty.  After two or three dates I wanted to be with Flonnie whenever I could so I might just drive down to Gerty any night of the week when I had the car.  My brother, Charley and I would take turns using the 1938 Ford coupe.  Gerty was about 20 miles from where I lived at Stuart, Oklahoma.  Sometimes Flonnie would know I would be there on a certain night and sometimes she wouldn't know.  We didn't have telephones.  When I would come see Flonnie unexpectally she would always get ready real quick and we would usually go to a movie at Holdenville, Oklahoma.  Sometimes my cousin, Audie, would come with me and I would usually let her drive after we picked up Flonnie.  After I had a few dates with Flonnie, the love bug had really bitten me so I figured it was time to pop the question.  Flonnie and I were in a darkened movie theater one night.  It was the Grand Theater in Holdenville.  I had my arm around Flonnie and I whispered to her, "Do you still love me?"  She came back with "Whoever said that I did?"  That was Flonnie, she always had a funny come back to a question.  Then she admitted that she did love me and from then on we started planning to get married.  Am I still boring you? 
 
The cats are fine.  Rascal was just in to check on me.
 
At 10:45 p.m. skies are fair with a temperature of 76 degrees.  I will see you tomorrow if the Lord is willing.
 
In Christian Love, Everett.
