GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD
 
(Jesus said) 21 “You have heard that our ancestors were told, ‘You must not murder. If you commit murder, you are subject to judgment.’ 22 But I say, if you are even angry with someone, you are subject to judgment! If you call someone an idiot, you are in danger of being brought before the court. And if you curse someone, you are in danger of the fires of hell."  - Matthew 5:21-22(New Living Translation).
 
 
 
GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD
 
10 In his kindness God called you to share in his eternal glory by means of Christ Jesus. So after you have suffered a little while, he will restore, support, and strengthen you, and he will place you on a firm foundation. 11 All power to him forever! Amen.  - 1 Peter 5:10-11(New Living Translation).

NOTES
 
The weather forecast for today came in just as predicted.  We had snow until early afternoon.  According to the weather department we had 4 inches of snow in McAlester.  I hear that Oklahoma City and Tulsa had much more, even as much as 12 inches in Tulsa.  The snow has left us with very cold weather.  High temperature today was 32 degrees.  The low temperature so far is the current temperature of 10 degrees and it is getting colder by the hour.  Needless to tell you I stayed inside all of today.  I went outside to look for my newspaper late this evening but apparently the carrier didn't make delivery today which is understandable.  I acted like a cat today and you that know cats know what I did most of the day.
 
The cats are fine.  They have been staying inside today.  They would go outside for a few minutes and then want back inside.  Leo likes to stay outside a lot and he did sleep on the back porch most of the day, but even Leo is inside tonight.  Little Girl is snuggled on the couch on a blanket.  The others are snuggling somewhere.  It is warm inside the house.  Smokey is not snuggling right now as he has been here in the den most of the evening.  The picture tonight is my beautiful Emmy.
 
At 9:20 p.m. skies are clear with a temperature of 10 degrees.  I will see you next time.
 
In Christian Love, Everett.
