GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD
 
 8 But you must not forget this one thing, dear friends: A day is like a thousand years to the Lord, and a thousand years is like a day. 9 The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent.  - 2 Peter 3:8-9(New Living Translation).
 
 
 
GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD
 
12 If you think you are standing strong, be careful not to fall. 13 The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.  - 1 Corinthians 10:12-13(New Living Translation).

NOTES
 
Today has been cloudy and it snowed most of the day.  We had about 3 inches of snow today.  High temperature today was 25 degrees.  Low temperature last night was 18 degrees.  The snow has now stopped.  I had lunch with Charley.  I went to the post office.  I thought that I had better do all of my shopping today, not knowing what tomorrow will bring, so while I was out I went to Country Mart, a Dollar General Store and Walmart.  By being very careful the streets can be traveled. 
 
The cats are fine, mainly staying in the house and going outside just for short periods of time.  The picture tonight is the stray cat that we had spayed and named her Lucy several years ago.  I moved to Moore, Oklahoma last year for 10 months and when I returned Lucy soon showed up again.  As you can see, Lucy is making herself at home by sleeping in our back yard.
 
At 10:00 p.m. skies are cloudy with a temperature of 19 degrees.  I will see you next time.
 
In Christian Love, Everett.
