GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH 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).
 
 
 
GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD
 
12 But the godly will flourish like palm trees
      and grow strong like the cedars of Lebanon.
 13 For they are transplanted to the Lord’s own house.
      They flourish in the courts of our God.
 14 Even in old age they will still produce fruit;
      they will remain vital and green.
- Psalm 92:12-14(New Living Translation).
 
 
 
A QUOTE
 
Let all strangers that come be received like Christ, for He will say, I was a stranger and you took me in.
- The Rules of St. Benedict -
 
 
 
THOUGHTS TO REMEMBER
 
Let your mind wander, but be careful when you follow it.
- From Reminisce Magazine -
 
A person who always says what he or she thinks is courageous...and friendless.
- From Reminisce Magazine -
 
 
 
NOTES
 
We had some light rain this morning in Moore, Oklahoma.  The skies cleared this afternoon.  High temperatures were around 60 degrees.  I walked through the back yard a time or two today.  About 1:00 p.m. I went to Walmart, came back by Arby's and brought lunch home to eat.  I talk to my daughter, June, every night in Hawaii.  There are tree frogs all around where they are living.  When she is out on an enclosed porch I can hear the frogs very clearly over the phone.  June says she likes the sound of the frogs.
 
The cats are fine.  Most of them are inside at present resting as usual.  Beau and Smokey are resting here in the study with me.  I love animals, especially pets.  It really hurts me and sometimes brings me to tears to see an animal mistreated or neglected.  I feel that anyone who mistreats an animal should be prosecuted. 
 
At 9:00 p.m. skies are partly cloudy with a temperature of 50 degrees.  Have a Wonderful Sunday if you celebrate Sunday as the Sabbath as I do!  I will see you next time.
 
In sincere Christian Love, Everett.

GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD
 
4 For the Lord delights in his people;
      he crowns the humble with victory.
- Psalm 149:4(New Living Translation).
 
 
 
GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD
 
22 Then, turning to his disciples, Jesus said, “That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food to eat or enough clothes to wear. 23 For life is more than food, and your body more than clothing. 24 Look at the ravens. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for God feeds them. And you are far more valuable to him than any birds! 25 Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? 26 And if worry can’t accomplish a little thing like that, what’s the use of worrying over bigger things?"  - Luke 12:22-26(New Living Translation).
 
 
 
A QUOTE
 
Jesus will judge us not only for what we did, but also for what we could have done and didn't.
- George Otis -
 
 
 
THOUGHTS TO REMEMBER
 
There is no substitute for excellence - not even success.
- From Reminisce Magazine -
 
When you find yourself in doubt, it will be best to do the friendliest thing.
- From Reminisce Magazine -
 
 
 
NOTES
 
Today has been mostly cloudy in Moore, Oklahoma, with high temperatures in the mid fifties.  I walked around in the back yard and sat out with the cats for a while this morning.  I had lunch at home.  This afternoon I did the laundry.  I went to Crest Food Market for a few items.  I usually go to Crest to shop about twice a week.  I came home and ran the clean laundry through the dryer. 
 
I met another of my neighbors this afternoon.  His name is Lowell Weger.  His wife's name is Carol.  Their yard joins my yard on the southwest side for about 25 feet or so.  They have six cats and two dogs.  He is a very nice neighbor. 
 
I have written before about Sam and Amy, my other neighbors joining my yard on the west side. They have two cats, so you see most of my neighbors can get along with my cats. 
 
The cats are fine, going in and out as usual.  I haven't seen any of them out of the yard today, not even Friendly.
 
At 7:15 p.m. skies are cloudy with a temperature of 50 degrees.  I will see you next time.
 
In sincere Christian Love, Everett.

GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD
 
16 I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. 17 Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. 18 And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. 19 May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.  - Ephesians 3:16-19(New Living Translation).
 
 
 
GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD
 
 14 Through Christ Jesus, God has blessed the Gentiles with the same blessing he promised to Abraham, so that we who are believers might receive the promised Holy Spirit through faith.  - Galatians 3:14(New Living Translation).
 
 
 
A QUOTE
 
When ye are able to do good, defer it not.

THOUGHTS TO REMEMBER
 
A smile has immense face value.

NOTES
 
Today has been a sunny day in Moore, Oklahoma, with high temperatures in the high sixties.  I stayed at home all day.  I had lunch at home out on the deck.  I mainly did paper work in my study when I wasn't resting.  I went to the back yard several times always accompanied by cats.
 
The cats are fine.
 
At 7:05 p.m. skies are mostly clear with a temperature of 58 degrees.  I will see you next time.
 
In sincere Christian Love, Everett.

GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD
 
(The Apostle Paul wrote) 6 "And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns."  - Philippians 1:6(New Living Translation).
 
 
 
GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD
 
(The Apostle Paul wrote) 9But he (the Lord) said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.  - 2 Corinthinas 12:9(New International Version).
 
 
 
A QUOTE
 
Outlook determines outcome; attitude determines action.

THOUGHTS TO REMEMBER
 
There's no limit to the amount of good you can do, if you don't care who gets the credit.
- From Reminisce Magazine -
 
Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn't.
- From Reminisce Magazine -
 
 
 
NOTES
 
We had our first freeze for the season this morning.  The temperature fell to 29 degrees.  My Morning Glory vines are drooping.  We have had sunny skies all day with high temperatures in the low sixties.  I sat out for a while this morning with cats all around me.  I had lunch at home.  In early afternoon I went to Lowe's Home Improvement Store and then to a Dollar General Store.  At around 3:00 p.m. my brother and wife, Abe and Laferne, and Abe's daughter, Lyndell Holloway, came by my home and visited for an hour or so.  It was really nice to have them visit.
 
The cats are fine.  Itty Bitty has been here in the study with me as I do the Good Things.  She sometimes gets in my lap for a little attention.  We have raised her from a kitten.  She is about three year old now.
 
At 7:45 p.m. skies are clear with a temperature of 44 degrees.  I will see you next time.
 
In sincere Christian Love, Everett.
