GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD

NOTES
Today has been mostly cloudy with temperatures in the upper thirties. I had lunch with Charles and my pastor, J. T. Carnell. While we were there, Bill Derichsweiler came in and had a glass of tea with us. I also met a lady that I had worked with at the Army Base south of town about 30 years ago. I would not have known her but she knew me. Her name is Pam Kerns. I came by the post office. The rest of the day has been spent at home.
The cats are fine, going in and out or taking a nap, whatever they wish to do. Itty Bitty is here in the den with me.
At 7:25 p.m. skies are cloudy with a temperature of 36 degrees. I will see you next time.
In Christian Love, Everett.

GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD
5 Why am I discouraged?
Why is my heart so sad?
I will put my hope in God!
I will praise him again—
my Savior and 6 my God!
Why is my heart so sad?
I will put my hope in God!
I will praise him again—
my Savior and 6 my God!
- Psalm 42:5(New Living Translation).
GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD
26 The poor will eat and be satisfied.
All who seek the Lord will praise him.
Their hearts will rejoice with everlasting joy.
All who seek the Lord will praise him.
Their hearts will rejoice with everlasting joy.
- Psalm 22:26(New Living Translation).
A QUOTE
Never spend your money before you have it.

Deserve success and it will assuredly come.
- From Reminisce Magazine -
Swallow your pride occasionally, it's nonfattening.

NOTES
Today has been a cloudy mild day with temperatures in the low sixties. I had lunch with Charles. Bill Derichsweiler had lunch with us today. This afternoon I went to the post office, Walgreens and Walmart.
I feel like saying a little about myself and the Good Things since I have started them again. The Scripture verses speak to me as well as to you. I sometimes have to search my heart to see if I am living up to what I put out on the Good Things. If I don't search my heart then I might be guilty of not living up to the things I say I am doing. Then I would be a hypocrite. It might be well for me to pray this prayer sometimes: "Lord help me not to be a hypocrite. Help me to live up to the Scriptures as best I can with your help, but when I fail, help me to admit it and ask your forgiveness."
I just want you friends to know that I am trying my best to live as the Lord would have me live but I am human and I sometimes fail. Let me know if the Good Things are helping you. If they are not helping someone then I will stop sending them.
The cats are fine.
At 7:00 p.m. the skies are cloudy with a temperature of 59 degrees. I will see you next time.
In Christian Love, Everett.

GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD
6 So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace. 7 For the sinful nature is always hostile to God. It never did obey God’s laws, and it never will. 8 That’s why those who are still under the control of their sinful nature can never please God. - Romans 8:6-8(New Living Translation).
GOD'S PROMISE TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD
14 The Spirit is God’s guarantee that he will give us the inheritance he promised and that he has purchased us to be his own people. He did this so we would praise and glorify him. - Ephesians 1:14(New Living Translation).
A QUOTE
Our eternal adoption papers are signed and sealed with the precious blood of our Savior.
- Joyce Williams -
A THOUGHT TO REMEMBER
Do your best, and then be at rest.

NOTES
Well, one month ago today on January 19, 2010, the last Good Things were sent out. At that time I didn't realize that it would be one month before the Good Things were back. I think the Lord's planning was in this for some reason. I found the information last night in a box where I had put them the day before I moved, but the box was mis-labled and other items were at the top of the box. I had been by that box every day so I think it was the Lord's good timing that I wait until now to start them again. Things are going as well as can be expected with me. I am better satisfied in McAlester than I was in Moore and I sincerely believe that it was the Lord's Will that my house didn't sell so I could move back. My life will never be the same again since I lost my dear Flonnie. I will just take care of our cats until it is time for me to join her again. I pray that the Lord will keep me well enough to stay at home and take care of the cats.
Today I had lunch with my brother, Charles, at Taco Bob's Fiesta Grill as I do every day. We always see someone we know at Bob's and that is one big difference in being here rather than in Moore.
We had sunshine this morning and clouds this afternoon. High temperatures today were in the mid fifties. We may get some rain tonight.
The cats are fine. The ones that were here before and the two that had not been here have all adjusted to their new home.
At 7:10 p.m. skies are cloudy with a temperature of 50 degrees. I will see you next time and the notes will probably be shorter. If a verse from God's Word, a quote or a thought from the Good Things today has helped you in some way, I would be happy to hear about it.
Thanks to Nan Forehand for sending some Good Things from her archives the past few days. It is good to be back!
In sincere Christian Love, Everett.

Partisan Politics
As I see it, partisan politics on both sides of the aisle have gotten in the way of any meaningful progress. However, with Democrat controlled House, Senate, and White House, it appears more evident that the president and the congress believed they need not compromise with the Republicans. President Obama has shown himself to be the kind of president he was as senator, extremely Liberal! His Left agenda has not even gone down well with a lot of Democrats so partisanship has even existed within the ranks of the president's own party.
In a day when evil is called good and good evil in some prominent issues such as abortion and gay rights, bipartisanship is more difficult to come by. Also, when Nancy Pelosi says she is not partisan what chance is there for real meaningful dialogue between the parties? And when Harry Reid says there will not be a bipartisan bill what meaningful dialogue can take place? There are those in both parties who are willing to work out differences and come to consensus. But it is not coming from the White House or the Democrat leadership in Congress.
Perhaps Senator Bayh's decision not to run again will be a wake up call to the Democrat leadership. But don't count on it. It is going to be a long hot election season in this Congressional election year.
