GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD
2 The rich and poor have this in common:
The Lord made them both.
The Lord made them both.
- Proverbs 22:2(New Living Translation).
GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD
(The Apostle Paul said) 26 "From one man he (God) created all the nations throughout the whole earth. He decided beforehand when they should rise and fall, and he determined their boundaries. 27 His purpose was for the nations to seek after God and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him—though he is not far from any one of us." - Acts 17:26-27(New Living Translation).
A QUOTE
God turns the ordinary into the extraordinary.

THOUGHTS TO REMEMBER
You may not be a star, but you need not be a cloud, either.
- From Reminisce Magazine -
Children can usually repeat, word for word, those things you shouldn't have said.

NOTES
Today has been mostly sunny in McAlester, Oklahoma, with high temperatures in the high sixties. My brother is still on a senior retreat. My brother's name is Charles but everyone calls him Charley. He signs his name as Charles. I had lunch by myself. I did see several friends at Taco Bob's. I went by the post office and then to the cemetery. The weather was mild this evening so I sat in the back yard and read for a while. Cats were keeping me company, a couple of them climbed a tree and one of them got on top of the house. Lucy, (the used to be stray), was with the other cats. She has become friends to most of our cats.
The cats are fine. Little Girl is looking out the front patio doors and Rascal is asleep on the couch here in the den.
At 9:25 p.m. skies are fair with a temperature of 51 degrees. I will see you next time.
In Christian Love, Everett.

A QUOTE
Never doubt that a small group of committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. - Margaret Mead -

NOTES
I had lunch with my pastor today, J. T. Carnell. My brother, Charles, is on a senior retreat with his church and will not have lunch with me until Thursday. This afternoon I went to the post office, Walmart and Country Mart. Today has been a cloudy day with high temperatures in the upper fifties. We have had a lot of rain this afternoon. I always appreciate the e-mails I receive in response to the Good Things.
The cats are fine, staying inside tonight due to the rain. I walk around or sit in the yard every day. Some of the cats always follow me around when I am walking or sit with me when I am sitting. Happy is now asleep on the couch here in the den. Little Girl has been helping me with the Good Things.
At 9:15 p.m. skies are cloudy with a temperature of 53 degrees. I will see you next time.
In Christian Love, Everett.

GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD
(The Lord says) 10 "Feed the hungry,
and help those in trouble.
Then your light will shine out from the darkness,
and the darkness around you will be as bright as noon.
11 The Lord will guide you continually,
giving you water when you are dry
and restoring your strength.
You will be like a well-watered garden,
like an ever-flowing spring."
and help those in trouble.
Then your light will shine out from the darkness,
and the darkness around you will be as bright as noon.
11 The Lord will guide you continually,
giving you water when you are dry

You will be like a well-watered garden,
like an ever-flowing spring."
- Isaiah 58:10-11(New Living Translation).
GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD

NOTES
Today has been mostly cloudy with high temperatures in the mid sixties. I missed attending Sunday School and church this morning. I had a flat tire on my van. I had to buy a new tire this afternoon. Treva left for home about 1:30 p.m. She helped me a lot while she was here by helping to get my kitchen in order. She called this evening to say she had made it home safely with her cargo of a cat and a dog. The cat and dog slept together in the back seat of her car most of the time as they traveled home this afternoon. I attended church tonight.
The cats are fine, still going in and out in the mild weather. Little Girl is asleep on the back of the couch here in the den. She went outside earlier for a little while.
At 9:30 p.m. skies are cloudy with a temperature of 55 degrees. I will see you next time.
In Christian Love, Everett.

GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD
9 For God saved us and called us to live a holy life. He did this, not because we deserved it, but because that was his plan from before the beginning of time—to show us his grace through Christ Jesus. - 2 Timothy 1:9(New Living Translation).
GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD
34 Then Peter replied, “I see very clearly that God shows no favoritism. 35 In every nation he accepts those who fear him and do what is right." - Acts 10:34-35(New Living Translation).
A QUOTE
Never worry about numbers. Help one person at a time, and always start with the person nearest you.
- Mother Teresa -
THOUGHTS TO REMEMBER
To profit from good advice may require as much wisdom as it does to give it.
- From Reminisce Magazine -
The only time you must not fail is the last time you try.
- From Reminisce Magazine -
NOTES
Today has been mostly cloudy with high temperatures in the mid sixties. My daughter, Treva, is visiting with me from Topeka, Kansas. We had lunch at Taco Bob's and had supper at Wendy's. Tomorrow we will have our noon meal at home. Treva has done some unpacking for me today, putting dishes, pots and pans in place in the kitchen and I certainly appreciate it. She did find time to go to Komar's to do some shopping. She brought her cat, Gaia, and her dog, Libby, with her. My cats have been staying outside a lot as they have not become that well aquainted with Gaia as yet. Gaia stays inside all the time.
The cats are doing fine. Since the weather is getting warmer I have been sitting with them some in the back yard. They always like for me to come sit with them.
At 8:50 p.m. skies are cloudy with a temperature of 60 degrees. Have a Good Lord's Day tomorrow! I will see you next time.
In Christian Love, Everett.

Health Care
Do we really need another huge bureaucracy in D.C.? The Postal Service (which is semi-private under the direction of Congress), NASA, (totally gov't), AMTRAK, gov't owned and always in debt, Social Security, Medicare and Medicade, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac; all of these are either being downgraded or deeply in debt, all under government control. Now what do people really think,( that is, you the voter), will happen with health care if it is run by the government? To suggest that government will lower costs and keep them under control is simply wishful thinking at its worst!
Health care needs reforming, but not the kind that the Obama Administration and Congress are now planning.
Tort reform, opening insurance across state lines, fighting fraud and abuse (which is very prevalent I am sure), putting all those who cannot afford (meaning they cannot feed and shelter their families and have health insurance) on a gov't subsidy, health savings accounts (tax exemption), and preventative medicine will all go toward lowering costs. There are other ways also I am sure. But government control and take over will NOT lower costs but exacerbate the problem. You can be sure of that!
