NOTES
 
Today has been partly cloudy with high temperatures in the mid seventies.  We had a nice shower of rain sometime after midnight last night.  I didn't know when it was happening.  I had lunch today with Bill and Charley.  I came by the post office.  I had an appointment with my family doctor, Dr. Jackson, at 1:15 p.m.  He didn't find anything new wrong with me.  My blood pressure was a little high so he put me back on some medicine that he took away four months ago.  I took a nap with Smokey and I think Emmy was on the bed also.  Later in the afternoon I went to Walmart for cat food and other items.  I sat out with the cats this evening and read until the street lights came on.  I had e-mails from Alice, Audie, Debra, Janice, Mary Jo, and Nan.  
 
The cats are fine.  Little Girl in her favorite spot.  Rascal has been hanging around most of the evening, most of the time lying in the floor.  I guess he is trying to make up for being outside most of the day.
 
At 10:45 p.m. skies are mostly cloudy with a temperature of 62 degrees.  I will see you next time.
 
In Christian Love, Everett.

GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD
 
 4 For the word of the LORD is right and true;
       he is faithful in all he does.
- Psalm 33:3(New International Version).
 
 
 
GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD
 
 6 Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7 Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.  - Philippines 4:6-7(New Living Translation).
 
 
 
A QUOTE
 
The most painful word - alone.
- John Van Diest -
 
 
 
THOUGHTS TO REMEMBER
 
Don't break the silence unless you can improve on it.
- From Reminisce Magazine -
 
It's no use raising tadpoles if you can't keep the frogs.
- From Reminisce Magazine -
 
 
 
NOTES
 
Today has been partly cloudy with high temperatures in the mid eighties.  I attended church this morning.  Pastor J.T.'s sermon was titled "Do My Feelings Matter to God?" with Scripture from Luke 22:39 and Mark 14:32-41.  I had lunch at home.  I took a nap this afternoon.  Smokey took a nap with me.  I attended church tonight.  On Sunday nights we are studying a series titled "The Motivational 'Gifts' of The Spirit."  The title of tonight's study was "The Gift of Prophecy." 
 
 It was dark when I arrived back home, however, I went outside and put out treats and food for the cats.  Several people told me how much they enjoyed the pictures, so once again, I am including a picture.  My niece, Ruby Renfro, who lives in Arizona, copied the picture of Flonnie and me and is going to put it in a frame and put with their family pictures. If they mean that much to people then I will keep sending them because it is no problem for me. The picture tonight is a sunset made from my back yard.  If anyone is not able to receive the pictures, please let me know.
 
The cats are fine.  Little Girl is in the recliner tonight.  Rascal has been through several times but is somewhere else right now.  If anyone ever wonders why I write about my cats every night is that they are my family.  They have been so much company to me since my Flonnie went to Heaven.  Tony, the cat from across the street, just came in for a bite of dry cat food.  My cat food must be a different flavor than he has at home.
 
At 10:10 p.m. skies are fair with a temperature of 73 degrees.  I will see you next time.
 
In Christian Love, Everett.

NOTES
 
Today has been a sunny day with high temperatures in the mid eighties.  I had lunch with Charley and then by the post office.  A lady and her daughter cleaned my house in early afternoon.  I took my nap.  Smokey was the one who chose to sleep on my bed this afternoon.  Later in the afternoon I went to the cemetery.  Then I went to Country Mart for cat food and other items.  I sat outside this evening with the kitties.  I would like to share a story with you tonight that I received from Michele Filitti.  She gave me permission to share it.  Michele lives in Southern California near or in Los Angeles.  She and her daughter, Amy, have a new kitten named Simon, Amy has an older cat named Molly and they have a dog named Bella.
 
My cats are fine.  Rascal played a trick on me last night.  He stayed out until about 4:45 a.m.  He had me worried and praying that he would come home safely which he did.  He came and got in bed with me like nothing had happened.  He was really sleepy for a while this morning after I got up.  He got in my lap a couple of times and went to sleep.  Now he is lying in the floor not too far from my chair.  Little Girl is in her favorite spot.  Beau just brought in a frog.  Itty Bitty and Smokey are watching him play with the frog.  I will have to take that frog back outside. 
 
At 9:55 p.m. skies are fair with a temperature of 64 degrees.  Have a Wonderful Sunday!  I will see you next time.
 
In Christian Love,
Everett.
 
Here is Michele's Story:
 
  A story I want to share:

My Dad was a drug user my whole life. I loved him any way. One day 10 years ago I talked to him about Christ. He wasn't ready. But one day he went to church and got saved. He has been clean and sober ever since. We prayed and prayed for that day to come.

My Dad does not have a computer. So he asked me to contact his friends on Facebook from high school.

I did. His friends all knew he was a user. But I told all his friends he was born again and clean and sober.

You know what? ALL OF HIS FRIENDS BECAME CHRISTIANS OVER THE YEARS!

I am so happy I was able to get him reconnected with his friends.

My Dad is an artist. I will send you a picture that he drew. He does a lot of drawings of Christ's hands on the cross. 

Michele

GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD
 
18There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.  - 1 John 4:18(New International Version).

 
 
GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD
 
28 And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.  - Romans 8:28(New Living Translation).
 
 
 
A QUOTE
 
Get a pet and love it.  Watch what it gives back to you.
- Debra-Lee S. Levesque -
 
 
 
THOUGHTS TO REMEMBER
 
The way to gain a good reputation is to endeavor to be what you desire to appear.
- From Reminisce Magazine -
 
People will forget what you said and did, but they will never forget how you made them feel.
- From Reminisce Magazine -
 
 
 
NOTES
 
Today has been a sunny day with high temperatures in the mid eighties.  I had lunch with Charley.  Bill Derichsweiler and his wife came in and ate with us.  I also saw Stan and Sue McMullen and daughter Pam Lewis at Taco Bob's.  I went by the post office and then to Walgreens to pick up a prescription.  I had my nap with Emmy on the bed and Beau on top of a high shelf in the same bedroom.  I sat out with the cats this evening.  Today I heard from Burlene, Debra, Gail, Janice, Jennifer and Ruth Poteet.  Thanks for the comments on my Flonnie.  Sometimes I think about stopping the Good Things but I really believe the Lord wants me to continue them.  So I will keep sending them until it is time to stop them.  You can always request to be dropped from receiving them for a while and I will certainly understand.
 
The cats are fine.  Little Girl in her usual place.  Rascal has been in but is somewhere else now.
 
At 10:45 p.m. skies are fair with a temperature of 58 degrees.  I will see you next time.
 
In Christian Love, Everett.

NOTES
 
Today has been a sunny day with high temperatures in the upper eighties.  I had lunch with Charley.  Then I went to the post office, Walgreens and Walmart.  I took a nap with Beau and Emmy.  I sat out with the cats and read a little this evening.  What a beautiful evening we had.  I usually come inside when the street lights began coming on.  A few cats are always with me up until the time I come in.  Thanks for the e-mails from Alice, Annette, Audie, Burlene, Geneva, Lucille and Paula.  The picture tonight is my dear wife, Flonnie, and me.  This picture was made a few years ago in Topeka, Kansas, by Lake Shawnee.  We were visiting our daughter, Treva, during the Thanksgiving holidays.  Unless  I change my mind I think this will be the last picture that I show on Good Things.  I have lots and lots of pictures on my computer made the past few years.  If you would like to see more pictures, let me know and maybe I will send them separately to the ones that want them.
 
The cats are fine.  Little Girl on the couch.  Rascal just left out.  Smokey came through a few minutes ago.
 
At 10:40 p.m. skies are fair with a temperature of 59 degrees.  I will see you next time.
 
In Christian Love, Everett.
