GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD
16 Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results. - James 5:16(New Living Translation).
GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD
(Jesus said) 12 “If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them wanders away, what will he do? Won’t he leave the ninety-nine others on the hills and go out to search for the one that is lost? 13 And if he finds it, I tell you the truth, he will rejoice over it more than over the ninety-nine that didn’t wander away! 14 In the same way, it is not my heavenly Father’s will that even one of these little ones should perish." - Matthew 18:12-14(New Living Translation).
A QUOTE
It becomes not a Christian to do anything so trivial that he cannot pray over it.
- John Wesley -
THOUGHTS TO REMEMBER
Don't fly into a rage unless you are prepared for a rough landing.
- From Reminisce Magazine -
When you give until it hurts, it makes you feel good.

NOTES
Howdy Friends, Neighbors, Sisters, Brothers and Relatives. It has been a long dry spell for the Good Things, hasn't it? I was considering whether to start the Good Things again tonight when I went to my computer. There was a message with the subject "I miss you soooo much! God's Blessings." They didn't write anything, just the subject line. I thought then that I really needed to get back online with the Good Things. Satan has really given me a rough week but I am still trusting the Lord. First of all I got sick on Wednesday with that terrible cold and throat condition. I was resting on Thursday afternoon when I thought I could hear running water. I got up and looked and my hot water tank had sprung a leak and was leaking on the carpet in the hallway. I called and found a plumber who could come that afternoon and install a new hot water tank. While the plumber was working on the hot water tank I was lying in bed and decided to call the insurance company about the wet carpet. They sent someone down from Muskogee about 6:00 p.m. to dry the carpet. The man from Muskogee dried the carpet as best he could and then put 7 big fans in the hallway and bathroom and one bedroom. It sounded like a tornado. I couldn't sleep in the main part of the house for the noise so I slept out here in the den on Little Girl's couch. She kept me company all night. I was still feeling very bad. The man from Muskogee came back the next day just before noon. I told him I wanted those fans out of my house before bedtime because I had to sleep on a couch in the den. He immediately removed the fans and left. The carpet was dry by then. The insurance adjuster came on Monday and they are still working on my claim. On Tuesday of this week it was very cold but I felt like going to Taco Bob's for lunch so I went to my car and it wouldn't start. Charley was already at Bob's so I called down there and had him come pick me up so I could have lunch with him. Later that day I took the van to the Ford Garage and had to have a new battery installed. On top of all that I went to the doctor last Friday. So you see it has been an interesting week for me, but as I said I am still trusting the Lord.
If you want to continue to receive the Good Things send me a note in the next three days. If I don't hear from you I will drop you off because I will assume you don't want them.
The picture tonight was made at Moore with Little Girl. In the background you can see the fence I had installed with the netting on top to keep my cats in the yard. Friendly always found a way to get out in spite of the fence.
The cats are fine. Little Girl on the couch and Rascal on a desk close to me.
I will see you next time.
In Christian Love,
Everett.

GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD
29 Give to the Lord the glory he deserves!
Bring your offering and come into his presence.
Worship the Lord in all his holy splendor.
Bring your offering and come into his presence.
Worship the Lord in all his holy splendor.
- 1 Chronicles 16:29(New Living Translation).
GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD
(The Lord says) 24 "I will answer them before they even call to me.
While they are still talking about their needs,
I will go ahead and answer their prayers!
25 The wolf and the lamb will feed together.
The lion will eat hay like a cow.
But the snakes will eat dust.
In those days no one will be hurt or destroyed on my holy mountain.
I, the Lord, have spoken!”
While they are still talking about their needs,
I will go ahead and answer their prayers!
25 The wolf and the lamb will feed together.
The lion will eat hay like a cow.
But the snakes will eat dust.
In those days no one will be hurt or destroyed on my holy mountain.
I, the Lord, have spoken!”
- Isaiah 65:24-25(New Living Translation).

A THOUGHT TO REMEMBER

NOTES
Today has been mostly sunny with a high temperature of 56 degrees. Low temperature last night was 27 degrees. I have had a miserable cold all day. I was lying in bed most of the day. I didn't feel like going to Taco Bob's today. I heated some soup for my lunch. Flonnie always gave me soup when I was sick or feeling bad. I did venture out to the post office about 1:00 p.m. and stopped briefly by Family Dollar and Country Mart looking for some items that I needed. While I rested this afternoon Rascal came to rest with me. I put food outside this evening for the animals. I considered not doing the Good Things tonight but then I got to feeling a little better. The picture tonight is Leo who got caught on the kitchen cabinet.
The cats are fine. Little Girl is on the couch. Rascal is asleep in the recliner. Beau was here a little while ago. Leo was here earlier. They are all accounted for tonight.
At 10:00 p.m. skies are fair with a temperatre of 34 degrees. I will see you next time.
In Christian Love, Everett.

GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD
19 Truthful words stand the test of time,
but lies are soon exposed.

GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD

who teaches you what is good for you
and leads you along the paths you should follow."

NOTES
Today has been mostly cloudy with a high temperature of 49 degrees. I had an appointment with my urologist at 9:00 a.m. today. He didn't find anything new that is wrong with me and told me to come back to see him in 6 months. I had lunch with Charley and Bill. I went to the post office and then on to Walmart. I took a nap. I put food out for the animals that come in the yard. The picture tonight is a close up of Itty Bitty.
The cats are fine. As I was checking out at Walmart, the lady checking mentioned the cat food that I was buying. I asked her how many cats she had. She said she had 12 cats and lives in the country. She verified with me the fact that each cat has a different personality. Rascal stayed out all night the night before last. Last night he stayed inside all evening. Rascal sleeps with me a lot but almost always waits until I have been in bed a while before joining me. Last night he was already in my bed before I went to bed as if to make up for being out all night the night before. He is staying in pretty close tonight.
At 10:25 p.m. skies are cloudy with a temperature of 35 degrees. I will see you next time.
In Christian Love, Everett.
