NOTES

Today has been partly cloudy with a high temperature of 49 degrees. I had lunch with Charley and Pastor JT. Brianna was our waitress. I went to the post office. I took my nap with Emmy and I am not sure who else joined us. Last night about midnight I went to the front door to let Tony inside. A little half grown black kitten came running in the house with Tony. It got behind a chair and started growling at Tony. I tried to talk to it to calm it down but it just growled at me. I put some dry food down for it but I am not sure if it ate it. It stayed in my house all night and this morning it got behind the television, still growling when I talked to it. I had seen the young teen age boy next door with a black kitten so I assumed it might belong to my neighbors. I thought that I might have to tame the kitten and keep it myself rather than send it to the shelter and take a chance on it being euthanized. My neighbors left out quite early so I didn't get to talk to them until the middle of the afternoon, all the while the kitten still in my house, not bothering anything of course. When I finally talked to the lady next door she said yes, it was probably their son's cat but she would have to wait until he got home from school to check on it. He had activities after school and did not get home until after 7:00 p.m. this evening. It was his cat and it stopped growling as soon as it got in the boy's arms. A happy ending to my cat story tonight. Thanks for reading the Good Things. Thanks for your notes.

My cats are fine. Lucy, Rascal and Tony are with me tonight. Lucy in the floor, Rascal asleep in the recliner chair and Tony asleep on the sofa. I have seen all the kitties this evening.

Have a good Saturday,

Everett.

GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD

1 Dear friends, do not believe ever spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world. - 1 John 4:1-3(New International Version).

GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD

NOTES

Today has been partly cloudy with a high temperature of 66 degrees. I attended worship services today. We had a wonderful service with choruses, hymns and spiritual songs. Jayme Reinbold sang a special song. She sang that great song "How Great Thou Art" which blessed my heart and I am sure it blessed everyone. Jayme told me that she sings at Branson, Missouri. She is Imogene's granddaughter in law. Pastor JT gave the usual wonderful message. Today's message was titled "Are We Listening For God?" I had lunch at home. I took a long nap with my cat named Emmy and others were with us at times. I gave the cats their treats inside at 5:00 p.m. I watched the Lawrence Welk show from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. After my evening meal, I put the garbage on the street for pick up in the morning. Thanks for your notes and thanks for reading the Good Things.

The cats are fine. None are with me at present but they have been around all evening and I have see all of them.

Have a nice Monday to start the week.
