National Election 2016

Are you as a devout Christian praying concerning the upcoming presidential election? The Body of Christ is more and more facing persecution as the forces of secularism and atheism gain power in our government. Pray much for who the candidates will be and for whom to vote. Your vote counts!

NOTES

Today has been another hot day with a high temperature of 96 degrees. I had my house made pleasant to live in for another week as Stephanie and Dillon went over my house again. I had lunch with Charley. I went by the Sewell Animal Hospital to say goodbye to Dianne (a longtime receptionist) who is moving to Germany with her husband who will work there. I went to the post office. At 2:00 p.m. I went to the Dental office just so the doctor could check on my lower teeth that he had worked on. He thought they were in good condition. I then took a late nap with Tony. The cats are fine. Rascal has been here a short time ago and I can see Leo just outside the front patio door. I have seen all of them this evening. Thanks for notes, prayers and your patient reading of the Good Things (I hope).

. Have a nice Wednesday.

Everett.

GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD

(God said) 12 "Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you." - Exodus 20:12(New International Version).

NOTES

Today has been a hot day with a high temperature of 96 degrees. I attended church this morning. We had the usual good service with choruses, hymns and spiritual songs. The title of Pastor JT's sermon was "Seven Words that COULD Change Your Life." Those seven words are "Not My Will But Yours Be Done." You will find words similar to these in Matthew 26, verse 39. I had lunch a home. I had a nap this afternoon with a few cats (three or four). It is just too hot to go outside with the cats and besides they are staying inside a lot. I have seen all of the cats this evening. I have the garbage to get ready and put on the street and then I can rest the rest of the evening.

Have a nice Monday to start the week.

Today has been a hot day with a high temperature of 97 degrees and of course the heat index was much above 100 degrees. I had lunch with Charley. I went to the post office and then to the Pet Sense store for canned cat food. I took a nap with Lucy. Darren and Kathy came and mowed my lawn this evening. The cats are fine. I just now gave them their treats inside since mowing was going on earlier. I have seen all the cats this evening. Have a good Saturday.

NOTES

Today has been another hot sunny day with a high temperature of 97 degrees with the heat index well above 100 degrees. I had lunch with Charley, went by city hall, then to the post office, then to Walgreen's to pick up a prescription, then to the clinic to leave some papers for my doctor and finally home for a nap with Tony. Itty Bitty was with me for a few minutes before moving on. I put treats out for the cats at 6:30. My niece, Ruby, asked me how I did the Good Things. Well, I have Bibles, books, and magazines real close to me and any thing else that might come my way. I try to not use the same things over that I have used a short time ago. The cats are fine. None are with me at present, but I have seen all of them this evening. Thanks for your notes, prayers and reading the Good Things. Have a nice Wednesday.
