GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD

(Jesus said) 15 “If you love me, keep my commands. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— 17the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. - John 14:15-17(New International Version).

One penalty of sin is that gradually you get used to it and do not know it is sin. - Oswald Chambers - You'll do more things that count if you don't stop to count them. - From Reminisce Magazine -

NOTES

Today has been another hot sunny day. High temperature was 94 but the heat index (the way it felt) was around 100 degrees. I had lunch with Charley. I went to the post office. I took a nap with Tony. I intended to go to Walmart around 3:00 but it was so hot that I decided to wait until in the morning when it will be a little cooler. I gave the cats their treats outside around 6:00 p.m. but I only stayed out with them for 5 or 10 minutes. Thanks for everything, notes, prayers and reading the Good Things.

The cats are fine, none are with me at present but I have seen all of them this evening.

Have a nice Friday,

Everett.

Today has been a partly cloudy day. We had rain last night and another heavy thunderstorm just after 6:00 this evening. I had lunch with Charley. I went to a Family Dollar Store and then to the post office. I took my nap this afternoon with Tony. I decided to try another Good Things tonight. Thanks for reading.

Tomorrow is Independence Day. Remember the sacrifices that many have made for us to have a free America. Remember the thousands of people that have given their lives for our freedom. In World War 2, I saw my buddies killed and wounded around me. I prayed that God would take care of me and he did even though I was wounded with shrapnel from a Japanese hand grenade. Remember to pray for families that have lost loved ones in defending our country. Pray for our country. It there ever was a time for Christian people to live a Christian life and show love to everyone it is now.

HAVE A HAPPY AND SAFE 4TH OF JULY AND BE CAREFUL WITH FIREWORKS.
