GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD
27 All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD, and all the families of the nations will bow down before him, 28 for dominion belongs to the LORD and he rules over the nations. - Psalm 22:27-28(New International Version).

- NOTES
Today has been mostly cloudy in McAlester, Oklahoma with a high temperature of 57 degrees and a low of 43. Yesterday I had one and three tenths inches of rain at my house. Today I had lunch with my brother, Charley, and our friend, Bill. I went to the post office and then on to Walmart and the Petsense store. I took a nap this afternoon with one of my cats named Beau. I put cat treats and cat food outside at 4:30 p.m. for my cats and any stray that might come along. My cats eat most of their food inside the house but also like to eat the treats when I take them outside. I had e-mails from Alice and Geneva that I will leave at the end of the Good Things. If you would like to share what you do with your time, send me an e-mail and I will include it in the Good Things, with your permission of course.
Tonight I would like to welcome Mellisa Rock to the Good Things. She is one of the good waitresses at Taco Bob's Fiesta Grill. Bobbi told her about the Good Things and Mellisa wanted to receive them also. Welcome to the Good Things, Mellisa! I hope I spelled your name correctly.
The cats are fine. Little Girl is on the back of the couch and Rascal is in the recliner here in the den with me. Beau, Emmy, Friendly, Itty Bitty, Leo and Smokey have all been seen this evening. Also my stray cat named Lucy has been around. I will see you next time,
In Christian Love, Everett. ************************************************************************************************** Here is Geneva's letter. Geneva lives near Chicago.
Everett, It's nice to learn about different people, and it's amazing just how many people came from the area in which I live. Downers Grove is not close to me, but I've been there. I am now a member of an Evangelical Free Church in Arlington Heights and many people came to my husband and told him that they grew up in the same area in which he grew up in the city of Chicago. That area is enjoying a resurgence where old houses are bought and torn down and three and four story brick buildings go up, some with fireplace chimneys all the way up. The church that we were members of for 40 plus years (a Baptist church) is now filled, with people being saved, but not a lot of long term commitment to the church such as we enjoyed there. The son of a Baptist missionary to Spain is now the pastor there. All of the older generation that made that church a vibrant place where the younger generation were taught The Word and how to live are now gone to Heaven. They were family to me when I was young. Everett, your commitment to sending the Good things is inspiring and the Bible verses
and quotes always speak to me. God bless you! Geneva ********************************************************************************************************* Here is Alice's letter from last night:
It rained really hard today here. I've been inside the church most of the time, never got wet :) Leo has the right idea, there's nothing quite like watching the rain! Or, for that matter, there's nothing quite like walking in the rain! I think I love the rain!Love you to old dude :) I'm so glad God is Love!
God's blessings, Alice
