GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD
17 Evening and morning and at noon I will pray, and cry aloud, And He (the Lord) shall hear my voice. - Psalm 55:17(New King James Version).

GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD
17 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit, 18 because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and approved by men. - Romans 14:17-18(New International Version).

FUN THOUGHTS ABOUT CATS

NOTES
It was raining when I awoke this morning and rained until around 9:00 a.m. Skies cleared in the afternoon. High temperature today was 87 degrees and low temperature was 68 degrees. I had lunch with Charley, Bill and my pastor, J. T. Carnell. I went outside and checked on the cats before I took my nap this afternoon. I took my nap without a cat. I sat outside with the cats this evening for about 30 minutes from 5:30 to 6:00 p.m. I watched the Jimmy Sturr Orchestra from 6:00 to 6:30 p.m. Jo Ann Castle, who used to play the piano on the Lawrence Welk program was a guest on the show today. This program is current and up to date. I sure appreciate your e-mails but it seems I can't seem to find the time to answer them indivduallly but rest assured, they are read and appreciated. I will leave pictures tonight.
Last night I asked you to send me an e-mail if you had been with me from the start of my e-mails which were not always called Good Things. I heard from three people who had been with me from the start and I will probably hear from others. Those I heard from were Claudia (my great niece from Willits, California), Audie (my cousin from Moore, Oklahoma) and Laura ( a church friend from McAlester, Oklahoma). I appreciate these people and I appreciate those who have joined me through the years and are so faithful now in reading the Good Things. My old back, body and mind are getting tired now. June, I would like to have you here again but I know you will have to take care of your own home until sometime next year when you will visit again. In the meatime, Treva and Ron will visit me as time goes along.
The cats are fine. None are inside with me at present but Rascal and Emmy were both here a short while ago. My cats have to have a little attention from me when they come in. I have seen them all this evening.
I will see you next time,
In Christain Love, Everett.
