GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD
(The Lord said) 3 "For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour out my Spirit on your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants." - Isaiah 44:3(New International Version).

A PROMISE FROM GOD'S HOLY WORD
(Jesus said) 24 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life. 25 Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live." - John 5:24-25(New King James Version).

A QUOTE

NOTES
Today has been partly cloudy with a high temperature of 95 degrees and a low temperature of 72 degrees. I had lunch with Charley and Bill and came by the post office to pick up my mail. My neighbor mowed my front lawn around 1:00 p.m. I took my afternoon nap without a cat napping with me. At around 4:00 p.m. I went to the newspaper office (McAlester News-Capital) to pay my subscription bill. While there I visited with my friend, Pat, who is office manager and also receives the Good Things. She attended school with my daughter, June, but that has been a few years back. Then I went by Country Mart for a few items and used a couple of coupons which they doubled. I put fresh water and treats outside for the cats about 6:15 p.m. Have I told you lately that I love to get e-mails? Well, I am telling you now and that includes you and you and you. I will send more pictures tonight.
The cats are fine except Emmy has not come home yet. Rascal is lying on a desk close by me with a little bowl of dry cat food that he nibbles at once in a while. Right now he is trying to sleep but wakes up to be petted occasionally. The other cats are elsewhere at present.
I will see you next time,
In Christian Love,
Everett.
