GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD
 
 3 But you, O Lord, are a shield around me;
      you are my glory, the one who holds my head high.
 4 I cried out to the Lord,
      and he answered me from his holy mountain.
- Psalm 3:3-4(New Living Translation).
 
 
 
GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD
 
 12 Therefore, dear brothers and sisters, you have no obligation to do what your sinful nature urges you to do. 13 For if you live by its dictates, you will die. But if through the power of the Spirit you put to death the deeds of your sinful nature, you will live.  - Romans 8:12-13(New Living Translation).

NOTES
 
Today has been mostly sunny with high temperatures around 100 degrees.  I had lunch with Bill and Charley.  I came by the post office.  I took a nap without a cat.  Later in the afternoon I went to Walmart and came back by Walgreens to pick up a prescription.  Today is my birthday.  My kids couldn't make it for my birthday but they are coming to visit on Labor Day weekend and celebrate my birthday at that time.  I have been on this earth for 85 years.  I have seen many changes in my 85 years.  There has been so much progress in making our lives easier to live.  However, as far as morals go, our country is at the lowest point now that I have ever seen.  God is still on the Throne and He will be close to you if you will just turn loose of your sinful living and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.  Then He promised that you would live for all eternity.  I am waiting to go see my Jesus and my Flonnie and be with them forever and ever.  The picture tonight was taken from my front yard looking to the back yard.  You can see some crepe myrtles blooming and if you will look closely you can see a cat in the back yard.
 
The cats are fine.  None are in the den with me but they are all around somewhere.
 
At 10:05 p.m. skies are fair with a temperature of 85 degrees.  I will see you next time.
 
In Christian Love, Everett.
