Good Things

 GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD
(Stephen spoke these words just before he was stoned to death)48 "However, the Most High doesn’t live in temples made by human hands. As the prophet says, 49 ‘Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. Could you build me a temple as good as that?’ asks the Lord. ‘Could you build me such a resting place? 50 Didn’t my hands make both heaven and earth?’" - Acts 7:48-50(New Living Translation).
GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD
14 For this God is our God for ever and ever; he will be our guide even to the end. - Psalm 48:14(New International Version).

NOTES
Today has been mostly sunny. The official high temperature for McAlester as shown on the Internet was 92 degrees but the thermometer in my van showed the temperature to be in the mid to upper nineties. Anyway it was hot today. I had lunch with my brother, Charley, at Taco Bob's Fiesta Grill as I do every day. I went by Country Mart and then to the post office to pick up my mail. I took a cool nap in early afternoon. Later I went to Walmart for some items. The picture tonight is my great-daugters Holly in white dress and Jaimie with straw hat on. Their dad Chris is also in the picture as well as my daughter, Treva. They are placing flowers on my wife, Flonnie's, grave. I have lots more pictures so I might need to go back to daily Good Things until I get all the pictures shown. I have a great-grandaughter due to be born tomorrow whose name is Ella. Her parents are Treva's son and wife, Bryant and Ashley Blank. I would like to welcome Brent and Brenda LoPresto to the Good Things. They, with their children, have been attending the same church I attend. They are moving back to Arizona the last of June. They say they are going back home to Glendale, Arizona. We will miss them but I will send them the Good Things so they will know about things in McAlester. My 8 cats are fine. They are all outside at present. At 10:35 p.m. skies are fair with a temperature of 79 degrees. I will see you next time.
In Christian Love, Everett.
