GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD
1 God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. 2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, 3 though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging. - Psalm 46:1-3(New International Version).

GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD
37 Consider the blameless, observe the upright; there is a future for the man of peace. 38 But all sinners will be destroyed; the future of the wicked will be cut off. - Psalm 37:37-38(New International Version).

A QUOTE
I don't know what your destiny will be, but one thing I do know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who have sought and found how to serve. - Albert Schweitzer -

NOTES
Today has been a sunny day and not as hot as yesterday. High temperature today was 93 degrees with a low temperature of 73 degrees. I attended Worship Services this morning. We had another wonderful service. I had lunch at home. I took my nap this afternoon with Smokey on a night stand near my bed. I talked with my daughter, Treva, around 3:00 p.m. who is in Ithaca, New York. She will be traveling with her son and his wife and baby, Ella, for the next 3 days as her son moves his family to Olathe, Kansas. I watched the Lawrence Welk program at 5:00 p.m. which was taped in 1968. I did not attend church services tonight. I put fresh water and treats outside for the cats at 6:10 p.m. and sat out with them for a few minutes since it was not quite as hot as it has been. I then got the garbage ready and out on the street for pick up in the morning. I appreciate your e-mails. I will send pictures. We have a prayer request today.
Here is a prayer request from Mary Jo Holt of Roseburg, Oregon: "I have a request, a dear friend of ours has cancer, she had surgery for breast cancer and was doing well, now they think it has spread to her adrenal glands, bones and stomach. Please ask your friends to say a prayer for her. She is a very special lady, she is a special education teacher and good friend of Claudia's also. Thank you."
The cats are fine except for Emmy who has been gone two or three days. She has done this before so I am hoping and praying that she will return. Rascal is asleep on the desk near me. Little Girl was in a little while ago.
I will see you next time,
In Christian Love, Everett.
