Good Things

by Everett Christian, McAlester, OK

GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD
7 All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and sea creatures are being tamed and have been tamed by mankind, 8 but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. - James 3:7-8(New International Version).

GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD
38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.” - Acts 2:38-39(New International Version).

A QUOTE
The Christian surely means to be considerate and kind in Heaven! But why not here on earth and in these trying circumstances where perhaps his friends and neighbors need it most? - Bolton Jones -

THOUGHTS TO REMEMBER
Faith's highest expression is a life wholly surrendered to God. - From Reflecting God -
I would rather be a poor man in a garret with plenty of books than a king who did not love reading. - Macauley -

NOTES
Today has been mostly sunny in McAlester, Oklahoma with a high temperature of 56 degrees and a low temperature of 30 degrees. We have rain in our forecast for tomorrow. I saw Charley and Bill at noon. I also saw my good friends, Stan and Sue McMullen at Taco Bobs. I went by the post office. Later I went to Sandy Isenhower's CPA office and picked up my tax return. Sandy has several of my cat pictures on her large computer. As usual I took my nap this afternoon. At 4:30 p.m. I put cat treats and food outside for the cats. Since last time I have heard from Burlene, Alice, Michelle, Debra, Geneva, Pastor J.T., Donald and Evelyn. I am always happy to receive e-mails.
The cats are fine. Rascal is in his usual place. Beau, Emmy, Leo and Tony have also been here in the den this evening but have now gone elsewhere. I have seen all of them this evening. I receive lots of comments on my cat pictures.

Have a nice Tuesday!
Until next time may the Good Lord Bless and Keep each one. Everett
