GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD
 
 1Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 2I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."  - Revelation 21:1-4(New Living Translation).
 
 
 
A PROMISE FROM GOD
 
  1 Oh, the joys of those who are kind to the poor!
      The Lord rescues them when they are in trouble.
 2 The Lord protects them
      and keeps them alive.
   He gives them prosperity in the land
      and rescues them from their enemies.
- Psalm 41:1-2(New Living Translation).

NOTES
 
I didn't feel good for part of the day.  In fact I had Charley take me to the Emergency Room at the hospital about 9:00 a.m.  For the past several days I have been having big red bumps appear on my skin and then disappear in a little while.  This started last Saturday and has gradually gotten worse.  This morning as I was eating breakfast it felt as if there was something bad wrong with my left jaw.  I got up and looked in the mirror and the left side of my face had a knot on it as big as my hand and as wide as my fist.  The eyelid of one of my eyes was very red.  Large red bumps were all over my body and legs.  I decided it was time to have it checked out so I called Charley to take me to the emergency room.  My urologist, Dr. McClintock, had prescribed some antibotic pills for me about two weeks ago.  I had taken them all except one.  The lady doctor at the hospital, Dr K. Siren, checked me over and concluded that the antibiotic pills had an allergic reaction to my body.  She had me take about seven pills at the hospital and gave me three prescriptions.  One of them was for predizone.  I came home and went to bed.  I slept for about an hour and a half.  I woke up and looked in the mirror and the knot on my face was almost gone but my lips were about three times their natural size.  I should have taken my picture.  My lips are getting smaller now and I think they will probably be back to normal by morning.  Dr. Siren told me to see my regular doctor on friday.  As I said I am feeling much better tonight.
 
The cats are fine doing their usual cat things.  Little Girl is on the couch.  Rascal comes in occasionally to check on me.
 
At 11:20 p.m. skies are mostly cloudy with a temperature of 78 degrees.  We had heavy rain today around noontime.  I will see you next time.
 
In Christian Love, Everett.
