GOD'S PROMISE TO US FROM HIS HOLY WORD

NOTES
 
Today has been a sunny day with a high temperature of 75 degrees. Low temperature this morning was 55 degrees. I had lunch with Bill Derichsweiler and my pastor, J. T. Carnell. I went by the post office. I took my nap in early afternoon. About 3:30 p.m. I went to Walmart for my weekly supply of items. I saw Steve Patterson at Walmart and I welcome him back to the Good Things tonight. I sat outside a little after I returned from lunch and again about 5:30 p.m. While I was sitting out this evening I observed a large Turkey Vulture gliding along pretty fast against the wind without flapping his wings. That is amazing to me how they can glide over the air currents against the wind and guide themselves in the direction they want to go. I also saw a large flock of blackbirds flying pretty fast and all of a sudden they all swooped down at the same time and lit in a tree. Now I wonder how all those birds knew to swoop downward at the same time. Pretty amazing things that God created, huh? The cat picture tonight is Lucy, the little stray that we tamed a few years ago and had neutered so she would quit presenting us with kittens two or three times a year. As I have mentioned before, I didn't take Lucy with me when I moved to Moore for 10 months because she wont let you hold her and doesn't want to stay around all the time. Lucy will let you pet her but not hold her. She will come in the house maybe once a day but doesn't stay long in the house. When I moved back from Moore, Lucy was back in a day or so. My brother said he saw he once near the back yard while I was living in Moore, so she really knows how to survive.
 
The cats are fine and all have been accounted for.
 
At 10:15 p.m. skies are fair with a temperature of 59 degrees. I will see you next time.
 
In Christian Love, Everett.
