Cat, Cats, and More Cats . . .

 Our stray kittens are still with us as we hope and pray we can find a home for them. We are thinking mysterious packages sent to friends might be the answer but . . . I think they would know who was gifting them with an unwanted cat.

I have to admit that these two kittens are a feisty, cute pair of cats. I contrived a couple of hammocks to hang along the top of their kennel to give them more play area at the bottom of the kennel. They are like monkeys as they jump, climb, and slam around the cage. They are very alert . . . just leave the door ajar and you are soon hunting down shadow cats - now you see them, now you don't!

Escaped kittens have met their match, however, as our resident house cat, Marcella, only puts up with them in the corner of the kitchen. They step outside that limit and she chases them back into their assigned space. She is serious. They think she is great fun.

We hope to find homes for them soon. We would hate to have to take them to the animal shelter as cats are mostly put down due to overcrowding. It would be nice if more people would take responsibility for their pets and not abandon them in other people's neighborhoods.

Those who are not free in America . . .

Those of us who are raised Christian know who is behind the sins of the world and would like nothing more than to drag our souls down into Hell. We all sin because we are human but the majority of us try to be worthy of a spiritual hereafter in the Presence of our Lord. When we deliberately sin, we are, in essence, calling on Satan because by our actions we are letting him know that we are moving away from the Grace of God.

A priest said once that when we use God's name in vain, we do get His attention because we have called out his name even if disrespectfully. In this short video clip, it is scary to see people publically calling out to Satan to defend their selfish choices.

We all enjoy many freedoms  in this country but ignore the smallest of our citizens. The video clip kind of puts the mind set of the anti-life faction into perspective. I used to wonder how people could take such a stand but their exultation of evil at this event reveals it all.

The administration's take on the Fourth of July . . .

Happy Fourth of July!

Our country has taken a battering over the last few weeks and from those who should be representing us and guarding our freedoms. Today is a good day to remember that we have to include our country's freedom in our prayer petitions to God every day . . . before we lose it.

While the storm clouds gather far across the sea,
Let us swear allegiance to a land that's free,
Let us all be grateful for a land so fair,
As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer.

God bless America,
Land that I love.
Stand beside her, and guide her
Through the night with a light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans, white with foam
God bless America, My home sweet home!

God, help America,
To be her best,
To reap justice and compassion,
And to stride strongly through every test!
From the Great Lakes to the bayous
To the canyons to snowy Nome,
God, bless America, My home, sweet home!
