    Updated Jun 10, 2010

    Submitted by Jon Monday On May 30 around 8 p.m. we noticed that our house cat was fixated on something outside. It was getting dark, but we were able to make out a large black cat.

    “Give to us clear vision that we may know where to stand and what to stand for -- because unless we stand for something, we shall fall for anything.” -Peter Marshall What a great prayer for us to pray in our quiet times alone with God.
