Felix was a street cat for two years before he was scooped up by his foster mothers. He was very skinny when...

I usually try to use the Scripture readings for the upcoming Sunday as a source of inspiration when I have the opportunity to supply an article for the religion section of the Havre Daily News and that is what I am going to use for this week also.
