The Cats of Surin Baptist Church


The Cats of Surin Baptist Church. Well, what can I say? Goatee is the proper, black and white one. Nobody knows how he got such a nice fur coat, seeing that his mother was rather mottled. He also goes by the pseudonym "Tuxedo". His sister is Andee, whiny, matronly, and perpetually pregnant. That means lots of kitties to go around. Then there's Loki, Andee's son from her first litter, whinier than she and getting into EVERYTHING. Not quite sure what's with his tail, it looks normal until you get to the end, then it explodes in a firework of hair. Then... there's Gooch. Ah, what is there to say? He is different. Round face, and belly to go with it. His name apparently means "dung beetle". But he's the heart-throb of every Thai who visits our house. Sometimes people also call him Garfield for obvious reasons. So here are the infamous cats at SBC. There's enough personality here to go around a couple times!

The Exclusive Body

I was inspired when reading through 1 Corinthians 12, especially verses 13-22. There, Paul compares the church to a body, pointing out that every part of the body is crucial to the survival and health of the whole. So in Christ's church, each person is important the way God made them. We should help a foot be the best foot it can be, not try to make it a hand. Good things to think on...
