Jericho started out strong, but lost a lot of its audience when it...

OK..long story short, a dear lady(Barbara) in our church has a neighbor who brought over a stray cat. Barbara & her husband are getting their house ready to sell, so they can't take in a =^.^=. She sends a church wide email looking for a home, and guess who replied.
