Welcome Integrity: IMAGINE

1 year ago By Nicoleta Neagoy
I wake early to be in prayer for my Family, dearest Friends, and a myriad of folks whom I love. Prayer has no limit to its power. Being in prayer is my sole consolation in troubling circumstances. Years ago, in a conversation with a new found Friend on Maui, she said, “My prayer is your prayer.” I treasured her wording. And it sealed our friendship.

Morgan, Cats Shut Down Apple Springs

1 year ago By Cecil Tatom Sabine County Reporter
The Brookeland Wildcats played host Apple Springs March 25 to battle with the Eagles, and they would draw first blood in the second inning when Landen Smith would score on a sacrifice bunt from Jordon Brister and Cash Powell would score on a single from Cade Morgan. The contest was quiet until the fifth when the Cats struck again, this time using aggressive base running as both Powell and Morgan would score on a sacrifice bunt from Sammy Lundquist to make it 4-0.

DO CATS HAVE NINE LIVES?

1 year ago By Neal Murphy
When I was very young I heard people say that cats had nine lives. I did not know exactly what that meant but thought it was a lot of nonsense. However, as I have grown older, I have grown wiser. I realize that there is actually a lot more to this saying than at first meets the eye. So, where did this particular myth come from, and how true is it? You may be surprised to find out that it does have a very strong basis of truth, but not set in magic as we sometimes like to imagine, but in the law of physics.
