New Picture in my Collection

I've added another picture to my Rosary Art collection.

Sleeping Through Mass

I'm not talking about myself; I'm talking about Winky.
He was curled up on the couch, fast asleep, for most of this morning's Mass on EWTN.
He woke up very briefly, raised his head, looked right at the TV, gave one "Meow,"
and went back to sleep.
And yes, the celebrant was Fr. Mark!
