A fire early Monday morning has claimed the life of a cat and left two families without a place to live.

Shortly after 3:30 a.m., the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service was called to a two-storey home in the 400 block of Redwood Avenue.

The house was fully engulfed in flames when crews arrived and it had spread to a neighbouring home. 

Firefighters fought the fire from outside, declaring it under control just over an hour later. 

Most residents evacuated before crews arrived. Firefighters also temporarily evacuated some neighbouring homes as a precaution.  

Mully Children's Family has been close to the heart of local author Paul Boge since he first visited decades ago. 

"I went to MCF for the first time in 2003 to teach physics and math, and Charles Mully asked me to write the story of his life," said Boge. "I almost fell off my chair. It felt like you were interviewing somebody who had just walked out of the book of Acts."

He has been involved ever since, writing five books about Mully Children's Family, including his latest book Transformations.

Fans of The Chosen are beyond excited as they await the release of Season 5 of the popular show. 

On Sunday, Dallas Jenkins announced via a live stream on YouTube that The Chosen's next season will be released in April 2025.

"It is coming to theatres, the entire season, not exactly all at once, but you will have a chance during the theatrical release to at some point, spend an entire day watching the entire season," said Jenkins.

Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew is sharing an experience he had during a recent visit to the Prairie Green Landfill in hopes of offering a new perspective on the search currently underway at the facility, located northwest of Winnipeg, for the remains of Morgan Harris and Marcedes Myran, the missing women believed to be buried there.

Accompanied by the women's families, who also brought with them their spiritual support, one of which was a Christian pastor, Kinew says the moment happened on their way back down the hill.

1 Peter 1:24-25

For, “All people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord endures forever.” And this is the word that was preached to you.

Proverbs 13:4, 9; 20:4

I just looked up the definition of "thorough" in my dictionary. Mr. Webster says it means "carried through to completion, careful about detail, complete in all respects." Somehow, I find that a convicting definition. Few indeed are those who finish what they start—and even fewer do a complete job of it when they do finish a task.
