Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. The ermine is a short-tailed weasel that has the unique feature of having its fur change to a snow-white color in the win¬ter. God created this animal with this feature to protect it from others. The ermine instinctively protects his white coat ...read more

The Light Of The World Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Sep 8, 2021
