BRENHAM, Tex. - If they only had an attraction, the sisters at the Monastery of St. Clare concluded, they could solve their two longstanding problems.

Secondly, although the contemplative life is the center of their existence, it does not cover the bills."We don't get paid to pray," said Sister Angela Chandler, 48, soft-spoken but kinetic.

Cute, but not as cute as miniature goats. Or miniature goats with cats.
