Scripture—> He leads the humble in doing right! - Psalm 25:9

As a kid growing up I loved the Dallas Cowboys. In the 70’s and 80’s Tom Landry led a team of stars - Roger Staubach, Tony Dorsett, Drew Pearson and many more. Most of these guys were childhood heroes to me. While playing youth football many of us believed that having a pair of Converse “TD” All-Star cleats (like Dorsett wore) would make you a great runner and player.

The federal court ruling was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court.

This sweetie pie is Jacob! He is just one of the several kittens we have that will be available soon at the Bullock County Humane Society. Jacob has begun his kitten vaccinations and has gotten his rabies vaccine, but he is still a little early to have been neutered. Jacob will be fully vaccinated and neutered come early fall, but with a face like his and personality to match, he won't be available long. Don’t forget it's Christmas in July at the Bullock County Humane Society!
