Seventh Circuit Upholds National Day of Prayer Mandate

AUSTIN – The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit on Thursday vacated a lower court’s ruling and dismissed a lawsuit claiming that the National Day of Prayer is unconstitutional. Last week’s ruling found that the Freedom From Religion Foundation had no standing to challenge the President’s National Day of Prayer proclamation because the presidential action had not caused the plaintiffs any harm.

“Last week’s ruling was an important victory for religious liberties,” Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott said. “The federal appeals court overturned the lower court’s decision and dismissed the challenge to the National Day of Prayer.”

Billie, this was so sweet and heart warming this morning! What a wonderful dog. I even had a few happy tears while watching and listening. And hey, the music is not too bad either! Too bad we don't Taylor more on t.v. or something!

A good morning to you and thanks!

For All The Tuesday Pet People of Amy's Place



Games





I got Butler when he was a puppy, which was very wise
A handsome Dalmatian/Dane mix just made for exercise
Leashed a few steps behind, while I jogged around
The block in order to lose and keep off a few unwanted pounds
A lot of fun in color co-ordinated Reeboks and Sweats
My Good Boy didn't even flinch as we would sometimes jog past the Vets!

As Butler grew up, so did his endurance and his stride
To the point that if I didn't keep up, it might wound his pride
Spending lots of hours running side by side
An excellent choice of a pet with whom to be allied

Yet, when I spend a lot of time to get dressed up to the Nines
My Butler becomes an entirely different breed of Canine!
His head is on a swivel as we exit the lobby's ornate door
Butler ignores the Doorman, but notes the whistlers galore

His body appears relaxed, but we both know it is wound up tight
Always ready to respond to any overt sign of misbehavior or slight
Until we are both clear of what Butler deems a Danger Zone
When his pace will slow and gait loosen all on its own
And then sometimes Butler will stop then slip from the left to right side
Smiling Boyishly as the leash wraps snug and then begins to ride!

Happy Tuesday Everyone

Thank you for, Billie, for this heartwarming story of the
amazing dog, Ricochet, and great song.

Texas is suffering from widespread wildfires.
Thank the Lord.. I see the Dallas - Fort Worth area is receiving heavy rains.
Praying for rain in West Texas and elsewhere.
The drought is severe....the firefighters overwhelmed.
