Nordheim News makes it all the way to Missouri

GOD first....Heavenly Father, we sometimes are questioning our worth or the worth of others. It seems that we judge others by their riches, skills, or our productivity. We know when we try to earn our salvation, Lord, we already know it is a free gift from You. Help us to live to this gift and nurture and share it with others because material things are only human standards. But Your gifts come to us freely every day. We pray in the name of our dear Savior, Jesus. Amen. 10/23/2024 12:37 PM

5th Circuit Court removes judge from foster care suit

The federal judge who has repeatedly found Texas in contempt for not fixing its foster care system has been removed by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals after a threejudge panel faulting U.S. District Judge Janis Jack’s “highly antagonistic demeanor,” The Texas Tribune reported. The three also reversed the $100,000 daily fine against the state’s defendants — the Texas Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Family and Protective Services, which runs the foster care system. 10/23/2024 12:37 PM
