The process of deciding which college to attend turned out to be much longer than Daniel Young expected. The Madisonville High School graduate said July 22 that the July 17-19 Major League Baseball draft caused university and college coaches to re-evaluate their recruiting.

The following persons were arrested or booked into the Madison County jail. All persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

My wife’s family had been in the sheep and goat business for several generations and her dad even had a world champion ram at one time. They raised fine Rambouillet sheep which have very fine wool for making beautiful clothing among other things. The sheep were imported from France in the 1800s. They are strong, produce well, raising lambs that are very good to eat. They grow and produce wool but there can be a problem. A grease (lanolin) is on the wool. To rub up against them or handle them you get the grease (lanolin) on you and it is very hard to get off. So how do they make that dirty greasy wool clean and white? By soaking the wool in hot water and soap can make it come out clean free of the grease and dirt. The result is snow white wool. Thinking about wool reminds me of something in the Bible. First it says we are dirty before God because of sin, and we all have sinned, (Romans 3:23, Isaiah 53:5&6). Unless something is done about our sins we will never be allowed to dwell with God, (John 8:24, Acts 3:19). The only way our sins can be forgiven is by trusting in Jesus Christ and by what He did on the cross, (John 1:29, Isaiah 1:18). Only then can we have fellowship with God, (John 1:12,5:24, Revelation 3:20).
