Senate Resolution No. 53 recognizes Sonny James Equine Ministries (SJEM) of Aledo, Texas, for its positive impact on youth in the region. Founded in 2016 by Cherie Morton, SJEM aims to enhance the lives of middle and high school students through equestrian activities that promote confidence, discipline, and Christian values. The organization offers a variety of programs, including riding instruction, camps, and competitive teams, while also focusing on faith-based initiatives and community service.

The resolution commends the efforts of Cherie and Johnny Morton, along with the members and staff of SJEM, for their dedication to fostering positive values and inspiring young Texans to become engaged citizens and leaders. The Texas Senate expresses its high regard for the organization and extends best wishes for its continued success, with an official copy of the resolution to be prepared for SJEM as a token of appreciation.
