What a week!
You may be still waiting for electricity or water; I hope both are restored soon and you can begin to get things back to normal.
We had water the entire time of the ice storm, but lost electricity. Thank goodness for our fireplace and the wood that Gary and Andrew had piled up. Thank goodness for help getting it split.

While many think of civil liberties in terms of speech, privacy or economic autonomy, one of the most overlooked liberties is the freedom of parents to direct their children’s education.

Coral Depot has grown through word of mouth, social media, and the oldest marketing strategy of all: people telling people.
Some places in Mississippi rest on more than land—they rest on layers: memory, people, purpose. When you visit, you feel it. These places quiet you, draw you in, and remind you that this land holds a legacy.
Arriving at Coral Depot, you sense it—a feeling as distinctive as the beautiful longleaf pines that surround Sumrall.

One of the strange things about mass media is that you deal in masses of people. Every week we have multiple obituaries in our newspapers. Each of the deceased leaves behind a wake in the water of humanity, touching other lives in innumerable and profound ways.
Our God creates so many people and yet each person is unique and precious. It is mind boggling, but that’s simply the way it is. Our job at the newspaper is to chronicle their passing. We cannot begin to fully express the magnitude of their journey.

Below is a political opinion column by Starla Brown and Thomas Kimbrell:
The implication is clear: exempting facilities and services from CON restrictions will expand access to them.
On January 28, a federal district court struck down Mississippi’s long-standing moratorium on the establishment of certain new health care facilities, calling the forty-year application of the moratorium “irrational.”

In a sure sign that spring is not far behind, the first purple martins of the year have been spotted in Mississippi.
The birds were seen on Jan. 31 in Gautier, Mississippi, by a purple martin enthusiast – one of many throughout the eastern and central United States who track and report on the birds’ annual migration on behalf of the Purple Martin Conservation Association (PMCA). The migration of these unique birds can be reported and tracked through a community science project called the Scout-Arrival Study.

How can so much beauty bring so much devastation?
It was 3:22 on Saturday morning, Jan. 24, when our power went out. I know, because I had crawled out of bed to visit “the facility,” when all of a sudden I found myself in the dark.
We knew the ice storm was coming and had tried to prepare for it. We experienced it before in 1994, when Clay and I, with our two small children and his parents, huddled in our den on mattresses in front of our only heat source — the beloved wood fireplace.
