Franklin was talking about preventing fires. We’re talking about preventing floods. Rain causes floods. A clogged Mississippi River makes them longer and higher. Mudberg clogs the river. It’s a mound of sediments (sand and mud) below the Old River Control Complex (ORCC) upstream of Baton Rouge.

At other points in the nation’s history, perhaps the tax gap was of less importance to some in government.
Talking about taxes, Nobel Prize-winning Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw wryly observed: “A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.” Herman Wouk, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of “The Caine Mutiny,” was more pointed when he said: “Income taxes are the most imaginative fiction written today.”

Below is a religion column by Matt Friedeman:
We would be wise to consider John the Baptist’s words in John 3:30, “He must increase, but I must decrease.” Less of ourselves and more Jesus – the key to truly abundant life.
In February of 2023 a revival broke out on the campus of Asbury University in Wilmore, Kentucky. It was preceded by lots of prayer and the quiet desperation of spiritual need; it was followed by a wave of national exposure and media commentary.
