Below is a religion column by Matt Friedeman:
If the Enemy can keep you from what has always been known in Christendom as the means of grace, he has a better chance of causing you to stumble.
For some reason, in elementary school and later in my high school Latin studies, I was taught quite a bit of Greek mythology. The Bible was verboten; not so teaching about the gods and goddesses of Greece.

Matt Friedeman reflects on the death of a mentor and friend, who, true to his gifts and graces, died in the Congo and true to his missionary calling.
I woke Friday morning to news of the death of one of my early mentors. When I was a student at Asbury Theological Seminary, Paul Law invested significantly in my life as part of a small group discipleship program.

Robert St. John says he’s always loved local history. There’s always another story, and always someone willing to tell it.
There are many intelligent ways to sell king cakes. Standing on a frozen sidewalk in Gulfport while the wind removes your will to live is not one of them. And yet. Twenty-eight degrees. Wind like a razor. A line of 125 people who didn’t care.
Neither did I.

Below is an opinion column by Russ Latino:
There are more teachers serving a lot fewer students than just a decade ago. They are being compensated at higher levels than the average worker with a four-year degree. These are verifiable facts. No one cares.
Amid pressure to “do something” and with “free ice cream on Fridays” vibes, the Mississippi House of Representatives and Mississippi Senate have traded competing proposals for budget-stretching teacher pay raises.

Throughout his decades of service to the country, he remained a committed husband and father. Richard Truly took that commitment seriously.
When the ill-fated Space Shuttle Challenger exploded 73 seconds into liftoff on January 28, 1986, the confidence of the entire nation was shattered. Every American, from the school child to the elderly and those who had never had an interest in space exploration, was devastated by the loss of the seven crew members whose lives were lost that chilly morning.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Thursday that people in all states can continue to access a key abortion medication through the mail. The ruling lasts indefinitely while an anti-abortion lawsuit continues.
This is the latest development in a case Louisiana filed last year against the Food and Drug Administration, claiming that the availability of mifepristone via telehealth undermines that state’s abortion ban.

17 But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you have come to obey from your heart the pattern of teaching that has now claimed your allegiance. 18 You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness. 19 I am using an example from everyday life because of your human limitations. Just as you used to offer yourselves as slaves to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer yourselves as slaves to righteousness leading to holiness.

Kosciusko wrapped up spring football with a 12-12 tie in a scrimmage against Horn Lake, a 7A team.
The Whippets quickly fell behind 12-0 when Horn Lake’s first seven offensive plays included two lengthy touchdowns, a pass and a run.
But the defense settled down after that and Kosciusko forced the tie when Caiden Wade threw TD passes to Jack Vance and La’Darrion McBride.
The early struggles on defense did not surprise coach Casey Orr due to the team’s youth and inexperience on that side of the ball.

I am sending this because on Wednesday May 6,2026 about 8:15 I called 911because I woke up to smoke in my house. I didn't know that would lead to the city and others would start the process of me having to get rid of my fur babies. They called me an animal hoarder and that my house had feces all on the floor.
