5 But now I am going to him who sent me, and none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’ 6 But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. 7 Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.

The Question
An American woman stands with her hand over her heart, singing and weeping with joy, as our national anthem is played to honor her for winning her Olympic race.

The First Amendment is often treated as a slogan, something stitched onto banners or reduced to a bumper sticker. In practice, however, it is a discipline—a commitment to restraint by those who hold power and an affirmation of dignity for those who do not. At The Star Herald, our decision to publish all letters to the editor, regardless of viewpoint, is not an indulgence in controversy. It is a recognition of constitutional seriousness and civic humility.

This cold weather makes me melancholy as I sit and ponder yesteryears. It makes me remember the days of cold winter that I spent with my grandmother and grandaddy in Montgomery County.
You hear people talk about living in the country, well this was LIVING in the country. The property sat right on the Montgomery County line and the Attala County line. The old barn, housing the old Guernsey milk cow, sat straddle the two county lines.

Perhaps I heard the phrase “can’t see the forest for the trees” prior to “Different Drum” (1967) by the Stone Poneys (which song launched Linda Ronstadt to superstardom) —
“But honey child I’ve got my doubts
You can’t see the forest for the trees”
