The incredible run for the sixth ranked Ole Miss Rebels came to an end in the Arizona desert as they fell to No. 10 Miami, 31-27, in the Fiesta Bowl last Thursday night. Hurricane quarterback Carson Beck dropped back to pass and then found an opening on the left side and scrambled three yards for the winning touchdown with 18 seconds to play. The Rebels behind quarterback Trinidad Chambliss drove Ole Miss to the Miami 35 yard line in two plays. Then Chambliss tossed a pass into the end zone that was ruled incomplete.

Warm and pleasant greetings.
We hope you are enjoying a good week. January begins the new year with new initiatives for whatever is going on. Each month features awareness days, weeks and months, focusing on social and cultural observances. Perhaps the biggest and major focus for 2026 celebration will be globally, the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Declaration of Independence, on July 4.

There has been some debate for many years about which has more influence on us, nature or nurture. Nature being the biological makeup of a person and nurture the physical world that influences nature.
As I pondered this anomaly, I was thinking about my own family, particularly my grandchildren. We have seven grandsons born to our children. They are all as different as night and day as they are “natured” by three very different people.
