Condolences to the Conner family on the loss of their mother, Kathryn Conner Spruill. They were our next door, down-the-road neighbors for years. They moved to Calhoun City in the late 60s but kept their land in Oakland. Two of the children now live on the Oakland property.

Warm and pleasant greetings to all. We hope you are enjoying a good week. As usual, there’s always some days, even weeks, more challenging than others, but it’s what gets us through ’til the next. We learn to live with the hard situations. Conditions fluctuate and God may not change the situation, but He changes us, because we belong to Him.
On Thursday afternoon, day 34 following the ice storm, we had service connections restored for phone and internet. Yes, residents were (I was) delighted!

I am still surprised when driving to familiar places, when walking over the land and when on back roads.
Our landscape has changed.
As it regrows, heals and is cleaned up, our landscape will continue to change. The wounds of the ice storm will leave scars, even though grass, new plants and new trees may cover them.
I love to wake up and spend some time drinking my morning coffee and looking out the window at my flower garden (whether dormant or blooming), the bird feeders, the little pond and the trees within my sight.

The Mississippi House recently went all-in to legalize online sports betting in the state.
House Bill 4074 passed 101-10, a surprisingly large margin, especially when you recall that the much-hyped school choice legislation got through the House by only two votes before dying in a Senate committee.

March 2024, I wrote a blog called When Sin Disrupted the Olympics. In this piece, I explained the high hopes people had when the Modern Olympics began at the turn of the 20th century.

Too many young people still leave Mississippi to chase opportunities elsewhere. MCPP is on a mission to help change that - by creating the conditions for real, sustained growth so our children and grandchildren choose to stay, build lives, and thrive right here in our state.
The good news? Mississippi is no longer a laggard, but leading.

Poor Speaker White. His omnibus school choice bill got short shrift in the Senate. His resort now appears to be name calling. “Senate leadership has aligned themselves with the ACLU, Southern Poverty Law Center, the Mississippi Democratic Party, and the status quo,” he whined.
