Below is a religion column by Matt Friedman:
America, because of an anemic Church here, is, indeed, in trouble. But it doesn’t have to be. A move back to the narrow path of Scripture, or not?
“America is in trouble. Because the church is in trouble. We are more concerned with appetite and comfort than we are in the Truth.”

For 100 years, the Skrmetta family has been the bridge between mainland life and that offshore escape.
There’s a moment that happens just after the boat pulls away from Gulfport Harbor.
The shoreline softens behind you. The air changes. Phones go down. Kids press against the rail, rail, hearts pounding excitedly as they scan the water, convinced they’ll spot the first dolphin. Seagulls ride the wind overhead. And passengers look in awe as The Mississippi Sound stretches wider than most people expect.

Daniel found that shirt when he was a senior graduating from Corinth High School and brought it home!
Fortunately, he could read it! And laugh about it.
This time of year, many families are focused on children and young people graduating from kindergarten to PhD programs! What a celebration of planning, hard work and achievement.

Gardens thrive with no-fuss
Cheyenne Spirit coneflowers
By Eddie Smith
MSU Extension Service
Certain plants earn a permanent place in gardens not just for their beauty, but for the way they show up year after year without fuss.
