“I’ve heard the saying growing up, but it was never really a reality to me at the time. Life is like a vapor, and before you know it, it’s over,” advised Chris Read. “Spend every minute and every moment you can enjoying the life that you have and the family that you have because, once again, before you know it, you’ll look back and say, ‘Where’s my life gone?’”

Polling conducted earlier this year shows a majority of Americans support education freedom, open enrollment, true parent accountability measures, and direct funding models that give families greater control and flexibility to provide the best education possible for their children.
Lawmakers in Mississippi are not the only ones considering ways to expand education freedom and provide more parental flexibility. There is a growing national trend away from the traditional zip-code based school model.

Below is a political opinion column by Kimberly Ross:
Whether you’re a regular citizen going about your daily life or the leader of the free world, we all have a duty to turn down the temperature of hatred and division.
There are simply no words sufficient enough to describe the evil that is murder. When a human being takes the life of another human being, something is clearly and deeply broken. And when a family member kills one or more of their own, the horror is compounded to an unimaginable degree.

Below is a religion column by Matt Friedeman:
Jesus has arrived to change the world…but it’s going to get rough out there; that’s part of the deal. Go tell everybody, anyway.
All kinds of things you can do with the Christmas story. What we shouldn’t do – be satisfied in it.
After Jesus was born, Joseph took the young family to the Temple for apparently two major reasons talked about in the Law – for Mary’s post-birth purification and to present Mary’s firstborn to the Lord.

Politicians use statistics and polls to emphasize the parts of the truth that they want us to believe. But, statistics should not be used as simple talking points. “Gun deaths: are not the same as “gun violence.” Seven people died in Mississippi two weeks ago. Several more were hit by gunfire. Even more were missed. If we ignore those who were nearly hit, we have ignored the reality of danger. Tell us how many shell cases were picked up by police? That's the measure of potential death. Potential is measured by how many bullets missed.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) is in charge of flood control on the lower Mississippi River (1928 Flood Control Act). Congress gave it that job to prevent another disastrous 1927 flood. The Corps has spent billions on its Mississippi Rivers and Tributaries Project (MRTP). It is supposed to keep the largest future flood (Project Flood) inside the levees and pass it safely to the Gulf. But the Corps’ 2019 flow line study predicts levees will overtop again — in a lesser flood.

Christmas morning would find my sister and me rushing through the hallway into the den hoping that Santa had left a multitude of toys, firecrackers, candies, and nuts. The excitement couldn’t be contained and on most of these mornings, Pop would snap a couple photos capturing the expressions on our faces. To say eyes were wide open, and mouths agape, would be an understatement There were wrapped gifts under the tree that we tore into, leaving the shag carpet completely covered in ribbons and bows.

Happy New Year! 2026 beckons.
Hard to believe it’s that time again. The holiday season is drawing to a close. One more week and then it’s time to tighten the belt and get on with the new year.
At 67, my New Year’s celebrations are getting a little less rowdy and late. When I was young, I wouldn’t even dream about not staying up until midnight to watch the new year roll in. Now it’s a bit less exciting.

With the recent interstate accident leading to monkeys on the loose in our community, it’s too bad I didn’t think of this mental health principle earlier. Asian hunters have a unique way of capturing monkeys. They cut a small hole in a gourd and place some food inside. There is barely enough space for the monkey’s hand to fit through the hole to grab the food. The gourd is firmly attached to the ground. Once the monkey grasps the food with a clinched fist, its hand is too big to pull out.

For just a moment, think back in time to the hills of Judea on that first Christmas eve and put yourself in the place of the shepherds One of the things that impresses me in the Christmas message is the upward and downward effect of Christ’s mission revealed in the message of the angelic hosts, “Glory to God, Peace to men.” I was reading some of the sermons written by T. DeWitt Talmage and came across this thought: “When the Father sent his Son into the world, the angelic hosts saw something they had never seen or known before in their Creator.
