I have always loved to read and study about the Amish people. If I were not a true Southern Baptist, I believe I would convert to the Old Order Amish religion. I so appreciate their peaceful calm tranquility in the ways of working and doing for others. I believe we could all learn from these serene people. The work ethic is so ingrained into them that they rise in the early morning hours to begin their workdays and end with the dark to stop the laboring. The most worthy attribute of the Amish is their desire to care for their own.

What if no one came . . . to help?
What if no one offered a hot meal to those who had no way to heat their home or prepare food?
What if no one brought supplies for the sick and the babies?
What if no heavy machine arrived to do what a man and his chain saw couldn’t?
What if no one checked on you to be sure you had some kind of heat or helped get you to a place that was warm? Brought water?

It is pruning time for shrub roses, hydrangeas, gardenias, and other summer-blooming shrubs. And yes, even crape myrtles and vitex, for those who choose to do so.
In fact, last week somebody beat me to a crape myrtle tree I harvest every year for material to maintain a woven-wattle herb border at the Ag Museum in Jackson. I expertly pollard the tree by pruning long, limber stems back to thick knobs.

The outrages keep piling up day after day. On February 6, 2026 at 5:44 in the morning, the Truth Social Account from “Donald J. Trump@realDonaldTrump” tweeted a 62-second video of former President of the United States Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama as hairy, muscular apes, swaying in a jungle to music. I do not know how many overt racists there are in the United States of America. I venture there are not enough to keep either the President or his party in power.

When I was a student teacher, I had a conversation with a science teacher I worked with about natural selection. I asked if she thought this process of survival of the fittest was a good thing. “Oh yes,” she replied quickly, “natural selection helps weed out the weaker of a species and makes the species stronger, which serves the greater good of the group.” I then asked her a follow-up question I had been genuinely curious about for a while.

Every few years, it seems some folks wake up one morning and decide the real problem in Mississippi is that citizens know too much about what their government is doing.
This is one of those years.
The Mississippi Public Records and Open Meetings Acts are called our “Sunshine Laws” for good reason. They preserve the rights of citizens to know what their government is up to.

The boom in manufacturing jobs President Donald Trump forecast last April has yet to loom much yet boom. “Manufacturers shed workers in each of the eight months after Trump unveiled ‘Liberation Day’ tariffs,” the Wall Street Journal reported this month.

Online sports betting is poised to become legal and regulated in Mississippi. Interestingly, the reasons given by many of our legislators for legalizing something that can be incredibly destructive are the same reasons many of us believe illicit drugs should be legalized and regulated.
