Robert St. John says his restaurant business and travel business aren’t two businesses. They’re the same business. It’s all hospitality.
There’s a moment — right before the northern lights appear — when the sky looks like it’s deciding whether, or not, to show you something. Then it does, and you understand why you traveled 4,000 miles. Twenty-five Americans stood beside me in the snow. Nobody spoke. The northern lights don’t require commentary.

“Election day means election day, not election week, not election month, not election season,” Mississippi Republican Party chairman and RNC General Counsel Mike Hurst contends.
The Republican National Committee and the Mississippi Republican Party will make their case before the U.S. Supreme Court Monday morning in the lawsuit filed to overturn a COVID-era state law that allowed for ballots to be received and counted up to five days after an election.

The bill’s author, State Rep. Shanda Yates, described the bill as a “great piece of legislation.” She said landlords not paying utility bills when part of a person’s rent is an issue across the Magnolia State.
Legislation to ensure utilities are paid that are included in a person’s rent or lease has cleared its final hurdle in the Mississippi Legislature and is now on its way to the governor’s desk.
The measure seeks to hold landlords criminally responsible for collecting utility fees but not paying the bill.

I think that I may be in the small minority of people who don’t mind being put to sleep when they must have surgery done at a hospital.
Let me explain: My Dad was a lifelong cardiac patient who had many medical emergencies over the years, most of them happening in the middle of the night. So, I learned to be a very light sleeper, and ready to go at a moment’s notice.
Once my children were born, as most mothers know, I still didn’t sleep throughout the night.

Guided by Paul’s teaching, we hope all things are done decently and in order (1 Cor. 14:40).
God is not the author of confusion, and Jesus witnesses this truth because He was with God from the beginning. Even this revelation confuses some people. So, imagine the confusion when God’s Word says Jesus relinquished His deity to save the lost. Perhaps you cannot imagine that surrendering power to become a servant is the order of things.

“It ain’t much, but it’s mine.” These are the words you might hear when someone has paid off a loan or purchased something outright (vehicle, property, house). It is an admission that there is great value in personal ownership. In essence, God says to those created in His image: “You are something, and I want you to be Mine.”

“The soul of the sluggard desires and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat” Proverbs 13:4.
We live in a time when we are slaves to the urgency of schedules and appointments, where our meetings and outings dictate the use of our time, and even relationships. We over-commit and over-schedule, and do not give it a second thought. Yet, time is important, and our management of time will give others a glimpse of our priorities and character.

It was 38-years ago on St. Patrick’s Day that I gave the prettiest girl I know a diamond ring and asked her to share my life.
The romantic devil I was in my younger life, I had picked St. Patrick Day for the several reasons.
Sara’s maiden name is Reid, she has red hair and a demeanor to match an Irish reputation. My favorite color is green.
Come on! If you have to find a reasons to give a girl a ring, I guess you should not be doing it. But then again, if you are hopelessly in love, any reason is a good excuse.

Mississippi Commissioner of Agriculture and Commerce Andy Gipson (R) signed an administrative order on Monday aimed at shielding the state’s agribusinesses from California’s new climate reporting mandates.
