I found me in a dark wood,
Gone astray from the direct road . . .”

If you live in Mississippi, you certainly know a thing or two about Armadillos.
They are most often found on the side of the road due to an unfortunate meeting with an automobile. They are not the most attractive animal, and unless you see beauty in strangeness, you would normally consider them to be ugly.
But there is more to the armadillo than meets the eye.

Loblolly pine trees comprise more than half of Dean Burchfield’s farm acreage in Pontotoc and Union counties in Mississippi, and he estimates at least half of that took on some degree of damage from the ice storms Jan. 23-27, 2026.
STARKVILLE – It is far too soon to put a dollar figure on the total damage to Mississippi’s forestland from the Jan. 23-27 winter storm, but agricultural damage assessment teams with state agencies are helping affected landowners estimate their financial losses and identify their next steps.
The Mississippi State University Extension Service has provided several of those teams, sending agents to make on-the-ground site visits to evaluate ice damage to non-industrial private forests in seven counties.

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.
In April 2025, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported 12,847,000 manufacturing jobs. By October the number had fallen to 12,702,000 (seasonally adjusted), dropping to 12,692,000 in December (preliminary).

God’s instructions to the people long ago were to “show your fear of God by not taking advantage of each other” (Lev. 25:17).
In essence, God is saying: “In everything, then, do to others as you would have them do to you” (Matt. 7:12).

"Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work; if one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up! Also, if two lie down together they will keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken." Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

Readers may recall that Kelley Williams and I have written extensively about all the new Mississippi data centers, especially the huge one in Madison. Our beef is that these data centers will consume more electricity than all the other grid customers combined. Who is going to pay for this?

Bills that would have provided Mississippi teachers with a boost to their salary are dead for now, after House and Senate failed to make it out of committees by Tuesday’s deadline. Chairmen of the House and Senate Education Committees pledged to continue to work to provide the raises through other means. However, those efforts may also prove unfruitful.
