New Albany, MS – I like words. Words are powerful. Words have meanings. Words can incite anger or invoke passion or bring solace. They have the power to bring people together or tear them apart. Words are powerful and should be written and spoken with extreme care. As I reflect on the subject of […]
Someday, I’m going to die. Guess what? So are you! How will it happen? I don’t know. A falling meteorite is not likely to strike me, but I guess it’s possible. A lightning strike could take me out, although that’s not likely either. I don’t make a habit of going near erupting volcanoes, so I’ll […]
Guest Author Steve Patterson, with nothing but time on his hands, takes a look at the entertainment value to be found in politics, with a special nod to the South.
I have a friend down in Winston County who hates government. He hates politics and politicians, and is quick to voice his displeasure to anyone willing to listen. Yet, he is one of the most patriotic people I know. He loves his country. He tears up when the national anthem is sung and is […]
I don’t like cowards. I abhor cowardly, weak leadership! I have no patience for those political leaders who stand timidly on the sidelines, avoid controversy at all cost, and allow popular opinion, no matter how ill informed, to run amuck and do a lasting disservice to the people they have pledged themselves to serve. Sadly, […]
I have attended far too many funerals lately. Seems like all my old friends are dying. Alas, that’s what happens when one reaches my age. We all start to lose old friends and beloved family members. Sometimes, they die. Sometimes, they move far away. And sometimes, time and circumstances just […]

As the world struggles with this mysterious and frightening disease, we should seek comfort in the Holy Scriptures, as well as the words of those who have lived through similarly frightening uncertain times! The era […]
New Albany, MS – I know Joe Biden. Joe Biden is a friend of mine. Joe Biden’s mental acuity is not in question. It is cruel unfounded politically motivated nonsense to say otherwise. Nothing could be further from truth than the pseudo rambling diagnosis of “sundowners” dementia offered by Elizabeth Shiverdecker of former Vice President […]
The sun peeked out quietly over the fallow cotton fields and surrounding woods, slowly spreading its warmth over the entirety of Cotton Plant. Winter had closed in much more quickly and severely this year in Union County, cutting short autumn’s glorious shocks of brilliant colors, while also curtailing my beloved outdoor activities when the school […]
Way back in the 1970’s and 1980’s there were a good many aspiring young progressive political wannabes roaming around Mississippi. I was among them. We all shared a desire to make a difference, to serve what we all viewed as an under-served state. We wanted to bring Mississippi, kicking and screaming, into the twentieth century. […]
“and ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free“ John 8:32″ Twelve years ago this month I experienced one of the most impactful afternoons of my life. After having spent a week walking in the footsteps of “the prince of peace,“ who’s last commandment to his followers was to love […]
Once upon a time there was an idea. It was a grand idea. An idea admired and emulated the entire world over. An idea conceived in liberty, justice, freedom and God-given inalienable rights. An idea that proclaimed all men were created equal and none were above the law. It was an idea that led […]
