 "It's a terrible thing when faith becomes graceless. It's a terrible thing when faith degenerates from keeping fellowship to just sort of saying we got to keep the rules," preached the late Dr. Frank Pollard in 1997.  His sermon discussed how some become modern-day Pharisees, more concerned with being "heretic hunters" or "watchdogs of orthodoxy" to the detriment of all, including their faith.  Just think Mary in Young Sheldon. Enjoy the sermon as Dr. Pollard preaches from John 5: 1-30.  The scripture is posted below.

Despite all the huffing and puffing after the media reported how candidates such as the Jackson Mayor abuse filing campaign finance reports with no accountability, the legislature killed all bills that would put some teeth into Mississippi's almost non-existent campaign finance laws for local candidates.  Supervisors and Mayors throughout the state can rejoice.

You know that war over there that nobody talks about over here? Yeah, the second war Biden botched during his first year as president. Nowadays everybody’s talking about President Trump ending that war with a press conference in the oval office. In just over a month, Mr. Trump has closed our borders with Canada and Mexico, renamed a mountain in Alaska, and created a new body of water on our southern border. He has simultaneously baffled every woke person in America with whirling dervishes.

Life tends to deliver milestones in clusters, never spreading them out at a leisurely pace, but stacking them up all at once. This week is no exception. On Saturday, my daughter is getting married—a once-in-a-lifetime event. Then, two days later, I board a plane to spend the next eight weeks working overseas. It’s not ideal timing, but that’s the nature of my life. In the coming months, I’ll host six trips across Europe—Spain, Tuscany (twice), a Tuscany trip I call Tuscany 2.0 where I host guests who have already travelled with me in Tuscany but with all new adventures, Holland/Belgium, and England/Scotland. Some of these trips I’ve done before, some are newer variations, but I love what I do, no matter how many times I do it. And while those familiar streets, piazzas, and villages bring me joy, my mind isn’t on travel at the moment. It’s on something far bigger.

Pete Perry authored this post.  Given the recent flareup over early voting among our elected officials, JJ thought it might spur debate if someone presented the case against early voting.  

As proposed by Senate Bill #2654, “No-Excuse” Early Voting would allow Mississippi voters to cast ballots in person at their County Circuit Clerk’s office for 15 days prior to Election Day, be that a primary, special or general election.
