A good day
A simple sign recently displayed at the Attala County Library: “It is a good day to read.”
It is hard to improve upon that. It is also impossible to overstate it.
In an age that thrives on immediacy — headlines without depth, opinions without reflection, noise without knowledge — the notion that any given day is a good day to read feels almost radical. Reading requires stillness. It demands attention. It insists, politely but firmly, that we think.
And thinking, as it turns out, is a powerful act.

THE BLESSINGS OF LIFE LIVED IN GOD’S PURPOSE
Listen to what the Apostle Paul wrote to Timothy: “…God, who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was granted us in Christ Jesus from all eternity…” (2nd Timothy 1:8-10). God has a purpose for us. Are you a Christian? Are you living in God’s purpose? In Paul’s Colossians letter we learn of four great blessings which come from living in God’s purpose.

Community
By Jeanette Jackson McDaniel
Good morning, friends and neighbors. I hope this finds you all well and doing fine.
I pray that you will all find a church to attend somewhere this Sunday and take part in Bible study if possible. As for me, I look forward to midweek service on Wednesday nights—it helps carry me from one Sunday to the next and gives me the opportunity to gather with my church family.
If you do not have a church home, I would like to invite you to join us at Full Gospel Community Church on Highway 12 West in the Shady Grove community.

Though school choice talks have stalled this session, bills regarding a state tax program that incentivizes Mississippians to donate to private schools have now passed both chambers of the Legislature and head to final negotiations.
Since 2020, private schools and foster care organizations have been receiving money through the Children’s Promise Act, which gives donors a dollar-for-dollar tax credits for up to 50% of the donor’s state tax liability.
