The Yalobusha 4-H Club prepares to show their float in the Oakland parade.
First and foremost, as I type this, it’s my “little” brother’s birthday! Happy birthday to Rich Ross! He’s pretty amazing in my book. Thanks, Rich, for all you do for our family, for our community, and for whoever needs a helping hand.

The Promise of Joy
Through the prophet Isaiah (Isaiah 35), God said that the parched desert will be brought to increase. The wild places will display a type of beauty never seen before. He pointed to the crocus plant, a beautiful flower, as an example of unexpected joy.
The Lord gave numerous examples of places where joy will not only appear but also bloom and grow without being expected by humans. We are encouraged to look for joy because God is the creator of joy. It will spring up by the power of God.

I have, since a child, always had a dog as a pet.
Roy and I lost our girl, a tiny Yorkie named Bella Noel. The Noel was from the fact he gave her to me at Christmastime.
She was our company here at home and whenever we traveled to our other house on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. She had a bed on the back seat of my car that she would sleep in all the way, anywhere we traveled with her. When we were home, she had her pillow right next to my chair.
