The Scott County School District has been honored by the Mississippi School Board Association (MSBA) in their Lighthouse School Leadership Awards Program.
The Senate was filled with a variety of action this week with the passage of various resolutions and proclamations honoring great Mississippians. In committee action, the grind to the deadline continues.
We just passed the seventh week of the session, and we are in the crunch of getting bills out of committee so that they can be considered by the full House. The deadline for getting measures out of committee is Tuesday, March 3. Those who don’t make it will die for the session.
It is pretty clear that when we start measuring rainfall by the foot, rather than the inch, there is going to be the danger of a flood. There is absolutely nothing good about a flood.

Idolatry
Idolatry is a current problem in the lives of many people, when a leader, singer, etc. is exalted. When the exalted person is idolized, it is a sign of foolishness. In a Christian society the only one we can exalt at that level is Jesus Christ. Compared to God, human beings are reduced to nothing.
