Need help with the Internet
I write about the internet getting better in rural America, especially rural Scott County. Some of the people in rural Scott County pay a high internet service charge and still cannot listen to the sermon on Sunday morning when it is not cutting off and restarting with down time in between the cut off and the starting up again. The students were able to get on the internet and keep up with their classes. But guess what if the internet does not work, they had to go to town and sit in a parking lot that had free Wi-Fi. You have online schools that will help your child stay abreast with their learning, again we cannot get on the internet. Please someone out there help get the internet better in rural Scott County.

Glad to see my cousin Daniel Townsel of Milwaukee joining in on the services on Sunday. Danny had spent part of his life and time in Midway and attending Scott Central Attendance Center.
I was told by Helen Moore’s husband she was ill and fighting Covid 19. He told me she was doing as good as her symptoms enable her. Sunday on Facebook Rev. Alvin Moore, Helen’s husband published that he had tested positive. Remember both of them and their families in your prayers.
Prayers go out to Carmadell Williams and her family. She was moved from Morton Hospital to a Jackson Hospital where she had surgery. She came through the surgery fine. Remember her and her family in your prayers.
My garden is growing beautifully even the grass. I am eating turnip greens, mustard greens and squash.
