Several weeks ago my granddaughter asked if I could proctor at her school for the MCT (Mississippi Curriculum Test). I retired from the Meridian Public System and Anna knew if I could help out, I would.

The teacher of the class was absolutely wonderful. Before the students even picked up a pencil to start taking the test, you knew the teacher loved her students. Ms. Taylor said to her students that she had tried her best to teach them from August until now, things they needed to know that may be on the test, and that this test was very important. That was not all she said to them, she said “I love each of you so much, do your best class, that’s all I can ask of you." I think she was saying ‘the ball is in your court, it’s up to you now.' Ms Cynthia Taylor, I certainly hope I have not embarrassed you, but I want others to know the kind of teacher you are in the classroom. I’m sure the Meridian public school system knows, and now others will know what a good teacher you are.

I could not believe what I read about a teacher at Meridian High School was accused of violating standardized testing procedures. This is absolutely unacceptable.

Thanks, Ann Aycock Mims (my granddaughter), Ms Haley Shirley and Ms Cynthia Pouncy for asking me to proctor at Magnolia School. I am looking forward to next year.

July brings memories of Old Red
Dear Readers,
It’s July and the weather is hot, the grass is growing, and everything is as it should be in East Central Mississippi. With grass cutting season, my thoughts always include, Ole Red, my number one, all-time fav riding mower. Because many of you have asked, here is my Ole Red story again.

Today’s need — 1,979.90
1 JOHN 3:17 - “If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has not pity on him, how can the love of God be in him?” Praise belongs to God as every need in 2010 and 2011 has been met. Thanks to everyone who has generously given over the last two years to change lives physically, financially, and spiritually. Each week I stand in awe of God as I witness God’s provision in our lives. On August 20th 1 JOHN 3:17 will be having a Community Worship Service at the Evangel Temple featuring former Mob Leader Michael Franzese discussing “The Good the Bad and the Forgiven”!!! Former “Prince of the Mafia” Michael Franzese is now a man on a mission. This former mob leader is now a humble man whose fascinating story of redemption and renewal God is using in churches all across the country. Mark your calendar because you will not want to miss this event. If you would like to be responsible for helping bring a group, please contact Trey Long 601-934-9427. We need people from all churches encouraging their congregation to be a part of this special service as we celebrate the provision God has given to meet every need 1 JOHN 3:17 has ever presented. Mark August 20th on your calendar today!

Letter: Loss of more than just a boss

Only in Mississippi . . .
I walked the hayfield located on Highway 16 near Philadelphia, MS. It was green and lush, well fertilized -- a cushioned walk for my weary feet. The blue-bird sky sparkled with the warmth of a gorgeous sun that was poised for a glorious sunset. There was a light breeze in the air and everything seemed right with the world.
