Motivational Moments – Aug. 7, 2023
SUMMARY: Pastor Dwayne Higason shares a motivational message based on John 14:6 where Jesus says that he is the way, the truth, and the life. He suggests that instead of simply teaching people to accept Christ and sharing the truth with them, we should also demonstrate the way and walk alongside them. By explaining why we live as followers of Jesus along the way, there is a greater chance that they will come to experience the fullness of life in Christ. This approach of showing, explaining, and hoping can be a model for us as we share our faith with others. These motivational moments are brought to you by Grace Temple Church.

Mayors in Hinds County call for delay in inmate housing fees
SUMMARY: Mayors in Hines County are unhappy after the Board of Supervisors voted to charge cities $50 per day for inmate housing at the Detention Center, exceeding the state’s maximum of $25.

Clinton Mayor Phil Fischer criticized the lack of transparency and input in the decision-making process, noting they were informed of the fee only after the vote. He expressed concerns about the county’s tax increase for the jail while questioning the new fees. An invoice has reportedly been sent, but Clinton has not received it.
