SUMMARY: Beds for Kids is a nonprofit organization that provides beds, mattresses, and bedding to children in need who do not have a bed to sleep in. Started by Stanley Hudleston in 2018, the organization has delivered over 3600 beds and continues to serve around 100 children every month. The volunteers build beds every Monday morning at Mount Olive Baptist Church and deliver them to children across Tennessee and the Delta region. The organization’s goal is to ensure that every child has a proper place to sleep, as sleeping on the floor or in a chair is heartbreaking. Parents are encouraged to reach out for assistance, especially during the summer months when the need is even greater.

Daniel Alsup with Beds for Kids talked about the national bed crisis that is affecting kids.

SUMMARY: Governor Tate Reeves announced Mississippi’s “Power Play” initiative, aiming to lead the nation in energy production. The plan seeks to address the state’s energy deficit, as it consumes nearly four times more energy than it produces. Reeves outlined three goals: cut red tape, attract investment, and establish Mississippi as a national energy model. The initiative emphasizes faster permit approvals, investments in traditional and renewable energy, and exploring small modular nuclear reactors. Reeves hopes to lay the foundation for sustainable growth, even after his tenure, positioning Mississippi as a key player in the energy sector.

SUMMARY: The Catholic Diocese of Jackson reflects on Pope Francis’ impactful legacy, highlighting his message of joy and simplicity. Mary Woodward, Chancellor of the Diocese, admired the dignity and simplicity of the Pope’s funeral, which exemplified his approach to life and leadership. Francis’ focus on marginalized communities and his efforts to build bridges rather than walls earned him respect across faiths, even among non-believers. His funeral was a significant moment, marked by images of the Pope at the Cathedral of Saint Peter in Jackson, with a red cloth symbolizing his connection to the Apostle Peter.
