It’s hard to believe but February is about over. If you recall, there are just 28 days. Yes, I still do the 30 days has September, April, June and November . . . . Today, I want to shout out to my alma mater Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro for doing an outstanding job, honoring Black History month.

I heard someone say the other day as we get older our major hobby becomes visits to doctors. Well, I have a lot of hobbies. I don’t need to add a medical one. But it looks like I have, at least so far this year.

I want to recognize Dr. Farris Beasley, of Lincoln County, for his receipt of the Governor’s Volunteer Stars Award. Each year, 1.6 million Tennessee volunteers give over 137 million hours of community service — contributing $3.3 billion to our economy.

The last several columns I’ve written have been to recognize and honor certain missionaries and preachers of the Gospel of Jesus Christ that most of us have never heard of. They are some of the Unsung Heroes of the Faith.

Some of you may have wondered whether my cat was walking across the keyboard while I was typing the title of my column, Pecunia Non Olet. It's a Latin phrase that translates into “Money has no smell.” So why have I chosen that as the title of my column?

I’ve always been a western fan (like Cheyenne Bodie, Marshal Matt Dillon, The Virginian to name a few). But watching the black-and-white old Hollywood versions of handsome men on horses shooting revolvers is completely different than the live action of one’s first rodeo.

It’s beginning to look at lot like … time to take down all of those Christmas decorations. If you are able to store those Christmas decorations it is time do it. So store them until next year. It will be Christmas again before we know it.

I want to thank the bi-partisan Select Committee on Redistricting — especially Chairman Curtis Johnson and Attorney Doug Himes. We had several meetings over the fall and early this year and I feel like we have come up with a very good plan.

There are two sides here for me: I don’t want to use dirt roads, but I hate to see houses in the cornfield. I can speak from observation.

Since about age 4, I’ve perused bookshelves everywhere I go. Thanks to my family providing me with lots of books, I began reading at a very early age. But I realize the most important resource I have right at my fingertips—The Bible.
