Tomorrow we turn the clocks forward one hour for Daylight Saving Time. Later sunsets mean more time to enjoy the outdoors.

My father was a minister. I know what happens when leaders invite the Lord into the room. That's why I voted YES on the Tennessee Religious Freedom Act. Tennessee deserves leaders who aren't afraid to pray.

From the classroom to the show barn, FFA students are learning skills that last a lifetime. Their commitment keeps our communities strong.

Happy Mardi Gras! Enjoy a safe and festive evening with family and friends.
