ESCAPES JAIL state champions Inmate flees for birthday supper

By DUNCAN DENT [email protected]

A Neshoba County jail inmate escaped custody while being booked last Thursday to enjoy a birthday dinner at his mother’s home near Dixon. Jacob Ryan Dove, 29, of 10720 Road 149 has been brought back into custody after he escaped from the Neshoba County jail Thursday afternoon and ended up on the Fork Road in a ditch. Sheriff Eric Clark said they brought Dove back into custody later that evening without incident at his mother’s home on Road 2412 near Dixon. He is charged with felony escape, three counts of credit card fraud and a hold for the Sheriff’s Department in Orange County, Texas. Clark said that they want him in Texas on possession of a con- trolled substance charge. Dove remains in the Neshoba County Detention Center on a $110,000 bond, $50,000 of which is for the escape charge and $20,000 for each fraud charge. Dove was arrested last Thurs- day, Feb. 25, his birthday. Clark said law enforcement’’s interaction with Dove began that morning when deputies investigated a sus- picious vehicle parked on Road 339 in the Dixon community. Photo by Robbie Robertson Clark said they found Dove passed out in the driver’s seat.

But men love sin and idols. This the chief priests and elders had said to passage instructs you to take careful them (verse 23). They had been given an inventory of your thoughts of God and of unlawful command accompanied with Christ whom he sent to save. He is the threats for non-compliance: “you are not only way of salvation. God does not make to speak in the name of Jesus (verse 18).” idle threats. Neither does he fail to keep his The church responds by proclaiming promises. You must choose between sin the sovereignty of God over creation and and the Lord. Our lives here are short and providence. God is the ruler with absolute uncertain; this world is not worth losing power. He made all things; he is not the your soul. And the Lord is full of mercy to work of man’s hands, nor a god of man’s those who call on him. imaginations. In verses 27-28, the church applies We find the phrase (verse 24), “Sover- Psalm 2 to what took place when Jesus eign Lord, who made the heavens and the was unjustly put to death by Herod, Pilate, earth and the sea and everything in them,” and all the people.

He will ultimately prevail, so as his The wonder of the gospel is that men people we focus on his will and leave the who put Christ to death are offered life in temporary consequences to him. his name. Murder is an awful thing; to The church moves from God’s creative murder the holy, only begotten Son of power to his prophetic word. They quote God, all the more. There are none who can Psalm 2, which depicts the foolishness of justly say they are innocent of it. If God kings and rulers on earth being opposed to numbers our sin, not one of us can stand. the Lord’s anointed Savior and King, Remarkably, if you “kiss the Son,” whom which the church identifies as the Lord you crucified, all your sins are sponged Jesus Christ. away. Such is the grace of God. There is a lot at stake.

By SARAH KATHRYN WATKINS [email protected]

Brooke Win- stead graduated from Philadelphia B High School and furthered her edu- cation as an undergrad at Ole Miss and is now in medical school. She became a licensed pharmacist but has returned to school at UMMC. This year is her first in medical school. One of the things that drew Winstead to the medical profession is a mission trip to Peru, where she helped hand out medical supplies and spread the Gospel. Winstead hopes to go back one day on a mission trip. After school, Winstead is planning on working with dis- eases and eventually becom- ing a pediatrician. Before attending UMMC, Winstead got her pharmacy tech license during her senior year of high school and worked at Walgreens for over seven years. While she was in pharma- cy school, she went to Peru, and it changed the way she looked at medicine and help- ing others. They went to Peru for 10 days, and it was also through the pharmacy school. The group got to set up medicine tents to help the people of Peru. “We set up clinics every day, and we traveled through the mountains where they did- n't have medical care,” said Winstead Winstead attends Bethsadia Baptist Church in Philadel- phia with her husband, Tanner Winstead. Both of Winstead’s par- ents, Chris Long and Taneil Roberts, live in Philadelphia, including step-mom Amanda Long on her father’s side. Winstead grew up with her sister Shayla Long, who is 21. Winstead’s husband, Tan- ner Winstead, works with his father’s logging company in Brooke and Tanner Winstead Philadelphia, and they have one fur baby named Ace.
