Yes.
I don’t claim to understand why, or how, but I know he makes all things work together for our good. It’s early, but we have no reports of injuries or fatalities. If that holds true, I’m going to put that in the miracle category. 🙏🏻✝️

This just breaks my heart. Dick was family, just not through blood. He was 1,000x the man I could hope to be & we are just in shock. He is a huge part of the reason we moved to Mississippi. Please pray for his family who have been through so much over the last couple of months.

The data is clear: the spread is exponential. Data is not partisan, and neither is this virus. It will kill democrats and republicans alike.
My job is to save lives & there's a 100% likelihood that I'll save more lives by promoting

Perspective is everything, so lend me yours. John is 60 feet away, it’s loud in the studio, so he can’t hear, and you need his help/insight. There is a tornado on the ground AND you’re pissing off every sports fan in the market. You’ve been in TV... what should I have done??

Mississippi has the 10th highest COVID-19 infection rate per million of ANY COUNTRY in the world now, and 7 of the top 10 are US States.
Come on people. This do/don’t wear a mask thing is silly. They are annoying, but every other wealthy country has figured it out.

We were blessed that most in NEMS did not sustain damage, even though we were in another “high risk.“ It was much worse for many in Alabama, including this legend.
Blessings come in different shapes, and

Send Alabamians prayers tonight. 🙏🏻
Had a scare today. As I often say, tornadoes happen to real people, at a real place, at a real time.

FYI— Rules for driving on ice:
1) don’t drive on ice
2) if you encounter ice, just let off the gas, Do not hit the brake.
3) if you need to slow down, use the gearshift lever and work from higher numbers toward lower numbers
4) don’t drive on ice

Hey,
@AppleSupport
... I just updated to iOS 12.1.4 overnight. My cell data is spotty at best and my WiFi is either not working or throttled to 1mbps. I am a meteorologist and use my phone for life-saving coverage during severe weather. Or usually I do. Could we get this fixed?

Our teachers and their families deserve better. They didn’t have a choice to “remote teach” if they wanted to keep their jobs. We all make mistakes, and this is an opportunity to talk to our children about the importance of wearing masks and social distancing.

Yall... this is getting much worse, in a hurry.
It's simple:
WEAR A MASK,
EVERY TIME
YOU GO INTO A PUBLIC PLACE.
You are not more important than anyone else, and your decision to wear a mask could (will) save lives.
