My family could use your prayers. My husband’s grandmother, age 91, tested positive for COVID. Then she lost power for about a day during this terrible Texas snowstorm. She is being treated in the hospital for pneumonia and COVID. Please send an army of positivity her way.

A lot of restaurant owners are taking a stand in Texas by continuing to require masks. Why this matters: 🗣 They're choosing to make business harder on themselves — by requiring masks when they don't have to — bc they say it's the right thing to do.
