Prayers for the family in West Pensacola.
Please, everyone, when you head out in the morning, give yourself extra time, be patient and watchful… look out for your loved ones and your neighbors while we all find out what will be waiting for us in the sunlight.
Watch out for kids headed to bus stops…. if they have to navigate around puddles, they may be walking in paces you don’t usually see them….
