Today's topic that has everyone in an uproar is the Virginia Pastor who had a 14 year old girl come in front of a congregation and apologize for getting pregnant. Who is wrong in the situation??? Is the pastor wrong for having this young lady apologize? Is the mother wrong for allowing this to happen? Or is the young lady brave for coming forth and confessing her sins? #soundoff and let us know your thoughts. #virginiachurch #truevineapostolicchurch #teenpregnancy #shame
Looks like yesterday's storm is causing major delays at the airport. If you plan on catching a flight out of Atlanta today and Sunday, make sure you get there 3 to 4 hours early. 🛬 #1380WAOK #news

Storm preparation is resulting in a number of people making their way to grocery stores to make sure they have the essentials for their families.
Remember to PREPARE, but don’t PANIC! Also, if you plan on heading to the stores, get what you need, but don’t hoard goods from others. #1380waok‼️
