NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - As more COVID-19 vaccines are available and more of the local economy reopens some people say they are feeling more optimistic that an end to the pandemic is in sight. But an LSU Health psychologist urges everyone to continue to take the necessary precautions against the virus.
Kathy Keller was out in City Park enjoying Friday’s great weather.
“I have to tell you, I am ridiculously exuberant. I have had both shots, I’m over 65 and it’s incredible, yes, I’m very optimistic for the future,” she said.

COVID-19 left all of us in new territory. At work. At home. In our personal lives. And certainly in marketing.
Marketers struggled finding just the right tone at the outset of the pandemic. It s still a challenge. Customers were scared for their health. They changed spending habits. Brands contemplated suspending marketing for paid products, and some did.
Let s give marketers a bit of a mulligan if their campaigns seemed a little off, tone-deaf or contrived. We all tried. Even if marketers did fall victim to the occasional buzzword use in a campaign, theyâre forgiven.
Itâs 2020. Everyone was under duress. Still, we can learn from all those buzzwords and phrases, right? Creativity remains paramount for brands to stand out, right?
Christians who marry nonbelievers have “compromised” their love for Christ in acting in “open defiance of the teaching of the apostles and of God” and thus must be removed from church membership, according to pastor and author John Piper.
In a recent blog post on his popular DesiringGod website, Piper replied to a reader who asked how the church should respond when a Christian knowingly marries an unbeliever.
The pastor first stressed the seriousness of such a situation, explaining that there are multiple “layers of sin” when a professing believer “rejects the counsel of the church elders and marries an unbeliever.”
