Tim is grieving. The Jags lost, and we are all choosing to respect the process. Andrew is still faithfully preaching through the Gospel of John, now 20 weeks in and only 10 chapters down. At this rate, we’ll finish sometime around the second coming, but no one is rushing perfection.

Frank, on the other hand, had a big week. Cross and Crown hosted an official event and over 400 people showed up, which is either incredibly encouraging or deeply terrifying, depending on the moment. Lakeview is in full vision-casting mode, talking future, direction, and what’s next.

Meanwhile, Safety Harbor is trying very hard to be a good neighbor… even when there’s a zydeco band playing right outside during the service. Nothing tests pastoral focus like an unexpected accordion solo in the middle of prayer.

Ministry is happening, the Gospel is still being preached, and the neighbors are definitely having more fun than we are.
