Whoa, I didn’t know Tony’s Giants beat the Dodgers last night 3-1.



Just when I was letting go of my denial and feeling pissed off at him for leaving us so late and taking 2 great coaches with him, Tony reels me back in with a Vitello win and media ramble. 😂

Well... and now, ordinarily I'd be really happy for Tony getting a series win against the best team in baseball, buuuut....

They won again last night to go up 2-0 in the series 👀 @knoxvol52

Seriously though, I want and I think we need TV to be successful with SF. The more successful he is there the less of a chance he ends up coaching at one of our rival schools

Hang the Banner in APRIL, bring this topic back up when it matters most in September and October. I hate the damn Giants and ever who plays or coaches for those bums.


Btw: I hate the Giants more than @TN-POSSUM hates Alabama..

Scripture — Book of Habakkuk 3:17–18 (NIV)
Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior

Reflection
There’s a kind of honesty in this passage that feels almost uncomfortable. Nothing is softened. The fig tree doesn’t bud. The vines are empty. The fields fail. It’s not a temporary inconvenience—it’s a full picture of loss, of provision drying up in every direction that normally sustains life.
And yet, the turn is not denial.

“I will rejoice.”
Not because things improved. Not because a solution appeared. But because the foundation underneath everything else remained.
This is a different kind of faith than the one we often reach for. It isn’t tied to outcomes lining up or momentum returning. It’s quieter, more durable. It says: even if the visible structures collapse, my relationship with God has not.

There’s a subtle strength in that. It removes the need to constantly measure whether things are “working” before trusting. It steadies you in seasons where results lag, where effort feels unanswered, where clarity hasn’t arrived yet.


Prayer
Lord,
When things feel uncertain or stripped back, steady my heart. When effort doesn’t seem to produce fruit, keep me from tying my trust to outcomes alone.
Teach me a faith that isn’t fragile—one that doesn’t rise and fall with circumstances, but rests in who You are.
When I’m tempted to measure everything by what I can see, slow me down. Remind me that Your presence is not dependent on visible results, and Your faithfulness is not interrupted by quiet seasons.
Help me to rejoice—not in loss itself, but in the truth that You remain constant through it. Give me a grounded confidence that holds, even when clarity doesn’t come quickly.
Anchor me deeper than my surroundings, Lord.
Amen.
