Thank you so much for not disappearing. We are also trying to not disappear. Told my best friend yesterday actually that I feel like a ghost. You have blessed us here in Northwest Arkansas since the worldview everlasting days. Honored to be a witness and pray for you and your family. Interesting you used the word witness because I recently asked our friends to be witnesses for us too. My husband and I are going through the most difficult time of our lives, as our son and only beloved child now 24 has abandoned us and cut us out of his life, directly after getting married, and without explanation or conversation or any reason we are aware of. We were a very close beautiful happy family. Now our son's heart has been hardened against us and it's so unbelievable and confusing for us. So thank you for also being a witness. We stand in truth and love together as brothers and sisters in Christ. Jesus help us all.
God be with you and all that you do Jonathan, I will be keeping you in my prayers. If you have the faith of as small a thing as a mustard seed, you can move a mountain. God's peace be with you and your family. Amen. You are a friend and not alone at any time. I believe in the power of prayer. I believe Jesus Christ has died for my sins and has risen from the dead and is my Savior. All glory be to God. Amen.
Thank you for sharing. Yes… all these writings are coming out of experience… I have sensed that. Praying for you and your family… that the crossed and frazzled wires will be connected in real tangible ways… not theoretical. That love (1corinth type and song of solomn type) will flow once again… that you all are able to delight and enjoy one another as God delights and loves you all.
I have long held that the LCMS failed when it doesn’t have built in sabbaticals for the pastors- which are just as much for their families.
And your family is not alone in this struggle. It is a pandemic of its own. We have been navigating our own struggles and I know more than I can count on both hands. There seems to be a pattern, in the timing of life when this struggle comes to a head… I am still working on watching and observing… so maybe my pattern matching is off.
Thank you for sharing, Rev Fisk. Many of us are deeply concerned about you and your family, and praying for you. As you know, I have been through a similar trial in the past. Put your trust in Jesus Christ, and rest in Him! I know you are. He will bring you all through this like Job, and it’s exciting to wonder what He will bring about. It’s all His timing, though…patience.

Praying hard that God restores what is broken brother.
