COT: The interval between the crucifixion and the resurrection reflects a pattern that shows up in every life. There are seasons when direction disappears, hope feels distant, and progress seems suspended. That space is not empty—it is formative. What carries a person through it is connection: to others, to truth, and to something larger than the immediate moment. Just as the resurrection did not emerge in isolation but within a community that stayed, watched, and believed, people move through their own darkness by remaining connected rather than withdrawing. Isolation deepens the darkness; connection creates the conditions for renewal.
Great morning, men! I’m grateful for the connections in F3. You’re all making me a better man! Happy Easter!
