Yes, I think that describes our church.
To put it in football terms, since the football season is about to crank up:
Our team would be judged as average in practice and the first three quarters. (Not bad. Not superb. Average.) But when the game is on the line and we need a touchdown to win… or ever 17 points to win late in the game. We’ve have the kind of team that pulls off the victory. It always makes for an exciting finish.
Interestingly… we’re also trying to be a team that has a strong finish but also shows signs of brilliance in practice and the first quarter.
Why? Because a 4th quarter comeback, while dramatic and fun, isn’t always needed. Sometimes a solid first quarter puts you in the lead and makes victories easy. And easy isn’t always bad.
p.s. That said… for both the Peach Festival and the next MainStreet… it’s the start of the 4th quarter. And we’ve got some cool plays left to call.
