Sounds great. We can firm things up closer to May. Do you know the name of your friends restaurant? Since we moved to the Boro we rarely get over in that area but you never know and it has been a long time since I have eaten catfish (loved it but over did it and got burnt out on it).

Peace, may we all find it.
If it's too late to go to your ex Pastor first and ask him "why" or to late to go to someone in the church/denominational structure who is his authority and ask them your question, then the next scriptural thing to do is pray for this man in love since he has offended you and for yourself to forgive like Christ forgave.

LOL!! Ironic that the only fish / seafood I like is the unhealthy kind. Catfish, shrimp, crabcakes. Of course I only like catfish fried and boneless!!!!

About ten years ago I just Overdoesed on Catfish and have not had a desire for it since. I try every few years but it just doesn't hit the spot like it used to.

Just an off the wall question - - since you said you were the CFO - - I'm assumming you took care of the finances of the church.

Who took over that role after you were dismissed?

The ONLY fish Eddie will eat is fried catfish or Long John Silver's. I think he misread the memo on fish being healthy for your heart.

You must mean if the man repents and asks for forgiveness. That's how Jesus forgives, right? (I'll let the rest of it slide -- the baptizing and tongue talking. Probably doesn't apply in a case like this, between two humans.)
