“There’s no such thing as too much catfish… only too few friends to feed.”

That quote came from one of the volunteers, and it was especially true this week.

We had the honor of serving TightLine Catfish to our friends at Church Under the Bridge, and it was one of those mornings that remind you why our TightLine ministry exists in the first place. Our Family showed up. Friends showed up. Folks grabbed NEW monogrammed aprons provided by my friend Bill, stirred pots, carried trays, and jumped in wherever hands were needed.

And then the line started forming...

Before we knew it, we’d served close to 150 plates, that's 150 stories, 150 smiles, 150 reminders that a simple TightLine catfish meal can do more than fill a stomach. It can lift a spirit. It can slow someone’s day down just long enough for them to feel seen. It can turn a huge parking lot under I35 and 4th Str in Waco, Texas, into a place of fellowship.

We came to serve, but, as always, we left blessed.

Because that’s the TightLine way:
Feed people. Love people. Show up.
And trust that God will take a plate of catfish and turn it into something bigger than food.

Special Thanks to: John, Donna, Liz, Kyle, Megan, Bill, Sherly, Cindy, Wilder, LitWilder, Kamron, Canden, JJ, Elaine (great beans!), and of course - Co-Captain Rick and daBoss - Leni!
