I’m so sorry, James. May his memory be a blessing.

[@kjmav10135]

I am so sorry for your loss. Of course you needed to take time. This is about you and your family. I was a minister (now retired). I got up to preach three weeks after getting back from my Mom’s funeral, opened my mouth, and nothing came out. I closed my mouth, and right there, in front of God and everybody, the tears came. My congregation was the very best of Christian community. Purses flew open, Kleenex was offered, Hugs abounded. Some of my congregation said it was the best sermon I never preached. ❤ Anyway, may your faith community love you as well.

[@JimmyBarrett-y4g]

Pastor to pastor…take a break, even a sabbatical if possible. If you only pour out, the vessel will run dry. Prayers!

[@InkquiringMinds]

Take the time you need, James. Your true fans will still be here.

[@williamhowland1031]

🙏❤ May GOD Bless you and yours brother!!

[@FriedPi-mc5yt]

Dude, we aren’t even mad that you took time. You should take more if you need it. Take care of yourself and your family. I would much rather see less content from you due to scheduling. Rather than seeing no content due to you being exhausted and overwhelmed. Things happen. I’m just glad you took time to give us a heads up. Take care dude. Don’t push yourself.

[@TheNibNerd]

May his memory be blessing.

[@wanyman]

I'm sorry for your loss. Never need to apologize. I lost my father in 2019 due to long term complications caused by Agent Orange. As an elder in my church, at least we both know where your dad really is. So grateful for the gospel. Sorry to be preachy, folks. ❤

[@janmckenzie]

From a retired pastor and fountain pen user (subscribed)... I'm sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing, for your channel, for your testimony of faith. I care for my 90-year-old mother in her home now. My father and stepmother are both in their '90s, both just coming through the end of a bout with COVID. We don't know what we will hear from day to day but we trust the loving care of our heavenly Father. My parents are Christians. Grace and peace to you in Christ for both you and your wife.

[@efeele3266]

Very sorry for your loss. Prayers and hugs for you and your family.

[@benkempermagic]

Oh James. I lost my father at the end of March this year and can relate to so much of what you said. I know you probably know more about grieving than I do, but I will say this. Just let the feelings come when they come. God bless you and your family.

[@andrewscott9610]

Sorry James for your loss!! God bless you and your family!!

[@JM-zq8rm]

You are in my prayers. In ministry, we try to comfort others even when we ourselves need to be comforted. Steadfast support of others’ faith while we are ourselves hurting is a sacred and privileged place to be, but also a trying place. A few months ago I presided and preached at my sister’s funeral Mass. I was a blathering emotional mess, and am still dealing with the grief. It takes time. Compared to life and love and death and ministry, fountain pens and videos don’t matter. Take the time you need. Do what grounds you and refreshes you. Don’t worry about us.

[@dr.d723]

I am so sorry, James, for your loss. I understand so well how grief can steal our time and energy. May the Lord give you His grace, peace and strength during this time of learning to deal with your "new normal". I will keep you in my prayers. 🙏🙏🙏

[@kellydunn7113]

Thanks for sharing, James. I will pray for you. I am a retired minister, too, so I know of which you speak. THANKS for teaching me about the world of fountain pens.

[@Fabianovieiradias]

My sincere condolences!

[@GeorgeENorkus]

Very sorry about your loss. Since I've lost both parents a while back, I understand what you are going through. Take your time "coming back".

[@teresaharris-travelbybooks5564]

I'm so sorry, James. May God be with you and your family during this time. Please take all the time you need, and good luck on your new ventures.

[@sunnycharacter]

I’m so sorry for your loss and you take all the time you need. We will be here. We have been through the loss of parents, and their care. It truly is exhausting. God has your back and will give you peace and rest.

[@lenorebreen3394]

Bless you and take care of your family and yourself.

[@jimmybritt8405]

God bless you James. Be sure to take care of you.

[@SilverSeaOT7]

We will be here. I will keep you in my prayers.

[@Rgc571]

The. Cycle of life invariably includes loss. Out of loss comes blessing because a life well live blesses forever. Congratulation to your wife on her courageous next phase. Best wishes to you and your family.

[@alfonsomanjarres9727]

Felling so sorry for your loss. You'll always have our full support, good man

[@zeus52452]

My condolences James. A few short weeks ago, my wife & I had to make a weekend trip to Florida where my youngest sister lives. We had gotten word that my brother-in-law was in the hospital. A long story short, he passed away. In his case it was somewhat of a blessing because he had lost himself due to early onset Frontotemporal dementia. He will be missed as they all are missed, but will be remembered for the life he lived. I take comfort in knowing he no longer has the concerns of the living world. As for coming back, take your time there is no need to rush. If no one else is, I will be here!!

[@suzanchiacchio-brand4377]

Prayers for your continued strength and healing as you navigate these changes, both the sad and the exciting. As some doors close, others open. May the memories of your dad sustain you. Best of luck to you and your wife as you both step into new adventures in learning! That's exciting! And you taking a break helps me stay within my pen spending limits! 😅

[@retro51fan]

Oh I’m so sorry to hear about your Dad’s passing ☹️… May your happy memories of him give you and your family some comfort at this difficult time.

[@arjpax]

I’m so sorry for your loss. God bless you and your family.

[@becca18470]

James, I am so sorry for your loss, and admire your strength when speaking about it. Both my husband and I enjoy watching your KZbin videos, take all the time that you need, we will be patiently waiting for you. Sending you love and hugs from the UK.

[@leebalmforth2269]

Im sorry James for your loss. God bless you and your family

[@archivist17]

Condolences for your loss. I understand what you are going through. I've just uprooted my family to move in as carers for my parents - my mother has dementia, but my father has recently come home from hospital after a massive heart attack, and is in terminal decline. My love to you and all your family, James.

[@ginopagnani7286]

Sorry James, family first and foremost.

[@suburbanleaves3821]

Sincere condolences to you and your family.🕊look forward to having you back.

[@javiermazza1980]

I'm very sorry for your loss James. Take all the time you need.

[@TONY19021965]

All my love, prayers, and sympathy for your loss. I lost my Dad back on 8 Oct. 2005. He made it to exactly 70 years old on the 7th, and the Lord gently and peacefully took Him home at about 01:30. Thankfully, He finally relented and got saved just 10 days prior after 23 years of my witnessing and about 17 years of watching me, my wife, and 3 kids. PRAISE THE LORD! Thank you so much for all that you do for the fountain pen community, but especially for your heartfelt witness and service to The Lord Jesus Christ. God speed brother. 😊

[@leod5609]

My condolences. May God grant you grace and peace in Christ in your grieving process. And congratulations on the masters and the seminary role!

[@themisterchristie]

Sorry for your loss, James. Our prayers to you and your family.

[@CJFoxthewhitefoxden]

I'm sorry. We all understand and take all the time you need. Plus going back to college is a lot as well. Also being a minister; that is a lot of responsibility. I'll be praying for you and look forward to any review you do.

[@bellasaward8330]

I’m so sorry. ❤❤❤ Fly high, your Papa. ❤️❤️❤️

[@barbarah-p8661]

James, my condolences for the loss of your father.

[@j.e.madrigal]

So very sorry for your loss James. May he Rest In Peace. Sending prayers to you and your family.

[@dawnholder8819]

[@javierrangel1357]

Im sorry for your loss. We are here for you. You have built a beautiful community. We are sending you power in love and faith.

[@thomaspowers5915]

My prayers are with you and your family in your loss. Take the time you need to heal and readjust to ALL the changes you and your family are going through. We'll enjoy your reviews as you're able to do, edit, and release them. Everyone's path is different, but I have some commonality, I am a minister and my Mom (last parent) passed 1-1/2 years ago. So special thoughts go your way.

[@richardzhang707]

Sorry for your loss. Look forward to your next pen review at your own convenience.

Very sorry for your loss, James. May God grant you peace and comfort and strength to get through all that you’re having to go through.

[@johnnyragadoo2414]

From a total stranger but a fellow Texan, wishes for peace and healing. I've learned in recent years the joy of having a large extended family comes with the need to bear up under loss, and it also comes with a wonderful responsibility to carry good lessons forward. The former brings immediate pain. The latter, over time, brings meaning.

[@hriveran]

i am very sorry for your loss, James. I hope the celebration of your dad’s life brings you peace.

[@inkyrick7830]

I'm so sorry to hear this, James. My condolences to you and your family, as well.
