It will be an interesting time for a lot of us. We are praying it goes smoothly for all of the businesses affected.

I’m sure many of you are aware of the construction closing a good portion of 9th Street beginning next month to replace old sewer lines and add additional wastewater lines. This project is estimated to take anywhere from eight months to two years, depending on which schedule they adopt (as well as the ability to stay on schedule). Not surprisingly, several of the small businesses along 9th Street are concerned about the financial impact this will have on us. The city defines access as people having a way to walk through the front door. They don’t care if customers have to navigate multiple side streets and hope to find parking that will allow them to trip along the sidewalks lining Lawrence streets. If you can reach the front door, their concern for our business is done.

Great Harvest is lucky—we have a parking lot. Will you be able to reach that parking lot? We don’t know. Will you be willing to make the trip to our store knowing you’ll have to work around the construction? We don’t know that either. Visibility has been an issue for us since we moved—we gained parking, space for a café, seating, and a larger lobby, but people tend to forget about us until they drive past, and by then it’s too late. If you’re not driving by, will you remember us?

We’ve been here thirty years, and I can tell you, most of you will not.

So all we ask is that you do not forget us. Do not forget our bakery and cafe, or the restaurants, salons, florist, antique store, liquor stores, and other small businesses who will be suffering during construction. It may take a little more effort to walk through our front doors, but we will look forward to seeing each and every one of you, now, a month from now, five months from now, and hopefully for years to come.

Focus on the Family President Jim Daly issued the following statement today about the murder of Charlie Kirk:

Like millions of Americans, we are shocked and saddened by the murder of Charlie Kirk. It is a dark day when we lose such a young man who was a bright light modeling the importance of standing unwaveringly for truth, and doing so respectfully even with those who vehemently disagreed with him.

We join with the many who are praying for Charlie’s widow Erika and their two children as they cope with the aftermath of losing their husband and father in such an unspeakably violent manner.

The investigation into this terrible tragedy is only just beginning. There will be much to reflect on when the shooter is brought to justice and the motive comes into focus. What we do know for certain at this early juncture is that Charlie Kirk was a man who lived by the courage of his Christian convictions. Emulating him in this regard is the best honor we can pay to his memory and his legacy.
