The Spartan Blog

Welcome to the Fall of 2024! As I reflect on these past four years, it’s hard to believe I’ve been blessed to serve at Calvary Christian School for this long. This year marks my 40th in Christian education, and I can say that my current role at Calvary is a dream come true. Through the highs and lows, I’ve witnessed God’s hand at work, guiding this school through challenges, victories, and growth beyond what we could have imagined.

 A School with a Rich History
Calvary Christian School has seen its fair share of ups and downs. Starting in 1979 as a small ministry of the church, the school often faced questions about its survival. Could it continue with limited resources and support? Would the church be able to sustain it? Despite these uncertainties, Calvary pushed forward, and by 2012, we took a major step by establishing our high school program, leading to our first graduation in 2016.

Looking back, it feels like a series of miracles. Just as the heroes of faith in Hebrews 11 fought for victories they would never see, the leaders of Calvary laid the foundation for the thriving institution we have today. Without their vision and perseverance, none of the incredible growth we’re experiencing now would have been possible.

Mission and Momentum
At the heart of our success is our unwavering commitment to Christian education. Under the leadership of Ryan Hyde, our Head of School, we’ve developed a program that nurtures the heart, soul, spirit, and mind of our students (Deuteronomy 6:4). Our mission extends beyond academics to include athletics, fine arts, leadership, and discipleship relationships, all centered on God’s Word. It’s a joy to see adults mentoring kids on their spiritual journeys while also excelling in academics and extracurriculars.

Still, challenges remain. Space constraints, limited resources, and a lack of a dedicated gymnasium are just a few of the obstacles we’ve faced. But when a community comes together to champion a cause, God works through His people in magnificent ways. We’ve seen this time and time again, and it’s a powerful reminder that when we align ourselves with His mission, incredible things happen.

Growth by the Numbers
The last four years have been marked by significant growth. Consider these numbers:

- Enrollment: From 230 students in 2019 to 482 in 2024, with projections reaching 655 by 2030.
- Budget: Our operating budget has grown from $800,000 in 2019 to an impressive $4 million in 2024.
- Staff Expansion: We’ve increased our team from 28 to 65 dedicated teachers and staff members.
- Assets: What started with $0 in assets has grown to more than $11 million.

These numbers tell a story of God’s provision and the dedication of our community. But the true impact of these changes goes beyond figures on a page—it’s reflected in the lives of our students.

A School Where Christ is at the Center
Every day at Calvary Christian School, we celebrate moments that matter for eternity. I’ve seen students accept Christ into their hearts and publicly declare their faith through baptism. I’ve watched teachers dive into the Word with their students, guiding them through spiritual formation. Our athletic teams, too, are living out their faith, joining hands in prayer with opposing teams after games and showing their allegiance to Christ in everything they do.

In a world that is increasingly hostile to Christian values, Calvary Christian School is standing firm. We are equipping our students to face the challenges of today’s culture with the truth of God’s Word, and we’re doing it with passion and purpose.

The Road Ahead: Phase 1 and Beyond
We’re not done yet! Since 2021, we’ve embarked on a major building project, starting with Phase 1, which saw the construction of new classrooms and administrative spaces. In January 2023, we moved into our new facility, but Phase 2—a 50,000-square-foot expansion including a gymnasium—is well underway. By December 2024, we expect to complete construction and, God willing, move the entire school to our new campus in January 2025.

This project is a monumental undertaking, and we’ve already raised over $5 million towards our $9 million goal. We still need to raise about $500,000 to fully complete the project, but I am confident that, with God’s help and the continued support of our community, we will reach this goal.

How You Can Help
As we approach the finish line, I invite you to consider joining us in this endeavor. Whether you’ve contributed before or are considering giving for the first time, your support will help make Christian education more accessible and impactful than ever before. We’re planning to honor our donors with a special recognition board in the foyer of our new gymnasium, and we’d love for your name to be part of that legacy.

Thank you to all who have supported us over the years. Your prayers, contributions, and encouragement have been invaluable. Together, we’re building something that will impact generations to come. Let’s continue to lean on God’s faithfulness and pursue His mission with passion and perseverance.

This journey has been nothing short of miraculous, and I am grateful to walk alongside so many faithful servants of Christ as we continue this mission. We’ve come a long way, but the best is yet to come. Will you join us in finishing what we’ve started? Together, we can make a lasting impact on the lives of students for eternity.

A Testament to God's Provision: $250,000 Grant Received!
In moments of reflection on this incredible journey to build our new school, we can’t help but stand in awe of God’s provision. The dream of a new facility, one that will build a biblical worldview, nurture young minds, and shape future leaders seemed daunting at the outset. Yet, here we are, having just received another miracle…a $250,000 grant—an amount that is nothing short of miraculous.

The Power of Faith and Community
When we embarked on this mission, we did so with faith in God’s plan and confidence in our community’s support. Time and again, we’ve seen how God moves through the hearts of His people, prompting generosity and a shared vision for what this school represents. Each donation, large or small, has been a testament to the power of collective faith and the willingness to invest in the future. This recent grant was the result of a senate fund that was earmarked for projects that were community based. We went through the application process last spring and followed up with several meetings both at Calvary and in the Ohio Statehouse. We are thankful to be 1 of only 5 school in Ohio that received any funding! 

A Milestone Worth Celebrating
Raising $250,000 is no small feat and we are thankful for the continual miracles that are making this new campus a reality. Our plan is to use the $250,000 to pay for items in the gym including our new gym floor and gym bleachers. But just as importantly, this achievement stands as a reminder that when we place our trust in God, He is faithful to provide!

The Finish Line is Near: $300,000 More to Go
While we rejoice in this accomplishment, our journey is not yet complete. We now turn our focus to the final phase of initial funding for the phase 2 project, raising the remaining $300,000 needed to equip the inside of the building. The kick here is we need to raise this money by the end of December! This timeline is crucial because that's when our invoices for the inside of the building items will be due.  

Stepping Out in Faith
As we look ahead, we do so with the same faith that has brought us this far. We believe that God, who has provided for us so abundantly already, will continue to move in the hearts of those who share our vision. Whether through financial contributions, prayers, or spreading the word, there are many ways to be part of this final push!

A Call to Action
We invite you to consider how you might contribute to reaching this final goal. We know this is going to be a campus that transforms the lives of students and families for decades to come. Your support will not only help us complete the physical building but will also play a vital role in shaping the lives of countless students who will walk through its doors.
Let’s continue to trust in God’s provision as we work together to see this dream fully realized. With $300,000 more to raise, we know that with God’s guidance and your support, we will cross the finish line.Thank you for being part of this journey, and for believing in the future we’re building together!
 

Anyone wishing to donate online can do so here Race to the Finish of Phase 2!

Are you ready for Giving Tuesday?

Giving Tuesday was started in 2012 and set as five days after Thanksgiving. The goal is to be about serving, helping, and giving with whatever you have left after “Black Friday” or “Cyber Monday.” Not only are many people willing to give, but most non-profit organizations are quick to advertise why you should give to them!

Calvary Christian does not want to be left out!

We are in the middle of the biggest, most historic project in all our history. You may have heard about all this before, but the short and sweet of it is that we have become independent From Calvary Baptist Church and through a series of crazy God-Stories and miracles are growing like crazy and serving record numbers of kids and families.

We are building a new school on Country Road 9, that, once complete, will handle 750 students. We have raised more than we could have ever imagined so far, but still need $1.5 million dollars in the next 17 months.  This place is going to be amazing!  Besides the 25 classrooms – a gym!!  Yes, you read that right, a gym that seats 600 wild and crazy fans (and many other uses)!

We need between 300 and 400 of you to give between $500 and $10,000 for this project.  No, not a “Rich Kid School” – just a bunch of normal everyday people who want to see the mission of Christian Education advanced forward in a culture that is so antagonistic to the absolute values and Truth of the Bible. The point is, we need a lot of you to jump in and participate in this exciting project at whatever level the Lord directs.

Find out more on our website, connect with me, find out what is going on, and how you can help.

The giving needs to be bigger, greater, than Tuesday only!

Join us as we raise this last $1.5 million to take Calvary Christian School to a whole new level!

Run the Spartan 5K!

It is a twilight run – which just means it's at night (8:00), just as the sun is coming down and it's cooler.

It's coming soon! June 23rd, Friday at the CR9 property, parking on both sides of the property, and the event starts at the shelter at McKinley Fields (formerly called Calvary Fields)

We are using the theme – Building on the Rock and a sub theme of Construction Zone because we are running right through our just beginning construction of the massive phase 2 project.

Lots of Biblical connections to keep us on task, focused, and informed. Our building is going to help us improve our quality of Christian Education, but also allow us to increase our enrollment and give more students/families the opportunity to get value by building lives around Biblical Truth and the foundations of Jesus Christ. Matt 7:24 – 26 exhorts us to build our lives on the right foundation that supports everything else we do.

The process of building takes a lot of work, and a lot of planning. There are so many factors involved and it includes perseverance to move from an idea, to a plan, to completion and then useful service. That same kind of work and planning is needed to build the education of our students. We have so many amazing stories of kids who have grown from the beginning of the year to the end, not to mention growing from early grades to graduation. So as a school our kids are “in process” or "under construction"... they are becoming something great! (and so are we!)

My wife is a math teacher, and as she relates her occupation to people she will often hear a negative reaction, “I hate math.” Well, the only thing that may get a more negative response is when I tell people they should run cross country and I hear, you guessed it… “I hate running!”

And yet God’s Word has several examples where running is the perfect illustration to help us understand that racing is like a fight (II Tim 4:17) and we must pursue the finish line even as it gets increasingly more difficult. Or how about Heb 12:1-3 where we have a cloud of witnesses rooting us on in our race and we are encouraged to throw off entanglements so we can be light and focused on our race. And then my favorite comes from I Cor 9:24, where we are told to run as to win! Paul explains that we must go into strict training and be purposeful and hardworking about the goals we want to achieve.

What a perfect combination of Truth!

Let’s put this all together and join the school family along with the community, and actually run, allowing the metaphors to live in our experience. To also realize that we are growing, our kids are growing, we want to see our school grow. We must face a culture that needs a vibrant, biblically integrated school that is bent on proclaiming truth and seeing students grow and learn, while being prepared and trained as productive, problem solving, valuable members of our society.

To move this construction project along, whether it is in our education and personal development or the actual building of the building, we need perseverance. We need the Body of Christ. We need the tenaciousness of the runner.

Let’s celebrate this process at the Spartan 5K on Friday, June 23rd. Sign up today!

At the start of the 2022-2023 school year, I stepped into a new job at a Christian School. Specifically, I became the Chaplain at Calvary Christian School in Bellefontaine, Ohio.

My job has not been limited to my duties as a chaplain. At the time of writing this, I’ve had the privilege to substitute teach at every grade level. While subbing is not always easy (my apologies to any students who have asked me math questions!), it has given me valuable insight into the world of Christian education. In light of that, I want to share why I think Christian education is a wonderful thing.

I can’t summarize the value of Christian education any better than a wise man at my church. He says, “We wanted to send our kids somewhere that would reinforce what they were learning at home and at church, not contradict it.”

Let’s hone in on those two emphasized words: reinforce and contradict.

Google searching the definition for “reinforce” provides the following definition:

strengthen or support (an object or substance), especially with additional material

And for “contradict”:

deny the truth (a statement) by asserting the opposite

Broadly speaking, a Christian school is going to strengthen and support your student with additional material. The “additional material” provided by a good Christian school is going to be biblically and theologically sound.

A public school, by contrast, has no obligation to teach biblical truth. Thus, a public school will have no issue with denying the truths of Scripture and asserting other teachings in its place. To be clear, I am not against public schools. I think there are wonderful public schools with wonderful Christian educators, and I am thankful for them. I am merely bringing up a fact of the matter at hand. Public schools cannot teach your student that God created the universe; a Christian school can. Public schools will teach your students history from a secular perspective; a Christian school can teach your student history from a biblical perspective—the list goes on.

In America, the chasm between Christianity and secularism is growing more apparent. Secular philosophies that oppose the truth of Scripture are becoming more prevalent in public schools. While Christians are not called to seclude themselves from the world, Christian parents do have an obligation to train up their children in the way they should go (Proverbs 22:6). While discipleship in the local church and in the home are the primary means for accomplishing this, Christian education can be an tremendous serve as a tremendous aid.

Most kids spend a great deal of time in school (6–7 hours a day on average; from K4–12th grade, that amounts to nearly 17,000 hours). It is worth considering how their education is shaping them. I’m thankful for Christian schools that not only help educate young minds but also aim to help students be transformed by the renewing of their minds (Romans 12:2). I’m thankful for Christian schools that come alongside families and reinforce the students’ biblical foundation that is being instilled in them at home.

If you’re a Christian parent and you’re looking for this kind of reinforcement, then perhaps Christian education is the right move for you.

Best,

Pastor Joey

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. Romans 12:2

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! What a great year it’s been at Calvary and The mission is connecting with more people than ever! (MISSION STATEMENT Calvary Christian School’s mission is to orchestrate a Christian School program that touches the heart, hand, and mind, of our students, supporting families as they raise their children by providing an excellent academic experience that is centered around God’s Word with the intention of developing and discipling believers in Christ.)

We are seeing the mission played out to greater numbers of students, impacting more families, more churches, and having a bigger presence in the community.  Excellence and service to people has a way of spreading and multiplying. What a blessing!

We had a tremendous “Building on the Rock” banquet on December 15th. It was a chance to hear testimonies from a Board Member, parent, teacher, current student, and an alum. Very inspirational to hear stories of how God has and is using the ministry of Calvary Christian School in our families lives.

Mr. Hyde and I were able to keep sharing about the evidence of God’s work in regard to land, resources, and future projects. It’s incredible to see how God has brought the school to a place of independence and an owner of land and starting a new campus. We’re so excited to move into the first building this January and cannot wait to get started on the next K-6 building. Great thanks to the many stories of how God has blessed the school and of course, so many people have participated in God’s orchestrated giving!

As Mr. Hyde shared, it seems pretty clear that to not continue down the road of increasing capacity to serve our families better in light of God’s work, would be unfaithful, and even an example of poor stewardship and trust in Him.

So now it begins! A new chapter. We’re ready to start phase 2 which is a K-6 school that’s 46,000 square feet of space. It includes 21 classrooms, a full size gym, art room, music room, cafeteria and kitchen.  There will be space for the growing intervention program and even space for our enrollment to grow. We’d hate to build something that is too little immediately after we move in and while growth is not our goal, we are working hard to ensure we can serve as many families in our community as possible. Wouldn’t it be amazing to see more believers in Logan county graduating from their K-12 education with 17,000 hours of biblical instruction!?

In this phase 2 project, we have raised in cash and promise gifts nearly $1.4 million. We estimate that this project will cost $7 million.  We believe that as you and other financial partners come together, the body of Christ will pull off this amazing undertaking so that we can get started on this building this coming spring.

As 2022 is closing, it is my last chance to ask you to reflect on God’s goodness, to consider the value of a Spartan education, and consider how you might participate with the CCS mission above.

Pray for us!  We want desperately to be on mission, serving the Lord in the valuable and growing work of Christian Education.

Connect others to us.  Let people know that the valuable asset you have found could be a value to others.  Not only in regards to educating children, but to supporting the work of the Body of Christ.  The more people in this community support us, the better we can serve this community as a “one of a kind,” best practice Christian School making Logan County an attractive place to live.

Might you yourself give?  Many already have and many more are needed.  Many have benefited from programs that give so much to us in resources and have allowed some of us to have freed up dollars that had been designated for school tuition. Please consider giving, one time, monthly, small or large, everything counts as we pull our resources together and see what great things God can do! If you’d like to make a donation to phase or sign up to make a recurring gift you can click the link below to do so.

Give to our phase 2 project here!

Consider donating to our SGO (scholarship granting organization) ! You can check our the CCS app to see explanation videos or make a donation. If you choose to donate $750 per person to our SGO in 2022 you can get it all back as soon as you do your taxes in the coming months. That means you are able to give to our CCS financial Aide program ( up to $1500 per joint filers) and get all of it back and the only cost is lag time of the money that comes back in your tax refund. I just did my gift online, you can put it on your credit card, it was very easy! Click below to donate to our SGO now, just make sure you select Calvary Christian School as the place for your funds to go to.

Give to our SGO here!

Matthew 6:21 tells us that where your treasure is there your heart will be also.  It is also interesting to note that where you give your treasure, you fall in love even more, expect more, pray more, and want to have an accountable relationship with! And that is all good as you consider the value and possible payback in Calvary Christian School!

I am looking forward to 2023!  In the midst of a lot of chaos, God is using the school to form a remnant, an army, ready to make a difference in a world that needs what we have to offer desperately! There has never been a greater time of need for the mission of Calvary Christian School!

Blessings!

In His Grip,

Dr. Dan L Bragg

I just got the call from the doctor’s nurse, “Be here at 6:15 in the morning, do not eat from evening on, dress casual, bring a walker, make sure someone is with you, and oh yes, do you have a Living Will?”

I am having a hip replacement surgery on June 14 at 6 am, actually two (another one later in the summer), if I survive!!

I stammer back, “I thought this was easy-peasy surgery, you know, walk in with pain in the morning and walk out free of pain in the evening, that is what the doctor said…right?”

Little laugh, “you never know, just make sure your will is up to date and bring it in!”

So, is it possible, maybe, I could go to sleep with anesthesia, and never wake up? Wow!!

Paul talked about being here on earth and getting work done, or dying, and the next thing you know walking with the Lord! My oldest son who is 32 years old had a wonderful near life-time friend, who stood up at his computer last month, only to fall back down to the floor dead, a heart attack. No warning, no known problem. I had a first-rate Math teacher at my last school, younger than me, fight off cancer several years ago, VICTORY! She was told last week she has a couple months to live and there is nothing they can do.

My Mom passed away when she was 54 and my sister when she was 37 both from cancer. Cindy had six children the youngest was three. We hear these stories often! At one moment everything is fine and the next thing you know, they are gone.

Interesting, that maybe I am spending my next to last day on earth getting one of our busses to pass the Ohio State Patrol bus certification. I was required to take the bus to Troy, wait around, and get through a lot of red-tap and quite the hassle. So, this is how I am spending my next to last day on earth?

Americans are great at covering up this inevitable issue – we die!

The Seniors who graduated from CCS this past month, the class of 2022, proclaimed their verse to be Ephesian 5:15 “Be careful how you live, not as unwise, but wise, making the most of every opportunity because the days are evil.” Okay – but let’s not get crazy – surely that does not mean now!?

Philippians 1:22 is the verse where Paul wonders if he is going to die and he seems to be like – if it is, then it is, no biggie…I desire to be with Christ – that is better, but if not, if I stay, then fruitful labor!

So, Mr. Hyde and I have been talking about our summer. There is so much to do! Get the Bus to pass the inspection is small compared to finding a place for near 400 kids!! We have building projects, money to raise, new employees to orient, books to buy, schedules to configure, and on the list goes!

In my mind is the mission of orchestrating a fine Christian school that touches the heart, hand, and mind of students. To support families as they raise their children and help them to provide, an excellent academic experience centered around God’s Word and developing them into disciples! Yes, disciples who figure out how to get it done and be productive, you know, “Fruitful Labor!” But who also know the bigger picture, the eternal perspective, the realization that life moves really fast, and we want to be wise because in our culture today, we are up against a lot of evil!!

I have had a good run! (In fact this 1963 hip model has approximately 60,000 miles on it before being replaced.) I have been so blessed. I am thankful for my wife, my four boys and their wonderful wives

and nine grandchildren. I so enjoy my work. And yes, I really like my truck! But who really knows? Just make sure you have that will, and many other things, in order.

Tomorrow I will be “knocked out” for surgery. If God takes me, okay. But if around mid-morning, I start waking up, see some lights, maybe a nurse, or my wife, then that means only one thing…Fruitful Labor!! Yeah man – let’s go get it done and without pain!!! We have work to do!

And so do you. Do it WISELY!! Invest in the eternal stuff and Make it Count.

Oh, how the mind wonders when you are driving a bus!

Where there is no vision, the people perish.  Proverbs 29:18

“All that is needed for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing.” Edmund Burke

I enjoy thinking about vision. I suppose some people are wired this way and others are more fearful and cynical.  So, I must be careful and realize that everyone has a different comfort level with pulling off big things or dreaming about the possibilities personally or for an organization.

But I think the Bible is loaded with the reach for big and audacious goals.  Didn’t Jesus tell his disciples that they would do greater things than he did?  Paul told us that greater was He that is in us, than he who is in the world. And of course, evangelizing and discipling the whole world is no small thing!!

The Christian School has a mission to teach and train students in a biblical worldview focusing on truth.  Here at Calvary, we talk about supporting Christian families in doing what God has called them to do.  Our goal is to do this work with excellence and give your sons and daughters every opportunity to experience a wonderful and rich educational experience so that they are set up for John 10:10 abundant life kind of success.

Who would not want that!?

There is work to be done.  Families and students want the opportunities academically, athletically, social ingredients, and other fun or stretching opportunities that seem to be around in other places in our culture, yes, even stuff in the public school.  We don’t want to shrink back from this. Many of the activities we are talking about can be done with a Biblical perspective and taught or coached by a biblically driven educator and can have great impact.

Our boys’ basketball team is having a great year.  They are athletic, disciplined, and very skilled.  But even better, they are coached by Lee Reinhard who is thinking about way more than wins and losses.  They are winning on the court, but they are also winning in terms of character and spiritual growth. They’re learning to be a team and work together.  A few weeks ago, they played Waynesfield Goshen.  I am not saying that this was Waynesfield-Goshen’s best ever team, but we played in a beautiful gym that could easily hold 1500 people.  To get there, I went through hallways lined with championship pictures and trophies, a very impressive sports history.  Our boys won the game by fifteen points, and we do not even have a gym!  But the best part, Coach Reinhard asked the coach and team if they could end the night in prayer at center court and kudos to Waynesfield-Goshen, they accepted!

I think the prayer was important!  But I also think playing well created credibility and respect.

I am thankful for the Lord’s goodness and grace to us.  We can have little resources, not even a gym, and still win!  But I do not want to stay there!!

The Christian School across the country typically educates around 2 percent of the school population.  Many schools have had a hard time staying open and meeting budget demands.  Christian schools can have a reputation for not having nice buildings or other extra perks.  If a Christian school grew at the rate of 4 or 5 percent, that would be considered a very good year. But I want to remind you that He who is in us, is greater than He who is in the world! You can find this in many places, but II Peter 1:3-11 is a good place to start.  Here you will see when you do things in a biblical way, focusing on Truth, you cannot lose.  This is a guarantee for productivity and usefulness.  How can we shrink back from a sure mission and be satisfied with a couple percentage points of growth when we are hardly making an impact on the Education world who basically thinks we are irrelevant!?  If we grew 100 percent in the next several years, that would be quite crazy and audacious, but would only move our impact to 4 percent rather than 2 percent!

At Calvary Christian School we believe that when students are properly trained and long-term results are prioritized, those students will flourish.  CCS intends to seek “greater things” (John 14:12, Romans 8:11, Ephesians 1:19), in a quest to impact culture, join forces with the Body of Christ, and have significant impact both locally and to the larger world.  This growth is not only physical and spiritual growth of our students, but true of those who work in the school, and for the CCS organization itself.  By always improving, we will attract more families to our mission (Colossians 3:17).

When people partner with our mission, we become a valuable, sustainable school that meets needs, producing cutting edge results, and become a prosperous hub of the community. The property, the buildings, and the programs behind this vision will grow to match the demand. Is our desire for growth strictly for the sake of growth? No! What we are ultimately striving for is more change in our community as more young people are trained in God’s Word.

Thinking in the tone that Edmund Burke set, “Evil triumphs when Christians do nothing,” we will spur our students into active participation in the battle of right over wrong and be an organization that is forward thinking and actually lives out the opposite of doing nothing.

So, the vision of a new gym, school property (thanks to Calvary Baptist Church), purposefully designed buildings is not a pipe dream, but a natural consequence of following a God-sized mission.  And yes, we Christians can do much with God’s help!  We can educate well.  We can play with “anybody.”  We can shoot for the moon, and achieve amazing things.  The vision requires obedience to God’s leading, a thousand details, much excellence, the right people, good momentum, and a lot of prayer. 

We are seeing God coordinate many things this year.  We are grateful for renewed interest in Christian Education.  Calvary has a great history with many wonderful people sacrificing much to get where we are. We are thankful for a movement of School Choice across the country that is more willing than ever before to put resources in our hands.  Things are looking up!  Let’s keep the vision in mind and fight for the victory that is in our sight!

You are going to want to be a part of the meetings planned for February 22nd and 24th.  I am just saying, get involved and pray fervently.  And oh yes, hold on to your hat, it’s going to be a sweet ride!
