It's true, I have discovered my wife finds it very attractive when I'm willing to do what it takes to provide security for her, my family, vulnerable people around us.

She just really likes it, and I wrote about that, and that's why this is always kind of on my mind.

This just happened, a dad was driving with his kids, and a guy got out of a van, like pulled up with a van, got out forced the dad, car jacked it, and took off with the kids.

So the dad, his name is Derek, jumped in the band in van, but this guy had just left, and took off after the car, chased him,

and eventually was able to spin him out, by hitting the back of the car, forced him out of the car, then the guy took off and he rescued his kids.

But I love this quote from Derek, and his wife, his wife's name, Deanna, talking about this.

I see her kill lights leaving.

I'm jumping in this van, and I'm going after my kids, raced and caught up to him.

As soon as he turned sideways a little bit to get past the parked vehicle, I just hit the back of my truck and pushed him into this alleyway, trying to pick him up against his fence.

This is not surprised at all. I was like, yep, this one was like my husband.

I like that last quote.

Oh, that sounds like my husband.

No, I'm not surprised. I know he'll show up.

When I think about Christmas, I have to remember this. You probably have to remember this too.

They did not see this coming.

Talked about all the people at the time that Jesus was born. They didn't see it coming.

In retrospect, oh, I think you can look at all the scriptures and go, oh, right.

Yeah.

Well, they didn't. It blindsided them.

And then to think, wait, the kingdom of God, when it comes, this is going to work.
