You've probably seen people that are really good artists, they can grab a hunk of junk,

like literally out of a dumpster that makes something awesome out of it.

Yeah.

Got a friend like that who makes furniture, out of just like thrown away wood and stuff.

Hmm.

It's really cool.

But when he sees it, you see trash.

I see trash.

Yeah.

He's got a vision for it.

But I was thinking about that with our regrets.

You know, this is stuff we try to throw away that we did.

Well, maybe it's awful stuff we've done in the past.

And I think God's like a real artist with that recycling stuff.

Mm-hmm.

Things that have happened to me that I would never want to live through.

Same thing with Sherry.

Maybe some other people you know.

Like, we've been through some stuff and done some stuff.

Be horrible, but God has this master artist way of taking even our regrets.
