When you are at war you commit great sins. What does God think about me since I've committed these sins?

Welcome to the podcast. Special guest Bernie is back. In fact, you're not even special anymore. We're just normal.

The non-special, normal guest Bernie and you were on a few weeks ago and you were you just finished or you

were just about to go on this run and then everyone was worried about you thinking you might die. And so

they were emailing like house Bernie and then people were talking to me at meet and greets like house

for life in general, but there's always a tendency to just go out too fast. And when you get into an

and just kind of find my pace and be like, okay, this is it. Set the ego aside. Set the ego aside.
