Where does the time go? It's me again, Mike Bro, with another episode of the way I heard it,

0:07.9

specifically number 252, which is called The Gospel of Do Goodery, according to Luke. You live

0:15.8

with that one, Chuck? I think that's a reasonable one. This is a guy who is clearly on a mission.
