Hey everyone. For those who follow me regularly, I am still in California as I'm

recording this and it's our afternoon, the one afternoon we have here to go to the

beach, visiting family, haven't been able to see

them since before COVID and originally I'm actually from California and many of

you don't know that but so that's where I am and just having a great time seeing family,

had a great time on our vacation.

So I mean, we've just got a visiting family

and the vacation out of the way and first time since after COVID

so it's been nice to get out and looking forward to hitting the ground running

when I get back to a more controlled environment next, actually the end of this week.

And so you'll get some better quality podcast, I think,

once that happens, as far as the audio quality

and I'll have some slide shows and the content will be a little different but for now I want to just share a few thoughts with you that I've had about it was sparked from a tweet that I saw

Wren Collective the band some of you know who that is some of you don't it's a Christian

band that they play a lot of it was kind of like folk-ish it's like folk rock kind I, I don't know how you'd categorize it.

Folk rock I guess is the best I can come up with.

Music, that was their musical style. I actually saw them in concert once years ago

back when they had an album called the Campfire album and I liked

a lot of the songs on the album I really liked Wren Collective I remember at that time

and they had a song called Build Your Kingdom here.

And I remember thinking like, this is a great song.

Like I just, it had a great beat
