| 2:19.8 | by his word. So we have 29 of them and this is the last session and we're going to finish up. |
| 2:26.2 | And I hope you've been with me on all of the lessons. If you haven't, you can go back to |
| 2:29.6 | tribute one, two and three and listen to the other lessons that dad taught me. Again, his actions, |
