Good morning, all the way from Amarillo.

It's a long way up Amarillo.

Good to be with you this morning.

This is my first time to speak here in your new sanctuary.

It is absolutely fantastic. I was here for your

dedication and I said some words there. One of the things I didn't say, the dedication

that I want to say to you guys this morning is, you know, I talked the dedication about, I was proud of God for all he's done in this church, the wonderful leadership of this church and the wonderful congregation here.

But I just want to say, what a testimony

your giving has been for this church to be paid for.

You know, you guys, I've been apart since the very beginning when it was just a prayer and a dream in

Pastor Robert's heart.

I remember speaking with Pastor Robert and Debbie over dinner and when he told me to dream in his heart about the church

and we began to talk together about all of that and then when it began in the living room

and then right up the street at this church and at the other church building and all that.

But you guys, I'll tell you, if God has brought together a special group of people and

you're giving, it's just absolutely astounds me.

Pastor Robert keeps me up on all that's going in the church.

And you know, not only has God brought together a special group of leaders,

but you guys are servants.

You guys are the most loving people, except for the people in Amarillo.

You're the most loving group of people.

And if I'm telling you, when I walk in here, I feel so loved, I really do.
