Well, God bless you.

It's great to be with you today.

podcast, our YouTube channel, on social media, and you can come visit us in person. We'd love to have you be a part of one of our services.

I'd like to talk with something funny. And I heard about this man, he was the only Protestant in a large Catholic neighborhood.

Every Friday during Lent, while his neighbors were eating cold fish, he was grilling a steak in his backyard.

They couldn't stand the temptation and decided to try to convert him to Catholicism.

He finally agreed.

A priest came over and sprinkled water on him, said you were born a Baptist, you were raised a Baptist, but now you're a Catholic.

The next year, on the first Friday of Lent, they smelled the same smell.

They rushed to his house.

He was in the backyard sprinkling water over his steak, saying you were born a cow, you were raised a cow, but now you're a fish.

All right, y'all, say it like you mean it.

This is my Bible.

I am what it says I am.

I have what it says I have.

I can do what it says I can do.

Today I will be taught the Word of God.
