All right. Thank you. You guys are so kind. So I'm originally from San Antonio, Texas.

Yes, yeah. And so there was a couple of desires for this trip is I wanted some real barbecue nothing against North Carolina South Carolina barbecue, but I wanted some barbecue that is so good.

They don't even give you plates, they just give you paper.

And that's so I knew I was home.

So, uh, uh, pastor Robert and Debbie,

thank you so much for just your kindness.

One of the things I've observed about your pastor

is as we would talk, we would talk about local church and ministry.

He would really light up when he talked about his kids. And that meant something to me, that his

greatest joy was when he was like talking about his kids. And so I appreciate

that tremendously.

And then I want to honor my wife,

y'all were so kind, but Vicky is my best friend,

so we met when I was 18.

I know, right? And so we have a daughter that's 22, the son is 18.

I know we don't look like we're old enough, thank you very much. But she actually came to

faith about six months before I did and was just instrumental in the Lord bringing me home unto himself.

And I just appreciate her leadership, her friendship, and she's the greatest Christian example that I know and I'm not

just saying that because she used to throw the javelin in college. She did by the way she

threw the javelin in college.

So if any of y'all don't like my sermon and mess with me, you better run fast because she'll throw that javelin and harpoon you.

So, well, baby, I love you so much.
