Heavenly Father, would Jesus bless this time together that we have, Lord, in this place that you have given us, Lord, what a blessing it is that we can come here and learn your word, Lord.

We just pray for the teaching, Lord. Would you bless the teaching, Lord, and prepare our hearts and our minds that we may receive what it is that you have for us because what you have for us is good Lord it's great it's

awesome Lord so thank you for this time Lord we ask this in the mighty name of Jesus we pray amen

amen and amen good morning welcome you can be seated want to welcome those of you joining us online

we're so glad that you are.

I want to introduce you to somebody. This is my childhood friend, brother in Christ,

known him since kindergarten. After graduation, we both came to Christ and then served at Calvary Chapel

Spokane together for many years and here we are all these years later and he's

here visiting and I wanted to share him with you, you with him.

I want to show you a photo, a couple of photos.

Maybe I won't.

I would only ask two things.

First, be nice.

And second, don't look at the hair.

Now I want to draw your attention to the snowmobile.

That's me and Wolfie.

That is not a hat.

Okay, that's my hair.

And while we're at it, I mean, you had hair too.

So that's kindergarten photo.

Look at that.

Wow, weren't we cute?
