We've been working our way through the book of Acts.

We're in Acts chapter 20.

I'm just going to read the entire chapter to you. Grab a couple of points along the way, and then we'll spend our time together. These are my devotional thoughts. I'm thankful that you guys sit in with me in the morning. And Partyfowl Steve is in the Rumble live chat. He's the hall monitor over there. So if you're going to troll, you better do it somewhere else because he'll put you in timeout. But anyway, I'm glad you guys are here. Oh, by the way, for the men's retreat, we finished the landing page for the registration. I will post that next week. I'll tell you when it's coming. I'm going to say, let's do

a couple of nights together. We're going to be in Mineral Wells, Texas. This will be the last weekend in August. Your meals are going to be provided. It's going to be a fantastic time. We're going to spend some time in the Word together, fellowshiping, just building relationships. I'll be there. My mentor, one of my good friends, Dudley Hall, will be there at the Tesoro Escondito Ranch. We're going to put that out Wednesday of next week.
