Hi, this is Joel in Victoria.

Thanks for listening to our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry.

If you enjoyed today's message, why don't you be a blessing and share it with a friend.

We appreciate you and pray for God's very best in your life.

So God bless you.

It is always a joy to come into your homes.

We love you and we pray that you're going to have a blessed, prosperous year.

If you're ever in the Houston area, I hope you'll stop by.

Be a part of one of our services.

I promise you will make you feel right at home.

But thanks for tuning in today.

I like to get started with something funny each week and I heard about this man that was

very stingy with his money.

Just before his death, he made his wife promise that she would have him buried with the $50,000

he had saved.

The wife reluctantly agreed.

At the funeral just before they closed the casket, the wife put in a small wooden box.

Her friend said, surely you didn't just put the money in there, did you?

The wife said, of course I did.

I'm a Christian.

I promised him I would do it.

I can't lie.
