You're listening to Bot and Beloved Hello, hello, hello, ladies and gents.

My name is Kirby Kelly and welcome to this week's episode of the Bot and Beloved podcast.

I'm so happy that y'all are here today.

I'm so happy that I'm here today that I was able to sit down and actually record a podcast episode.

I don't know if y'all have been keeping up with the news with everything that has just been going on in Texas.

It's been crazy.

I mean, like legitimately crazy with just the weather and pipes bursting or water not working or water being contaminated.

And the power going out and it being freezing cold and snowing and gas being...

Everyone getting gas for their cars and all the produce being gone and wrecks everywhere.

And people just literally being stuck at home, dying even.

Like, it's been crazy down here.

So to everyone who has been praying for Texas and just the south in general really.

But for my community and for just everyone down here, man, thank you for praying.

I'm very blessed and very lucky in that things haven't been all too crazy on my end.

Other than it just being cold down here, I didn't have anything really too bad.

No damage done to my home where Richard and I live.

But I know plenty of people who have really been going through the ringer with that one.

Really going through financial strain with that with sickness with that.

Just all kinds of stuff. So if you could still be praying for the people who have been going through it.

Like really having to endure through it and are still eating to get food and water and proper comfortable warm shelter.

Please keep praying for them.

And I know that I'm recording this episode a few days out from when the podcast is going live.
