devotional. Well, hey, guys, welcome to our daily drive. If we haven't met, my name is Carlos,

and I get to be a part of the pastoral team here at Lake Point. And we get to hang out this

week for a few minutes every day as we dive together into the Word of God. And let me start here to set us up for

world. This was, this was my case at the time. And the gift was for me as a five to 10 year old

drum roll please, the Nintendo 64.
