Well, God bless you.

It's a joy to come into your homes.

And if you're ever in our area,

please stop by and be a part of one of our services,

our promise you will make it feel right at home.

I like to start with something funny.

I heard about this teenager that just got his driver's license.

He asked his father about borrowing the car.

The dad said, son, I'll make a deal with you.

If you bring your grades up, read your Bible every day,

and cut your hair, I'll let you borrow it.

He came back a few weeks later asking about it again.

The dad said, son, you brought your grades up.

You've been reading your Bible, but you still haven't cut your hair.

He said, dad, I've been thinking about it.

Moses had long hair, Samsung had long hair, even Jesus had long hair.

The dad said, yes, son, and they walked everywhere they went.

Say it like you mean it.
