his Bible and pulling out family photos.

Gee, I haven't seen this one, a lot.

Postcards.

Oh, I need to get ahead of let us after this. It looks like a receipt from Home Depot.

It just cracks me up all the things that you have tucked into your Bible, but last time, if you joined us on the previous podcast, we were talking about hope and

we were talking about lessons from the summer that we were both learning and I was sharing something from what we've been experiencing in the

summer in terms of loss and saying goodbyes and and how Jesus just really capturing our hearts and rescuing our hearts just by reminding me,

John, no loss is permanent.

And Craig, what about you?

What's Jesus been saying to you? What would you say one of the big kind of lessons of the last couple months

yeah John like you wonderful summer in so many ways, second-grandson born and just the

the absolute joy of experiencing my little girls having babies and families and

just being with them and wonderful times with Lori, some real special times and woven

kind of into the summer. It feels like kind of lessons God just is taking me deeper and in one of them actually kind of surfaced and

one of them actually kind of surfaced and began this spring. We did a boot camp in Northern California and the

boot camp was near my father's grave site at the San Bruno National Cemetery.

You're talking about your real father?

Yeah.
