0:27.0	And welcome to the show. Great to spend some time with you once again.
0:30.0	Hey, I was going through my office a couple days ago, and I have about five or six Bibles that are in my closet stacked up, and I brought them down and I started to look through them.
0:44.1	Some of them are 40 years old and I started to look through them and
