I had no idea this morning we were going to hear a testimony like that.

And so you just sit there and you go,

what am I, what do you say?

What do you, this is, this is, uh,

none of us have experienced anything like that.

I don't even know how to process it.

You just, you never, you ever go somewhere as a missionary and you get there and you're just so humbled

is you thought you were going to teach them something and then you look at their

lives and you feel go I don't even know how to talk right now I don't even know how to talk right now.

I've done that I've been in Africa, I've been in India where I just go, I don't know what to say I really don't I

honestly I'm not trying to be humble I'm just I'm just floored right now and you

look at your life and for some reason people lift you up for different

things then you see something so authentic so real so clearly of the Lord and you just go man I just want to soak that in for a second and so it's

it's forgive me if I'm a little out of sorts right now and I was already

messed up.

No, because I woke up this morning early

because I just sense the Lord wanted me to go a different direction and there were some things that he wanted me to say today.

I believe the Lord, I mean this could be him I could be just because of some conversations I had

with some of you yesterday that got me thinking but I believe the Lord wanted me to start off this morning with some

confession of sin publicly and so I'm just going to go with it and see how it goes.

And I believe it ties in perfectly with the passage in John Chapter 15.

And it is motive. I talked to a couple of friends of mine that I hadn't seen in like 25 years. We went to seminary together.
