God bless you today and enjoy the message. Well, God bless you. It's always our joy to come into your homes.

We love you and we know God has great things in store for each one of you. If's always our joy to come into your homes. We love you, and we know God has great things

in store for each one of you. If you're ever in our area, I hope you'll stop by and be a part of

Lakewood. I say it often, but these are the finest people in all of Houston right here at

Lakewood. So come on out whenever you can. I like to start with something funny.

I heard about this hillbilly family that had never left their small town, never watched television, never listened to the radio.

One day they decided to take a vacation to New York City.

The first day the father took his son to see a famous skyscraper.

They were so impressed.

They were especially intrigued by the elevator. They didn't know what it was. They saw this very old woman walk up and punched the button. All of a sudden the walls opened up. She stepped

into this small room and the walls closed back up. They sat there contemplating

what they had just seen. About that time, the walls opened back up and out stepped a beautiful

24-year-old woman. Almost in disbelief, the son said, Dad, what just happened? The dad said, I don't

know, son, but go get your mother.

All right, hold up your Bible.

Say it like you mean it.

This is my Bible.

I am what it says I am.

I have what it says I have.

I can do what it says I can do.
