We are live now on the Conversations That Matter Podcast. I'm your host John Harris. It is a Sunday afternoon. Sorry, Saturday afternoon. I'm thinking about Sunday because that's what we're going to be talking about.

Eclipse that's what we're going to be talking about, the eclipse that's happening tomorrow.

But it is a Saturday afternoon and hopefully many of you are out there who will be listening

to this who are not listening now live because you've got stuff to do you've got a life and it's Saturday and I hope you're having a wonderful time

Whatever it is you're doing or catching up on and I mean that's what I do most of the time on the weekend is catch up on stuff and tomorrow though of course is the Lord's day and I have the privilege of delivering a message tomorrow and it's actually going to be at the church my wife grew up at so looking

forward to doing that and anyway I've smoked a lot of meat this week that's

another another development for those who are

concerned about the personal life of John Harris. I'm to the point I mean I could

always go for smoked meat but I'm to the point now where I'm like I'm pretty good

like I had my brisket I had my ribs I have

my pork and I think I've smoked like four times in the last two weeks so anyway

God is good God is good and I want to talk about this eclipse, like I said. Before we do just a few items of business I want to get to just real quick, I need to remind people because I forget to do this that I do have some speaking

engagements coming up in Boise, Idaho, April 27th through April 28th. I'm

going to be at the Stand Firm conference and you go on my, you can go to John Harris Podcast.com

and you can find the links for this stuff if you want to register.

But that's coming up soon.

And then St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin, May 4th through 5th for the B-Not Conformed Conference.

And of course, St. Croix Falls might sound like that's a small town because it is, but it's actually an hour outside the Twin Cities area so it's not far and and then of course

I've added some new things so I actually have more that I'm going to be adding in the fall but

September the Fund conference camp of the woods that's actually a mens retreat you can

actually sign up for that now and we have all kinds of options for rooming whether you want to save a little money and bunk with people you could even come and bunk with strangers.

I have people every year who come and they don't know the people they're going to be monking with and they get to know them and they make good friends and so that's
