Thank you again for coming out.

I like to start with something funny.

And I heard about this senior citizen.

He was driving down the

freeway in his brand new corvette with the top down going 80 miles an hour when he saw

flashing lights from a state trooper behind him without thinking about it he floored it took off to

a hundred miles an hour the trooper flipped on his sirens. The men came to his senses

and pulled over. He said, officer, I am so sorry. I don't know what I was thinking. The state

trooper said, listen, sir, it's Friday, 4 o'clock. My shift is over in 30 minutes. If you'll tell

me a reason why you were speeding that I've never heard before, then I'll let you go.

The man thought about it and said, officer, years ago, my wife ran off with a state trooper,

and I thought you were bringing her back.

The officer said, have a great weekend.

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. Today I will be taught the word of God.

I boldly confess, my mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name. God bless you. I want to talk to you
