Hey, if you're suffering right now for one or another reason, and it happens.

Human beings.

If it hasn't happened, it will.

We go through suffering.

I've heard people ask, and I understand this. Like, well, where's God now? Why isn't he here? I'm going through all this stuff. You know what's worse than suffering with God? And that's suffering without him. Honestly, I don't know how people bear it. Thinking, I'm suffering and the world has no meaning,

and there's no justice in the end, and God doesn't set things right and promise to heal

every hurt, close every wound, wipe every tear.

I can't imagine that.

I just can't.

Just don't get it.

With all due respect to people are atheists and agnostic, I just feel for you extra because I can't. Just don't get it. With all due respect to people are atheists and agnostic, I just,

I feel for you extra because I can't imagine going through that and thinking there's no

ultimate point to this. Sarah is on the phone. Did you have a good weekend?

Good. We went to the fair. The first day of the fair here in Marysville. Sweet.

Me and my husband and kids, we just went for a walk and just really enjoyed the day.

Did you do any rides?

No, we bypassed the ride.

Sherry and I were talking about that last week or so about the rides.

Like this group of people that you don't know come in and hastily assemble something that could kill you.

Here's five bucks, let me do it. Yeah, you pay to get on it. Yeah. I'm like looking at it as an adult, like, I don't know if I trust those anymore. And I don't really know if I trust my kids. Totally. Totally. Think about all the hassle it is to put a child seat in a car. Right. I mean, it's like clickety click, click, click, click, click, click, click, turn this, pull that, do this. Then when it comes to the fair, it's like, yeah, here you go. Just taking upside down, whatever. This is hard. If you've ever had to sell a vehicle, trying to sell my truck. And so I have it. It's real nice. I'm not trying to sell it now, by the way. Don't call. Suddenly it's, what do they call it on Saturday mornings on some stations? Like a trade-io thing. Right. Swap shop. Yeah, it's not what we're doing here. No, but I had an idea for like a financing thing. Okay. I'm asking $10,500 for this truck. Mm-hmm. And I'm thinking, like, what if I set a financing thing where it's a dollar a year for 10,500 years? Well, that's affordable. I would think that would get people. Yeah, sure. Okay. So. And so, wait a minute. So you're not going to get the $10,500 up front. They're just going to give you a dollar every year for $10,500 years. Does that work for you financially? I need to sit down with it. I'm just trying to come up with creative ideas. My wife initially wasn't that excited. You're honest with you.
