Hi, this is Joel in Victoria. Thanks for listening to our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry.

If you enjoyed today's message, why don't you be a blessing and share it with a friend.

We appreciate you and pray for God's very best in your life.

Well, God bless you. It is always a joy to come into your homes.

We love you and we're believing this is going to be your best year so far.

If you're ever in our area, stop by and see us. I promise you it will make you feel right at home.

But thanks for tuning in. Thank you again for coming out today.

I'd like to start with something funny and I heard about this husband.

He was quietly reading the newspaper when his wife walked up behind him and hit him on the head with the frying pan.

He said, what was that for? She said, that was for the piece of paper I found in your pocket with the name Mary Lou on it.

He said, all honey, that's just one of the horses that I bet on at the racetrack last week.

She apologized and went about her business. Three days later she walked up and hit him with the bigger frying pan.

When he came to, he said, what in the world was that for? She said, your horse just called.

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.

Today I will be taught the Word of God. I've boldly confessed. 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 today about living a no excuses life. It's easy to come up with a reason why we can't be our best.

I found that most people have what they think is some kind of handicap. Something that's holding them back.

It may be something about their personality or something about their looks that they don't like.

Or maybe they've been through an unfair situation, a divorce, a business partner cheated them. They got a bad break.

I've had people tell me, Joel, I'm just the wrong nationality. I come from the wrong family.
