| 0:16.8 | One of God's greatest joys is to see his children love each other. Isn't that amazing? |
| 0:24.8 | The God of heaven, the God that created the stars, the God who made us, the God who sent God the |
| 0:30.7 | sun to die in our place, one of his greatest, greatest joys is when we love one another. |
| 0:39.6 | And, you know, I know as a parent, I mean, isn't that true for those of you that are parents? I had twin boys. And Trice and I have sons that |
| 0:46.4 | are twins and Eric and Jason and they're five minutes apart. I mean, for the first 18 years of their |
| 0:51.9 | life, I mean, at times they dressed the same. They had, you know, the same classes, the same room, the same everything. I could, did they fight? I mean, I mean, I mean, fought. I mean, to the point of, I mean, physical. And I'll never forget the time. We came home from a little getaway a couple days and, well, how'd everything go? Oh, things were great. Things were great.
