And the So good evening everybody. What a wonderful place. Man, I love your pastor. I love your pastor.

I love your pastor.

I love what he does.

What an encouragement he is and how he touches people.

I really believe that the Lord has given him a special assignment in our day to minister

to churches around the world and giving us this special reminder to keep things first. As he mentioned he was at

our congregation in San Antonio over the weekend and after my wife and I heard him

on Saturday night,

we all went out and had dinner and enjoyed some wonderful time

with them.

And then the next morning, when I woke up,

I wasn't preaching, well, obviously I wasn't preaching well obviously I wasn't preaching

Pastor Robert was there, but I was actually even off on Sunday and and so I woke up and I and I said Lord what can I learn from the message last night?

And my wife and I had visited after we dropped them off at the hotel about our tithing,

about our giving, and we felt at peace with it, we didn't

sense anything that needed to be changed.

But here, this was interesting.

I woke up the next morning and I have this practice.

When I get up, I get a cup of coffee and I go outside, I let my dog out,

and then I follow him, and I go outside and walk out the gate and I pick up the newspaper and I walk back in and I sit down and I start reading the newspaper and that's what I call my wake-up time. That's my time to kind of get awakened so I can and I can read my Bible and have my time with the Lord.

Sunday morning I sense the Lord saying I want those first minutes.

I want those first minutes.
