Let me read you some advice from children just in case you're ever wondering about

some things that happen in your life here's some do's and don't from from

children. Number one never trust a dog to watch your food.

Patrick, age 10 writes that.

Never tell your mom her diet is not working.

Probably pretty good advice.

Never hold a dust buster and a cat at the same time.

You cannot hide a piece of broccoli and a glass of milk. That's good advice. I never try to

baptize a cat though some of you may try. I've tried before. It's not a pretty

thing. I was going to introduce, there's my wife, Lexa, most of you get to see the pastors because we're up in front of people so much, but you don't see so much our families, and I want to introduce my wife.

This is Lexa, my wife, and you stand up right quick, and Bethany, our four-year-old. And we've got our fourth

And we've got our fourth that is on the way around Labor Day sometime. So we're doing our part for church growth.

And we're excited about that.

Have you been blessed by Pastor Robert's series?

Isn't that been good? It's been so good to be reminded again in such an

acute way from God's word that God really does have a purpose for your life.

And it's bigger than you think it is.

And I've been so stirred over the last three months or so,

as Pastor Robert preached, about what God is doing in my own life and what

God is doing in your life.

And I want to remind you that it really is, God's plans for you are bigger than you think.

That's exciting news.
