So I just finished setting up the fifth wheel here in West El Reno, Oklahoma, I think is where I am.

Anyway, I'm trying to get home as quickly as I can. I have a marathon day tomorrow, way too far in one day,

quite dangerous. Hope you pray for me. I come in and had some trouble getting the internet

working and eventually got it going. And the first thing I see when I finally get things working is something about Vody Balcom.

And I'm looking at it and look, you can't believe anything you see today.

Most of what you see has been created by somebody else and isn't true.

But, of course, it didn't take too long to verify that Vody had gone to be with the Lord.

And at age 56, six and a half years older than Vody.

And almost seven.

And so I was going to possibly do a dividing line.

There's obviously, there's always things to be talking about,

ways to try to edify the brethren. But, you know, this is a situation where here's, here's a man

that I knew.

And he and I both had spoken at the G3 conferences for years and years back when they were at Praise Mill Church, that's the church.

I remember, I believe it was in 2014, at least that's what Summer says, that

Summer was there. It's my daughter. And we sat in the back in a little non-fancy room in the back

behind where, you know, any desicized church has those rooms back behind where you store

all this stuff you used for the Easter play seven years ago.

And I had a great time talking and chatting at that time.

And if I recall correctly correctly it was the year before

2013 Vody had me down to his church outside Houston to do a presentation I have a

few pictures I posted one picture on on X this afternoon from that.
