We hope you enjoy the message. Howdy? Come on, man. I've always wanted to say that. I've always wanted to say that.

So great to be with. I love this place. I love this place. All my friends, when I graduated high school, all my friends went to A&M. And I wanted so desperately to go there. And this dang 10% rule, like top 10% like, yeah, kept me out. I know. That's how I feel about it too and uh and so I had to go

to a community college in Waco but I came here I still I still would drive back and forth every now

and then and would get into some trouble here but I really love this place it is a it's a privilege

truly an honor my favorite place to preach the gospel

in the world is on Tuesday nights at the porch today I was talking about. And it was easy to say,

hey, I would love to come down there. And thank you so much. And you guys, and we're not just

passing back compliments. This is not flattery. You guys are so much. And you guys, and we're not just passing back compliments. This is not flattery.

You guys are so blessed to have the incredible leader that you do in TA. And so I've watched Ben

and God moved through this place. I remember back in the day with Greg Mott, and now that he's placed

TA in a place of leadership here is really an incredible thing.

And just to watch it from afar in Dallas is a privilege.

And so I don't know how you feel about your college experience and maybe you're at this place where you're like,

hey, I won't have any regrets.

And so where I'm at, where I'm coming from, I don't know what you need to hear tonight. And so I'm just going to, if it's okay with you, I'm just going to preach to my 20-year-old self. And so I'm going to, I'm going to exeathe the scriptures to, I'm just going to pretend that like young JP, 20-year JP's out there, and I'm just going to talk to me.

And if there's anything that would benefit you, you take it, you apply it.

But man, I really messed up my life in college.

I mean, that is the truth.

And so I kind of, to paint the picture, I was addicted to pornography.
