Greetings, welcome to the dividing line from Little Rock Arkansas.

This evening on my way back across the United States from Tolahoma and I'm going to admit a mistake today I spent six and a half hours on the road that's too long I know I know you guys with CDLs and

they're professional truckers that drive longer okay I'm not a professional trucker and yeah that was that was that was a little bit long today I was trying as you may recall to get all the way back to Salt Lake City I wanted very much to be at the debate that my son-in-law Eric Yeager is doing with Zach Lautnischlager

in Salt Lake City on Friday the 24th on who is in the new covenant really wanted to be there but I knew that weather would be against me getting back across the U.S.

But you know you never know strange things happen you could have beautiful weather for a week and I could make it.

I realize now that you know there were a couple days that were going to be like two hours longer than today that's just that that's not going to not safe for me to do that and I need to remind myself of that maybe rich can remind me of that when looking at the plans that I put together for these trips but I had already called and not I had called that I wasn't going to happen because I was looking at the weather.

And aside from a road that I guess Rich has been on that I haven't a two lane road that sort of goes the back way into Salt Lake City they're calling for seven inches of snow between the day before and the day of.

But the real kicker was I saw that they're calling for more than 40 mile per hour winds in eastern New Mexico when I would be going into that area.

And so when I called the cancel my reservation the guy said well that was yesterday.

And now they're calling for 70 mile prior winds and Rich just told me they're talking 50 mile prior winds and Phoenix.

So yeah we we will be this was where I was supposed to be tonight one way or the other but I'll be heading south tomorrow to dodge as much of this storm as I can and the wind which is not a lot of fun.

Because when you think about even with a 40 mile prior wind if I'm doing 60 miles per hour into a 40 mile prior wind that's a 100 mile per hour wind force on the unit.

And I've got a little secret for everybody not all roads are perfectly straight.

So so all you got to do is turn and all of a sudden you're getting 80 miles per hour hitting your sideways and it's not just you it's everybody else on the road too.

So yeah I'm not interested in playing bumper cars with the semi tractor trailers with 40 to 70 mile per hour winds that's that's not that's not fun that's not really enjoyable or safe.

So on the on the bright side I'm definitely going to miss seeing the debate.

I think it's going to be very useful. I think it's going to be very respectful.

I, I'll just state right up front publicly. I love Zach Zach Lauterschlaugher is a great guy. I love the he's a member.

At brother Wallace's OPC church there in magna for each there a million times.

You know, but we're we're reform Baptist and our Presbyterians and so we're going to have this conversation.

And so Zach's a great guy.

And I just couldn't be prouder of my son along. He's done so much more reading on confidence theologian I have that it's not funny so.
