Today I feel really honored to be here on this very special day. It's Palm Sunday.

And, you know, it's Palm Sunday. It's the beginning of Holy Week. And I'm so honored by the Lord

awakened. There is a true, there's true crisis right now, chaos, war, everything on the earth

is causing us to pull away from him.

And I'm just like, God, keep me. Keep me so tethered in you. I want to keep looking at you. I

want to keep seeing you rightly. And so I just want to pray for us this morning. And even as the day

begins, that we would take it off, that we would take it off, that we would

leave it all, and we would open up our Bibles, and that the truth would be revealed to us,
