Hey, it's great to have all of you with us today. All of our live churches, our open network

churches, our church online family. I want to congratulate everybody who was baptized

last week, every single one of you transformed by the grace of Jesus. And if you were here

last week, it was hard to describe, but we asked people to go bold in public and declare

going to be living with us. This girl came in and I guess I must have been a little romantic with Amy.

Maybe a little kiss, maybe a little huggy-huggy. I'm not sure what it was, but she said, oh my gosh,

pastor Craig really loves Amy. My daughter Anna just kind of scoffed with a big smile and she said,

believe me when I tell you, once you've lived here for about 30 seconds, you're going to get used

to it because daddy is always love and mommy. That was the introduction to this new girl living in

our house. Daddy is always love and mommy that raises the question I want to pose to you today and
