I mean I wake up I wake up I Michael I still wake up in the morning after 56 years of

paralysis said I can't do this two bouts with pneumonia this year I I cannot do this, God, you're asking too much of me this time. Well, obviously he doesn't think he is asking too much of me. And so, okay, God, I can't do this.

I cannot.

I have no resources.

There is no strength at me.

But I can do all things through you

as you strengthen me.

So show up big time.

And so I guess I just come alongside people

and confess my own weakness because isn't that where we all should be poor and needy in front of God

and to see our afflictions or our inconvenient

difficult circumstances as the sheepdog that snaps in our heels and drives us

to the road to Calvary. Well, I can't tell you how excited I am to have Johnny Eriksonada on the program today.

Johnny, it's been ages since we've seen each other.

Oh my goodness, it has, but how good to be with you

and your listeners and followers.

What a thrill.

Yeah, well, and especially since you just got out of the

hospital out of a after a couple bouts with pneumonia. Yep earlier this year 25 days in the

hospital just recently 16 days in the hospital.

But hey, I'm sitting up and we're talking about the Lord Jesus and I'm thinking of

the 10 million quadriplegics around the world who would give their eye teeth to have this opportunity to sit up in a wheelchair and talk about the lords.
