I'm glad that I can spend the rest of my life thanking you and so I don't feel pressure.

I mean I relieved my pressure last night by reminding myself,

I can write these guys emails done dead.

I can do that.

So I have 20 things I'm thankful for and you'll be forgiving

as love covers a multitude of sins as it has for 33 years and let us go another 10 minutes or so.

I don't have to do it all today, which would be impossible, and I'm relieved.

So let me do these 20.

I don't say the first thing is that these things that have been said are especially significant right now because they're also true of Jason,

which should give us just a great sense of continuity and hope and joy and John Hu.

I love it.

It's the best story I've heard yet.

Number one, thank you for letting Noel be Noel. and supporting her as she has supported me. There never have been any pressures or

expectations that seemed oppressive or forced. That was true from day one. and that Noel had never been a pastor's wife and did not want to be a pastor's wife and did not want to be a pastor's wife when she married me, had no plan in being a

pastor's wife and therefore when a man gets called somewhere God has to do a work

to call a woman as well and he did and you made that really easy for her for which I've always

been thankful. Number two. Thank you for several thousand worship services where I have met Christ in healing and soul satisfying ways.

I'm talking about Sunday morning services mainly. I thank many of you for

worshiping at my side. There are few things more precious to me than the camaraderie of worship.

When brothers stand beside each other and lift their voices in great truth to their common king and savior.

Remember the first time Ken I saw you do this? I never seen anybody do it before.

I said, what did anybody do it before.
