And after breakfast I said, I'll get the tab, and I picked it up, and I meant to sign my room number on the tab.

But often someone will ask me to inscribe a Bible, and when I inscribe a Bible Bible I just inscribed the Bible many times,

oh, I'm sorry. That's not the room I'm staying in, but

that's a verse from the Bible. But come to think of it, it's a wonderful room to live in.

And here's what it says. I want you to see what it says right here. Romans 8 and verse 28.
