Well, my wife, Catherine, has an identical twin sister whose name is Sarah.

And so several years ago, I was serving as a student ministry pastor in a town, a city down the road that I won't mention that because we just don't have time for that.

Okay, it was Austin. I was a student ministry pastor and Austin, just get it out of your

system now. But what I did is I asked Catherine and sister to dress alike and to come to church

because I wanted to play a game with the high school students that I was leading. And so I asked

Catherine and Sarah to get up on the stage and they each stood in an opposite corner of the stage.

And then I got three high school students to be contestants, because that's what you do when you're a youth pastor.

You play games like, which one is my wife?

That's the game that I wanted to play with these three high school students.

And so what I told him is I said I'm

gonna do three different things with Catherine in her twin sister and you at the end are

gonna have to decide which one is actually my wife and so I started and I looked at

Catherine and I said what's your name and she said Catherine Attique and then I

looked at Sarah and I said what's your name she said Catherine Attique and they And then I looked at Sarah and I said, what's your name? She said, Catherine Ateak. And they sounded identical. I mean, they were, they sounded just alike. So I moved on to the second step and I said high school students, there are times where I will say to Catherine, hey there, Catherine. And her response will be, hey there, mister. And so I looked at my wife and I said, hey there, Catherine. And she said, hey there, Mr. And I looked at Sarah. And I said, hey there, Catherine. She said, hey there, Mr. And they sounded so alike. So for the third step, I looked at Catherine, and I said, I love you, Catherine. She said, I love you too. I love you too. And then I looked at Sarah and I was like, I love you, Catherine. She was like, I love you too. And it got weird there. I'll just be honest. It was a little weird in that moment with my sister-in-law. But something great happened. Because then I looked at the three high school students. I said, okay, which one is my wife?

And two out of the three thought that Sarah was my wife.

And I felt so proud of myself because I deceived these sweet little innocent high school students.

So it was like, hey, welcome to church.

You've been deceived.

Jesus loves you.
