Hi, this is Joel in Victoria. Thanks for listening to our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry.

If you enjoyed today's message, why don't you be a blessing and share it with a friend.

We appreciate you and pray for God's very best in your life.

We'll see you next time.

Well, God bless you. It's always a joy to come into your homes.

And if you're ever in our area, please stop by and be a part of one of our services.

I promise you we'll make you feel right at home.

But thanks so much for tuning in and I'd like to start with something funny.

Most of you know, my jokes are a lot of times not doctrinally correct, especially this one today, but just to make us laugh.

I heard about this lady that died and she found herself standing at the pearly gates.

St. Peter said, you can't come in unless you correctly spell a word.

She said what word? He said any word. So she spelled the word love, L-O-V-E.

Peter said, welcome to heaven. Then Peter asked her if she would take his place.

He instructed her if anybody comes just follow the same procedure.

Well, in a few minutes this lady sees her ex-husband coming up.

She said, what are you doing here? He said, I just had a heart attack. Did I really make it to heaven?

She said, not yet. You have to correctly spell a word.

He said what word? After a long pause, she said, check us Slovakia.

All right, hold up your Bible. Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. I am what it says I am.

I have what it says I have. I can do what it says I can do.

Today I will be taught the word of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert.

My heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you.
