All of us have opinions about everything.

And I have discovered that the spirit of offense is on discount right now.

And you can get 12 of those demons for the price of one if you want them.

It's one of the most common thing I have seen in the last year has been that rampage of the

spirit of offense. And so I just may add to it. I don't know, I'm just going to make a couple

comments, and I'll let you just kind of sort it out. But I want to talk about we've been

closed, shut down in our corporate meetings.

We've not been closed as a ministry.

We've been, goodness gracious.

I've been as busy as any season of my life at home, especially because it's so little travel.

And which I'm thankful for them.

I'm so glad to be able to have my time at home.

But I want to make just a couple comments. These are not official comments. These are just

the opinion of Bill. We are not closed on my part because we fear a disease.

It is real and I don't want to create any disrespect towards that because I have two friends that died.

They had pre-existing conditions but but it's real.

It's real.

I have friends that have suffered horribly.

I don't, it's like a hot stove. I'm just not going to put my hand on it.

But it doesn't mean I'm not going to have a stove, if that makes sense. So we're not closed down because I don't fear that disease at all.
