Hello, thank you so much for joining me today for Give Him 15.

Back around 2000, Cece told me,

one day you're going to write a book titled The Pleasure of His Company,

teaching people how to connect with God at a deeper level. I wrote the book in

2014. It is easily my best book. A couple of years back, I did several posts from the book. They garnered our

best response from you by far. So, for the next few days, I'm doing a few more posts from the book.

Then, as usual, we will pray. I'm confident you'll be enriched.

The title of today's is The Seeker. Elevators are convenient and sometimes awkward.

Who, in their right mind, likes being in an elevator with people they don't know?

The longer the ride, the louder the silence.

A few months ago, I was trapped in the back of one of those torture chambers in the airport

of one of the vacation capitals of the world, Orlando, Florida.

There were only about a hundred people on this elevator who hasn't heard of Disney World

Epcot and other hot spots there.

Based on the lines at these tourist attractions, every person in the world has been there.

Consequently, the airport is crowded and hectic.

When the elevator stopped at my floor and the door opened, no one moved.

After a couple of seconds, thinking no one else was getting off at this level, I spoke up rather

urgently from the back. Excuse me, I need to get off here. You'd have thought I asked for

everyone's phone number. Backs stiffened, eyes glared, and the man closest to the door turned,

and, in a most condescending tone, scolded me.

Be patient, he snarled. I'm just trying to be a gentleman and let the ladies off first.
