So good to be in the House of the Lord.

I'll never forget one Saturday afternoon when I was 16 years old.

I walked in the kitchen and my father was grilling hamburgers that Saturday afternoon.

I was like, yeah, I'm hungry, Dad.

He said, great. He said, can you run to the store for me and pick up a few little items? I just need some mustard, some pickles, just a couple little items. I said, absolutely. I mean, I was 16 years old just waiting to get behind the wheel. Any excuse to drive, and I was right there. So he went to give me his keys, and as he was giving me the keys, he said, now look, Victoria, he said, I want you to go straight

to the grocery store.

So don't open the window.

out the back door, jumped in the car, cranked it up, drove down the street to my best girlfriend's house
