Turn to Psalm 14 if you don't mind and I'm going to be beginning a new series called

How do I Know and let me tell you a little something though that happened to me this last week because you might be a guest and if you're a guest

I'm glad you're I'm extremely glad you're here. Thank you for coming. But this might be the first time you've ever seen me.

And so I just want to kind of take a moment like if we met somewhere and say hi to you and you know hope my

jacket is okay you know Debbie picked it out it's a little wild, I know. But the reason is because this last week something happened to me and it rattled me a little

bit.

You know, I go places and because the church is so large and because of television, people, you know, recognize me.

And so I'm kind of used to that look or comments comments you know a while back this lady came up to me and whispered she

said do you know who you are? are. I thought about joking with her and say, no, I've been waiting all my life for someone

to tell me.

So but I didn't.

And then one time I was checking out and this lady was doing this and she looked up and she said oh

She said you're you're you're uh you're uh and I said Robert Moore. She said no. So this last week I had a reaction and it was she didn't know me at all or had seen me or recognized me but it was she didn't know me at all or had seen me recognize me but it was different because I'm kind of used to the other, you know?

But I went to check in for a medical procedure in place I've never been and this woman looked up and she said oh my

like that and I thought well you know she recognizes me she comes to church or something you know

and so before I tell you what she said,

let me give you context.

Do you remember the Barbie doll?

Remember the doll named Barbie?

Okay.

So I said to her, she said, oh my, like that when she looked to me.

And I said, is there a problem?
