La La, La, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, friends.

Great Kokel here and stand to reason.

And, you know, there are three words that really annoy me when Christian leaders or speakers or pastors use them.

And that is, like, excited.

How many times does a person say, we're so excited for this, and we're so excited for that.

Pretty soon you hear it so often, it kind of loses its punch, right?

And the same thing with, it's a privilege for me to serve, and it's a privilege for me to know,

and it's a privilege, this, that, and the other thing.

And pretty soon the privilege doesn't sound like a privilege anymore.

It just sounds like a trite phrase.

And of course, the last one is, it's my pleasure to introduce. And I'm not what, dissing people's

motives. I'm just saying the language that's used is used so often that it's overused, and it loses

its impact even when it's genuine.

Now, having said that, I'm going to tell you how excited I am and what a privilege and a pleasure

it is for me.

So now you know with that preamble.

I really mean it, and you're the chuckles here, from my two guests today,

we have three people in our small studio, so it's already getting steamy.

It's the beginning of the hour.

Megan Allman and her husband, Tripp, Almond, and I'm excited.

It's my privilege, and it's a pleasure to introduce them to you officially as the newest members of the Stand to Reason staff.

So there you have it.
