Find God outside.

Hey everybody.

Joe Simons, like diamonds.

Back again, salt strung, unchurched.

Just got done from walking outside.

And so if you are listening to this early Sunday morning,

there are many of these that I do pre-record, FYI. So this is actually on a Wednesday afternoon that I'm recording this. And there's just been a lot of things on my heart with just business

and family, kids getting back in school and Shauna, you know, particularly starting high school

and having a tough time. There's a lot of stuff. And, uh, uncle with, you know, three different types of cancer now just found out. And, you know, um, just in Daniel, my brother having some issues and now has a kind of catheter, maybe for the rest of his life and just, and it seems like a lot. If you you ever been through a time like that, we're just kind of a lot hitting you all at once. We got a just ton of a prayer request and a ton of just stuff feeling like it's falling back on me. And so a lot of time I go outside. And this afternoon, just a little while ago, I went down to my dock, which is kind of my little sanctuary.

It's a place that I go talk to God. It's quiet, especially during the week. There's not that many boats out there. And I went down, I was praying on something specific that I won't share

on this podcast, but I was praying on something very specific. And I had my eyes closed,

and I'm in the shade. and I open my eyes up.

I take about three steps out of the shade.

We have a little kind of a sundick at the end of the dock.

And I look up and no lie, bald eagle.
