Good morning everyone and welcome back to the Messy Masterpiece Podcast for Chad and Tori.

Happy Friday. Happy Friday. Happy Friday everyone. We're excited to be devoting ourselves to the Lord

with you every single day today. I don't know what day it is but it's like episode 329 I think.

I have no idea. 329 episodes. Shout out to those of you who are only listening to one or those of
