Yo Gateway I am so excited to be here like this is so cool listen Jimmy and Tim Ross and Pastor Robert and

all of these different pastors you've seen they've done a great job at

bringing you a phenomenal message in a sanctuary that's empty.

So I was like, shoo, I know I do comedy, I got this too, man, let's go.

So I was like, yeah, let's do it.

So let me start out by telling you about me.

Well, when I was a kid I used to struggle my reading a lot.

I used to struggle my reading.

But my uncle would try to make me feel better.

He would say things to me like,

don't worry about it, Michael Jr.

We math people. I was like oh okay

he said you probably could be a math genius like me you got at least a 40 40 chance Yeah, that didn't work at all. This is more like it.

Nice and clothes. Who needs all of those empty chairs?

So, instead, what I'm deciding to do is just sit here with you and share some things with you.

Some stories that I have that I think is going to help you understand this

overall message that I feel like has been put on my heart to share with you.

And if you receive this message in the way I'm hoping that you will I think it can

make some substantial changes in a good way. If not maybe it it'll be remotely entertaining. And the reason it could be entertaining. Notice I say it could be, is because I actually have some new jokes. Let me see if I got them right here. I got some new jokes that I've been working on. I got them on these cards. I don't know if these are funny or not. Gotta be real with you because haven't been on stage. There's a virus out. I don't know if you're familiar with that or not, but it's out there, so be

be careful. And then also what else we got cooking? Oh, we have a small group curriculum that I created.

It's a small group course.

It's called Funny How Life Works.
