If you have your Bible, Luke 15 is where we're going to be today and then next week as well.

Let me begin with a touching story. A couple celebrating their wedding anniversary.

I think they were close to 50 years married as I remember the story being told, the details,

and they were at a very nice restaurant. In fact, they booked and got a table at what

became and at one point was the number one rated reviewed Michelin star endorsed

criticized restaurant in the entire world if you can believe it. A restaurant that was called

and is called Eleven Madison Park in New York City. At the time was owned by the same

restaurant group that owns Shake Shack and actually at one time Eleven Madison owned Shake Shack

as well and since then Shake Shack became its own nine billion pound gorilla. It was just a

seasonal hot dog cart experiment for the summertime and it did so well. It actually surpassed

all the restaurants in the restaurant group and of course it is what it is. But Eleven Madison

Park was this fine dining experience and this rest this couple was excited to honor the occasion

of being married so long by getting a table at this restaurant and so they were all excited

and they get seated and the captain comes over to figure out whether they want still water

or sparkling water or because they're in New York City how many of you know just the tap water

will do because that's some tasty water. Some people think it's why the bagels are so good in

New York City because the tap water just tastes fantastic and so they go through all that then the

Mayter D comes by and brings up the wine pairings and all the things are going to be happening through

the course of this meal that is going to probably cost one arm and one leg at the end of it and

at that point when wine was brought up that one of the two of the man stood up because oh my gosh

the champagne the champagne the Mayter D is like okay what's happening here we're having a

senior moment or something the champagne he goes you go sir sir what happens when you put champagne
