If you can make it we'd love to have you. And let's see prophecy conference January 24 and 25th which is a Friday to Saturday this year. So it's a little it's a little easier for those of you who have jobs that maybe might be lonely. You're going to break away used to be right in the middle of the week the prophecy conference in the pastors conferences where we're right in the middle of the of the workweek. But they've kind of moved it towards the, towards the end. Probably a good one to attend. You know what I mean? I it's funny because I remember when we first joined up with Calvary Chapel when I was in my early 20s, me and Nikki were just first married. And, you know, all the old guys, you know, I mean, all the old preachers unless it's like, no way we're going another year, you know, no way. And I'd be like, Oh, boy, here goes the old people again. And the older I get, you know, I'm saying, and people think you're a wacko to, like, you know, they're going to nuke us good. I hope they send it to my house. I want out of here.

You're mist man. You're mist, you here for a moment and poof, it's gone. Instead we ought to be walking around going wherever the Lord wills wherever the Lord wills. Here's what I'm thinking, here's, here's what I'm going to try here's what I'm going to step out in. But whatever the Lord wills you know, it's you know, if you're if you're dependent on God's Will by how you react when he says no, right, when the door slams in your face, or you trip and fall on razor wire, you know what I mean?
