real talk real talk real talk real talk who has a hangover from last night oh Oh my gosh. Not me. Not me. Not me. Not this girl. Not me. My feet hurt though. Mine don't. Mine don't.

I took my shoes off. What were you thinking? No, I did. I took my shoes off. She was just dancing. I will say though, in case you don't know what we're talking about, because that'd be nice, talking about the volunteer dinner from for foundation church last night we got things got a little wild a little bit that's

right we got some proof yeah we do have some proof but first before we get to the proof yes we're gonna get to the answered prayer yes what what was that sarah right huh sarah with no h sarah with no h sarah with no H. Sarah with no H. Yep. So it says, unlikely to hit Florida because it should dissipate in the Gulf. So. Answer prayers. Look at that.

Will we look at that? Yep. Okay. We're playing out. Na, na, na, na. Hey, hey, hey. Vanessa, goodbye. Yeah, yeah.

Vanessa. Why are you making me do it by myself? Oh man, I miss it She's working so hard over here I am That was a missed opportunity I know, oh my gosh I'm doing it all by myself She's just doing tech work

Without being a techie It's impressive Oh my word Okay, yeah Because Vanessa's in the seat Because Talia's in the Talia's got a mop and a bucket in her hand right now. Yeah, she's working hard.

And looky over here, people. Some of you don't know who this is. We have a special guest today. Special guest. I didn't even know I was going to get a special guest. I just showed up. Yeah, I just welcomed it. Pull that mic up for her.

Yeah, I was going to say. She does not have a Vanessa smoky jazz room. I do not. Thank God. Two of you in one room. I know. That'd be rough. That would be rough. You literally described my voice as that. That's what I'm saying. I said, thank God

she does not have your voice. Because I'd be having to whip out a ciggy with two of you in the room. Or just sit with one in my mouth. Yeah, yeah. Play me another song. Where's Tara? We need some candy.

Candy cigarettes. Oh my goodness. Two of you? I'm definitely going. True. Okay. Going to the bath. I was this close.

Listening to a piano. I was this close to being offended, but I'm not. Okay, good. Slightly a compliment. It's just that I'm going to be like, can you turn up my in-ear please? Because I can't hear either one of them. I know. She's got little quiet

mousy voices. She's not mousy. She's got that smoke-filled sexy, breathable voice. I might not get Tom out of the bedroom if I had that voice all the time. Seriously. I know. bedroom if I had that voice. Seriously. I know. For real. Not that one, though.

That one, though. For real. He'd be like, see ya. Oh, my gosh. It's the other one where you're talking really sweet and soft and I don't know. You just can't even help it. I can't. That's it right there. There it is.

Point the right way. That's the one right there. See, everything's opposite for me. I know, it's very confusing. And I barely can function. One of the things that we realized yesterday is, okay, so me and Heather, kudos to Heather for the volunteer dinner.

I know, She did great. Good job Heather. You kicked butt and took names. Once again all I got to do is say this is what I want. I know. It's a special talent she has.

Yeah for sure. Voila. Yep. So we're getting we're getting ready for it and the thing is is like Vanessa and some of her crew

were willing to come and help us but Heather was like this is really a dinner for them. So I was just like, I really don't want to have help, you know, making them work. And I'm like, you know what? I'm so glad because I'd rather like hoof it a little bit more so that people actually get to come and experience it and enjoy it. So I was glad she made that decision. But it was me, her, and Trish, which Trish is a part-time,

in case some people don't know it, she's a part-time employee of the church. So she's commanded to work. Voluntold. Yeah, pretty much. So Heather asked me and Vanessa, Heather asked me and Trish, like when, what way should we lay the, what's that called? The little.

Runner. Runner. Thank you. Yeah. I was going to say scarf, but that ain't it. Which way should I run the, should we run the runner so when people walk in? Well, I was like opposite of Heather. Heather's a right-handed, I'm a left-handed. And we do not speak each other's language a lot of times.

And I don't speak a lot of people's language because I'm left-handed. And all of you crapolas are right-handed. It's not easy to be a left-handed in a right-handed world. You're a very special girl. In more ways than one. So I'm like, I actually think we should do it the other

way I said but I'm left-handed so I think we should do it right-handed the way the right-handed person thinks smart because when they walk in it's going to make more sense to them so I go to Trish say which way do you think we should do it and she's like i think we should do it the way my way oh yeah then all of a sudden a little light bulb comes off over my head i go what hand do you what hand are you she goes i'm a left-handed person stick with your way heather just goes to show you how left-handed and right-handed people think heather's like i cannot believe this that's wild that's that's what she was like. That's crazy.

I know. But we think completely different. I didn't either. That's why I asked. I'm like, this makes no sense to me whatsoever. You're agreeing with me. No one agrees with me. Some may write. You use the same portion of your brain.

We think completely different. We communicate even different. You're either a left brain or a right brain. Yes. Are either of your kids left-handed? Nobody. Not even in my... When I was growing up, I'm the only one left-handed. In my own

home, I'm the only one. Nobody gets me. It's a tough world, people. I'm the odd man out. I'm the black sheep of the family. In both families, my personal and in my growing up. I'm the black sheep of the family in both families. My personal and in my growing up. I'm like, but I earned both of those. Oh my gosh. More so in my growing up. Like my siblings. I

definitely was the black sheep as the bad one. So yeah. It's amazing how you think completely different. So I was like, we're going to go with Heather's way, not our way. Because I can guarantee you. The majority of the people are ladies. And when they walk in, they're going to be like, oh, this makes sense. This feels right. It did not feel right to me.

Felt right to me, whatever you did. I thought it was pretty. I didn't notice. I thought it was really pretty. See, Heather had all the runners going front to back. Me and Trish thought they should go sideways. Interesting. See, I would have done front to back.

You're right-handed. Yes. And if you walked in and you saw all of them like this, you would have been like, well, that's weird. I'm out. I don't feel right. This doesn't feel good. Well, that's weird. I'm out. I don't feel right. This doesn't feel good. I don't like it.

My feng shui is off. Something's off. The Holy Spirit is not in this place. Yeah, definitely not. Something to be said for feng shui. True. There is. There's a reason for it.

I mean, it's demonic, but outside of that, there's something to be said for it. True. True. Leave the devil out. Listen, it's demonic, but outside of that, there's something to be said for it. True. Leave the devil out. Listen, it's probably like what do we say when the enemy does something counterfeit? It's the counterfeit. There's probably something biblical. I was literally thinking that. Thank you. It's probably

something. It's rooted in truth, but feng shui just counterfeited it. Made it demonic. 100%. Okay. I agree.ited it. Yeah, made it demonic. 100%. Okay. I agree. I concur.

Okay, good. So anyways, back to whatever I was saying, which I don't remember what it was. But we had a great time. We had a great time. Oh, I don't know what I was. I like my feet did not hurt. My feet ended up hurting because you know how when you feel like you burn the bottoms of your feet? Yeah, that's exactly it for me.

My feet hurt like that last night. But I really hurt my foot more because when we were getting ready to set everything up, I accidentally dropped something on the... Hold on, coming in. That part. Ouch. I mean, which my buckle really is killing me right now on my shoe. Yeah.

But I dropped something, so all the skin is gone. And my skin was gone last night with those shoes. And now I got blisters on my big toes from the... You guys don't need to know my problems. But I'm just telling you. Didn't you say your feet didn't hurt? I don't have those shoes on right now. I know. telling you. Didn't you say your feet didn't hurt? I know.

Take your shoes off. Oh, no. These are comfy outside of the buckle. I'm keeping, and I got band-aids on my big toes. I got band-aids on my big toes. I'm okay. I'm just saying,

like, my feet don't hurt today, but they were killing me last night. Oh. Okay. And your feet hurt today. Yeah, but like that burning sensation on like, not the heel. The ball of your toe. But the ball. Yes, okay. And your feet hurt today. Yeah, but like that burning sensation on like, not the heel. The ball of your toe.

But the ball. Yes. Yes. You guys were dancing. Have you ever? Mm-hmm, girl. We were dancing. We were kicking it up.

Sorry. Kicking up the dust. If there was dust, there wasn't. Somebody had to do the robot. Uh-huh. Oh my gosh. Do we have that? I know.

I need to find that. Somebody had to do it. Okay. Who has the robot? I think a lot of people did the robot, didn't they? No, no, no, no, no, no. Brittany. Brittany.

Brittany had the robot. Find it. Got it. But no, have you ever burned the bottoms of your feet on like, and for real, where you have blisters on the bottoms of your balls? No, no. Me, I have. Let me tell you the story.

Really fast. We should find that. Not that you care, but I'm going me tell you the story really fast way she finds that not that you care but i'm gonna tell you anyway because i got a stall father's day picture this father's day first five years of doing the church our mitsubishi montero they don't even make them anymore you guys remember those? They were at an SUV. Our Mitsubishi Montero broke down on the way home. And our road, our dirt road, just got paved with black. Was that? I don't know if it was old road stuff or whatever, but it just got repaved.

And so we had to push that Montero home very far. So Tom gets out, and he's pushing. But he can only, I mean, it's Happy Father's Day. That stinks. So I'm like, I'm going to get out. Never realized that that black road would burn the crap out of my feet. It's Father's Day. It's June.

And I felt like my feet started to hurt. By the time I got home, blisters like that big on the bottom of my feet. You can't even wear shoes. I don't know if any of you have texted or tell us if you've ever done it. Yeah, let us know in the comments. I'm just telling you, it hurts like crap. Like that pain is like no other. So last night when my feet were hurting like that,

I went, I've been here, done this. Not as, not, that didn't hurt as bad, but it hurts. Okay, do we got it? Because I can't stall for you anymore, Tracy. I got it, I got it, I got it. Okay, so this one. So listen, if you don't volunteer at the church, I will say this.

Thank you. Bruce. I'm say this. Thank you. Bruce. She's darling. Bruce, some of you guys know who I'm talking about. Bruce gave the sweetest and the nicest compliment, which, yeah, it was very, very nice. He was sitting there eating, and I went over and was talking to them. And he was like, you know, most churches, 10% or less, do 100% of the church work. He goes, look at this room, which the room was packed.

The room was seated for 200. I think Heather had it seated for 270 people. And there really wasn't a seat in the house to speak of left. And that's not all of our volunteers just those are the ones who were able to rsvp and come we have approximately 350 wow and and here's the great thing about those 350 they all don't a lot of you guys don't just do one job true you do multiple jobs. So you volunteer in multiple departments. Like what the what? Yeah. That's more than 10% of our church.

Yep. Like 35% of our church. That's amazing. It really is. It is amazing. Bruce is right. Yeah. I've been a part of most churches, and I always volunteered,

and it was usually only a few of us. So kudos to you. This volunteers dinner was actually, we always give our volunteers a gift every single year. And this year, at the beginning of the year, Heather goes, why don't we do a dinner? And I say, we're only doing a dinner if we dance. Can this be an annual thing?

Everybody wants it to be an annual thing. So I'm thinking we are. We have done these before. We've done lots of dinners and dances at this church. We haven't done them while we were in this building. And we hadn't done them previously at the other building because it just got so big.

And we had changed the rooms and the dynamics. So it made it. But we've done this since the conception of the church. Like our first five years, every Christmas, we would do a dinner and a dance. That's fun. So yeah. So this isn't new to us. But for our volunteers, instead of a gift, and I think we've done this one other time.

So for volunteers. Other time, we did it in the cafe. But so yeah, it looks like we'll probably be doing it at an annual place. But I've been forbidden to ever go back to this place ever again because the air condition only goes to 70 degrees. Oh, true. It was warm. It was warm. It was warm.

So although the air condition did work. Yes, it did. Not enough for 270 people who are dancing on the dance floor. Yeah. No bueno. We still have fun. Yeah, we did.

It didn't hold us back. It didn't stop anyone. No. It didn't. Not at all. Especially this girl. Especially this girl. There you go.

Especially this girl. Oh. Someone had to do it. Yeah. We need a full version. Wait a minute. Hold on. Hold on. Here we go. Here we go. Yeah. Somebody. Let's. We need like a full version. Wait a minute. Where's the first? Hold on.

Hold on. Here we go. Here we go. This is Brittany's. This is Brittany's. This is Brittany's. No. There's another one with her full version.

Okay. Wait. We got Jared too. Oh my gosh. He loves dancing. I got him out there real fast. Got those girls. And this is what I did the whole time. Yeah. Because I'm a genius. Yeah. him out there real fast. Got those girls. And this is what I did the whole time.

Yeah. Because I'm a genius. Yeah. Because I'm a genius. I worked all night, actually. And this one is amazing. No, you didn't want to sing. Look at these slow dancers.

Oh, oh. I see Jeff and Vanessa. Her one and done. And these girls. And this was a song. Everybody was singing along to this one. You can never go wrong with this song. No.

Those are some good looking boys right there. And there's our girls. Don't look at my arm. I'm working on it, people. I'm working on it. We have the jumpers. Oh, yeah, we have this one, too. Okay, and then this was from the beginning.

It was like kind of everybody's strong mom. This is when it began. And everybody did it. So did somebody else in a white dress. Wait for it. It's waiting. It's coming. Oh, Puerto Rico! There was no alcoholic beverages Again no alcoholic beverages were served

This is just them being them This is how they live their life That's something They one. A new one. That's something. They're about to hurt themselves. It just goes crazy. That's Norma's favorite part. And I think I'm going to finish this one.

I'm going to finish that one. Look at those people. oh look at her she would if whether on the dance floor or not she would just shake her leg she was having fun she was having the time of her life. She works hard. So that was one of my fave picks. And then our sweet girl Talia. And me and Hope. You're standing on a chair.

I'm standing on a chair. Yeah, of course. She had to stand on the chair because she's a teeny tiny little thing. And I'm not. That's true. Yeah, so that was how big it was in there. And it was really nice. You guys did a great job.

The only thing that was missing was the... I know, I know. I was going to request it, the DJ horn. I was going to figure out a way to get it on there. I wish you would have told me. I was like, hope will know, hope will know. No, like for a good, like you'll know what was up. If I requested it and you heard it. You can't.

I refused. So I only had, because first of all. Funny talks. I would have slipped him a 20. I was going to say. No, I took good care of him. He's going to listen to me. I can promise you that.

20 was not going to touch it. Not going to touch it. So here's the thing um first of all i was i was like walking a tightrope to have dancing there's a lot of people that are like i don't know yeah so uh me talia and norma we made the the music oh the playlist i was gonna say the music list but Oh, the playlist. I was going to say the music list, but we made the playlist. And I can't tell you how many times, I don't listen to secular music, but I can't tell you how many times I listened to that playlist.

I deleted and then I had to add. Then I put back. And I was like, okay, it's not that bad. But literally, I can't tell you how long I listened to those songs. Because, listen, it is still a church event. 100%. And I don't listen to secular music for a reason.

But you got to dance. And listen, people watch stuff on TV. I don't want to hear that you're going to watch stuff on TV. Don't lecture me on music. I mean, oh, my gosh. And it doesn't say anything in the Bible, but does say that it's not always the best. And I always lean that way as to what it's permissible. What is right?

What is the best? What is beneficial? Yeah. So but with that being said, because it is a tight rope to for some people respectfully so we made sure that the music wasn't bad or out of line and he only added like two or three songs but it was like Whitney Houston I want to dance with somebody oh yeah okay so I told him I'm like yeah you see my list based on my list you know what's acceptable, what's not acceptable. Don't play anything that's risky for me.

And he's like, you got it. Basically, he stuck to it. That's Vanessa's DJ. Oh, yeah, Jamal. 14 years of DJing. If you need a good DJ for a wedding or whatever, let me just tell you, Jam All Day is going to jam you up all day. Yeah, that's right.

He did great. He did great. During COVID time, he would go live on Facebook and DJ. Aw, see? See that? Yeah. And for some people, that's what they needed. Yeah, true.

But it was a great time. So if you decide you want to go to the volunteer dinner next year, listen, one time ain't going to get it for you for volunteering. decide you want to go to the volunteer dinner next year, listen, one time ain't going to get it for you for volunteering. People will start volunteering in October. Ain't going to happen.

Sorry, we got rules. You'll got to put in your hours. If you want to dance like that. That's not how we roll. You're going to have to do your time. No, but seriously, if you want to dance like that. That's not how we roll. You're going to have to do your time. Do your time. No, but seriously, if you want to join the party and have fun, listen. I mean, we play hard

and work hard. True. So, yes. And it's all about that. But we had a great time. So next year, if you didn't get to be a part of it, there's ways. Go see Heather. Go see Heather. She's our girl. She'll take good care of you. She'll get you hooked up. It was such a great time. So much fun. And now we have hardly any time left. What? Highlight of the year. One of the highlights of the year. Yeah. I've had many, but definitely. That's definitely

one of them. Well, she didn't have her prom. So this is like her prom. I never went to prom or homecoming or anything like that. So this, so was this your first time? Yes. Even my wedding. No way! Yes. Even way! Yes. Even my wedding was kind of lame. You didn't have dancing at your wedding? We had a salsa band. Yes. It's not the same.

It's not. Not even close. I'm surprised DJ, what's his name? Jamal? No. Jamal Day. Oh, did you know that Jeff was a DJ? His name was Jazzy Jeff with the wheels of steel

Oh Is that from Fresh Prince? No Jazzy Jeff Yes Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince That was With the wheels of steel

Wheels of steel is from Oh my gosh It's from like a 90s rap Yeah I think he might have like combined Wheels of steel Yeah That's a shocker

Yes Yes Yes That's what Ier. Yes, yes, yes. That's all I'm just saying. Remember. Maybe next year we'll have Jazzy Jeff. No. He won't even stay until like 8.30. He's like, okay, guys.

He's going to play. What's that song? Closing Time? He'll play Closing Time at 8.30. Jamal's coming back. I can promise you that. When you hear We Are Family, you know we're closing out. Every DJ plays We Are Family, you know we're closing out. Every DJ plays We Are Family time.

You got to go. Get out of here. It's so funny. So he'll be back. But what was I going to say? Me and I will say Christians can, what's so funny is people were just like, people even said, you know, this is crazy because there's no alcohol. And everybody's out there. There's so

many people dancing. I heard that a couple times last night. But me and Tom at our wedding, we had about, our wedding was like 350 people. It was nuts. And then our reception, it was a lot of people. It was not me. It was Tom. Tom

has a huge fear. It was not me. Trust me. I had nobody on my side. He had everybody. But that's why he hates me sometimes because all his friends became my friends and then they hated him and they loved me. No, no, seriously. He had, he was a school resource officer. Then he worked for the sheriff's office. Then he was a football coach. Then his, he grew up Then he grew up here in town. Yeah. Yeah. That makes sense.

Yeah. I said, can you start moving your people over to my side? Because back in the day, the weddings were like girls, bride and groom side. Right. Scoot some of them grooms side over on my side. I need some people. I'm looking unpopular over here. They're beginning to feel sorry for me.

Yeah. Because nobody knows me. You need some friends. I did. I'm a little sad over here. They're beginning to feel sorry for me. Yeah. Cause nobody knows me. You need some friends. I did. I was like a little sad over here. But, um, so one of the things that the, uh, the wedding coordinator said, uh, cause there was like 250 people at the reception and she was like, I have never seen this many people dance that were not drunk. I believe it. Yeah. She's like, I can't believe this.. I cannot believe you actually have people on this dance floor. Most people need that liquid courage.

True. You know who got me? And then we're going to get on to it because you guys weren't there and you don't really care. But, you know, this is Hope Hotline. I mean, well, actually, that's not good because I should be answering questions. So this is my podcast. That name

is going to screw me hard. That doesn't sound right either. I was going to let it slide. Sorry guys. That's not good. Getting wild over here. So you know who floored me? It's Deb.

No, no, no. I don't want to go out there. I think she goes out there and she's one of the best dancers out there. She was a dancer. For money. Maybe not for money. You know that song? No, but that was funny.

I'm a private dancer, dancer for money. Oh, private dancer, yes, I know that song. Like what kind of a dancer? Like ballet? I think she did like contemporary. She just grew up dancing? Yeah. Probably flag waving.

Oh my gosh. Stop it. No, she probably took tap. She probably took jazz. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ballet. She probably grew up, you know. Yeah.

I mean, let's face it. The girl looks like a ballet dancer. She does. She does. She does. Yeah. Like, if you think of somebody who does ballet, close your eyes and you're going to think

of her. True. I'm just saying. Somebody said to me last night, I will never look at this church again the same. Is that a good thing? I know, right? Well, after what Vanessa did to him?

Probably not. Yeah. Whoopsies. Let's not bring that up. Whoopsies. Janet Jackson moment. Yeah. Janet Jackson.

Vanessa decided to become a stripper for two seconds by accident. Because of Norma. I feel like that was on purpose. That's right. Norma was Justin Timberlake. Yes. Vanessa was Janet Jackson. Exactly.

It's not the first time she's flashed somebody though by accident. Oh wait a minute. No that was Sarah when she fell out of her dress. I was like what are you doing? During worship. Vanessa I think wasn't Sarah jumping around or something? During worship. And then everything fell out of her dress and she didn't know it. She had no idea.

And everything's hanging out. Right in the front row. Right in the front row. Right in the front row. God bless it. That's an eyeful for the worship team. For the record, that never happens to me. Just one eye was open.

So if you want to join us next year. That'll leave your imagination. I'm wearing a turtleneck next year. That'll leave your imagination. I'm wearing a turtleneck next year. Like a high neck. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. Hold on one second. Oh man.

I just can't believe this. It's super funny. All right. Are we ready to go? Let's do it. Okay. Listen, we're not even going to go through the shit like and share. We're done.

We got to get going. But let alone, I don't even know if you want to like and share. Yeah, I know. Because we've gone like straight down the hills. Yeah. Down the hills. I don't blame you. All right.

Some podcasts just, listen, this is nothing like when Tom was on here. Oh, yeah. True. So if you can handle Tom and that podcast, the very first one he was on, you can handle this. That's true. This is nothing. And you can get yelling and screaming tonight. This is fun and relaxed, and he will yell and scream tonight.

You can join the TLP. No, I'm talking about sodomy. Oh, yeah. No, no, no. The words. Yeah. The topics. No, but I'm just saying, ify. Oh, yeah. No, no, no. The words. Yeah. The topics.

No, but I'm just saying, if they don't like this like chit-chat, tonight you can get screamed at on the TLP. Yeah. They might not want either. There's something for everyone. There's something for everyone at Foundation Church. We aims to please.

Always. Always. Whether you realize it or not. Yeah, exactly. Flashing during worship. Especially during worship. Is that what you said? realize it or not. Yeah, exactly. Flashing during worship. Especially during worship. Is that what you said? Even flashing during worship.

Yeah. Uh huh. Mm hmm. I think Sarah's like last night, Sarah goes, I think it was Sarah. She's like, I think I should have wore my sports bra.

Like you're in a fancy dress or you're in a dress. She came to dance. That's right. All right. Let's, let's see what, because she's, she's been in trouble before. I think that's why she to work. She came to dance. That's right. All right. Because she's been in trouble before. Exactly. I think that's why she wanted us. That was my point. Okay. Gotcha.

Thank you. But Tracy's putting together for everybody, just so you know, she's putting together a really good video of the evening. So be watching out for it. Stay tuned. And again, if you volunteer, we love you.

We thank you. We appreciate you. Stay with it because we're doing it again next year. But if you don't volunteer, sign up and be a part of it because it's a lot of fun. And we will do it again next year. Yeah, good. Okay. First question. Is there anything in the Bible that would make someone concerned with getting cremated?

Someone thought that if your body didn't go into the ground, you wouldn't get a heavenly body. I don't believe that myself, but thought it was a good question for the Hope Hotline. We answered this actually like first six months of doing the podcast, if I remember right. There is absolutely nothing in the Bible that says if you get cremated, you're not going to heaven. I know that there's people who, I know personally, people who believe that you should not be burned. Your remains should not be burned when you die, because it's like representative of hell. And that's what happens in hell. Although you never burn totally in hell.

You're just suffering with the fire. So for me, like I don't know which way I'm going to go. But my dad wanted to be buried. Not because cremation was wrong to him. He just wanted to be buried. Everybody has personal choices. Most people don't have i think people and i've talked to them they don't have personal choices of one or the other because of one looking more like hell than the other i don't think that that's a common reason i just think it's a preference sometimes it's for financial issues financial

reasons because being buried outside if you're a vet, which veterans get buried for free, especially around here because we have the national cemeteries. I don't know if your state has that, but we have national cemeteries. So you basically, you and your spouse can get buried for minimal. And so my dad is a vet. So he got buried at the national Cemetery in Sarasota. My mom does not want to be buried.

She wants to be. My mom doesn't like water. And if you live in Florida, you understand. And I hope that didn't ruin it for people who now have loved ones that are buried. Dear Lord, some mercy. I just totally might have screwed people up right right there my mom wants to be cremated we'll just go with it that way there you go yeah she wants to be cremated it doesn't matter to her I know more people who want to be cremated though they

wanted want to be buried how about you guys yeah mm-hmm yeah yeah no why do you think they want to be cremated? I know why people, same with you, they don't want to, the ones that don't want to be cremated say because Jesus didn't get cremated, like the Christians. So they say we should do what Jesus did. That's the only thing I've ever heard. Okay. But yeah, the whole like dust to dust thing, like you're going to, no matter how you go. You're going to turn into dust.

You're going to turn into it at some point. So the thing is, is cremation. I just, yeah. Just makes it happen faster. I, I have very strong feelings about the whole funeral thing. And like, I just, what do you mean by that? Yeah, that's true. I mean, one 20, I'm taking care of myself.

I don't, I think it's, I just don't like the funeral thing. I think it's weird to like, okay, I die. Now everybody has to like mourn over me and go to church and you have to stand in front of me dead. And then the casket is open. Have you heard of closure before Tracy?

But for like, but selfish Tracy, does that even give closure? Like for real, like, like don't think about it for a second. Like whatever your thoughts are like it's just a weird thing to me that you like go and put them at the front of the altar

and then I don't know I just I don't know if it's necessarily at the front of I mean it just so happens it's at the front but I think like not even religiously I just like it's just weird that you like go like you're gone they're not there I'm in heaven like I like the celebration of life thing I think that makes sense like if people need that that's fine I just always have been like there's got to be a better way but here's I would but here's what I would say for some I'm not a big closure person okay but I will say I've gone to plenty of funerals where that the wife or the husband, it's mostly been women burying their husbands. And that's the time where they look at their loved one for the last time privately or whatever. And they like kind of like, even though the hand is cold, the blood flow

is gone. It's like it's the last time to hold the hand maybe that's closure yeah maybe i don't know yeah but um they hold the hand they stroke it they they they can you know touch the cheek yeah one more time before there is no more time because believe it or not i worked in this industry i know what industry have i not worked in but I worked in the funeral industry and one of the things that for people I've been where they do the cremations and stuff like that and the the crazy thing is um like if it's a very if it's a quality organization or a company, even small mom and pops, the ones that do the cremations, a lot of times they have one location they send it off.

Like, for example, Dignity Memorial. Dignity Memorial is a corporation that owns many, many funeral homes. And what they do is if someone passes, they'll take that loved one from the funeral home or from the morgue and they take it to a place in Bradenton. Okay. And that place in Bradenton, there's a place where they have everybody kind of like in the freezers. And this is so disgusting. I mean, not disgusting. This is so morbid. But it is the way it is.

Life and death, right? They have everybody in the freezers. And what they do for the families is because if you don't have a funeral, it's pretty tough. So they'll allow the family to come and see the family member, and they have a room, and it's not like if you're in a funeral home. It's like being in a hospital. But you can see that family member one more time in case you want closure or if a family member didn't get down in time before they cremate, which a lot of people don't know that.

So also the other reason for that is so that you can verify that the person that's being put in the, which I won't go into, is the right person. And that was huge. Because that's a scary thing for people. When you told me that, cause I also thought about that. I'm like, how, like, how do they know it's the right person's ashes?

Cause I'm a conspiracy theorist. I'm like, do they even like, no, like, is this just a big joke? And they, it's a moneymaker.

But then you said that it's like very serious. If you go, as it should be. Some of these cheaper places that you can, I don't know if they offer that. Okay. That's why you have to use a very. Reputable.

Yeah. But not just reputable. One that is concerned about the family's well-being. That makes sense. Somebody who has compassion. Yeah. And that's, I know about them because I did work for them. Right.

And I know for a fact. Now, I'm not saying every salesperson that works there is actually working on the behalf and is really looking out for what's best for people. Because in those moments when people lose a loved one, they do not think rationally and they spend money that they shouldn't spend for somebody who's never even going to know it. But they just spend money because there's the loss is so deep that they want to give them the best. They don't know whether or not they're getting the best or not, but it makes that person feel bad in a very bad situation. So, um, but they are very conscious of their customer base as far as making sure that they're well taken care of

all across the board from even just sitting with they have really good people that work for them but they just they'll just sit and help you what you know you'll cry and cry and cry and cry and that person will just sit there and wait while you can work through your grieving process before you can make the decision. Instead of rushing. Most people who work in the funeral industry are very good people. Yeah, thank God. Very compassionate, very loving, very caring.

Have I seen it every single time? No. We know this because Tracy nearly got in a lockdown drag out, like beat a six-foot- two man into oblivion true undertaker right it was an undertaker yeah because he was completely yeah it was out of line during the loss of a family members um family so i've never seen you that mad ever. I was so mad. I mean, I literally have never, I thought this might get physical. I'm going to enjoy this. Get to eat the popcorn.

Where is the candy? Listen, I went basketball mode. You just start like boxing people out and you just like do what you gotta do. That is exactly what it looked like. Yeah, it felt like it. She was on the court. Oh, 100%.

I'm like, what are you going to do? What's he going to do to me? Right. No, it was, he was, yeah, he was being ugly. What's he going to do to me? Right. No, it was, he was, yeah, he,

he was being ugly. And then there was, exactly. And what are you going to do? What's he going to do? Nothing. Right. But he was so mad.

Oh, I know. And he was so mean. He was. Yeah. Yeah. He, and that was not that.

That's not normal though. I didn't think so. This felt very like, it felt very spiritual. Like that. He was like, these people are crazy and I'm gonna stop this and I was like absolutely like no we have and we had a time frame and we

weren't past that time frame and so it was it was absolutely inappropriate what he did oh yeah 100% yeah he was out of line he was but I will say previously to that experience he actually in in fairness to this individual he actually was very good to the family. But for some reason, I think it was spiritual like you said. It was. He was in our domain. And it wasn't a common situation that he's probably ever

dealt with. And then Hope did a great job going and talking to him afterwards. The salesperson in me came out. The negotiator. And that made my heart happy the negotiations i know we just needed yeah we just need a little negotiation yeah that's it's not manipulation no when i say this i don't mean to manipulate but there's something to be said with reading people yep and knowing how you need to get what you need to get

so you can go to the other side yes but you don't manipulate them through the process you just read the body language and you work with the body language right yep because we needed what we needed we did so i love negotiations about that yeah sales teachers are great things but with that being said yeah most people in this industry are very good people they're they're wonderful and they do this it's like teachers teach because they love kids and they want to pass on education to them for the most part elementary level especially you get into the junior and the senior high they what they're trying to teach them and manipulate to them is the liberal agenda but usually in elementary education you find uh people who are trying to

teach children so that they the education is very important to them as far as making sure that that child has the the best they thrive and that that they love learning okay well that is the same thing in the funeral um industry as well most people do it with great compassion, love, and care. And every now and then you get a bad seed. But what business doesn't have the bad seed? Yeah, true that. I mean, there's bad doctors. There's bad attorneys.

Bad cops. Yeah, bad cops. I mean, there's everything across the board. It's the way it is. Bad pastors. You can't make one be all. Right. You just can't because every industry has something or someone that kind of gives it a bad rap.

For sure. But 1 Corinthians 15, 35 through 58. Now listen, some of this will apply and some of it won't, but I'm not going to eliminate any of it because then you'll be like, why is she skipping all over the place? It's a long thing. But for you who wrote this question, it will help you understand. There's nothing in the word,

but this is going to show you when you die what this looks like. It doesn't matter whether you're cremated or not. In my opinion, there is not, not in my opinion, there is absolutely nothing in the word. I can confirm to you, nothing in the word that says you can't be cremated and that if you do it,

you're going to hell. There's absolutely nothing. It's a personal choice. It's what you feel like work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. Okay. But once you read these scriptures, you're going to be like, it doesn't matter. Like you're not there anymore. Your body is with the Lord. So, but someone will will say how are the dead raised up and with what body do they come foolish one what you sow and this excuse me again is in 1st Corinthians which is Paul speaking foolish one what you sow is not made alive unless it dies and what you sow you do not sow that body that shall be but mere grain perhaps wheat or some other grain but God gives it a body as When he says terrestrial bodies, he the glory of the celestial is one.

When he says terrestrial bodies, he's not talking about E.T. And he's not talking about aliens. Study it out. I don't have time for that. And the glory of the terrestrial is another, which means your heavenly body. I'll leave it at that. There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars.

For one star differs from another star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in corruption. It is raised in incorruption. It is sown in dishonor. It is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness. It is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness. It is raised in power.

It is sown a natural body. It is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body and there is a spiritual body. And so it is written, the first man, Adam, became a living being. And the last, Adam, became a life-giving spirit. So the first Adam was flesh, made from the, well, actually it's flesh, but God created Adam, correct? And then the last Adam is Jesus. A lot of people don't know that. When you hear about the last Adam, that is referring to Jesus Christ. However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural and afterward the spiritual.

The first man was of the earth, made of dust. The second man is the Lord from heaven. As was the man of dust, so also are those who are made of dust. And as is the heavenly man, so are also those who are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the man of dust, so also shall bear the image of the heavenly man. So what that is saying basically is when you entered into the world, you entered into the world just like Adam did, the first man.

But when you exit out of this earth, you're going to be like the second Adam, a heavenly being. Does that make sense, ladies? Our final victory, and that's the title of this, says, Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall

all be changed. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet, for the trumpet will sound and the dead will be raised incorruptible and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible has put on incorruption and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, death is swallowed up in victory. Oh, death, where is your sting? Oh, Hades, where is your victory?

So we will not be in hell. We'll be in heaven. So it doesn't matter if you get cremated. The sting of death is sin and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. So at the end of the day, what matters truly is what are you doing on this earth? Is it corruptible or incorruptible?

Are you going to be changed in a twinkling of the eye into a spiritual being or one that is bound for hell? It doesn't matter. Cremation, you're going to go back to dust. I mean, you came in as dust, you're going back as dust. And how you get there, I don't think really matters. Again, you can go slowly by being buried, or you can go more quickly by being cremated. Other way, you're going back to dust. So it doesn't really matter, in my opinion. Vanessa? I share the same opinion as you. Are you being cremated?

Are you being buried? Or do you not know? I'm being cremated. You are? No, why are you doing the cremation? Well, it's financially. More sound? Yeah, 100%. But also, like.

I thought you were going out on a boat with me. Oh, that too. That's plan B. What about Jeff? Where's Jeff in this picture? Jeff's gone. He's 120. Yeah.

He's gone. Yeah. Jeff's older than her. He'd be 130. That's not biblical. I know, but do you not think that wherever he is, she's going to want to be? Why is she on a boat with you? We will be in heaven.

Oh, and are you both the same age? Yeah, pretty much. 11 months apart. So she's going gonna go a little bit early a little early at 119 your daughter's already approved of this she's coming with us you're already in heaven so you're fine norma's coming we're getting on a raft we're going out to sea oh you're not going with them you're actually the one pushing them off you were done I mean you'll be like 90 at that point so yeah she'll be like yeah wait wait hold on how much older am I than you like 20 years ish you don't want to live past 90 yeah no yeah so she'll just come with me hope I'll bring her with me oh that brings me comfort see so that's planning that's planning okay so you don't need

to be cremated. But if you did. But in the event that I did, I'd have to. So you guys are just going to be in the ocean. Because it's my 120th birthday. And my only wish is that she comes with me. And Norma, she comes. In the middle of the ocean.

I'm just going to go out. I don't care. I won't be there. What do I care? You'll be in heaven. Makes me no diff. But then somebody reminded me. You'll be in heaven. Makes me no diff. But then somebody reminded me, you could be 120 in like a month. Like, so what if we live a month out there? No. I might have to rethink this. Jesus loves us too much. Okay. Okay. You get great tan. Just make sure you got

your sun in. Just make sure you have your sun in. Trust me with my gray hair. She goes nowhere without sun in. Nowhere. Okay, but anyways, for real. It's more financially sound and then you can have your ashes with you. With Emma. Emma will have your ashes. You will be ashes.

I was wondering. I know. Be on a shelf. I don't like that idea. I don't want to be on anybody's shelf. I'm like, what is she talking about? And like a nice little urn. Reincarnated. You know, be on a shelf. I don't like that idea. I don't want to be on anybody's shelf. I don't want to be either. I do. My mom wants to be thrown into the ocean.

She wants us to go on a cruise and throw her in the ocean. That sounds about right. My mom wants to be cremated. And then she wants me to take her ashes to Puerto Rico and throw her ashes at my dad. Oh my God. I'm not kidding. That's her plan. That's what I will. And Jeff said he would do it. Hey my dad. Oh my God. I'm not kidding. That's her plan. That's what I will.

And Jeff said he would do it. Hey mama. That's bitterness. Can somebody please record that? My mom wants us to cremate her and then throw her off the top of a Magnum, which is a roller coaster in Ohio. Oh, and it just like.

She said sit in the front seat and just let it go. I'm like, mom, that's disgusting. And then everybody else gets covered in you. Exactly. That's disgusting. Of their natural sitting. And they're just thinking it's like a dust storm or something like that.

No, it's my mom. Mama's all over you. Oh, my gosh. That's a little gross. This is very interesting. I mean, if you're in the back seat, that's fine. Not in the front. Unless the wind picks up in a certain way. Yeah,, if you're in the backseat, that's fine. Not in the front. Unless the wind picks up.

Yeah. What if it just like swirl? You go back through it. And this particular roller coaster is right by the water park at the amusement park. So it would just dump all over wet people. Sticking to them. Not a good idea. I don't think that's legal.

Not doing that. No, probably not. I think it's illegal. Just tell her it's illegal. I don't know what I want to do. You don't know? We got a while. You have time.

You got plenty of time. Time is on your hands. I probably would go cremation route, though. If I think about it long and hard. I'd probably do cremation. For me, it's like, I don't want to be. I mean, Tommy wants a mausoleum. Of course he does. He does. I know. I tried to get in on that. I was like, can don't want to be, I mean, Tommy wants a mausoleum. Of course he does.

He does. I know. I tried to get in on that. I was like, can I have a spot? He's like, no. I was like, darn. He's, he needs help. Yeah.

He think he's talking Tom and him into getting a mausoleum. I'm like, uh, I go wherever he, wherever Tom goes, I go. What are you talking about? He's just trying to get like the two men at the top. I don't know. I think it's going to be big enough. I think he's trying to get rid of me. I think he's afraid even in death I'll be hounding him.

I'll be bugging the crap out of him. Yes, that's what it is. Chirping. Hello. Someday he'll learn. Yeah, he will. He needs to listen to me. He does.

Mother knows best. If he just listened to to me i can make his life so good i i listen i believe that with all my heart i'm gonna happen get it together he's a wild horse he is a wild horse yeah you just need to he's a wild salient stallion i agree with you yeah He is. He is something else. You wouldn't want it any other way. I would not want it any other way. You would get so bored. Yeah. He does keep us entertained.

Yeah. I was watching Tommy and Norma out on that dance floor dancing with each other and I just thought to myself, what have I raised? I thought you were going to say something all sweet. They just,

they make me laugh. Oh, I know both of them. They were so funny. Freaking make me laugh. I will tell you this. Talia, Kristen and Norma together.

Those three. That is a wild ride right there. I know. They were on their best behavior last night, though. They were. I was very pleased about that. I was, too.

I was on the lookout. I was on the lookout, too. Natami all by himself does not need help. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Some people, holy moly,

you get them with a certain... It's not going to be... i know something one of those songs though i was like oh oh which one's that um there's a couple of them that brought me back yes wobble wobble yeah i don't even know that song but i know how to do that all you gotta do is pretend you're in water. There you go. Wobble, wobble, wobble. Okay. I just need a little hint along the way. Yeah. I can help you, girl.

The cotton-eyed Joe, like, I don't know how to do that. I know. I was trying to get her out there. I was like, just try. All you got to do is go from side to side. Yeah. I mean, you don't, like, I don't know how to do the cotton-eyed Joe, but all I got to do is side to side and kick my one foot out.

Yeah. Right. Right. And then turn. So we don't make the toe. I know. She was talking mad trash. Vanessa was talking mad trash about like getting out on the dance floor and then she didn't go.

Oh, you can't hear Norma, but she's just saying Vanessa was a lot of talk. And she just needed some time to like break out. She was like, oh. She needed to warm up. Yeah, she needed to warm up. Her pot just needed some time to break out. She was like, her crock pot needed to be warmed up. Yes, that's exactly what it was. Watching you and the girls warmed my crock pot. Right. And so she got out there. And then I got out there and

started wobbling. I need no warm up. I'm like, let's just do this. I don't care what I look like. Obviously. It's more about just having fun. like everybody has danced seriously in life i think well for the most part everybody's dance like tried to be like serious but there's no fun in that no it's more fun when you're just like who cares let's just go out there like it's so much fun not caring like who cares whether or not you look like you know

how to dance because even the ones even the ones that i will say this i mean going to the club you can learn all of the dance moves and let and every making everybody be like oh they can dance but but the ones that you have the most fun with aren't the ones that like can show off all the stuff. Yeah, it's like karaoke. It's more about. Yeah. I feel like you as a left hand. Like it just doesn't make sense to me.

I'm just like, is it this fun? Like I'm glad you guys are having fun and I like recording it. But I'm like, it's really like doing. It's stressful for you? It's not fun. Like it's just not fun. I love to just sit and talk with everybody. Well, that's because you're. That's like fun like it's just not fun like i like i would love to just sit and talk with everybody see well that's because you're that's like fun to me and jerry's like what like you didn't even

date i'm like it's not fun i literally had this conversation with jeffrey this did you he's like because i was telling him you're a party pooper and he's like that's your definition like my definition of fun is completely different right it just wasn't like i but i love watching it and like recording like that was actually really fun like it made me laugh but like going out there and just being like like that's not your thing it's it wasn't but i love that for you guys yeah well there are people that are people watchers and they just and i'm a people watcher like if i go to the mall yeah i love it but you're a dancer dancer, too. You guys have that in you. I love watching people. I'm a private dancer.

I'll dance for money. It's just a song, people. It's just a song. No, I mean, I'm like, turn the beat around. I know. I love to hear that music. I loved watching you guys. Like, watching Norma and Talia and stuff.

Because they're good, even when they're silly. Like, it's still good. And so it's, like, fun to watch. Because you know they can dance. But the ones that weren't, like, good even when they're silly. Like it's still good and so it's like fun to watch. Because you know they can dance. But the ones that weren't like good but they loved to do it. You could tell they were having fun. Like that makes me so happy.

Like I love watching people. Like me and Tommy. Me and Tommy suck. But we had so much fun. But we had so much fun. But like there's We had so much fun. Who cares?

Right. I know. I love that for you guys. I mean he can do it to the beat but neither one of us are out there like gonna. Right. No, no, no. You just want it was fun for you guys. I mean, he can do it to the beat, but neither one of us are out there like going to. Right. No, no, no.

He just wanted. It was fun for you. Well, and the thing is, is like back in the day when you're younger, you're learning all the dance moves and then you are a good dancer. Right. Right. I mean, I'm older now. I don't care about learning the dance moves and I don't care about like people thinking,

oh, she can dance. Okay. When I went to the club, I was like I was like oh yeah you're with your girls and you're all like what I mean but there's no literally I did not have I have more fun just what uh what fresh prince used to say or Will Smith used to say dumb dancing yeah like that's way more fun than but some people literally have more fun going out there and being the one that likes to show their stuff. Right.

Right. Right. Right. You'll be doing it by yourself. Cause most of us don't care about that. Yeah. Cause when I was going to the club, I wasn't trying to dance.

I was trying to find a, we all fan, a friend. I was not allowed to do that back in the day. I was on a mission. I wasn't going with my girls. Like we did, but like we all kind of like were looking for a friend. We weren't allowed to do that.

What do you mean? Like. You didn't go home with them, but you just found a friend for the night. Don't tell Jer. Yeah, we weren't allowed to do that. But I wasn't dancing for fun. Like I was like. No, it was all about going there. Right. Because that's right. like i was no it was i was on a mission going

there right because that's right because that was fun for you that wouldn't have been fun for me i would have been like i don't want to go dancing tonight if we're just going to dance i mean that's not to say like one of the best looking guys i ever met was at a club oh i believe we ended up we ended up dating a little bit but no no no no but i like normally did not do that yeah i normally nobody nobody was bothered with me they were like oh oh well because we were we were obnoxious okay nobody wants to be bothered with obnoxious yeah i know it's hard to believe but we were obnoxious i've never been to a club i was in prayer services. Do you want to go? Oh, you were in prayer services? Hope, listen.

I'd have to take her to D.C. Let's go. I lived in New York City. I never had a season of clubbing. So that's the thing that you've always wanted to do that you haven't done yet. Remember? She was supposed to come with that answer. She did it last night. You don't know a good club until you know.

I don't think I didn't. I have to bring you there. But it has to be. Oh my God. The best clubs are the ones that are mixed. Yeah, yeah. Okay.

I've gone to all whiteys. Oh, I haven't. Yeah, they're all right. What do they do? All the whiteys. They haven't even been to an all whitey club. Just the white dance?

Cotton Eye Joe is what they do. What is that? They do Cotton Eye Joe. That's what they do. Well, they do all, they do some of the same music that you get in the clubs we went to. But then there'll be Aerosmith and everything else. Oh, yeah, I know.

We want to do those. I don't want to do that. No, my clubs were mostly black clubs. Well, mine were too, but they were hip hop. And you get anybody in hip hop. I mean, any color goes to hip hop. True. It's not just one specific.

You have to go to a mixed club. Yeah, for sure. Because that's where the most fun is. And everybody, that's what drives me crazy about this. Everybody talking about racism and stuff like that. Because truly in a club, for the most most part you really realize there's no racism like everybody is just having a great time nobody cares about color and it's all about just everybody just like last night one big dance party everybody just having a great time laughing

joking around and then going home for the night right it's not like i just sometimes i just i do i think racism exists yeah i do but on the whole do i think there's is it is it as big a deal as everybody makes it to be no i think there are idiots out on both both sides of yep yeah both sides no well like conservatives are bad about promoting it. And so is the liberal side. So for me, I'm not saying that they're absolutely wrong. But if you look at all the races, there are so many different cultures. And most of the people in all those races and cultures, there are very few that are in there. They're racists.

And every culture has racism. But for the most part, there are very few people that represent that and i think like everybody's good for the most part everyone just wants to live let live and just have a great time yeah and that's what drives me crazy because i literally be like racism what are you talking about right yep i don't know anybody who's like that we're were just having a good time. So, okay, I'm two minutes over. I haven't done my sponsors. Let's do that really quick and we're going to close out.

I mean, a lot of people will go, I'm going to get that fixed. You need to get saved. That's all there is to it. I mean, a lot of people will go,

I'm going to give up everything. I won't have fun anymore. Well, last night we had a great time and no alcohol or drugs was needed. I mean, some people might have thought we were on drugs, but we weren't. I can promise you that. And so life can be just as full,

just as fulfilling and just as fun. And that's a whole lot of P's and a whole lot of full, fun, and fulfilling. No, all F's. Isn't that what I said? Fun. Phenomenal. I was thinking phenomenal. All F's.

Life can be all those things, all those F's, and you don't have to give up anything. You really don't. So today's your day. If you've either walked away from the Lord and you need to get your life right, come on back to him today. If you've never known him and you know you're missing something, today's your day as well. Say this prayer with me.

Heavenly Father, I come to you right now. I thank you for dying on the cross. I thank you for forgiving me of my sins. I ask you to forgive me of my sins. How do I want to finish this? I haven't done this in a while. I ask you to forgive me of my sins. I thank you for what you did on the cross.

And when I grow old, I will live with you forever. In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen. Sorry about that, Lord. That's serious business. That's serious business. You said that prayer, you are saved. Even though I didn't make it sound like you are, you are. You're saved right now. It's a matter of the heart. It's what you believe. Actually, a lot of people think that they have to go through all this gamut of stuff, but the word actually says, if you believe, you are saved. Should you repent? Should you confess your sins?

Yes, because it also says that as well. But more importantly, if you believe in your heart that you just said that prayer and you believe it and you know that he is the Lord of all, then he is. If he tells you to do something, then that's what you do. If he tells you don't do it, don't do it. Die to your flesh. Die's what you do. If he tells you don't do it, don't do it. Die to your flesh, die to what you want, do everything he wants, and you will live the most successful, most pleasing life you've ever thought possible. Trust me, I know, and so does the peanut gallery over there.

We're all living our best life, and it's all because of him. And we want that for you. So if you said that prayer, let us know. We want to pray with you. We want to stand in the gap with you.
