for the opportunity to introduce you to Sherry. 37 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,200 I think it was important because perhaps some of the stuff had to be left out from when 38 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:34,440 Randy was on, so he didn't reveal things that you weren't ready for him to reveal without 39 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:35,440 you. 40 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:36,600 So now we can hear the whole scoop. 41 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,600 I think it's a great place to start. 42 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,160 There are things we disagree upon. 43 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:42,160 A few. 44 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:43,160 A few. 45 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,640 He has his version, and I have mine. 46 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,960 But I do remember to this day seeing her for the very first time, we went to the artist's 47 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:57,500 first day, she was sitting across the room from me, and the sun came through the windows 48 00:01:57,500 --> 00:02:00,880 and her hair glowed. 49 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,960 And that was just like a vision of loveliness. 50 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:08,920 And I was like, man, that is the girl for me. 51 00:02:08,920 --> 00:02:11,080 And I wouldn't let her go. 52 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,240 She kept trying. 53 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:20,640 I started before him, and he took a quarter off to raise some more money to continue school, 54 00:02:20,640 --> 00:02:22,440 and he started in my class. 55 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,120 So that was kind of God ordained. 56 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:26,120 Yep. 57 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:30,960 Kind of not kind of, but yeah, God ordained. 58 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,040 So I thought he was a nice guy. 59 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:40,200 I didn't think anything else, but yeah, some things happened, and he got my phone number, 60 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:44,520 and he kept calling me and kept asking me out, and when are we going to go out? 61 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:45,520 When are we going to go out? 62 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:46,920 I said, we're not. 63 00:02:46,920 --> 00:02:48,080 I was living my dream. 64 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:49,640 I was going to art school. 65 00:02:49,640 --> 00:02:50,640 I was focused. 66 00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:55,720 I wasn't interested in dating. 67 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,320 And I was interested in partying. 68 00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,880 Yeah, yeah, and I wasn't. 69 00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:01,560 But Sherry didn't have time for that. 70 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:02,560 I don't know what I'm talking about. 71 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,600 So you sound like, Sherry sounds like my roommate in college. 72 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,120 She was from Tokyo, and she was goody too. 73 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,080 She'd be in the library and always studying. 74 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,680 She'd call me from the library and tell me, I'm here. 75 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,560 You know, don't worry about me. 76 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:22,600 And the one time she called, and I said, Mochi mochi, I go to Sonbaka, and she says, how 77 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,080 do you do with me? 78 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:29,520 Anyway, and I was her crazy American roommate back in the day. 79 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,640 So isn't it amazing how God changes this? 80 00:03:31,640 --> 00:03:32,640 Yes, yes it is. 81 00:03:32,640 --> 00:03:34,560 I think God would not the same. 82 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:35,560 Yes. 83 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:36,920 I was only a social drinker. 84 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,240 My problem was I was just a very, very social person. 85 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:40,240 Oh boy. 86 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,000 So I was always socially drinking. 87 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,680 And I wasn't interested in that. 88 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:53,320 I grew up in an alcoholic home, and I wasn't even going to entertain dating anyone in that 89 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:54,320 realm. 90 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,280 So I didn't really know that about him at the time, but I did learn it. 91 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,880 And I actually did agree to go out with him just to keep him going. 92 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,360 Just for a little bit. 93 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:05,360 Yeah. 94 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:06,360 That's fair. 95 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:07,360 I can see that. 96 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:08,360 And we did, and really the rest was history. 97 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:13,160 The big thing, and I think I mentioned it when I was on, is that she gave me her Bible. 98 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:17,840 So I can't go out with you, and she gave me her Bible, which I saw her reading, and I 99 00:04:17,840 --> 00:04:20,080 knew it meant something to her. 100 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,400 So that meant a lot that she would do that for me. 101 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,880 And then we talked about her offering to take me to church, and I agreed just so I could 102 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,240 be with her. 103 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,240 And then God set me up and pow, here I am. 104 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,920 The whole service was about knowing God better. 105 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:43,120 The songs, the sermon, there was a word that was given about knowing God better. 106 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,240 Yeah, that's what I shared. 107 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,600 He shot up out of the seat, and I was like, that's me. 108 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:49,600 Hey, that's me. 109 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,320 Yeah, because they called it out. 110 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:52,320 Yeah. 111 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:53,320 Because there's somebody here. 112 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,680 Somebody here who wants to know Jesus better. 113 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,840 And that's exactly what I was thinking in my head when I went there, like, I got to 114 00:04:58,840 --> 00:05:00,240 know this Jesus guy better. 115 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,560 See what this is all about. 116 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:03,960 And yeah, I knew it was me. 117 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:04,960 So there it was. 118 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,200 I was fairly young in the Lord too. 119 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,560 I mean, I was in my early 20s. 120 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,080 I got saved at 17s. 121 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:16,560 I wasn't walking the Lord that long, but I definitely knew what I wanted in a partner. 122 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,680 And it wasn't a partier. 123 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:19,680 It wasn't a partier. 124 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,180 No, absolutely not. 125 00:05:21,180 --> 00:05:24,240 But I could make her laugh. 126 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:25,240 Yeah, definitely. 127 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,040 He definitely made me laugh. 128 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:33,480 But the Lord is just so good because he took that away from him. 129 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:34,480 Did you tell that? 130 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:38,360 I did not share that part of the story at all. 131 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,400 So yeah, so I had to bring you guys back so I could hear the whole scoop. 132 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:46,920 I was saved in the beginning of May and I turned 21. 133 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:52,320 So all my drinking was from my preteen years into my early 20s. 134 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:58,000 And I would I wanted to go to the local little pub and have a drink for my 21st birthday. 135 00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,840 And when 21st birthday came, I was saved. 136 00:05:59,840 --> 00:06:03,640 Now it didn't seem like it was that big of a deal anymore. 137 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,720 So I didn't do that. 138 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:12,560 And I had I had gone through beer and whiskey and wine and I was back to just wine. 139 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,640 And back then in the 80s, wine coolers were very big. 140 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,240 So I was drinking wine coolers. 141 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,800 And it had been a few months over the summer where I didn't have much at all. 142 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:25,000 And then my parents had a wine and cheese party for New Year's. 143 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,600 So I said, oh, I'll have a glass of wine. 144 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,080 And back then there was a wine called Elmopio Moscato. 145 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:32,840 And it was a sweet white wine. 146 00:06:32,840 --> 00:06:34,200 And it would be like drinking Kool-Aid. 147 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,760 I mean, it was it was that sweet. 148 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,720 And I said, I'll have a little glass just for the fun of it. 149 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,960 And I took one sip and it tasted like vinegar. 150 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,160 I hate vinegar. 151 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,280 So that was the last drink I ever had. 152 00:06:48,280 --> 00:06:53,800 So it would be January 1 of my 21st year of life. 153 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,760 So it's been many years since I've had a drink. 154 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:57,760 That's incredible. 155 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:01,960 I can it would taste like vinegar when you knew for a fact it tasted like. 156 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:02,960 Yeah. 157 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:03,960 Yeah. 158 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,000 And that's what so when you're expecting one thing and you get something else. 159 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,160 So yeah, so God just removed the desire. 160 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:12,360 I can be in a room with everybody drinking and there's just no desire. 161 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,360 So we've been in plenty of situations like that. 162 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,640 My brothers always liked it when they were in from out of town. 163 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:22,520 If they wanted to go out someplace to a club and hear somebody play music and that kind 164 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:26,440 of we go to jazz clubs and blues clubs and that bring Randy along because well, they 165 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,160 knew he wasn't drink so somebody could drive, you know. 166 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:33,640 So and that was fine with me because I'd get in for free because that pay for it get me 167 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,640 in so it worked. 168 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,640 It's a good deal. 169 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:38,640 Yeah. 170 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:39,640 So it's been over 30 years since I've had a drink. 171 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:43,160 And eventually it just didn't want to be in that scene. 172 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:44,160 Yeah. 173 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:45,160 Yeah. 174 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:46,160 Yeah. 175 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:47,480 There were better things for him. 176 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:48,480 Yeah. 177 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:49,480 Yeah. 178 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:50,480 Absolutely. 179 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:51,480 Yeah. 180 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:52,480 Called kids. 181 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:53,480 Kids came along. 182 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,400 We got married, started a family. 183 00:07:55,400 --> 00:08:00,840 We were both working and when I got pregnant with our first after she was born, I quit 184 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,120 my job and we bought this house. 185 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:04,120 Awesome. 186 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,080 And it was tight. 187 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:08,360 In the same month? 188 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:09,360 It was tight. 189 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:13,120 And you knew that you wanted to live here considering all the stairs. 190 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:14,120 Yeah. 191 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,560 Well, nobody else wanted this house because of all the stairs up front. 192 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,760 So nobody got up to the house. 193 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,240 They would have gotten up to the house. 194 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,960 They would have been gone because it's beautiful inside. 195 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:26,960 Absolutely. 196 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:27,960 Absolutely it is. 197 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:28,960 Yeah. 198 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:33,200 We live in an old Pittsburgh house from the 20s and it's got lots of woodwork. 199 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:38,400 It's got stained glass windows, French doors between the entryway and the living room, 200 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,600 archway between the living room and the dining room. 201 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,680 So it was a beautiful house. 202 00:08:43,680 --> 00:08:47,720 But yeah, there's 20-some steps in front and people would drive up, see the steps and 203 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:48,720 drive away. 204 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,080 So it sat on the market for three years. 205 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,120 I just look at it as a nightmare. 206 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,960 In my profession, you know, somebody's injured here and you've got to get a stair chair to 207 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:57,960 get them out. 208 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,840 I'm sweating just thinking about all that work. 209 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,280 I would go into getting someone out of here. 210 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:04,280 Yeah. 211 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:08,200 Well, the goal was to put a driveway out back and we did finally acquire the property behind 212 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:09,520 us so that we can do that. 213 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:10,520 So hopefully it'll be a driveway. 214 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:14,160 So when I'm really old and you need to come and get me out of this place, you can wheel 215 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:15,160 me out the back driveway. 216 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:16,160 That'd be perfect. 217 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:17,400 Thank you for being so considerate. 218 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:18,400 No problem at all. 219 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:19,400 Glad we could help you out. 220 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:20,400 Good looking out. 221 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:21,400 Thank you for that. 222 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,720 So back to what you were led to share about. 223 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:30,080 So God has done a lot of things in our lives and when we got this house, we were a young 224 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:36,560 couple and we had two incomes when we applied for the house and got the loan for the house. 225 00:09:36,560 --> 00:09:41,480 And then again, a week after we got the house, we had a baby and then my wife's like, I 226 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:42,480 can't leave this baby. 227 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:46,160 And I'm like, all right, well, we'll make it work. 228 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:52,000 And we looked at what daycare would cost us and it would pretty much be her entire salary 229 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,000 anyway. 230 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,000 Yeah, that's how we were. 231 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,280 Three out of four weeks would have gone to daycare. 232 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:57,360 I'm like, that's stupid. 233 00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:58,360 Yeah. 234 00:09:58,360 --> 00:09:59,360 Yeah. 235 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,520 So she decided, well, we'll just stay home and I'll just work a little extra harder. 236 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:03,520 We pinched pennies. 237 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:04,520 Yeah. 238 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:05,520 Very, very pinched. 239 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,040 Yeah, we get that. 240 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,920 So funny thing happened, nothing was, did we have all three kids when the furnace went? 241 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:12,920 I think so. 242 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:14,400 I think Joshua was a baby or was it Rachel? 243 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:15,400 It was the girls. 244 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:16,400 It was the girls. 245 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:17,400 Yeah. 246 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:18,400 Yeah. 247 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:19,880 So we had two children. 248 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,320 So we'd have been in the house for about three or four years at that point in time. 249 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:28,240 A big old gas furnace down there and Sherry was concerned because she smelled gas. 250 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:33,400 So she had a furnace guy come out and he's like, well, your furnace is pretty much shot 251 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:34,720 as what he told us. 252 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,320 And we're like, well, what's the cost of replacing that? 253 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:38,320 This was in the 80s. 254 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:42,840 So when I say like $2,500, it doesn't sound like a lot these days, but back then that 255 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:43,840 was. 256 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:44,840 That's a lot. 257 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:45,840 A Mount Everest. 258 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,000 So we're like, well, we need a furnace. 259 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,680 So we signed the paperwork and off they went. 260 00:10:51,680 --> 00:10:56,400 So at the time we were at a little church down the road and my wife found out that they had 261 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,720 a benevolence fund. 262 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:03,920 So she asked if they could help us and they took it, you know, the board has to go over 263 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:08,800 those things, but they said that they could, we could help you, but we can only give you 264 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:09,800 $500. 265 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,680 But there's a guy from our church that does furnaces, commercial furnaces. 266 00:11:13,680 --> 00:11:14,680 So check with him. 267 00:11:14,680 --> 00:11:16,080 Maybe he can help out. 268 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:21,880 So we talked with him and he's like, we can get a furnace for cost for you. 269 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:23,440 I'll see what it would run. 270 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,840 And then we'll just bring a couple guys over and we'll put it in one Saturday. 271 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,880 And they're like, well, okay, that's that would work for us. 272 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,580 Let me, let me call the people that were supposed to give us a furnace. 273 00:11:33,580 --> 00:11:39,280 So I called the company that was here that was going to put the furnace in for $2,500. 274 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,000 And it had been about three weeks. 275 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,680 And when I called them, they're like, we didn't put that in already. 276 00:11:44,680 --> 00:11:47,840 And I was like, no, nobody's been back. 277 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:49,340 Nobody's been here. 278 00:11:49,340 --> 00:11:51,400 We usually have them in within a week. 279 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:52,400 You sure you don't have it in this? 280 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,320 I know we don't have a furnace in there because that's the same old one. 281 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:56,760 Nobody came and put a furnace in my house. 282 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,600 I wouldn't know this. 283 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,440 They were stunned that nobody had put it in you. 284 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:06,560 And we know that it was because God had other plans. 285 00:12:06,560 --> 00:12:09,800 So sure enough, they're like, oh yeah, we didn't put that in. 286 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,160 I said, well, can we have our deposit back because we don't want you to put it in. 287 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:14,160 So they did. 288 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:19,680 They gave us our $200 back and the guy from church called us back and he's like, we can 289 00:12:19,680 --> 00:12:23,360 put it in, but it's the furnace is going to cost you $500. 290 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,000 And we're like, huh, how about that? 291 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,360 We just happened to have 500 from the Netherlands that we can pay for the furnace. 292 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:31,360 That'd be great. 293 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:35,080 And he says, there'll be some fittings and some extra things like some, some ductwork 294 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,720 probably to fit it in place. 295 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,680 But, but that'll, that'll, it would cost you after that. 296 00:12:40,680 --> 00:12:42,880 I'm like, okay, that'd be fine. 297 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,840 So we proceeded and he ordered the furnace. 298 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,960 They came up him and Jock and just two of them, right? 299 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:50,960 I think so. 300 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:52,560 It was Dick and Jock. 301 00:12:52,560 --> 00:12:57,000 They came and they, and I was down there helping them, sharing made them lunch and we, we put 302 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,000 a furnace in our house for $500. 303 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,960 And then the fittings, he said it's about 75 bucks for all the fittings. 304 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,000 I was like, okay, that's great. 305 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:07,560 That's fantastic. 306 00:13:07,560 --> 00:13:13,280 And we go to church Sunday, which was the day after we put the furnace in and friends 307 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:19,440 of ours, they knew of our plate and they were like, you know, we just wanted to help you 308 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:20,960 guys out a little bit. 309 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,880 We, you know, we heard negative furnace and, but we can't do much, but we can give you 310 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:25,880 $75. 311 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:27,880 I'm like, what about that? 312 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,200 Well, how about that? 313 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:36,560 So between the two donations, we wound up with a free furnace in our house. 314 00:13:36,560 --> 00:13:40,080 This cost us lunch to feed them. 315 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:41,800 Which we would have done for anybody in our house. 316 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,440 But the exact amount. 317 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,080 The exact amount. 318 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,280 It wasn't like an extra 10 bucks on one way or the other. 319 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,440 It was the exact amount. 320 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:50,440 That's incredible. 321 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:51,720 I love it. 322 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:56,680 It's just, yeah, just crazy how God does that kind of stuff. 323 00:13:56,680 --> 00:13:57,680 Yeah. 324 00:13:57,680 --> 00:14:01,360 And people answering the Holy Spirit, you know, when they tell, you know, he tells you 325 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:02,880 to move, you should move. 326 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,240 Because you don't know the impact it can make. 327 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:07,240 Yeah. 328 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,920 We'd like to drag our feet and get in Jesus like, well, we can walk through the door or 329 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:12,160 we could go around the block again. 330 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:13,480 You want to go around the block again? 331 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:14,960 We can go around the block again. 332 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,360 I've spent many times walking around the block with. 333 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:18,360 We all have. 334 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:19,360 Yeah. 335 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,400 And he is way too gentle to drag us through the door. 336 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:22,400 Even if we beg him to. 337 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:23,600 It's like, Jesus, I'm having a struggle. 338 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:24,600 We drag me in. 339 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,640 No, no, I'm here to walk away. 340 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:27,640 And you're ready. 341 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:28,640 Yeah. 342 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:29,640 Yeah. 343 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:30,640 Yeah. 344 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,640 So that was one of the really big ones in our life. 345 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,080 And the next one comes years and years later. 346 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:44,480 And I was working in the IT field and the IT security was a new thing and it would change 347 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:45,480 every six months. 348 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:46,480 It would change. 349 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:51,480 It was becoming very stressful and I was looking for a way out and I was sitting at 350 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:52,480 my desk. 351 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:56,480 I just had a conversation with a vendor and I hung up the phone and the Lord, you got 352 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:57,680 to get me out of here. 353 00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:58,680 I can't do this anymore. 354 00:14:58,680 --> 00:14:59,680 I don't know where I'm going to go. 355 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,880 I don't know what I'm going to do, but you got to get me out of here. 356 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:06,040 This was at three o'clock in the afternoon at four o'clock. 357 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:11,320 I got called into the president's office by the general manager and I went in and the 358 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:16,120 vice president was there and they started talking about how valuable employee I was 359 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,000 and all the things that I had done. 360 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,160 I'd been with the company for 10 years at this point in time. 361 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,560 And I'm thinking, huh, this sounds interesting. 362 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:29,160 You know, we've grown to the point where we don't really need your position anymore. 363 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:30,880 So we're going to eliminate your position. 364 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,800 And I'm thinking, huh, how about that? 365 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:44,560 It's like they're letting me leave Egypt and they're giving me gold to go. 366 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:49,520 So I had to force myself to not smile because this probably was supposed to be shocking 367 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:50,520 to me. 368 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:51,520 And I wanted. 369 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:52,520 And I'm wanted. 370 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:53,520 Yeah. 371 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:54,520 Disturbing. 372 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:55,520 Yeah. 373 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:56,520 And I was like, boy, if you guys want to talk to me, we could have worked this all out ahead 374 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:57,520 of time, you know. 375 00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:02,480 But they were very cordial about it and there was no hard feelings on there. 376 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:06,600 So I was able to have a severance package when I left there and. 377 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:07,600 And unemployment. 378 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,360 And unemployment to boot. 379 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,000 So we're like, we got it made. 380 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,200 Yeah. 381 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:18,280 And then he had some opportunities to make money with a few friends. 382 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,200 We had a friend who had a handyman business. 383 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:27,600 So he was working with him and then someone else who had a computer business and then 384 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:28,600 the church. 385 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:33,880 And so he had a few kind of side jobs that he could, that he could work on. 386 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,680 And those were kind of filling in the gap. 387 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:42,960 And then the guy who our friends who had the handyman business, he didn't like painting. 388 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:47,240 So he would give all those customers to Randy and Randy loves to paint. 389 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:48,240 Yeah. 390 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:52,160 So after the first job where he was doing some remodeling in the kitchen and I painted 391 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,640 the rest of the house, what he was doing, the remodeling work and then I painted the 392 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,040 kitchen and he's like, wow, you paint really nice. 393 00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:58,960 I was like, well, yeah, I'm an artist. 394 00:16:58,960 --> 00:16:59,960 I like to paint. 395 00:16:59,960 --> 00:17:00,960 Pain is fun. 396 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:02,240 Pain is good. 397 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,120 So we paint a lot of stuff for him. 398 00:17:04,120 --> 00:17:08,160 And eventually when somebody called him for just painting, yeah, he would, he would say, 399 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,360 well, call this guy because he would do it cheaper than I would charge you to do it. 400 00:17:11,360 --> 00:17:13,800 So people started to call me for painting. 401 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,960 And then some more people would call me for painting and more of you called him. 402 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:20,000 So it just slowly built over the first couple of years. 403 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,960 And then anytime when it would slow down. 404 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:29,000 So we were at an opportunity where we, we were painting a house over on neighborhood 405 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:33,640 here and my niece at the time didn't have any work and she's a decent painter. 406 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,960 So I brought her onto the job. 407 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:41,960 So with the extra person helping, we got done early and I'm thinking, well, I don't have 408 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:43,800 any more job schedule. 409 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,880 This is running through my head and I'm cleaning up and I'm gathering my things together and 410 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:49,520 thinking, dang, what am I going to do? 411 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:53,880 And I picked up my step ladder and I picked up my toolbox and I started walking out 412 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:54,880 to the sidewalk. 413 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:56,920 I'm like, I don't have any more work. 414 00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,200 So I don't know what we're going to do here. 415 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:04,560 I take two steps onto the sidewalk, a car pulls up on the street and stops at the sidewalk 416 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,120 and a window roll does this. 417 00:18:06,120 --> 00:18:07,800 Hey, did you just paint that house there? 418 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,040 And I'm like, uh, yeah, yeah, I did. 419 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:11,760 Would you mind stopping over at our house? 420 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,240 My wife wants our house painted. 421 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:17,040 And I'm thinking, huh, how about that? 422 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:18,400 How about that? 423 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,640 So sure enough, we, you know, we talked to that person and then one thing happens and 424 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:23,520 another thing happens. 425 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:27,880 And then anytime that there would be a point where things would slow down, I would obviously 426 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,640 be concerned because, you know, that's our sole source of income. 427 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:35,800 My wife was homeschooling at the time and we still had one kid here, two kids were in 428 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:36,800 college. 429 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:43,840 Well, at that point, you were still working at the church and with Jim and with Joe, but 430 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,960 those things started to slow down. 431 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:53,680 The more work he got painting, the more that slowed down, that just kind of fizzled out. 432 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:59,360 And I had prayed, I was homeschooling our last child and we would have devotions in 433 00:18:59,360 --> 00:19:02,680 the morning and I would pray, we would pray together. 434 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:09,320 And I said, Lord, if this truly is your will for us to have our own business, please show 435 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:13,000 us by putting jobs on the calendar. 436 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:17,200 And he did exactly that. 437 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,160 I would have days where I'd be like, I'd be concerned, you know, because there's nothing 438 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:21,160 on the calendar. 439 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:25,120 And then my phone would start ringing and there were days where I'd literally get like four 440 00:19:25,120 --> 00:19:28,960 or five phone calls and so I'd have all these jobs to go look at and do the work. 441 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,800 And I would come home and say, were you praying this morning? 442 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,680 As a matter of fact, I was dear. 443 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:41,080 And so the power of a praying life is very important if you want to do anything. 444 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,640 I'm pretty sure that's somewhere in the Bible. 445 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:44,640 I think so. 446 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:45,640 I think so. 447 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:46,640 You think so? 448 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:47,640 I think so. 449 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:48,640 Yeah. 450 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,140 She would keep us going. 451 00:19:50,140 --> 00:19:51,140 She would keep us going. 452 00:19:51,140 --> 00:19:57,240 And yeah, eventually as Jim's computer shop didn't need me, I had plenty of work to do 453 00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:02,040 myself and other things would come about and other things. 454 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:06,600 And God just provided opportunity after opportunity. 455 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:11,960 He was never like Jim or Joe or the church when they needed him. 456 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:13,800 He said, well, I can't. 457 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:17,440 It would just like organically just slow down. 458 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:23,800 Yeah, as Lord built our business, those other things just slowed down. 459 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:29,080 So it was obvious that it was His will that we have our own business. 460 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,720 And today we have wonderful reputation. 461 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:37,680 He has a reputation of being meticulous and doing fantastic work. 462 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:41,800 So is it exterior or interior or both? 463 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:43,440 It's mostly interior anymore. 464 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:47,920 We used to do exteriors, but we have plenty of interior work and we do some light remodeling. 465 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:52,360 We like to do tile work and we like to do cabinet installs for kitchens and things like 466 00:20:52,360 --> 00:20:53,360 that. 467 00:20:53,360 --> 00:20:54,360 It's definitely grown. 468 00:20:54,360 --> 00:20:58,760 My son-in-law is a very craftsman style person that he works with us. 469 00:20:58,760 --> 00:20:59,760 So. 470 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:00,760 And we own a couple of properties. 471 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:01,760 We have a couple of rentals. 472 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:03,280 They provided those things. 473 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:04,280 They provided that. 474 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:05,280 Yeah, definitely. 475 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:10,880 Crazy how you came to this house 30 years ago, a week later having a baby and a single 476 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:12,880 income. 477 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:18,640 What you have been blessed with now through good stewardship, through honest communication 478 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,600 with each other because that couldn't have happened without it. 479 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:25,360 And with obviously the Lord's blessing on every single thing. 480 00:21:25,360 --> 00:21:27,040 Like he's definitely shown his favor. 481 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:32,080 And you guys have definitely stepped in the right direction every time it seems. 482 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:33,960 Yeah, I mean with his guidance. 483 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:34,960 Yeah. 484 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:35,960 That's great. 485 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:40,280 And the big thing in all of these stories that we're relating to is God's goodness in 486 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:45,640 fellowship because we did fellowship with a body of believers and we were part of a 487 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:47,160 congregation. 488 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,120 We are members of that congregation. 489 00:21:49,120 --> 00:21:52,960 And then, you know, the benevolence was there for us when they found out that we needed 490 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:57,600 it, having good friends when they found out that we were in need, they were able to help 491 00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:58,600 us out. 492 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,040 So it looked like she wanted to say something. 493 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:01,880 I didn't want to step on her toes. 494 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:07,000 And being at South Hill Assembly and them knowing that I was starting to do work with 495 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,400 the one gentleman there, Joe Burke, who was the leader of the men's ministry. 496 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:15,160 They're like, what can you help us do things because they heard that I was helping Joe. 497 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:16,720 So yeah, I can help you guys do things. 498 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:20,560 So that's when I would get all the small jobs from the church because they had just, they 499 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,960 had a handyman, but he went away, he moved away so they didn't have anybody on staff 500 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:27,360 anymore that could do little repair jobs. 501 00:22:27,360 --> 00:22:30,680 So I would do lots of little repair jobs for them. 502 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:36,720 So I had my dad growing up, my dad had a duplex and a five unit apartment building. 503 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,960 So I built a lot of things with my dad. 504 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,560 So I did have some background in these things. 505 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:45,920 It wasn't like I was a computer guy and an artist that just decided, oh, I can build things. 506 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:47,240 I can build things. 507 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:54,840 So there was some experience there that we had and it was a much more fulfilling work. 508 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:56,160 The IT field was great. 509 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:57,840 I met a lot of nice people. 510 00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:59,400 I learned a lot. 511 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:05,800 God taught me things that, you know, when you learn something at any job, they can't 512 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,160 take that away from you. 513 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:11,840 So anybody that listens to this, if you can learn something at a job, do it because you 514 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:13,560 can take that and go somewhere else with it. 515 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,120 You know, so I learned customer service. 516 00:23:15,120 --> 00:23:17,080 I learned, I learned computer work. 517 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,160 I learned how to build websites. 518 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:23,760 So when we started our own business, I knew how to build a website for our business. 519 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:24,840 So that was not a big deal. 520 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:26,160 I knew how to work the computers. 521 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,880 So at our house, we could keep the computers up and running. 522 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:31,960 It was God ordained all the way through. 523 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:36,520 And when you look back from where we've come, like you were saying or Josh, from where we've 524 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:42,600 come to where we are now, I mean, it's fairly obvious where God was taking us to. 525 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:48,160 And point of fellowshiping with people is that you know people and then people know 526 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:49,400 you. 527 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:53,400 And if, I mean, in my early painting days, there were a lot of people from the church 528 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:58,680 that when they found out, oh, Randy, who I know from church paints, well, that's better 529 00:23:58,680 --> 00:23:59,680 than getting somebody else. 530 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,540 I don't know to come to my house because I know this guy. 531 00:24:02,540 --> 00:24:07,040 So a lot of people would trust me to come into their home and paint for them. 532 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,440 So the business continued to grow and to grow and to grow. 533 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,640 So we'll say where we are now, he's provided a couple of properties. 534 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:14,840 We have an Airbnb now that we use. 535 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:16,400 My wife manages that. 536 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:17,400 We have those. 537 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:18,400 It's got good ratings too. 538 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:19,400 It does. 539 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:20,400 I hear. 540 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:21,400 Jesus, superhost. 541 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:22,400 Superhost. 542 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:23,400 I've seen the pictures. 543 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:24,400 It's a gorgeous Airbnb. 544 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,840 It's like a retro kind of thing. 545 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:27,840 Yes. 546 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:28,840 Yeah. 547 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:29,840 Yes. 548 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:30,840 It's fun. 549 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:31,840 Absolutely lovely. 550 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:32,840 Yeah. 551 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:33,840 Thank you. 552 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:34,840 Thank you. 553 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:35,840 That's a lot of fun. 554 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,680 But through all of that, it was very important that we were part of a body of believers and 555 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:42,760 that we attended someplace, went someplace. 556 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:48,040 We would not be where we are today without the body of Christ. 557 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:49,040 That's just the bottom line. 558 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:50,040 Yeah. 559 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,040 Just the bottom line. 560 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:53,040 Yeah. 561 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:58,240 So many times we run into Christians that are dissuaded because of a church and they 562 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,440 believe that they're fine by themselves. 563 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,720 You know, we're in the Bible to say you have to go to church. 564 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:04,720 Nowhere in the Bible. 565 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,200 Like, it does say that you need to be with body of believers. 566 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,880 It does say you need to have fellowship with other people. 567 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:11,400 You know, iron sharpens iron. 568 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:15,520 And when I fall, then there's 150 people to help pick me back up. 569 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:16,520 Right? 570 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,840 It does say that if one person suffers, you all suffer. 571 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,160 And if one person is doing well, you all give them praise. 572 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:23,160 Right? 573 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:24,160 It does say that. 574 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:29,360 So I don't understand that what churches some people go to that they get hurt so bad 575 00:25:29,360 --> 00:25:34,400 that they decide they don't need people because God created us for relationships. 576 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,080 Not just with him, but with each other. 577 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:37,080 Right? 578 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:41,560 And we often miscount that we are one of the greater gifts he's given to each other. 579 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:42,560 Right? 580 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:43,560 It's not just him. 581 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:44,560 It's not just the Spirit. 582 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:46,120 It's not just Jesus, but each other. 583 00:25:46,120 --> 00:25:47,920 We're the greatest gifts that he's given each other. 584 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:49,160 Like, we're awesome gifts. 585 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:50,160 Yeah. 586 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:51,160 He thinks we're awesome. 587 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:52,160 He thinks we're to die for. 588 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:53,160 And of course we're gifts for each other. 589 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:54,160 Right. 590 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:55,160 Yeah. 591 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:58,840 And if you're listening to this and you have been hurt by somebody to church and you left 592 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:04,120 that church because of that hurt, that isn't a reason to walk away from Christ. 593 00:26:04,120 --> 00:26:05,120 Christ didn't hurt you. 594 00:26:05,120 --> 00:26:10,760 The person did and a lot of Christians that are well intended do stupid things. 595 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:12,920 I mean, we're just people. 596 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:13,920 We're just people. 597 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:14,920 Yeah. 598 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:15,920 We're people, we're fallible. 599 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:16,920 Hurt people, hurt people. 600 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:17,920 Yeah. 601 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:18,920 Yeah. 602 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,040 So get back in that church. 603 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:22,040 Do things. 604 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:23,040 For any church. 605 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:24,040 Any church. 606 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:25,040 If it's not clicking, go to a different one. 607 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:26,480 There's a lot out there. 608 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,600 Go to the one where you feel like the Holy Spirit is there with you. 609 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:30,600 Yeah. 610 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:31,600 That's very important. 611 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:36,120 If you go one and you're scared, if you go to one and you don't know, don't keep going. 612 00:26:36,120 --> 00:26:38,440 Go to the one when you know you know. 613 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:39,440 Yeah. 614 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:40,440 That's the one. 615 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:41,440 Yeah. 616 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:45,200 So we've developed a really close group of friends and we don't all go to the same church 617 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:46,200 anymore. 618 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:47,880 You know, they, everybody changes from time to time. 619 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,640 They feel led to go somewhere else to do other things. 620 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:55,920 And we have a really good core group of friends that, that we do a lot of things with. 621 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,560 There's a particular group that we call the boat crew. 622 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:03,560 And we ran a houseboat with how many other couples now? 623 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:04,560 There's six couples. 624 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:08,080 There's six couples together for a whole week on a houseboat. 625 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:12,000 And it is the most fun you've ever had in your entire life. 626 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,560 I didn't know I've had a lot of fun. 627 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:16,520 I did too up until this point. 628 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,960 And then I was like, holy cow, this is even more fun. 629 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:21,160 It was just a really great time. 630 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:25,720 The first time we did it and we're planning the fourth trip now. 631 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:30,800 So and we've rented, we just found out today that it's booked the Black Pearl as the name 632 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:32,400 of the boat will be on this year. 633 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,880 So we got some piratey things happen. 634 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:36,880 Of course it is. 635 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,000 But we're all Christians. 636 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,760 We at one point all went to church at the same, you know, together. 637 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:43,760 Same place. 638 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:44,760 Same place. 639 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:50,320 Since then, most of us have dispersed, but we all know each other and love each other. 640 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,560 We take turns making dinner. 641 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:58,520 We have devotions, whoever cooks dinner is in charge of devotions that night. 642 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:02,240 And the first year we told our stories, how we met. 643 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,600 So sometimes we change it up and we laugh a lot. 644 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:06,600 We laugh a lot. 645 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:07,600 Play a lot of games. 646 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:11,920 So where do you take the houseboat? 647 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:12,920 Now, I'm curious. 648 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:13,920 You go to a lake or whatever. 649 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,080 It is a very, very large lake. 650 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:19,200 It's right on the border of Kentucky and Tennessee, Dale Hollow Lake. 651 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,760 I think it's got 170 miles of coastline around the lake. 652 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:23,960 So it's a big lake. 653 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:24,960 A significant. 654 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:25,960 Yeah. 655 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:26,960 I mean, you can see across it. 656 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:27,960 It's not that big. 657 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:32,200 So there's lots of out, lots of coves and inlets that you can pull the boat into and 658 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:36,760 you just drive and you pull up onto the shore and you tie off and then you just have fun. 659 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,360 So you float around. 660 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:46,320 But a year and a half or so ago, my mom passed away and it was a tough time. 661 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:52,800 And when she passed, my sister-in-law's family is very involved with our family. 662 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:58,040 They were all in Florida on vacation and my brother and sister-in-law were supposed to 663 00:28:58,040 --> 00:28:59,040 be there too. 664 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:00,240 They decided not to go. 665 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:04,360 And I think the two days into the trip is when my mom passed away. 666 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,400 But it was a tough time. 667 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,240 And you might have to talk some more about this. 668 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:15,400 We were sitting in their kitchen trying to plan the funeral, the luncheon, and usually 669 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:21,400 Kathy's family would step in and take care of that and not have, we wouldn't have to 670 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:22,400 worry about it at all. 671 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:23,400 Yeah. 672 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:28,040 When her mom passed, our whole family pitched in and we did all the things they needed done. 673 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:29,040 Right. 674 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:30,520 But of course they were away. 675 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:32,800 So that wasn't possible. 676 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:37,120 I think I called Kayla and I think she was out of town. 677 00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,240 I didn't reach her. 678 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,760 She was a, considered the family life director at that point. 679 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,080 So I thought, well, maybe I could reach out to her. 680 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:49,040 We can get some help rallied at the church. 681 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,760 In the meantime, I think Pastor Pete called you, right? 682 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:52,760 Yeah. 683 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:53,760 Called Randy. 684 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:57,240 And he said, hey, what do you need? 685 00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:02,560 And so he told Pastor Pete and then Randy called Shanie. 686 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:04,360 Shanie's the head of the boat crew. 687 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:05,560 She's the one that makes it happen. 688 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,360 If it wasn't for Shanie, we would not have a boat crew. 689 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:09,360 Right. 690 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:10,360 So thank you, Shanie. 691 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:11,360 I can see that. 692 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:12,360 Yeah. 693 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,440 So when you picked up the phone, answered the phone and said, it's about time you called. 694 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:18,600 What do you need? 695 00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:20,240 Shanie took care of everything. 696 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,720 We ordered the food from Ginegal. 697 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,600 Had that catered and she organized everything. 698 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:28,040 She picked up the food. 699 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:29,920 She organized the help. 700 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:31,840 She just took care of everything. 701 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:32,840 Organized meals. 702 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:33,840 We didn't have to work. 703 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:34,840 Extra meals. 704 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:35,840 Yeah. 705 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:39,920 Organized extra meals for during the funeral and after the funeral. 706 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:45,760 She had to, when Pete announced it at church and he said that, see Shanie and she'll organize 707 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:46,760 this. 708 00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:50,640 Shanie had to tell people, we have too many people to help. 709 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,000 So we don't need anymore. 710 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:53,000 So many people came. 711 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:54,000 Yeah. 712 00:30:54,000 --> 00:31:01,000 It was very moving and very much a witness to our family and friends who came to the 713 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:02,000 funeral. 714 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:08,040 A lot of people were asking, are those the caterers helpers or the facilities helpers? 715 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,440 And we're like, no, they're from our church. 716 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,560 They're all from our church. 717 00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:13,560 They're our family. 718 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:14,560 They're our family. 719 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:15,560 Church family. 720 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:16,560 Yeah. 721 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:24,360 So that was just such a significant moving experience to have them rally around us the 722 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:25,360 way they did. 723 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:29,640 A great testimony of how God's people are supposed to be with each other. 724 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:30,640 Absolutely. 725 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:31,640 It really was. 726 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,080 And why fellowship is important. 727 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,560 One of the facets of why fellowship is important. 728 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:37,560 Not the only reason. 729 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:41,320 You don't need to have horrible things happen for it to happen. 730 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:45,400 Nothing bad has happened since I've been to meet with you. 731 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:49,040 Like nothing that I know of that's been bad to happen in my life, but I'm having a blast 732 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:50,160 with Randy. 733 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,800 And so, you know, you can have fun with fellowship too. 734 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:53,800 That's just really good. 735 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:54,800 Not just in the bad times. 736 00:31:54,800 --> 00:32:00,440 I encourage you that there's a lot of fun and good times and just having a fellow believer 737 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:01,440 to talk to. 738 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:06,040 And when you're struggling, if you have issues that they may actually have gone through and 739 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,040 can help you through. 740 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:12,120 When I was in the military, a lot of guys had PTSD. 741 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:15,440 And it was hard for them to talk about some of the things they'd seen, some of the things 742 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:19,080 they'd done, some of the things, the experiences that they had done. 743 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:23,520 And I had heard a story from one of them and it would talk basically about how a man with 744 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:29,160 PTSD, a soldier felt like he was in the bottom of a hole and he couldn't get himself out. 745 00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:32,240 And it's really easy for us to say, Hey, you know, God can get you out of a hole. 746 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:36,320 But that's not the case when you can't see anything, right? 747 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:40,040 And so the story goes that another soldier jumps in the hole with him and he says, What 748 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:41,040 are you doing here? 749 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:42,040 Crazy. 750 00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:43,040 You're going to get stuck too. 751 00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,680 And the guy says, I've been in this hole before I know how to get out. 752 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:51,040 And so, you know, it really reaches that story about PTSD, but that's also fellowship. 753 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:52,040 Right? 754 00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,160 This is I've been where you are and I know how to get out. 755 00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:56,360 It's okay if I'm here with you. 756 00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,040 You shouldn't be alone. 757 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:02,200 And I think that speaks volumes to what a good church body looks like in a lot of people 758 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,560 have been hurt by that we've mentioned before. 759 00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,800 And I know that we're in a good place where we are because I felt that as soon as I went 760 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,840 there that there's a Holy Spirit very strong in the church. 761 00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:14,280 And so I'm very, very glad to have met Randy. 762 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:15,400 I couldn't avoid him. 763 00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:20,680 He basically threw himself at me the first day I was in the church to greet me and he's 764 00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:29,720 invited me to, if not 100%, 99.7% of every function that is offered to men at the church. 765 00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:34,880 And I really appreciate that I've told him in his podcast a couple of weeks ago that 766 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:35,880 that's never happened. 767 00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:39,280 I've never been in a church that focused on men's ministry. 768 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:40,280 Never. 769 00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:46,680 And when they did, they did like one thing a year that was $275, you know, and you guys 770 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:49,360 can do this for, there was no point. 771 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:50,600 There was no fellowship. 772 00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:51,840 It felt more like a chore. 773 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:55,000 It felt more like, well, if I'm going to go on vacation, I'm going to go with my family. 774 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:56,000 Right? 775 00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,240 It didn't, I don't understand it. 776 00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,720 And Randy's very welcoming and very wonderful person. 777 00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:06,040 I know the first Wednesday night class that my wife was in was with Randy's wife. 778 00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:09,000 And so I didn't even know they were together. 779 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:10,520 And then when I, I was like, I'm mad. 780 00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:14,360 I was like, I don't know what she sees in him because he's a goofball. 781 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:18,000 And she seems, she seems like she's got it really all together. 782 00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:19,000 Right? 783 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:20,000 I don't. 784 00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:25,920 And the more you did, the more I see you guys interact and talk, you guys are so perfect 785 00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:26,920 for each other. 786 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:27,920 Right? 787 00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:31,720 And certainly it's hard to see it, but together it's plain as day. 788 00:34:31,720 --> 00:34:36,800 I just love that about the dynamic of you two that literally when I met you had no idea. 789 00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:37,800 Right? 790 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:41,400 You were so different from the goofiness that he puts on the table. 791 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,880 But when you're together, you're with him in his goofiness. 792 00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:45,880 You don't stop him. 793 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:46,880 You're not smacking him. 794 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,360 You know, you allow him to be him. 795 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,800 And that is such a lovely, encouraging thing to see. 796 00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,040 I just love you guys. 797 00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:56,560 When she's smacking me, it's, it's usually what people aren't looking. 798 00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:58,920 So, so you're going to get it when we leave. 799 00:34:58,920 --> 00:34:59,920 Yeah. 800 00:34:59,920 --> 00:35:00,920 Yeah, I will. 801 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:05,800 You know, it's funny because one of the reasons I married him was because he made me laugh. 802 00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:11,680 And then we had kids and life is, you know, I mean, life can get very serious raising 803 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:15,760 other human beings, you know, these beautiful little babies. 804 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:20,280 And he would joke because that's his nature. 805 00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:24,440 And I would just say, would you please be serious? 806 00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:28,240 Please be serious for a moment, but it's a struggle. 807 00:35:28,240 --> 00:35:30,640 It's a struggle for him to be serious. 808 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:31,640 I've been doing really good. 809 00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:34,080 This whole podcast, I've been pretty good. 810 00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:35,080 Yes. 811 00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:39,600 You know, he actually shared with me the other night that he said, the thing that you left 812 00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:41,160 most about him was a sense of humor. 813 00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:44,480 And the thing that annoyed you the most about him was a sense of humor. 814 00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:45,480 It's true. 815 00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:46,480 It's very true. 816 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:47,480 Yes. 817 00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:48,480 It's very true. 818 00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:49,480 Yep. 819 00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:50,480 There you go. 820 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:51,480 There you go. 821 00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:52,480 That's a two-inch sword right there. 822 00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:53,480 It is. 823 00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:57,200 But at the end of the day, I'd rather laugh than cry. 824 00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:58,200 Absolutely. 825 00:35:58,200 --> 00:35:59,200 Absolutely. 826 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,680 Good choice. 827 00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:08,000 So our takeaway, our, I guess, PowerPoint as Pastor Pete would say. 828 00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,080 What's PowerPoint? 829 00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:16,280 How important the body of Christ is and scripture we would like to share as Hebrews 10, 24 and 830 00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:23,440 25, it says, and let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. 831 00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:29,120 Not giving up meeting together as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one 832 00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:35,720 another and then all the more as you see the day approaching, being part of a body is just 833 00:36:35,720 --> 00:36:37,680 so, so important. 834 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,520 And we're called to not give up meeting together. 835 00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:41,520 Yeah. 836 00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:42,520 Yeah. 837 00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:43,520 It's, we're designed for it. 838 00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:44,520 We are. 839 00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:45,520 Absolutely. 840 00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:47,020 Thank you guys so much. 841 00:36:47,020 --> 00:36:48,720 I love you guys so much. 842 00:36:48,720 --> 00:36:51,160 Oh, we like you guys a little bit too. 843 00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:52,160 We love you too. 844 00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:56,680 I'm so blessed that my first small group at the church was with you. 845 00:36:56,680 --> 00:37:00,840 And we did wellness revelation for those of you who haven't heard of it. 846 00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:05,360 You know, they have all these things for weight loss and you know, it's like, do this, do 847 00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:08,520 that, but they don't, in that group, they don't show it on you. 848 00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:12,080 They don't say you should do this, you should do this because everybody's different. 849 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:16,640 And so in that little group, you go through the, oh, you've put in the work, but then 850 00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:21,560 you get, God reveals what's best for you and your body and your family. 851 00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:22,560 So it's a really great group. 852 00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:25,560 Do you want to share anything more about that? 853 00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:27,120 Maybe I'll save that. 854 00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:28,120 Okay. 855 00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:29,920 So I was just blessed by that. 856 00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:31,440 And it's like another level. 857 00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:35,120 So if that sounds interesting to you, you can look that up. 858 00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:42,600 So they got apps and videos and devotions and they got activities to meet together throughout 859 00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:43,600 the year. 860 00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,400 So anyway, so it's a blessing to me. 861 00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:47,400 So. 862 00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:48,400 Yeah. 863 00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,520 It was funny that like I met Josh and you met Sherry and the four of us didn't. 864 00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:52,880 Know that we connected. 865 00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:53,880 Yeah. 866 00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:56,120 Got so good how he leaves everything together. 867 00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:58,000 He's got a better sense of humor than Randy and I. 868 00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,960 So you know, he was giggling when he was dealing it. 869 00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:01,960 This out guys. 870 00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:03,520 Hey Gabriel, look at this. 871

00:38:12,600 It was just such a blessing to meet you and to work with you. 875 00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:14,040 Thank you. 876 00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:17,320 So with that, thank you listener for listening. 877 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,160 We hope you've been blessed and could take something away from this. 878 00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:23,920 And if the Holy Spirit brought someone to your mind, we hope that you can pass it along 879 00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:27,480 to them because it can be an encouragement to them as well. 880 00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:31,600 And also I'd like to share that we have a fundraising campaign to help us pay for the 881 00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:32,600 audio expenses. 882 00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:37,680 So if you go to ginsengoo.com and look up God's goodness podcast, you can make a donation 883 00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:40,080 there and we'd greatly appreciate the help. 884 00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:52,600 And with that, we'll talk to you next time.
