You know, it's really true. It takes more courage now, more than ever.

It takes more courage to go across the street and talk to a neighbor sometimes than it does to go into space.

And going into space used to be something only a few people could do, and now more people can do it.

That's wonderful.

It's one, I hope to do it someday maybe.

Yeah.

But it doesn't take as much guts as

uh having a difficult conversation risky having to uh talk to a neighbor that you've not talked

before you could come off awkwardly but if we're going to love our neighbors we can't do without

talking to him so here's you if you're gutsy and we're going to love our neighbors, we can't do without talking to him.

So here's you.

If you're gutsy and you're willing to do it.

You have found a place, I hope, I hope.

This is a place where your heart rate can slow down a little bit.

You start listening for very long.

It's because you're reminded that you can actually trust God.

He's actually good.

Hopefully you hear those reminders all the time on this radio station.

He actually loves you.

You're extremely valuable to him.
