enjoy the message.

I won't tell you the whole story, but just a little part of it in 1st Kings

1841, and Elijah said to Ahab, go eat and drink,

for there is the sound of a heavy rain.

So Ahab went off to eat and drink,

but Elijah climbed to the top of Carmel bent down to the ground and

put his face between his knees.

Maybe I'll read you a little bit more.

This is a good story. Can I read you a little bit more. This is a good story.

Can I read you a little bit more?

How are y'all today?

Are you, are you going to?

Me too, me too.

I used to have a guy every time you would ask him how are you doing?

He said, I was doing any better. I'd be twins.

No, it's weird. You know what that means.

This other guy used to always say, he said, I'm better than I deserve. That's pretty good.

Yeah, that's pretty good.

And so we have here a picture of a nation coming out of a drought and then it's but it's a process and and it doesn't happen all at once and it happens in stages
