This is the Truth Network. Welcome to the Christian Car Guy Radio Show. I say this calls for action and now, nip it in the bud.

You got to nip it in the bud. Blind spots today on the Christian Car Guy Show, yes, blind spots. You may know that, oh my goodness. If you went to many accident scenes, and of course it's very timely that I have Bill Mixon, my Christian insurance guy, with me here today. If you go to many accident sites, I think one of the things you'll hear quite often is, I didn't see that coming. You know, it's one of those things that when you really think about it, we're all to some extent born blind. Obviously couldn't see immediately, but even then, and even to this day actually, if you really, really consider it. But nonetheless, how many things or accidents do you think, when you look back at your own, hopefully you've not had any automobile accidents, but ones that were actually your fault, I can tell you, they're like, man, I didn't see it.

It just showed up and all those kind of things. So the question is today that I would love to have you call in, because it's fascinating to me. Every once in a while, God will open up the eyes of your heart to something.

It actually may be a lot. He probably opens up, I hope he does, opens up the eyes to your heart every single morning in the Scripture somehow. Or in different ideas of prayer as you get a chance to pray. But I'm thinking about a story when all of a sudden, like man, he opened your eyes to see something coming that you would have no way of knowing in preparation for a holy moment. Like, oh my goodness, look what he did. Look what he showed me was going to happen.

Look what happened. And we'll get into the story in John chapter 9 of the man that was born blind. But I would love to hear your story. So when did that happen for you? 866-348-7884, 866-348-7884.

When were you given eyes to see something that was coming, that really provided you with a holy moment? And I was thinking about this this morning, like, oh my goodness. I was, many know, the general manager, I was the car dealer in Westside Chrysler Dodge Jeep in Mocksville. It was a Chrysler franchise and we had a salesman there by the name of Johnny Hendricks. And many have maybe heard the story of how Johnny had pancreatic cancer and unfortunately went into a coma. And at that point in time, based on his wife's testimony and his best friend's testimony, Johnny did not know Jesus.

And I had worked with a man for four or five years and had not witnessed to him. And I was like, wow, I was beyond broken hearted that I had missed opportunities, especially when he'd come to me and told me that he had cancer. But to make a very long story short, I went and I prayed very, very hard that God would give him some more time. He ended up in this coma for four days and he woke up out of that coma after a great deal of prayer, like he hadn't even, all of a sudden he just sat up in the bed, put his ball cap on in Davie County fashion. And he and I had a discussion of how I'd told God that if he'd give him more time that I would share Jesus with him or help him to get him to know him better. And as a result of that, Johnny came to Christ. I'm getting to the part where the vision happened, okay?

It was miraculous and it's an amazing story and I can't believe how God has used it over the years in so many different ways. But the part where the premonition comes is within two weeks of Johnny coming to Christ, he actually passed away. And about, you know, I was in the room when he passed away. I was with his wife when he passed away. In fact, his wife had asked that I tell him that he didn't have but a few hours to live.

That was a conversation for another time, another story. Nonetheless, shortly after I went to work, after Johnny passed and I'd consoled his wife and I went on to work and I was, you know, working away doing whatever I did at the time as a car dealer. And all of a sudden, God tells me clearly, Robbie, you're going to do Johnny's funeral. And I'm like, what? You know, that was such a bizarre thought to me at that moment in time. You could imagine that, you know, hey, I'm a car dealer. I don't know the first thing about doing a funeral.

You know, I'm not a pastor. At this point in my life, I wasn't. And I knew nothing about the whole situation. I'm like, really?

That just seemed so bizarre to me. And I was thinking about it as I was telling somebody else that I thought originally that maybe she called me that day but she didn't. It was like the next day. And all of a sudden, she called me and she's like, Robbie, we have talked about it and we really would like you to do the funeral. And it just took my breath, right? And I'm like, oh my goodness.

I am going to do his funeral? And as a result of me doing that funeral and telling the story, the extended story that I just said a minute ago, I was asked to go speak at a church to share the same story. And God used that in a miraculous way.

And actually, I'll never ever forget it. As I shared that story at the funeral, you know, I could tell it really had an impact on a lot of people. With the church the following Sunday that was a fairly large church in Davie County at the time, I gave an altar call for people not just to receive Christ but for people to think about people in their life that they had not witnessed to, that they'd had plenty of opportunity to.

And they wouldn't want to see them in a coma not knowing Jesus and going, you know, obviously to hell for eternity because there had been no witness to them. And the entire church, like I've never seen anything like it. It was clearly just the Spirit of God. And so what happened was God gave me clearly eyes to see something throughout the situation with Johnny, then with the funeral, and then with the church later. And he continues to use that story in the whole thing in my life to this day. And I wonder if for you, like, have you ever been, you know, rather than I didn't see that coming, like, oh, God showed me this was going to happen. And when? When did that happen? We would love to hear your story.

866-348-7884. Again, this has a lot to do with John chapter 9. We're going to get into all that. We also have got a gentleman from Ford.

Pretty cool. What's going on with that? But meanwhile, what comes to your mind, Bill? Well, I had been in a church that had both deacons and elders, and I'd been a deacon a few years, and they elected me an elder. And the one part of that that I really, really had a difficult time with was going into the hospital. My problem with visiting folks in the hospital is, one, I really don't want anybody visiting me when I'm in a hospital. But when to leave is always really frustrating to me. So I wake up the first morning that I'm an elder and I say, God, yeah, I'm going to dedicate this day to you.

I'm going to do what you want me to do. And I know that I'm supposed to go visit some members that are in the hospital. So I get over to Forsyth, and the parking lot over there is awful. I mean, it's just ridiculously difficult to find a spot. And I was thinking, maybe I should just go ahead and park way out in the woods and then walk in. And I look right by the flagpole, and there was an open spot, and there were about six cars in front of me. And I was like, that's ridiculous.

There's no way that that spot is going to stay open. But I felt God say, go that way. And the first car missed it, and the second car missed it, and the third car went in a different way. Well, I got the absolute perfect parking spot at the hospital. So I walk in and I say, yeah, I've got these three people that I'm checking in.

Well, two of them had already checked out. So I had one lady to go up and see, and she'd had a leg amputated because of diabetes. And we had a nice talk, and asked her if she'd like to pray, and we prayed. And right then, her family came in.

Absolute perfect time to just go down out of there. And I was walking out of the hospital, and I'm thinking, you know, well, I am way ahead of my time. And I remembered my daughter had a brand new friend, and we hadn't met the friend's parents yet.

And her father was at Forsyth having a, he had a cancer in the middle of his head, and they would screw on a halo, an aluminum frame that would hold it in a machine, and they microwaved that golf ball-sized growth. And I'm thinking, I need to go meet him. I need to go see him. And he's in an area where you're not supposed to be able to get to.

So it's like door after door after door. And I end up in front of Brian's bed, and the story gets even more exciting after that. We just want to hear more from that, and then we have Ted from Ford. We've got some amazing stuff to share with you.

Stay tuned. You're listening to the Truth Network and truthnetwork.com. Blind spots today on the Christian Car Guys show, and in keeping with that idea, which, you know, when did you have something happen in your life? You didn't see it coming, especially the danger of that in a car, but also today, we're so excited to have Ford with us. And they're opening up what was a blind spot. They're opening up the vault of these heritage photos, amazing stuff, as we look forward to, it's really cool that Ford's going to be in the, after 121 years, they're going to be opening this vault, sort of in line with the idea of their return to the 24 hours of Le Mans in 2007. And so, Ted, share with us what's going on.

There's a couple of different things going on, like you said. We are returning to Le Mans again in 2027. We're actually racing there this year with our Mustangs. The Mustangs GTD are doing the Mustang Challenge. And I'll be flying to Le Mans tomorrow to set up an exhibit of our history there.

But with the vault, that's the most important thing. We've added a bunch of new content to the fordheritagevault.com. We now have more than 20,000 assets in it, so anybody that is a fan of Ford can go find a brochure of their favorite car, the car they took their wife on the first date with, the car their dad was driving, and you can find the brochures there.

You can also now find press releases on the introductions of new models. So any kid out there listening to want to write a paper on the Mustang, you can download the original press release from 1964 and get all the information. And the last thing that we did is we, Ford, for the first time, ever has a heritage fleet. We have about 175 cars in the U.S. that we have gathered together. They were always in the Ford system, but they weren't controlled like that, and we've created the heritage fleet, and we've added photos of the vehicles in the fleet. So you can see a picture of our 1938 ambulance or experimental cars like the Airstream concept vehicle. So we added about 200 of those photos.

So everything is available for viewing and free download at fordheritagevault.com. That is so cool. I got to ask, one of the interesting things that happened years ago on the Christian Car Guy show was there was a lady by the name of Rachel who had a 1963 Mercury Comet that she had, even the original paint, which is quite a story, and I understand that you guys have that car now. Is there a picture of Rachel in the vault?

Are you familiar with what I'm talking about? I don't know if we have a picture of her in the vault, and that Comet may have actually gone to the Henry Ford Museum, not Ford Motor Company. Oh, I get it.

I get it. That's probably where it went. We're Ford Motor, and we do work very, very closely with the Henry Ford Museum. It's a companion museum. It's a private entity. It's a nonprofit, and Ford donated a number of vehicles to them, and we continue to donate. But the vehicles that we have in our fleet now are the ones that are, they don't really fit the collecting pattern of the Henry Ford Museum, but they're important enough to retain. So we have the first three GTs from 2005, VINs number one, two, and three. And they're not drivers. You can't take them out on the road because they're not tagged to go out on the road.

Right, right, right. They're important. They're important within Ford's system. And those are unbelievably cool things. And some of my favorite stuff is, and I understand is in the vault, is originally somebody had a vision of what a Mustang should look like, or they had a vision of what the new Bronco would look like, and they drew these things out in order to sell the concept of building this car, right? And so some of those pictures, like how cool is it, and I've seen pictures like that of certain cars in my life that used to be on several boards with Chrysler, et cetera, that I would, you know, like I saw some of the original design pictures of PT Cruiser, et cetera, and to see those things, it just blows your mind that somebody had this vision like to create this picture.

It is, and we have a number of those. And then we also, importantly, we have our almost 350 concept vehicles. And the concept vehicles are where the designers have this flight of imagination of what the future could look like. And, you know, your jets and flying cars. Right, right, right, right, exactly.

Yeah, concepts, and they're beautiful. And we added those about a year ago, and when we did, we almost broke the vault with so many people going to download. That's the other thing about it is that there's so many fans of Ford out there.

We have had, in the three years the site has been up and running, more than 30 million searches take place and more than 10 million items downloaded. We average about 1.5 million searches per month with people going in to find a picture of their dad's Mustang. I always use that example because I've got a picture of me and my dad washing his Mustang in 1969.

Oh, really? And it was springtime yellow. He loved that car. And that 69 Mustang was gorgeous. Yeah, it was.

Clearly, isn't it cool? Did your dad work for Ford? Or how did that end up that you went from your dad's Mustang to working for Ford? No, he did not work for Ford. He was in the laundry business all of his life, but he was a huge fan of Ford. And I actually came to Ford from Coca-Cola.

I was at Coca-Cola for 21 years as their historian. But I came to Ford seven years ago, and I went from one of the most famous brands in the world to another of the most famous brands in the world. But Dad actually has more Fords than I do. He's got the Model A. He's got a 56 Lincoln Continental.

He's got a Mark II. He's got a 1940 Lincoln. He's a car guy. He is your ultimate car guy.

That's so cool. But as a historian, and I love that. I've always had an unbelievable respect for Henry Ford himself and the history of his passion was to build affordable cars. And because of that passion that literally put America to work and the amount of jobs that he's created as a result of that passion to build affordable because cars weren't affordable before Henry Ford.

And have you ever thought about saying, hey, guys? You know, this could really, really help all of us if we could really get back to that kind of thing to learn from history? I don't have to because our chairman, Jim Farley, announced a couple of years ago that we are working to be the first U.S. automaker to come out with a low-cost EV that everybody could afford and to bring the entry level down. And you're 100% correct, Henry Ford changed the way that people thought about cars.

They were no longer luxury items and everybody could afford one when he was done with it. He certainly had a vision. I hate we got to go, but thank you so much, Ted. I appreciate you being with us today. Thank you, Mike. God bless. You're listening to the Truth Network and truthnetwork.com Blind spots today on the Christian Car Guys show.

I love that song. It so relates to what we're going to talk about today, both with blind spots because you might have heard her say, I've tasted, now I can see. That's a fascinating thing you'll find in the Scriptures. And the whole idea of honey from the rock, we're going to get into that and where that fits into the Pool of Siloam from John 9. But when we left our hero, Bill, and by the way, if you have a story where God gave you this insight or he allowed you to see something that was going to happen, like what we're going to hear from Bill, find your way into this holy moment.

In other words, the opposite of a blind spot. He gave you eyes to see. We would love to hear that story. 86634, really, really, really would.

86634, 87884, 86634, 87884. So when we left our hero, Bill, let's just review for a minute because I think you brought some things forth that are definitely worth reviewing. You'd just become an elder at your church even though you weren't old. Because you're old now. You had to be in your 40s when all that was going on.

My hair was still red. And so you become an elder and you're intimidated by this, right? The idea of going into the hospital and talking to people was not something that I was very happy about.

Right, right, right. So let me just say God had you right where he wanted you, and that's in a point of humility, okay? And then when we're humble, and we'll explain this all shortly, but I just don't want to miss this very important item in the story that you, just like me, I had no clue what I was doing.

Usually we do a lot of our best work when we at least admit we can't see a thing. So anyway, there you are, you're at the hospital, and you had asked God for help with this situation, and you realized you had extra time, and all of a sudden you remembered this poor gentleman who obviously had this brain tumor, and you thought, well, I've got to get to see him. But he was somewhere in intensive care or something that you couldn't get to. Well, I normally should not have been able to get to that part of the hospital. Had to go through a number of doors that were locked, and it's the type place a minister should have been able to get to, but not an elder.

He wasn't in my church in any event. So we start talking, and he's got this aluminum frame circle over his head, and he's explaining to me what they're doing to him. And the more we talked, the more we realized we had all kinds of things in common. And the more we shared, the closer this just seemed like somebody that would just be a great fit in my life. And his wife was working full-time.

They had two kids, and she wasn't able to get to the hospital very often. So I spent three, four days a week over, sitting with him and talking to him and sharing with him. So you wouldn't even have gone to the hospital had you not gotten this new assignment as an elder to God putting it on your heart to visit this man. And then if you've ever seen the show Get Smart, you know, I see all these doors. Yeah, that's pretty much it, look. Ta-da, right. Here's Bill going through all these doors, and then you get to this man, he's got this, and you end up, like, really having a chance to minister, right?

And then what? His biggest concern was that he wanted to have a deeper relationship with his kids that he felt like was not as strong as it should be. And his wife had never worked before and had never paid any bills, and he really needed to feel that she was comfortable taking over because there was very little chance that he was going to survive what was going on. He would get, you've all had a muscle cramp. Well, every muscle in his body would go into a deep cramp at certain times.

So there was times when he was in a level of pain that was just unbelievable. And we talked and we shared, and I'm pretty sure this was when I just started with the Christian Businessmen's Association, and they were encouraging us to share our faith. And I shared my faith with them, and he accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior. So was he the first?

As the first person that I ever shared with that in front of me the Holy Spirit encouraged to pray a prayer of salvation, which was transformative in itself. But he got to go home, did everything they could for him, for Scythe, and I kept visiting. So it was a very interesting way to spend afternoons to go over and... You had a brother. Had a brother. And so did he make it?

He had about a year that he was able to, he felt like his relationship with the kids was substantially better, and his wife was able to get a job, I think, in teaching, and that he felt like she knew where everything was and what was needed to be done. Isn't that cool? And often, often, in my opinion, that insight, that thing that you get to see that you didn't know was out there, was somebody you need to call, somebody you need to go visit, somebody you need to... God has that person in front of you. Just his Johnny was put on my heart in so many different ways at that time. Really cool that that led to his salvation. A lot of the time, it's doing the things that you really, really, really don't want to do. And I keep remembering that verse about only do those things you're comfortable with doing. I've never found it.

I've looked for it many times, but I haven't found it. I remember the beginning of the story, by the way, Bill. You said that, I don't know when to go home. Yeah, you do. You didn't go home in this case.

Well, in his case. I still don't want to go visit. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So we know you visit folks in prison and all these different things, and I am like, man, when did this happen to you? Something like that. You got to see or you got to hear 866-34-878-84, 866-34-truth.

Now, this is going to seem totally unrelated, but trust me, we'll get there, okay? So when Tammy and I were in Jerusalem here a few weeks ago, we had a chance to go on an amazing adventure. It's called Hezekiah's tunnel. And when Sennacherib, the Assyrian king that was going, he defeated the northern Israel, and believe me, trust me, this is going to get real interesting real quick here, was coming to surround Jerusalem, and he would besiege them and it would be a horrible thing, but Hezekiah was kind of given a vision that he needs to defend his water source and that he didn't want the king of Assyria to come there and find water. And so God kind of put it in his heart to do something really unusual, which was to put up walls around where the Gihon spring would come and form and cut a channel, unbelievable channel, almost a half mile long through solid limestone to what would become the pool of Siloam, or scent. And so he would send the water from the Gihon spring underground in the secret place, get that? He would send this water in the secret place for over half a mile to this pool that was inside the city walls so that when the king would come that they would have water. Well, that channel that he cut through solid, he sent one team at the Gihon side, another team at the pool of Siloam side, and these two guys were cutting through solid limestone, okay? It took them like four years, but they met in the middle because he was in a hurry to get this done.

Can you imagine? You would not only have to find where they were up and down and sideways, but this is three-dimensional. You couldn't come in too low, you couldn't come in too high, you couldn't come to the right, to the left. In other words, they had to meet together in the middle. And they put up a plaque where they actually, where God allowed that to happen. And this tunnel exists to this day, and water still, the Gihon spring still runs through that tunnel into the pool of Siloam.

You can go and do that while you're in Jerusalem, and I couldn't recommend it high enough, okay? And so this relates here how? Because Jesus, in John chapter 9, I'll read it to you, okay?

Because this is kind of critical of the equation. It says, Now as Jesus passed by, he saw a man who was blind from birth, as we all are. And his disciples asked him, Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind? And Jesus said, Neither him nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be revealed in him. Now think about what Bill said in my own story with Johnny. The works of God were revealed, interestingly, because of our blindness in both cases, right?

I think it's amazing. And I must work the works of him who sent me, right? And so you may know the story in verse 6, it says, When he said these things, he spat on the ground.

He spit on the ground, made clay with saliva, and he anointed the eyes and told the man, Go and wash in the pool of Siloam. Wow. You are not going to, I mean, there's so much amazing in that story, but let me just say that humility is a big part of what is going on here. And we will be back with Blindspots. We need your calls for your story. We'll be right back. Blindspots today on the Christian Car Guys show.

When did you see it coming? Instead of having that blindspot in the mirror, which unfortunately has caught us, or maybe, you know, whatever it is that causes blindspots, every once in a while God will open our eyes so that we can see in such amazing ways. So I'll do my best, Bill, to get through this as quickly and easily. So we were talking about Hezekiah's tunnel, the water that goes through the rock. It's an amazing, amazing spiritual picture that I hope I can unpack quickly for you here.

Certainly, if nothing else, it would give you some devotional time to go look at these references I'm going to reference, okay? And so the word Gihom is the spring that waters Jerusalem, which is just miraculous in so many levels, okay? If you check out the rivers in Genesis chapter 2, you're going to find that there was a river, which is Christ, that watered, because Jesus is water and it's always the word, okay? So there was this water that watered the Garden of Eden that was split into four rivers. The second of those rivers is the Gihom. Now, Gihom's not mentioned again anywhere else in the Bible until you find it here in Jerusalem mentioned, of course, I think it's 2 Kings where Hezekiah's going to build this tunnel.

The word Gihom is mentioned in the book of Job as a description of what, and this is in Job 40, 23. It's mentioned as a description of what the behemoth would do is simply to swallow the Jordan. The gushing of the Jordan would be swallowed by this behemoth, and that word, the gushing of the Jordan, is the word Gihom.

Okay, so let me dig into that a minute, okay? The Jordan, the word Jordan means to descend. And this is why it's so important that Bill and I were humble and so important, if you want water to flow, you have to get lower, okay? The lower you go from the source of the water, the more it gushes.

Beautiful, right? And so the water of the word, if you want it to flow, you've got to get lower. Think about our buddy Moses, right?

The one with the most humble people. Well, who was the whole—obviously, the five books of the Torah came to Moses because he was the most humble man that ever lived. The idea is that. But the idea of Jordan means to descend, and Jesus descended into the Jordan to be baptized, and then the Holy Spirit descended on Jesus. And so this is a beautiful picture that Hezekiah would have to cut this tunnel through solid rock almost a half a mile, and as it turns out, it's at about a six-degree angle, and the water runs. You know, for Tammy, it was about her waist. To me, it was about the top of my knees.

If you've ever seen this, you would see that picture. Nonetheless, the water runs to this day, and it runs where? To the Pool of Scent, the Siloam. And of course, Jesus sends this man to go wash his eyes after he spit on them, after he spit on the dirt, made clay, and anointed his eyes. And so as we will humble ourselves, then you see that water was in a secret place. Hezekiah was hiding it from Sennacherib, or Sennacherib, however you want to say it. He was hiding it from him, and so we have this secret place where the water flows within us. And it's beautiful that it goes to this pool that is sent, and Jesus is always sending us there, and with the idea that we would be able to see.

But in order to get there, you've got to get humble. You've got to see. You don't understand. You don't see. We have blind spots all over the place. We were born blind. What he does—and again, he's telling you that this wasn't based on necessarily your sin, but clearly mankind's sin, and he was no longer—he could see spiritually.

When he bent down—now, just realize, Jesus is now stooping, which is fascinating, because he's going to descend. He is going to take some dirt, and he's going to spit in it. What was man made out of? Clay.

Right? You've got clay in the hands of the potter, right? And so, fascinatingly, the word spit and the word blow, or the word rock, spirit, are very much related to one another, as is the word healing, because Rafa starts—it's Jehovah Rafa. He's the God that heals.

And if you think about the sound of Rafa, you can hear the breath. And so Jesus, in spitting, is not only obviously taking water, which, again, you take water, the word, and mix it with dirt, which, how many parables do we have on that idea? Right? And all of a sudden, you get this unbelievable picture of mankind itself.

Okay? And the fact that, you know, we essentially came from dirt. But the thing of it is, that dirt can't see unless it's washed by the water. You see, it's going to go to this water that had come through the, you know, this whole idea of this humility of this man just being in obedience to go to the pool and washing this clay off his eyes. Because it says he comes back seeing. It doesn't say he went seeing.

It says he comes back seeing, after he was obedient, because God sent him to do something. Okay? And I say all this, it's just, if you look in the 119th Psalm, in the 9th verse, it says, How shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed thereby according to his word. Okay?

How does a young man cleanse his eyes? Okay? And as we study God's word, as we get humble enough to admit we don't even know, I will tell you that I don't even know what one letter means. Better yet, the phrase is, when you really begin to see how much is really in any particular passage, if you go into that passage thinking you know what it means, then you're not at the point where the water can flow. But if you go into it going, gee, I don't know what that word means.

I don't know where that came from. You know, there's so much here that I could learn from if I would get low enough to allow the water to run. And sometimes it may be tomorrow when you're hearing your pastor's sermon. Are you going to go in there thinking, oh, I've heard this sermon 40, 40. Or are you going to get low to realize, man, you know, God really wants to show me something today. And pray that God would open up those blind spots so that you could see what message he may have for you when you're in that hospital thinking you don't want to be there.

And you don't know what to do because you haven't been trained. Right, Bill? I'm following you somewhat. I love the story. I always wanted to learn enough Greek to unpack some of the things that you know. Well, it's language. And again, it just is a matter of going, gee, I don't know what that means.

I want to know what it means. And then study it and go, why is that? But I will tell you that there's mysteries like this about the Gihon River, about Hezekiah's tunnel, about water, about like, why would Jesus do this? And I still have thousands more questions, but it's those questions that burn that allow you to begin to work through some of the answers and to Scripture, proving Scripture and looking at other Scriptures that have to do with that.

But I will tell you this, is the thought that blows my mind. Okay, Jesus slash King David said, my God, my God, why have thou forsaken me? That's Psalm 22.

Okay. And in Psalm 22, a few verses later, He'll say, God inhabits the praises of His people, just a beautiful thing. So here's this man on the cross, this God on the cross that's saying, you've forsaken me, but then He's saying God inhabits His praises.

And then He goes to describe, you know, His birth. And when He mentions His birth in the 22nd Psalm, He says, I gi, not Gihon, but I gi, meaning I gushed from my mother's womb. In other words, when you think about when you were born, water gushed. You gushed because you were going lower, right? And you were getting lower from the point in time you were conceived until you actually gushed.

And so hopefully we'll continue to get lower so that the water will continue to gush. And you can just think about the 22nd Psalm if you cruise around today. Bill, thank you for—what an amazing story. And thank you for listening.

I had so much fun. And remember, ChristianCarGuy.com, there you'll find the Jesus labor love, car repair labor for single moms, widows, and families in crisis. And slow down. Jesus walked everywhere He went and got it all done in 33 years. Thank you for listening.
