Christian Car Guy
Welcome to the Christian car guy radio show. The cop show dedicated to helping Christians buy and sell cars by the book the blue book.
Now the orange book, but by God's book, the Bible called the Christie car guy with your questions.
186-6342 that's one 866-34-TRUTH 7884 as being a Christian have to do with buying a car you're about to find out.
Here's your host Robbie Gilmore is very exciting.
Today we are live from the American Association of Christian counselors worldwide conference in Nashville, Tennessee, and today show captive audience how can we use our cars strategically to improve our closest relationships.
Joining us today we have Dr. Joshua Straub expert in intentional relationship. So welcome Joshua, thank you to joy to be here this you are going in for such a treat today because Dr. Straub has such a fascinating ministry again is so cool just to be here at the Association of Christian counselors because are so many cool people walking around so much information so we try to glean from that what might be the best for the Christian card. I show because we really feel there's an opportunity in the culture today because there's so much texting and emailing whatever to figure out how we get our relationship again, and that's my that's my passion. I come here right I got my PhD in counseling. But I did that out of having worked with juvenile delinquents and having worked with the next generation and starting to see some of the relational chaos if you will, and similar relational breakdown, especially between the next generation and their parents in particular and and so I wanted to study more. I wanted to learn more how we could, I could help the teenagers. I was relating with your high ministries as well as in the juvenile detention center. So from that that good Christian kid comes to church every Sunday all the way to the hard-core kiddies you know literally behind doors because of grotesque acts you know and having no father figure. No role models in their lives and so that's my passion is to be able to connect the generations and be able to pour in an icy social media technology really have an impact on today's generation.
It's not to be here and help parents. This is so cool because here's how the houses play out in your life because the idea of captive audience. Now you got finally got your kids in the car when you're may be on your way to school. Or maybe you're on your way to church later on your way just to the grocery store and I have a chance to enter act and how can we have intentional discussions, one-on-one contacts that we don't normally see and we want to hear how that works out your life, because against the listeners that make the show or maybe got a question for Dr. Straub. We want to call us at 866-348-7884 for the digitally gifted out there 866-34-TRUTH. We would love to talk to you this morning and as always we got our appraisal by the real black book, and of the end of the show this week, talk about what my favorite subjects.
George MacDonald's book, the hope of the gospel and I read the coolest thing this week on Matthew five it said blessed are the pure in spirit because I get to see God. And if you ever thought about the disciples and the people actually saw Jesus and didn't know they were seen Jesus might've that had somebody with her heart and is your heart right to see Jesus and the people walk around you today or maybe in that car when you're talking to them.
So that's really talk about are brazed by the real black book where she was Christian card I show where we hope for change the way America looks at their cars.
We need to be paid for no debt.
They need to be driven safely.
We talk about you know if were following Jesus. We would be speeding would be homologues the sanctity of life kind of thing and it's estimated that Americans waste $200 million a week. $200 million a week on speeding the gas alone, not to mention lives out of the car so we always talk about that belt safety.
How easy is it to buckle your seat so again it's a live show. We would love to hear your view today were talking about. We are talking the whole idea of a captive audience you got those people in the car with you. Why not engage them in a conversation.
Again, we want to hear from you. 866-348-7884 866-34-TRUTH and as always you can find out all about the stock@christiancardi.com there's a wonderful link there to Dr. Straub's website which has all sorts information also to resources his own sermons. It is given to churches and there's videos.
This is an amazing place in the links all their Christian card. I.com as well as always you know that Jesus is labor log free car repair labor for single moms and widows across the country you know somebody in a crisis using the Christian card. I.com there they can find that all the outlets to provide that service and how to sign up for it again, it's Christian card. I.com load Dr. Josh. I guess I monies that you know that great but you're so right that even you know I got a 24-year-old son a 23-year-old daughter Fort Bend and I rarely anymore with the older ones get anything other than a tax. They don't even need you emails that archaic these days, but is archaic is the Postal Service and I would love to have an iodide, you know I got it intentionally say son was go to lunch you know these are adult kids, but it's it's even happen with the younger one so give us some suggestions on how we can use that car to create a captive on yet and I think it's very practical and I think to Stevens. There was Scripture today. Deuteronomy chapter 6 is written for Moses is getting ready to pass the mantle to Joshua he will he is is really teaching Israel how to leave a legacy and any starts by saying hear, O Israel so sweet talking to all believers talking atheist is not talking the believer priest talking to the entire church if you will, and so this goes beyond his parents disclose all of us as a church body in terms of raising the next generation will all called to do that to leave a legacy and he says that he says love the Lord your God with all of your heart, all your mind and all your soul, and he says then he says in these words that I command you today shall be on your heart and you shall teach them diligently to your children now, here's a we get into the Christian card that got because you should diligently teach these to your children now.
First of all they need to be on your heart you have to model them. First of all, and I think that's the first question we need to ask the listeners today whether you're a parent or grandparent or or or you yourself are mentoring the next generation where you at the context of social media. How are you your relationship with social media because I know for me. One thing that I do. I have I've gotten away from and I caught myself doing this, I went to the rental car kiosk the other day and I was looking at my phone to review my emails after I had landed and forgot that there was another human being. On the other side. The kiosk that I needed talk and look at in this is a human being with a story whether we go to McDonald's whether we are going through a drive through, you know picking up a coffee or lunch or whatever the case might be, there are people across from us that we are called to in that moment God is putting people in front of us and we have our noses buried in our phones and in other technology not doing the face-to-face stuff today so I think the first question I want to ask is how you doing, because it starts with my success with me and I've been making some real changes in my own marriage and in my own family to make sure that my kids understand this will principles well yeah my wife is a stickler about you.
Do not pull that cell phone out at dinner. Yeah, I mean it's just absolutely not the case of what a neat concept of just get in the habit of not on your cell phone out in the car.
So you know if there you can never use their cell phone when their child. You know in a car that the cell phone just isn't part of something that they see come out of that's pocket so they know that that isn't something that happens in the car loan. If you're on your cell phone driving down the road. Your kids are watching. Maybe it's a quick email to quick text will justify the whole thing and then you go to teach them when you're 16 years old how to drive a car, and they want to get on their phone, they can say I saw you doing that, we've got a B. That model would gotta be that example also heard side story weeks ago of the worker in McDonald's to she was. She feels lonely. She felt lonely working because nobody would talk to her people go through the drive-through through the drive-through through the drive through and never really truly connect with her because they were either already on their phone or whatever the case would be a course.
It's fascinating. You cannot justify. We want to get through. I think we as Christians need to remember these are people and and we really need to interact with these people and see into their heart. Pride in that man, so this is a live show today from Nashville were a lot American Association of Christian counselors and we want to hear from you. What you might have a question for Dr. Josh were sent talk about how this plays out in your life. I know you got a thought you because 866348788486634 truth now about actually I maybe 15 years ago I was listening to Christian radio on and then I heard a show by Dr. Dobson talking about how little and you probably know the statistics of this how little of father in that day ever said any meaningful words to his children.
It was something like three minutes from you know the date but yet not before you getting this doing that I am excited to hear the story of recent study found that kids today on average spend 38 almost 40 hours a week in front of the screen of some sort and 1/2 an hour of quality time with their dad half an hour. That's recent in a week is not a day right so hope we got a lot of show coming for you. 86634878848664 truth with a lot more Christian card, I shall come in after state you got them there. You got them talking on a cell phone in the bodyguard that texting and from your kids when they are trying to talk to you and so were talking about today on the Christian card I show how about the whole idea of a captive audience. You have them in the car.
This is an opportunity to model what it means to have one-on-one relationships talking I die brain to brain contact not text the screen and always got a thing that we are so blessed today to have Dr. Joshua Straub with us today and he certainly an expert on this really is insurance stuff for your habits of brains and thing because we are live from Nashville, the Association, American Association of Christian counseling's event and there are literally 7000 counselors here and I we had a wonderful time talking to so many different ones away. We found Dr. Josh to help us with this particular subject. Today but you know what we need you to call us at 866-348-7884. We'd love to hear from you. As we were going to the break I mentioned in my own life I heard Dr. Dowson talk about how little time. Now I'm here and it's it's gotten down to 1/2 an hour a week that the ads and again that that's telling you 30 minutes.
You know you do the math that's less than seven or eight minutes a day is kids are getting interaction with their dad's alive or that statistic I at the time was a car dealer as you all know for 35 years and so I have girl time� Work early, early, the more I get home, home, usually until eight or 9 o'clock at night.
I thought wow I'm worst in the half an hour. I don't get Melanie's kids are to be gone before you know it the time my kids were going to a Calvary Baptist day school and I think that when I was in the second grade. One of the first I went into my wife and I said honey I am thinking that we are to change things up and from now on. Nothing else I can get the half an hour drive time to take the kids to school and then 1/2 hour drive time. I'm determined to have some deep conversation so I what we do what we prayed about what we talked about doing was late literally talking. I have a real love for the Scriptures and and I wanted to talk through the Bible was started in Genesis and talk about that and in their view on it have interaction about every single chapter of the Bible and one of the blessings that I will treasure forever with my children with were older than my role in his when my son started drivers education and no longer was being driven to school was when we finished Revelation out time was but I mean it was something we share for all time and I know they know my view of the Scriptures, but I was excited that they develop their own view in their own, you know, hunger and thirst for that but but Dr. Josh you have this whole where you got you got a message from the word that you want to share my thing and I think you and this is what I love about when Moses going back to Deuteronomy 620. Talking to Josh before his passing a mental Josh was talking Israel thing here so really like to the next generation is his love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul, and any citizen and teach these this command should be any heart and teach them to your kids, and here's how he says it he said there's no magic formula.
There's no you know psychological principles to your know how to do this. It goes right back to the Scriptures. You shall teach them diligently to your children number one talk of them when you sit in your house. I consider that. Take a look at that is like dinner time having dinner with your kids in the evening, you shall talk of them when you walk by the way, today's equivalent of that drive time you walk along the way. Share this with you kids when you lie down and when you rise when you rise in the morning before you go to, what are you pouring into your kids. They can give this your two energy they need for the day you were reading Scripture them taken through the Scripture from Genesis to Revelation. These are the times.
What were experiencing our culture today during drive time is with putting technology, DVD players, iPads in front of our kids, and we're tuning them out because this is our quote unquote break for the day. You will how we see it and and what's happening though is is our kids are experiencing more and more and more anywhere from 8 to 10 hours a day in front of us green and it's getting less and less face-to-face interaction with with their parents and with others and I my heart burdens because I'm seeing a generation today that's growing up in them. If you go to an airport or you go to a restaurant you'll see people just buried in their phones and and were really creating a generation. I believe in brain research is showing this to its impacting our ability to be able to relate to other people and also the ability to be able to memorize and reason. Think through information because information is just on these phones.
We don't think we have to memorize it anymore. Think about it and those parts of our brains are literally beginning to dumb down and begin to stop working overtime when we don't use them and so I get really passionate about this.
In that angle and also the angle and I'll set up your own. Your your closing of your show but you know the Bible does say Jesus says blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God and basically what that on the equivalent of that means is if you are pure in heart United see God and and and the pornography epidemic today of of what's happening on the screens and and it's it's getting into our young people's minds blurring their ability to see who God truly is his love and his character because all infiltrating into this technology. I believe the technology is not the problem in and of itself.
I believe it's a goal it's making the fire even bigger. So that's that's kind of my passion today.
I don't think social media, LLC is all bad because I think there's a lot of good things. I think just ways that we need to learn to limit limited and use it for its positive and the cool thing is you've created an acronym to help us remember how we can do this at all has to do with relating work relating yet.
I have an acronym called relate because I believe at the core of all of this relates RELATE and the R stands for respect. I think we've gotta get to a place we respect the technology a few years ago, my wife is Canadian and a few years ago we went to a wedding in Canada and this was while Obama care was taking place right and she and in the course our country was divided should we do Obama care should be not yet even signed it yet.
It was just on the cusp of him signing it and she said to me now in Canada the very pluralistic culture. Everybody loves Obama they love socialized healthcare don't get in any talking about it you know is it's stuck in a well we go up there and and. Turns out I stay with a couple guys in the conversation comes up and that was very interesting to me is he made this comment a guy that I was with this wedding. He said what I love about Americans is there passionate.
He said they stand for what they believe, and he said we live in a culture where were not as passionate politically. As you guys are. And he said laws are being passed. One day what's can happen is we can wake up and when I can do anything about it and I thought of that, and I thought it was very powerful to me and I thought of it in relation to technology today one day working wake up and you think about the amount of time we waste on face book in social media and all that kind of stuff, and in the amount of time reasonably throughout the day when they working wake up and realize how impacted the impact it had on our brains and seem to be too late to be so far Intel you eventually and in relation to fit so I think we need to really learn to affect its power and you had mentioned a lady here lost her cell phone and she immediately had nobody's phone numbers were back in the day. We knew everybody's phone number because we had to memorize it, and we memorize seven digit we all know that seven digits is what brain can memorize so I have my phone number when I was a kid memorized and I mean it's just is there and my wife is gifted and that she can memorize a captive audience yes but you have when you got your kids in the car you got your family in the car you got a captive audience. What a time to have an intentional relationship intentional discussion we are to live today from the American Association of Christian counselors here in Nashville, Tennessee 7000 counselors have been here we've had a chance to meet with so many wonderful folks here with the Truth Network this week and we have got Dr. Josh was traveling this and he is blessing us with a lot of information on how well you know how we deal with this new generation we've got a lot of technology out there and how can we have intentional relationships to benefit our families to benefit our marriages. There is a lot going on but we haven't heard from you yet you got up you got something on your heart. You want to share it. We want to hear from you. 866-34-TRUTH 87884's number to call in 866-34-TRUTH if you're digitally gifted and of course all this information is always is at our website. Christian car God.com and all the links to Dr. Joshua Stouffer's website is amazing the resources there are fantastic. You gotta go, you gotta see what this stuff is and and how you can begin the habit intentional relationship with your family. With this new technology, that is faster than we can possibly imagine.
Again, a solid Christian card. I.com and I would be remiss if I did mention to Jesus's labor love free car repair labor that means folks help us out with the repairs on the labor of the single moms. The widows and families in crisis have the parts but at least it helps a lot.
These prices Jesus's labor love it set part I.com you see that big banner over on the side click on the labor. Love you fill out a request form or maybe you want to be one of our prayer partners you want to get the monies. When these needs come in when she had some serious ones coming this week when it be nice to get an email shown is prayer request to say wow I can pray for somebody even if I don't have the finances. I can you go to bless them some other way. How that works. We need volunteers.
We need people to go out and call on the repair centers to help us get more so was God put on your heart Christian card.
I.com and find out all about that.
Well, we left our hero Dr. Joshi was sharing his acronym on how we can begin to improve our relationships to the acronym as relates and we know that R stands for respect.
But we still got ELA TE ago yeah and he is emotional control how easy it is to when you're on. You get an email you get a tax that somebody mad at you or whatever you just want to shoot that email back and I I just always say this, we need to maintain our emotional control allowing Peter kids this to you know resolving conflict over over the Internet over text messages over social networking to do. That's the face-to-face and indicate emails and text. The fax only because this is 93% of our communication is nonverbal, so only 7% is what you fear and so what were getting when you you get 100% of it so you can read in any attitude that another person has so we got to watch her emotional control. The next one is is their second bite at a so good and I I can just tell you within my own family. My extended family. There's been some serious hurt feelings. Now again they live in different states.
But a phone call, at least you get a little bit more of the of the accused of how the person's feeling in an email that's right at and and so I love that that whole concept of if something is not feeling right there's nothing like get up there and go get an eye to eye with that other employee or with that family member whoever if you can get that the phone is still just hearing their voice and hear the tone of their voice yeah means a big deal.
Execute.
It is huge and I think today to as we talk about this we think about drivetime with our kids.
It's very easy to allow some of the maybe it's small frustrations. Maybe we had a rough time getting out of the house in the morning. We just leave those frustrations and we in our kids get on the iPad. On the way to school. We just do our thing and start thinking through our day. I think those moments are very key moments to be able to just talk through some of this frustration. Think about what is the way during that drivetime that we can get this energy to her kids that they need to get there. They started an end to say you know what drivetime does not include any technology today and they might not talk much. Ask open-ended questions they might keep one short short answer but I'm telling you when you follow the Deuteronomy chapter 6 principle that you talk about this. I'm when you sit in your house when you are in drivetime when you lay them down at night when you also.
The other one is about like you know me right now, but week up in the morning. You know what when you doing all these it's just the simple, day in and day out task. We just have to be relational and I think I how many parents when you listen I got a wonderful job to do a lot of cool stuff parents that pray with her kids at night before they go to bed are blessed their socks off and with what what their kids Hartford crying out to God and so to miss out on that treasure with your kids are little or big or whatever you got out of hearing their heart is a real opportunity and I'm so glad you mentioned that because become a counselor sorts because that is the most vulnerable part of the day is ready for bed and if you use drivetime effectively throughout the day they might not be saying a lot to you. They might be using this one word short answers but I'm telling you there listening and their connected and it will probably pay dividends later on the bed. Later that night. Wow LRF to L when the relate the acronym here, Dr. Sonny, by the way I have is very very gifted individual you've never probably heard it before, but people can call in with anything and he will create immediately and acronym and create a sermon that all along that it would literally blow your mind.
When that I I gotta tell you, so he would love he would be very proud to show today but tell us about what I love relate because I think it is at the core of what were doing here Eliz limits know the limits that you can set and in setting is on its front since I have friends who now may send a Sunday technology fast day is absolutely no technology or phone at all on Sundays putting your phones not sleeping with them next to your bed 83% of millennial's place leap with their cell phones right beside them next to their bed and over 50% of them look at Facebook first thing to do when they wake up in the morning and so setting limits of an end parents.
It's it's important also know what is on the phone there no GPS locators on the phone. You can track where your kids are. You can set texting hours on the phone and if they live under your roof and your paying for it.
You can set the limits and so I just think it's very important.
Just like with cars is a great example when when the court when cars came out first. It we realized it was very important that after the were many accidents maybe a brake system would probably help and then over time we started learning turn signals in light would help as well. And now were at a place today whether airbags because we have nowhere technology is constantly growing in terms of how we can build safety measures into cars because of how they affect and impact our culture and our lives are little physical lives same thing with technology. We have to begin. Because technology is growing so rapidly in its very new. It's in its infancy. We need to begin to set limits, such as airbags and breaks in those types of things in it because it is impacting our relationship.
That is wonderful and I just learned recently that Verizon for example, they have a plan. First, that where you can tell this is when my kids contact even if you want Texan school set the limit.
You know, yet they should be able to do it this in them. From what I understand from kids that are involved they think their phones not working that they made on the preference of government so you can do without conflict.
A a is assertiveness and I think just being assertive and I think this is important for parents thinking about drivetime being assertive in how you understand in order to be understood if the first understand the golden rule just with the word understand our kids will not understand lower coming from. If they first don't feel understood BIOS and so I think it's important that in order to build that understanding. We listen to them, but also that we are creative that were assertive and were intentional and how we feel drivetime I am a friend of mine is that you know what, it's exhausting doing drivetime because I could very easily through the iPad in front of my kids.
I could be thinking about my day doing my thing and zoning to my world, he said, but I study strategic night.
Listen to other parents strategic ways to build, so great example of this is. He says we play the remember one game and and I'll give a brief example of of a moment in time and in my kids have to guess where we were, who we were with when we were there why we were there and and we play the remember when game to build memories and and and create an area that's that's a lot of family law). It takes work.
It does those of the memories that you create can create by being assertive in drivetime that is powerful and I couldn't agree with you more about the TT is all man relates to your own academic bio that I might not doing this here. Well let me go to eat good empathy. The last one because I think it is important TT right now on the heirs. That's good empathy because I think it's important for all of our lives out there and now you know that we loose all the stuff that this relate is in the presentation I did here at the conference. PowerPoint is free download on my web right. Dr. Straub.com Twitter twitter so you can get all this information and all of the acronyms in all and in detail on the website. The reason I wanted. Empathy is because I think this is extremely important. We need we are realizing in our culture today. What's happening is we're creating a generation of nurses who are who are celebrities in their own little world and we are judging our character were judging our self-esteem and self-worth by the number of likes we get on face book by the number of likes we get on Instagram and what other people and comparing what other people are doing on their vacations and their leisure activities and and and it's going all over the map and what were doing as we become and even in the gaming world where becoming celebrities as soldiers or as racecar drivers or whatever. These are the psychological terms of the 21st century and what it's doing is it's creating an inability for our next generation to be able to relate and have empathy for other people and so I think it's important that as we lay out these limits and we respect the technology and we respect our teenagers to and whether coming from that we can use technology in a very positive way biblically to have empathy on other people. We can use drivetime to be able instill this in our kids and hearing stories from others and self, I just I empathy is the ability that to feel bad with somebody sympathies feeling that somebody and I think if we can instill in our kids the ability to feel bad with other individuals, but simply telling stories and talking with them along the way everything I had a long drive to Michigan this week and then drive to Nashville from Michigan so I had plenty of drivetime of a couple friends of mine and one of the of his daughters was in the backseat and she says did you know that the Hebrew word for compassion is a picture of the world, now when you say empathy and I picture that you know when you are talking with your child. If you truly have compassion with. Remember, Jesus had compassion on what you thought when you picture that creating this really saves space because that's where all sorts of cool stuff can happen by giving your kids, grace, and those kind of things but that it mixes in with empathy bear in your get this picture of inside that car is this like womb. Are you craving for your kids to have a safe place to share yeah, and I believe that's exactly. I love that picture because it you're in the womb.
Your safe but and and that's why want to see the word relate to. So he year because we have in order to set these limits in order to respect our kids and with respect to technology. We have to lay a foundation of safety and love. At the core of that we have to model it after Deuteronomy 6 is all about love the Lord your God with all your mind and soul allow this to be on your heart and then instill in your children by doing things drivetime.
It's right there.
Drivetime Deuteronomy 6. Can you believe it got a lot of the word is relates working on the TV as we speak itself. We know it's respect to technology and and and and remind me about either emotional control and control that we are and where we are setting limits. We need to begin to set limits because it's like the same thing with the car where you have like I got the teeth with a set limits because he were not realizing the impact that the negative impact this can have if we don't that limits the T got train the brain train the brain are eyeing the brain because what's happening is, as we are multitasking today you if you're a teenager.
No, there doing their homework on their computer watching TV with headphones on listening to music that is related the TV at all and believe it. Multitasking really does help. Research is showing that it it makes you slower and what you do and we really need to begin this sequential task doing one task. This generation is not trained for that because the gaming the technology is increasing the adrenaline in the brain and so when they go to do homework or they go to read a book. It's very boring to them or when they go to meditate when they go to pray boring because it's not an adrenaline rush the gaming the technology looking at Facebook and seeing all the likes of there getting it were building this up in our kids and retrain the brain so getting them outside play board games go back to the 1950s. In some ways and interact with your kids in a way that engages their ability to reason and think through things and also be able to have hands-on competition at rather than just rote learning reason thought, reason, learning and interaction really does change the brain.

Cry out for discernment, lift up our voice for understanding, and as I was saying this week I was reading George MacDonald hope. And I gotta tell you, if you want just the joy of joys read any of George MacDonald's book, but the hope of the gospel hope of the gospel was the last book he wrote so.
After all those years of his major amazing theologian. He took his Stephanie, compressed it in the one with this one book, but he is talking in Matthew five Blessed are the pure in heart because they see God. They talk about how this came on was owned by London recognizing as her heart wasn't right. Jesus was right, they are but they didn't see him, even the disciples missed part of it because of their heart and how much of I missed is that is the thing that I that I can't help but think about how much of my life.
Do I miss because my heart is right this minute. I'm concerned about the dog would just cut me off in traffic.
I'm concerned about what I'm doing at work and I'm not thinking walking with Jesus and resting of the father's love as you rest in the father's love.
You begin that you know he purifies your heart and you get to see Jesus in some amazing ways. And I gotta tell you if there's anybody blessed of the planet Earth. That would be Robbie no more this week because I got to sit in an interview over 100 Christian counselors in the time that we spent here at for another program.
Tim Clinton's love, faith and family and so we're doing some work from them.
I got to do all the and if you could have sat there and heard the stories in the time and again you the message was similar God has comforted them so they could comfort other and I I have to tell you is one story that III don't know if I'll ever stop crying about this is one man. He was at full-fledged psychiatrist and and I and I promise it will.
A lot of folks are been healed until tell me your story. How is it that God called you this because live became insane. I lost my mind I was when I was young I was doing some stuff I shouldn't. Don and I started to channel some demons of these demons showed up and I said I can handle that and the next thing I know I remember that I wake up in the emergency room I worked up and emerged board and I've lost my mind and I'm totally insane. I begin to think I'm the devil and I think of Jesus and his red light over the mirror. I'm see and save America and it was just horrible mess about. How did God come after you met situation.
This will touch you for the rest till touch me my life is and how did God come after you listen to my wife as my wife came in, she sat down on the bed next to me and the tears were streaming down her face and she said I cannot lose if I have to go insane to be where you are and that's what I need to see God in the picture I made to die to self.
