What's really meaningful is that you brought things to me and some of the most meaningful gifts didn't really cost a lot of money, but they were very, very thoughtful. And all the way down to, and again, this is so second nature to you, but there are how many... anniversaries of something do you think that you would remember about me if you were just kind of following in your normal routine?

Yeah, quite a few of them. Quite a few, right?

And I don't have anybody else that would do that. And there's nothing manipulative about it because I really don't have anything to give you. All we have is the opportunity to do things together. And when you started... treating me well. We had no strategy together. There was no... There were just two people in the same town that kind of had a common faith, but nothing else.

And so, that to me is what I'm trying to bring out. And I feel like I'm way undervaluing what you do, but you... You meet with people. You find out what they care about. You find out what's going on in their life. You document it. And the next time you're there, you will ask them about it. You might bring them a book about it. You might have a gift that has something about it. And it's consistent.

And I would say that's true, too. Like, so long before I knew your family, you know, I was 22, maybe 23, graduated from college. I was a new follower of Jesus and kind of felt called to ministry, but nobody was calling. Right. So I took a job with Honeywell selling security systems.
