Yeah.

Remember, I don't know what happened to my brains, you know, but I remember being across the breakfast table from my Grandma Hanson and one of my uncles, and I would be talking to them, talking to them, and they would just be smiling and listening to me talk, you know, and it never occurred to me until much later, you know, what that was like, you know.

But there were a couple other...

cornerstones in my life that made me who I was.

Perhaps the third one, I didn't say a second one, but as a young Christian, you want to be as Christ-like as you can.

You want to, I mean, you're a new person, you want to emulate or emulate.

One is burn, one is copy.

I don't remember which one.

Me neither.

Yeah.

But you want to emulate Jesus Christ and be as much like him as you can.

And I was reading the Bible, and I think I was about 12, 13 years old, and I came across a verse in the New Testament.

Luke...

And it talks about Jesus.

He was 100% God and 100% man.

Had to be God or he'd be a sinner just like us.

And he had to be man to represent me.

I'm forgetting where I'm at.

seeing the um age 13 you're reading the bible it goes like this and and jesus grew and waxed in wisdom and stature in favor with god and man and of course the word wax means increased and increased and and i i was really captivated by that verse it said jesus was perfect in four different areas if i'm going to emulate him

i should be also in those four areas which so often in christianity and spiritual things we think of just the spiritual which says and jesus grew and waxed in wisdom and stature and favor with god and men and so i i was looking at that as a young teenager he was perfect physically
