I think this book in some ways has kind of been that for us because it's – I'm not – it sounds funny and we kind of lightheartedly say this, but it was really scary even going into this process, even after 41 years, because we know we're not out of the woods until we walk into heaven.

And I mean, the enemy is not –

said, hey, yeah, I guess they made it this far, so let's go find somebody else to pick on.

No, it's like holding a beer.

If you want to dance, let's dance.

So going into this, there were moments even early on where I thought,

well, crap, this is really going to be bad that we get, you know, about three-fourths of the way through this project and we have to call the publisher and go, is it a problem that we actually are divorced now?

Is that going to be an issue with this?

You're probably going to, you know.

Exact conversation with my wife.

Yeah.

So, I mean, and that was a real thing.

And yet, I think for,

For me and for both of us, we're hearing ourselves even in these interviews, and we did the audio book for it, which that was even another like, are we going to survive this because we're going to go back through all this and read it to each other?

And I know my wife well enough to go, wait a minute.

I said, can I retract that because I don't feel like that right now.

But it was amazing.

It's been so good to just, I think, hear our own voices and each other's voices reaffirm and sort of confirm the things that are here that are to God's glory, and this is what God's done.

This is what our journeys look like.

We're still in it.
