Thank you for having me while it's great to have you here and and I guess I can officially say if a fellow northerner write this well that's right I hear from Jocelyn I IM Siberia Minnesota yeah as soon ha ha I think is a lot: Syracuse but usually easy things: Syracuse, then Minnesota.

I don't know I mean you you have more cold. We have more snow. I think 9 feet average for the October to like me still presently 9 foot average average 9010 feet.

Can you believe that I feel like a as a kid growing up like we had that like overnight keep you here maybe got you beat in the snow. Are you selling me here what's gonna go for little handle for Elliott but I do remember like really like for real.

I do remember and I vividly remember Willow within a 24 or 36 hour. I mean we we would have to do foot that 30 inches of snow and in one snowfall so we are probably pretty competitive with Jan and and it was cold. It was like with the windchill, Minnesota man. There were some some -3040 below zero days. It is a get that cold in Syracuse only once in a while that's okay, that's it. Rare moment. Okay, so maybe more snow for you more cold for that now and I went to school Morehead Minnesota write up on the Fargo North Dakota border and those Canadian wins in the wintertime would fly across the countryside thereto, and what if you've never been to North Dakota is not is not really hilly is IME. So those witnesses would whip down in who you want talk? Cold days going to class and Morehead State University.

If that is in America I mean is a it is it's right at the Russian border. Yeah, actually. People asked all time and I know can you earn up and added wrestling fan or follower, but my first partner Ivan coal off the Russian bear is likely she really from Russia. Only one he was closer than I was in Vancouver Canada is much closer to Russia than than than the Russian night mare… So Syracuse New York bushel born Brad born and raised in New York, that's right, that's right. Spent most your life there until you finally saw the lightning came to that wonderful self. That's right, North Carolina. We thought about it for my wife and I thought about it for many years we've been married 40 years and we said you know what if we get to that point where we go, you know, maybe there's retirement on the in the picture.

Let's do it in the South and wears nicer and warmer.

Jesus showed a real sign of wisdom right there.

Yes, I'm thinking that my mom rest her soul as she lived to be 93 and I get to how many times I got to visit her and she complained about the snow or the colon likely you know mom you have.

You have the liberty to movie women moved to little Kellogg is pretty nice that you and I happens to live there, but she did her whole entire life. She would complain about an unlikely mom you choose to live here so that you have no room to complain about how cold or how much snow there is an x-ray so so so I know it was you grandchildren essay as I've gotten to know you and in some your stories your grandchildren. That was the part of the biggest inspiration you moving from north to south. That's right yet we have four children and five grandchildren now and when they started to gravitate toward North Carolina. In fact, this this area near Kannapolis.

We said it's time that was in 2020 at the real height of 2020 pandemic. We said it's time to move and we step out in faith and took that to be a plunge in the sense in for 40 years of congratulations by the way of 40 years of marriage.

That's a milestone in my wife's a saint. So that helps it well at the age of the saint in the center is an error that you now that what's her name. Lisa Lisa Jesus these other villages from Virginia but you know okay okay okay so the meat in college know she's from the DC area, so maybe people don't think of that is South, but it is below the Mason-Dixon line. Technically yeah after she became a Christian in. She moved to our area to live with her sister and then started attending the same church I did so we met in a Bible study. There while College career Bible study while very very cool okay and always you hear all these years later so that's that's amazing. And and and I know you came to the South you quote unquote retire from ministry and people have to go and listen to the man up should interview you and Pastor Jeff James and gave the full story.

But how you thought you were going to retire but but God had a different plane and that's right, the last church ministry.

We planted a church and then we merged with another church and that was about four your process that merger it actually moved me to write a book about it.

America merger and I think after all of that.

I was kinda ready for a break. And God gave me that three months often in the first church we attended day to visit like a we need a home to go be fed yes is sinister and not be the lead. You know, and that was in Kannapolis and got open the door and that's were village chapel village chapel let us now that is what your website my village chapel.com my village chapel.com and you have a book.
