Holiday Highway Hazards

Welcome to the Christian car guy radio show talk show dedicated to helping Christians buy and sell cars by the book blue book the orange book, but by God's book, the Bible called the car guy with your questions. 186634218663 for 87884 is being a Christian have to do with buying a car you're about to find out. Here's your host Robbie Gilmore hi good morning and welcome to the Christian card already in show. I'm not Robbie Gilmore, I'm Jerry Mathis with Ray's body shop and wrecker service.

Robbie is away this weekend is at a men's retreat at the part about it in the dangerous heart men's retreat think is when the speakers think every speaking this morning so will make sure we lift them up in prayer and was certainly going to miss Robbie this morning got a lot of things to cover this morning a lot of conversation. Don't forget this is a call-in show would love to hear from you number is 1-866-348-7884. Also, this morning Robbie may not be here, but I have during the wet joining us this morning Darren good morning morning Jerry doing well and little bit about yourself. Well, I own a automotive paint job restoring the try in the Triad area. We sell PPG on motor finish paint to some of the collision centers out here since about 2004 and it would have stores and I mean I know you're not, you know the Winston market because you supply us with paint yet yet we have we have a story on S. Main St., Winston-Salem. We also have a our Greensboro location is in off of Randleman Road there in the middle of Greensboro, North Carolina, and we also have our Burlington store, cover the whole entire try it out here and in one of things I think we use on the show months ago we talked about is the fact that you don't do-it-yourselfers yell can be a great resource for that correct yeah what we get, especially yellow our Burlington market. We get a lot of people that come walking into the store, weekend warriors, and in software. They got some this kind of mixed on their cars or anything that may want to get some knowledge on what they can do to beautify the car little bit instead of just doing a little dab's pain that you get sometimes in the auto parts stores also but no way to make the car you know just look like they did when they bought a brand-new and ask a lot of questions on upkeep and never saw that on the appearance of the car with waxes and in carwashes and stuff like that and you know we pride ourselves on untying the timeout and that we love for people coming our stores and ask these questions and know what you know all my employees love to come to share their knowledge that they've learned and explained the customers, what they can do at home because it's amazing what what all you can do it at at your house yeah and that's one of things we encourage people to do specialness radio show is that go out and seek counsel humming find people that know the business go to body shop and we have people to walk in on a daily basis who will have just a simple question going to do it themselves.

Just need some advice in the same thing you go to that local body shop somebody you trust.

Two things it also builds up a relationship with them and you start the libido you know comfort with VM and they also know you and is the same thing with the supply come you mean I'm sure you can you you can buy touchup paint from every little corner store almost but Deming there is a difference. Yeah it's yeah because others there's there's plenty of ways that you noted to maintain your vehicle and everything that but you really do want to instead of you can get a lot of resources off the Internet, but it really is good to to stop into one of the stores are like set a body shop or collision center in your area because all those people are very, very friendly, and the other the they love imparting the knowledge on vehicles and in to try to explain kind of what you can do at home to help you know keep your car looking, you know, it's best and in maintaining it so that it runs its best and you get the you the most out of your car absolutely and you and you know that thing is if you go to a shop or or score and you're not willing to help you pay what when you need their service to be the ones I mark off my list because it's, you know, it just sort of gives a little bit of the character of that business it exactly.

I you know it's especially when you get into an accident or some of that unit, even if you've gone into the paint store because a lot of guys you know that there were a light relay on their are rely on their insurance companies and everything that but when you go into a paint store and suffer that they're the ones actually deal with the body shops. Also so so you can guess if you're doing some research on on on your vehicle, which is you know.

Next, your house is your second-largest investment financially. You know it's a it's a good idea to to stop and talk to them in they can impart knowledge on on who in the area is you know a really good quality body shop for you. Also, to give you some more information that both your insurance agent and the insurance company also give you so it kinda gives gives a good knowledge base to seek yeah and it goes back to two times since that building up relationships and that's one so important I think to you dealing with insurance is that have an agent that has our company that has an agent that you can go to the front to the front door and sit down across the desk from women and get you know answers to questions you may have and get advice and step because, as you mentioned your automobile was a huge investment and if you get a poor repair.

How mean it's not a good steward of your money, that's for sure. Yeah and and and unfortunately a lot of times and in our industry because we have a lot of great products and everything that we also have you know different levels of products per se, and so a lot of times guys you know though will go out get the car fixed and then then we've seen consumers come in where they didn't buy the paint from us. They didn't. You know they had no activity in the process they just brought it to a guy to get painted. They come in and incidents I will my car is just looks horrible now.

After about, you know, six months down the road you know what happened and so we you know so when you have those different levels of products.

A lot of those issues don't unfortunately show up until yell six months a year down the road and by then it's you know it's kind of a little a little too late and you wind up doing the repair over again. Basically, yeah.

And in the paint process. I mean we been in the business raise body shop next summer's been in business since 1964 and early only my father started the business. My father, my mother coming up was get out of school and decided that was the industry I wanted to go into was I wasn't I was a painter. I love paint and and I love the making that car look look like new again, and you know it does play into it what you just said it.

She knows that that that type of material you use and use and you know I'm not saying I love PPG but also I know you know if this major leading brand of premium brand you can get a good quality product on the car and that people don't always factor that unit trying to save a little bit of money in an and and shops are even trying to save money know that's not always the smartest thing today correctly and in and that's the main thing is is is another branding out there.

Your your your PPG which is what we sell all but you also got a DuPont out there. He also got WSF and and and ask no balance of those are your major paint lines that you know they're there involves basically with the LEDs with the original equipment like your GM's and stuff I that so so they got better documentation. They got better.

You know that if they've invested the money into into making the boat the product a premium quality product that's gonna last her car lifetime. You bring up a good point get back to this is the fact the relationship than a paint company has with the manufacturer and also we come back from the break in a few moments when the things I'm going to start talking about it is the work moving into the season where people going to be needing body shops and needing paint repair and major collision just because of some of the hazards that you run into on the road this time of the season that you may not necessarily run into throughout the course of your main no couple weeks ago Robbie did show his talking on texting and driving in those then and the dangers of that and actions that they calls me that's a huge concern not only for that driver that may be with the Texan away, but also those that he's coming in contact with coming up the road because there is chance been come in real contact with them in a you think about that you think about just the use of cell phones. I mean, anything you do that takes your your concentration from that job that you have in your behind the wheel that's driving the vehicle because of so many other things going on. I mean, you think about it. You've got there this time of season is dear to me and asked that is a concern for everyone when you're out on the road and step because of one thing. This is the mating season for them and their out moving around this past week we've had six cars towed into our shop that were dear hits and you know the thing is then hit a low dear. I mean, some of the damage is just what you going shops have you seen the same thing is some huge damage that deer can always vehicle yell at the deer, especially the deer population the way it is. I mean it has been. It has it that is one of the major hazards on the on the road today because you like anything they they seem to come out of nowhere and you know you're driving down the road at 4050 miles an hour and you hit a you know 500 pound animal that stands about the same height as you that's that's not a good thing for you or your vehicles will come back and talk about a few other things. I mean from that from the dear hits from just the hazards that are laying on the road.

Also getting the ICCs and snow on the ground and that has a second things we can do to make sure that we are not in the body shop sooner than we have. Welcome back to the Christian talk radio show, once again, this is only for 87884.

These were talking about those road hazards and in the deer is certainly a huge road hazard, but you know all of that stuff going on.

As we mentioned, you know with the Texan and been on the cell phone your those in impede your ability to be able to watch for those I mean even though they seem to come out from nowhere. You have to be a defensive driver at all times. Yeah, it's an especially this year's were talking the break yet.

I said the deer population was down but we have seen very high increase in in dear hits this year and especially when you're driving at dusk so that seems to be really the main main times of of getting hit just because the deer are very very active right there in the evening and your eyesight cistron you know that the kind of dark but not quiet. Your headlights are on but it also makes it really, really difficult road conditions at that time and and when you throw in and live animals and it just you deftly have to be on the defensive side this time a year and then you know we also you talking about the things that that that that hinder you from being able to conduct driving the vehicle.

you know the texan and then the cell phones but also you know this, season is that big temptation is getting behind the wheel and i not and i pray that none of our listeners or any of that do that is getting behind the wheel after drinking correct. yeah, that's no any anytime of that. you deftly want if you're going to go in and have some drinks or anything of that in and everything that's ever been a danger both yourself and two other people, definitely, definitely you not have someone have have your keys now. maybe it be the one whose aggressor of nevada.

make sure that you see somebody make sure you take those keys from because as we mentioned, i mean that's anything that that you can do that for been an accident, but you want to do and you been drinking get behind the wheel mean that's just foolishness and mean there's no excuse for that. i'm just too many other options you call a cab.

you can call up the tow truck to come get you. you can call a friend you can have all that arrange before you do, because this time of season. as we mentioned, you know, with all the christmas parties and thanksgiving parties new year's parties and get-togethers that temptation is there and and and just and just just make sure you you want the one who's responsible for somebody else's life because of the foolish mistake you've made it exactly analogous said. those of us that that don't drink, you know it's it's it's our is also our responsibility in ophir. you know, in one of those parties are in combat. if you see when their coworkers or your friends or if i that you know that's that's why you like old friends.

he looked out for them in and make sure that they're not a danger to anyone on the road absolutely take those keys from him and and and then back to some of the dangers on the road. you will get of the season. also, where you got word about the black eyes the snow coming when i really haven't it in north carolina yet or more in the piedmont area of north carolina but is just around the corner and i know there's listeners already dealing with the snow and ice on the road and you have just got to be you nurse take every precaution you can when you go out. another thing that that just sort of a pet peeve of mine.

i see people going up and down 40 who have got the car covered in snow or ice and have this little bitty hole so to chiseled out on the windshield where they can look there's like a little bitty peephole or something that can make how dangerous cannot be you.

that and you've got the ones that don't clear the top of their vehicle specially is where were at. we get a lot of ice storms and so you'll get that layer of ice kind of on top of that the roof of your car and a lot of people don't you know don't take time to clear that offer or scrape it off anyway or anything like that and as their drive down the road you're done. i know unit you driven 40 and i think most people cold-weather states of seeing this is when you're coming down the road and you often see that big huge sheet of ice fly off the front end of the car in front of the unit it goes high up in the sky and you can just see it coming right at your vehicle. yeah, i mean that's one thing you did first thing is that reactions to try to miss sitting which is dangerous to do but is just the being a defensive driver you know another thing that sort of people don't think about this time of year is leaves. yeah, i mean leaves on the side of the road where you're having that beer away from him, but also when you hit those things if they is damp weather or so early in the morning when dave got some frost on is like eating nice exactly yeah that's you know we we get that in our neighborhood a little bit after a rainstorm or if that day.

later, you think that everything is dried out and she just kind of fun away, but it acts just like a coat of ice in you tap on your brakes a little bit. next thing you know your you can be spinning out, we just had a car in this past week you came in for an estimate and schedule for repairs that went into a parking lot that had leaves when they pulled into the space where the laser been blown from the grass in the area. step it was early in the morning to just leave them right into the car beside me. it was just like all know how that happened. i mean in a got out and they say, when i stepped on the leaves. i felt how slick they were. something just don't think about a lot time sue. they also cover up you know the potholes that are around and stuff that'll that'll you know when you get them no damages your tire.

make sure alignment messed up to where you get a new alignment on your car so your tires don't continue to wear out its nose leaves actually can be very dangerous and you know you sit and you think about other things that that that you really don't realize are dangerous in a hazard on the road to you run up on a mess where it's so important to make sure that your concentrated know what you're doing when you're behind that will is you know there's a kind of bikers i mean… this only motorcycle but who will pedal and bicycles for scenario scout with that's got to be a trend. it even during the colder months there there in the winter gear and there out on the roads rotten and now with the getting dark so early. a lot of ride to work and then they're back on the roads writing back home in this dark, it is hard to see them so you just really had to be you know aware that there on the road in your sharing the road with them and in the other piece is mopeds have their just there's kind of them on the road and you just really need to be aware that there there and that you having to share the road because it is an opportunity for an accident yeah get back to the bicycle of bicyclists and cyclists out there. i know exactly what you're saying on that because i was driving home two nights ago and it's 530 and going to turn into my street. next thing i know there's a cyclist coming up.

you know, come the opposite direction. in it it'd been dark and yes is there peril wasn't you know reflective is as it normally would be from the front of him so and ida. you know, put on my brakes on it right away and in letting go, he'll let them go by obviously and you and i just got a waved and apologized but it's it's one of those things where you don't realize that sometimes and especially with lack of bike lanes out there and i know greensboro's kind of in our area.

they're doing you know some some interesting work on making bike lanes on the on the roads to kinda help some of that but but when you don't have that you're on nightlight country roads and stuff like that. you deftly gotta keep your eyes open this this time year with the getting dark. you know earlier yeah you know. and the thing is, you just your mind and your eyes are used to just just just focus on that. so it's almost just sneaks up on you and all the sudden there's a somebody on a bike right in front of you and it is a hazard pay attention to get back with talk a little bit about automotive paint and how that relationship works with manufacturer automobile manufacturers and also the pipe manufacturers there will house in question that i get in when people come in for an estimate on the vehicle.

one of things to last for is i want to make sure will you be using on the pain or for yoda paying our gm paint or or whatever that vehicle may be me was that was the story behind that in and also the right relationship.

as you mentioned earlier on this was a little bit about the investment that paint companies put into to their products and stuff that the premium lines and went up a bit about more. what that means. yeah, basically because we we get this question also by just guys that just come in off the streets and everything in and want to work on their car they they ask for, you know, i've got a toyota you know can i get some toyota paint and you know, so we we can't go through the explanation because that the with a lot of misconception is that there mean there really is no such thing as toyota paint gm painter anything about what that is is you got your your your main paint companies such as ppg. ppg and dupont. i think representing the largest presence within the plants that they actually make the vehicles in ppg, for example.

basically what they would do is they sell the pigment the paints to the car companies the car companies actually pick out the color that targeted that they want their car to be. they go to the paint companies and say okay this is what we want the makeup of formula, and then it actually goes into production where that that color than get sprayed on that car mechanically. it's a good thing and a bad thing sometimes and in our industry, but i am going to try to try to match that finish and you know in the aftermarket history in the body shop and collision centers are trying to match that that finish that's also part of what that that the problem are the the obstacle or the hurdle that the paint manufacturers have to have to get over is to be able to have it where they can make sure that that matches able to happen. yeah, exactly. in the end that's where a lot of the investment comes in on on these on the paint companies with their premium products because you know even that was mechanically painted. not everything is going to get covered the same way depending on on the assembly line and and how it's operated in everything that you know planting in in alabama might be totally you know have a totally different process than plant up in michigan as far as the waiter sprang the vehicle so sometimes you'll get variances in color. basically, ill be so. so what ppg does in and what other of the premium paint companies do is they'll have a primate, which is what the car company originally set stated that that's the color that they want, but then they've got people on staff at these plants that actually as the cars come through. they will ship out the vehicle or take pictures of the vehicle with their cameras and everything like that spectrometers in all these fancy gadgets that they that they have access to you to measure color but they will you know they put in the that the hard work of of getting the different variances of those cars out there and what what that does is they they implemented into the paint line that that we sell into the to the collision center so like your your machine on in your shop you've got access now to all of those different variances of those vehicles. so when you get a car coming and if you get a toyota or chevy or anything that comes in your shop. you know you have, you know, because you're using the premium paint you've got, you know, the ability to match that color and you probably if you use and premium pay, you probably have the that the type of pain that was accurately put on that. yeah, real quick when you you mentioned that about that now make alternate colors and stuff and probably the biggest fear of propane or is when he goes into punches in that color code at the computer, get ready to do the mixing of thing and it comes up with 12 or 13 alternate site mean that is it's it's mindnumbing and it's it's it's very very difficult and and that's one of the reasons why i truly think the painters in our industry there there really artists you know they need to look the other. they need to know color and and and i think we do a good job of of getting of teaching our customers.

you know the different colors where they get pushed you in the color spectrum and everything like that but it is real quick what the director but also you when you mentioned, that is, is that the painters be an artist and stuff is is a bank you may want just mention this, mitch. it is the fact that you go to a shop to make. you know, make sure they have painters that are qualified in it been trying to that because like you say when you pull it up. it's got 1213 variances are three or four variances. they have to have the ability to be able to distinguish which one is and be the one this and be the best match for that vehicle and and how it needs to be put on because you just at the type of pressure that the number of codes in and the type of sealer underneath it in and so forth changes the color of the vehicle correct jan and and likes it ppg. i know it had they done a great job with their software being in the plants look like they are there able to sit there and say okay this is the color of undercoat that was on the vehicle so this is so based on that this is you know that the variant that should you know that you should use in order to you know to make that your color match that the rest of the vehicle, but as as we all know the there are, you know, when you have 1213 yell some of them are 15 to 20 different shades of that color you really need to know. based on that, because everything is is done off of the prime basically. so when you know color. it gives them the opportunity to do it when they look at those formalists to know okay where is where is this color going to so i can you know make you know get this car to match in and make the customer happy. ultimately, that this that's the bottom line what you want to do in any collision shop. i mean at least you would hope so would be to make sure the last thing you know that the one thing the sun stand out in any repair on the nearest unit. a lot of things are going to repair the vehicle but the one thing that a customer are just an individual walks up on is the finish of the vehicle you and s. that's that first impression and and is that a good match and and stephanie goes back to using a premium paint having trained technicians had the go-ahead habitability needed to do the job right yeah because you know what i'm i'm always amazed at how much the collision center actually does as far as the hard work that they put into it.

you know, making it the making that that end product look like it's a brand-new car again.

you know to to make the customer happy because their times i've seen painters you know even even when you know color you know sometimes you still need to do a spray out where they'll do just a little bit yellow mix up a little bit of the color to in the mill, put it on the vehicle or what you know and and match it up that way just to verify that there there get the right color and icing painters you know where you know some of these colors on today's cars because as these manufacturers are going more and more into custom colors almost the other. you know they're having a mat is it's getting harder and harder to match and so they're doing more more spread out. so there there labor intensity into that is just i just find it amazing someone you know sometimes and be unity.

almost have to be a chemist and… computer nerd and everything else to be a painter. i mean like like prior shop you know we have a intermix system we mix the paint. we have all the software and everything and then the support we get from your company and step makes that job. where were able to put product back out pre-accident condition, but you've got to have all those tools and the goes back to that relationship that the manufactured paint manufacturer has with the car manufacturers and that that spending the money and and the resources of the time that make should have at product yeah and in life. so that's that's one of the reasons why the. the premium products are as expensive as they are because they you know your basically you know you you know when when you're buying that premium product you can feel assured that in a lot of energy and a lot of work is been put into those products to make it perform to last a lifetime of your vehicle goes and then likes it is second biggest investment. most of us will ever have is that vehicle when and also you know you think about that. the finish of a vehicle, you know, that also is not only just for appearance and look it also protects that vehicle mean it is this. also, you know it it it keeps rest from etching in there. then you need a good paint owner to solid paint is not a chip easier. you know or allow this time year we get solomon wrote the hn under the refinish of the vehicle and stuff so this also serves not only just look good but is also a protectant yeah then that's where are you know clear coats you know come into come into play in a lot of these vehicles also is because everything pretty much you print every vehicle now is as got basil clearcoat on it. so not only do we have to get that the paint right you know that the color right. we also got a put on a clear that's going to protect that color from the uv rays of the just the sun from either making it fade out, and then you're back to having a lighter area of her pay her thin than what you and you had before the accident, but you know it's and that's where a lot of the the different clears come out on the market with the premium clears that that are out there that's that's where your your main difference is going to be as is that uv screener within the product in order to to keep the color you looking vibrant and then another piece of it is you know we center you look at cars you see what manufacturers are doing with cars. i mean you can go to any lot new car lot and you'll sit there and you'll see for those cars when you're sitting side-by-side.

i can see a difference in the color when thereupon i can't really see them in this is not unusual to have six or seven whites in in a four car line to have it out to me on this end of it wet.

sure makes it, but then i can understand you know it's it's all about trying to sell that vehicle that that curb appeal. yeah exactly and in with the color trends that are coming out and in the different technologies that are coming out with paint. i mean there's what there was, what a lot of years when lottie of the colors that you see on the vehicles today. i mean that they weren't even thought of.

back in the and even in the 90s that they were they were the custom jobs the know and that now you get these pearls in these color shifting pearls on these on these oe cars now and in that's a standard now so it's it's it's it's kind of amazing. the evolution of how color and and the pain has progressed from lacquer which you know a lot of people still love i still love you know first for the old cars and everything that but to your acrylic enamels to acrylic your things out of basil clearcoat's that the progression has been has been amazing now and in you know when you get this transit you sent a lot of the pain we put on now was considered custom paint job.

the time with the pearls and the candy colors and stuff that's factory finishes now then also you get those trends always somebody would be when you said about trends and step makes me think about that.

the trend at one time in custom colors and is something that i have never really god is the chameleon colors is at the be the ugliest things that have a lot had maybe think about that. i had one a few weeks ago came in and out and i don't mean you know what you doing this to him but they were popular for a while then there still of the segment that that like a man. sometimes these trends can never put someone you because you can just wash off the service had to live with.

yeah. and i have to defend the chameleon color little to do like the color touch this writer think you had a call that i don't think about it yet. you know i am in my younger days, maybe, but now it's in chameleon has come a long way because i will agree. i did not like the chameleon colors when they first came out because they had that bronzing effect. you know so that when they came out with that the pearls of them, which is, whether using a lot of today's paints it has such a hard color shift now doesn't do that bronzing effect that copper look or something like that. it just makes it it dissolves and makes it sharper. i think now, but all over car with me and i can night. kindly but you know it goes back to the to the main thing was talking about is the fact that you note if you own a vehicle wanted indonesia collision repair. note a big part of that is that initially goes on that car and and that's wanted you know. ask those questions. make sure that the shop you're going to go mean we we put an investment in in in paint making sure it's you know what it can duplicate the fact refinish our preaccident condition to make sure the shop summit's plan is shops in this country that that are better able to do that in no willing to do that.

i want to do that. so just just asking. also the importance of having technicians that have had training that that know what to look at because, as we mentioned, you sit there and you pull up and it's got all these variances you don't have some type of training to understand color schemes and and and tanning and staff mean is difficult to to replace that finish yeah and in one of things that they can do a consumer can do when the when there looking at body shops and collision centers is is to look for their certificate us or certifications consulting companies have them. if you've sent you know you've sent your your all your painters in all your people to our schools. the pg classes and ever though that they get documentation and i and i encourage collision shop.

you know when you get those documentations present them in in in the shop is that that that that answers just a lot of questions that the consumer can have just walking in that they know that this is a quality shop that takes him that takes pride in what they're doing and and is is doing the best practices to get my car looking like it did preaccident condition. have you know this but i am a master technician with ppg once again be right back and take a moment we wrapping the show talking about stopping just get stop and see where you're adding a wall with life and where god is that you have been wondering [a christian talk radio so little bit about no way in life and wrap it up.

lori said back about to go my daughter just started liberty university. her first trip back to school on her own inner core. we packed her up had a gps set and she heads off greensboro to get 29 had met lynchburg liberty university been gone about 30 minutes.

i get the most frightening call at the time because i do know what it was all about. answer the phone and it was mama wiper at my mother's house visiting happened to be in. it was tyler and she was in tears because she got to greensboro and if you're familiar with that there is this split the old 40 new 40 split and for some reason or gps didn't bear her off to the right and so next thing she knew she had no clue where she was at. i mean she's like her mother when she directions aren't and take her outside, walk, run house three times in get her loss but she was absolutely lost and was in a panic and there was no possible way, no matter how much i talk to and try to find out where she was at and how to get her back where she needed to go, so will have ended up having to do a mean we got in our car and drove to greensboro and us a picture four-way flashers own, and i want to get on the old 40 and i'll find you. so, a founder gutter bears, where she needed to go, but i she followed us all the way up to 20 now we got a reasonable we turned around and came back, but that reminded me that story always reminds me of the fact that where we are in our walk this past couple weeks ago won't our daily bread. there was a devotion in their that they just hit home with that story and i want to go ahead and read it and if you're not sending my sunday school class tomorrow morning. you can hear this again because that's what brought it all up on some sort of teaching on this is one of things i want to bring up during that time, but it starts out with gps is is the latest way for travelers to find their best route to their destination but my husband. i still navigate the old-fashioned way with maps. since jay is usually the driver the role of the map watcher's mind. by default, in general, i am not directionally challenged but it seems that way when i try to navigate. while the car is moving, even though i know where i will only end up. i can't figure out the best way to get there if we don't stop and find out where we are.

i need to get my bearings. this can be true for our spiritual life as well. we try to figure out the way god wants us to go we need to stop and get our spiritual barons. if we don't, we will likely end up in unpredictable places unintended places and situations and relationships that we don't want to be in no asset there, and i read that devotion is stuff you remind me of how jesus you know with the disciples arming the perfect example you look at look at in john where jesus says to the disciples, you know, just to stop. one thing you don't don't don't judge people just just concentrate on me and i'm the way to the father and then even to the end of in in john and in john 2027. you know jesus was the that that's where he has the encounter with thomas is you know thomas put your fingers in the holes that were the ones in my hand, though sometimes we need to stop and get those spiritual barons of st. it was as disciples they been walking with jesus.

sometimes jesus just had to say stop and that's what we are also in life and we get so tied up in all the things that we may think are important.

all of the you know our jobs and and and and trying cater to other people and be different things to other people when we lose focus on what god's purposes in our life and no matter what the gps is, no matter what the maps say if we don't know where.

whereat were never going to know the direction to get us where we want to go and and for me.

i mean, that's a struggle i have all the time. i mean is i have to sort of slow down and know where where god is is got me where my right now with my wall.

what is the important things, then i can make sure that i know the path to where i want to go and once again it's been great having darren in here this morning darren wears a stores at once again just give mccall think of facebook page, yet we were facebook sellers it so if you have any kind of questions as a resource. once again been a great show. this morning we missed robbie help me set up right morning and will have a great weekend. see you back next week. once again christian cars already also go on the website and look and see if you can help out with jesus, a labor of love. if you need that service is links there to be able to fill out a form to be able to get service, but also if your provider get on their we need plenty of help many people join our team, service providers, prayer teams, people calling in helping sort and in arranging things once again have a great weekend. tomorrow morning, hope that each and every one of you in the church somewhere you're listening to the network and truthnetwork.com
