Opening Remarks

"Originally it was to be both my wife and me speaking here this evening.  We have developed a sort of tag team preaching on Sunday mornings, and Major Vicky asked us to share that this evening. But our son has a band concert this evening and he's very excited to be there for that, and... my wife's mother and step-father called the other day to say that they would be popping in to see us this evening.  So, I'm very glad to be here with you tonight..."
