AI though.

Okay, go on.

You made a comment about, you know, you experience life and then you look back on it.

Yeah.

I think when you have older children, it's impossible not to look back on a number of things.

I think as a young man, you can be very critical of your father and then you become a father and then you become a father of older children and you reflect upon what kind of influence upon the house have I been.

And I thought your comment even around... you know, with daughters and stuff like that, like a hundred percent, like having a son is incredible, having a daughter is incredible, but they both have like different things that weigh upon you.

This is how that's shown up for you and your friendships.

Oh, what a great place to go.

Wow.

Absolutely.

Bula Vinaka.

Bula Vinaka.

Look at you.

That's all a Fijian I know.

[clapping]

Awesome job, guys.

Fantastic.

Hey, we are gonna take a moment.

Just full disclosure, at the end of this service, we are gonna worship like it was your first Summerfest.

So, uh, uh, just get ready for that to happen.

Have you ever experienced something and, and maybe you know someone else, and you're comparing notes on what you just experienced and what you...

[laughs]

Hope this message from Sunday encourages you.

[gentle music] I'm gonna, uh, preach a passage today about what do we do when, uh, the circumstances of our life don't look like maybe what we expected them to look like.

Uh, we are in August.

Can you believe it? We are closer to the Olympic Games than we are to COVID.

Like, how crazy is that for a moment? We are closer to 2030 than we are to 2020, like, which is crazy.

Um, who feels old as I say that? [laughs] Yes.

Um, but it is August already in this year, and I know many of us may have started this year, and there'll be a whole heap of ideas that you had for what this year would look like, and some of us have got a whole range of different experiences to what this year has looked like.
