Like, like, what, what made you think that, hey, we need to take some diapers out?
2:38
Well, we've, we've been, was doing it a lot longer, uh, before we started doing it, um, on a permanent basis.
2:47
But we'd have nurses that would call us in the middle of the night and say that their baby, uh, they had a mother that was ready to go home and she didn't have any clothes, she didn't have any diapers or anything for her baby.
2:59
So we loaded up, and we would load it up and br- take it to the hospital and bring it and give it to the mother.
3:06
But, uh, during that time, we had a, um, chaplain from the hospital came and asked me, said he needed to talk to me, that God was dealing with him, and he needed to ask me if I would do this on a permanent basis.
3:23
And the first thing he asked me was, "Do you want to just to give it to the poor, or do you want to give it to everybody?" And I immediately said, um, "If I can't give it to everybody, I won't give it to anybody," because in that bag we have diapers, wipes, shampoo, lotion, diaper rash cream, a, a Bible with three, three different points of the plan of salvation, and a homemade item.
3:54
So every one of those people that gets that gets a Bible on top of it in, in the, in the bag.
