It has been a joy over the past couple of years to get to know your leadership, Sam and Brian, and for all the opportunities that we have to renew that friendship at times like these.

They'll often come down to the Kingsport area where we have the opportunity to gather up here, and it's always a special time.

It's always a joyful time.

So it's a blessing to be with you.

It's a blessing to be asked to do such a thing as 500 years before the Reformation.

I will be completely transparent.
