Uh... [laughs]
18:24
Well, I will say Robin does take most of the heavy lifting from us.
18:28
We do have a couple of assistants that h- that helps, but, but mostly it's Robin.
18:33
Robin is in charge of m- of everything, operations, so that we can run our businesses.
18:39
'Cause when we first got into this, we were like, "We know we all have s- stuff going on," and Robin was like, "Hey, let me just run with this.
18:46
I wanna build the infrastructure, I wanna make this, you know, I wanna see how far this can go," and he's done an amazing job.
18:52
So he does a lot of this, the things that we can't get to every day, and Whitney's blowing up, and she's got this big deal going on, so we don't, we really don't have the, the time to do the little stuff, but we can g- actually go and do the installs and, and participate where we n- we're needed.
20:55
Yeah.
58:55
Okay.

And, and it says, "Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
59:02
God is thy keeper." There are commentaries out there.
59:06
Um, I brought a little one that I have.
59:08
It's called A Lamp Unto My Feet.
59:11
Um, and it, it ta- uh, the commentary, at least on this one, um, quotes, um, Victor Hugo, the, the author of, uh, Les Miserables, and he said, "Have courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones, and when you have laboriously accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in God.
59:36
God is awake." And so when I read that, I thought, that gives a whole new meaning then to that particular psalm.
