But, you know, it feels that way.
22:05
I, like, well, right now, for me, God's plan sucks.
22:09
That may very well be the case, and maybe someday I will totally understand that, but that's not helpful.
22:15
That is not a helpful statement at all.
22:18
Because now what did you just do? Now you made me feel like not only am I grieving and sad and feeling horrible that I'm missing my son, now I'm a bad Christian too because I don't think that God's plan is okay.
22:35
So that means that now I'm a horrible Christian.

Mm-hmm.

But once we started the process, it just kind of, it was a roller coaster, but...
9:12
Yeah, even before 1986, though, the idea kind of came up as a joke because Jeff was a home brewer.
9:17
And so we were home brewing up here anyway and enjoying beverages and enjoying beers.
9:23
And so someone suggested it as a joke.
9:26
Actually, it was kind of funny.
9:27
But it was one of those things that kind of like resonated.
9:30
And we were looking for something where, like Jeff said, we could work together and do.

What was it like doing beer archaeology before that was even a thing? Was this involving, you know, going to your library, hunting all this information down? Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

So it was trying to get that little balance.
8:29
But, um, bringing up my little starlight group, I just adore all these women so much.
8:35
So one of them, Holly, we just did an episode for her daughter Peyton a few weeks ago.
8:41
Anyway, they're having a golf outing this week, and she invited our family to go.
8:48
And unbeknownst to me, she made a sign for Andy.

Mm-hmm
9:09
... up to that.
