Southern Adventist University

That is a Friday night presentation, so that might not be as Adventist-friendly.

But I also have an event in Ultawa, which, as you may know, is right next door to Southern Adventist University.

And I will actually be co-presenting there with a woman in Rachel Williams Smith, who is the dean of the communication program there, who I've known for several years.

She and I got acquainted actually a few years ago.

In Jesus' name, Amen.

In the words of Charles Dickens, who penned this now well-known phrase, "We are living in the best of times and in the worst of times." You know, after we dropped off our son, Elijah, at College Hall at Southern Adventist University, I soon realized that college days in 2026 are very different than they were in 1994 when I was a freshman at Southern.

Later came to find out that Elijah was assigned the same wing, the same floor, the same hall where I was over 25 years ago.

But it would-- we soon came to realize is that with video calls, FaceTime, with texting, with social media, and on and on, times have changed [laughs].

Now, Kirbit Kayatha... was a city that was reported about in national geographics.

And this city was a city that was excavated in 2011 by Southern Adventist University team.

And when they excavated it, they had to excavate 200,000 pounds or 200,000 tons of stone.

I mean, it was just an amazing excavation.
