Hey, good morning everyone. Your moment of yes for Monday, November 17th. I keep jumping ahead when I do these. I keep listing them as December when it's November. November 17th. Your moment of yes for today is— so Hollister and I were like co-facilitating an online church service yesterday. And like every— there's like 6 sections and every section from the Bible started with rejoice or praise or sing aloud. And it was just cool. It's like, yeah, it's like how often in the Bible, right, there's, you know, we talk about singing, praising, rejoicing. And as a starting point, right? And often people that are singing, praising, and rejoicing were living in brutally difficult times. And so there may be some of you watching this who are maybe going through some struggles of your own right now. And what if our starting point was sing, praise, rejoice, gratitude, celebrate, right? This is hard. What I'm going through is hard, but I'm gonna bring a sense of like, I'm still alive, right? Can I bring life to this situation? Can I bring love to this situation? Can I bring healing to this situation? Sing, praise, rejoice. And so as we start off our Monday, let's start off the week with rejoicing, with praising, with singing, with bringing that joy and love, as simple as a smile, as simple as a hello, as simple as a, man, all right, I like those shoes. Whatever it is, my kids make fun of me all the time for, I guess, being an old man. and talking to people. But hopefully that has a positive impact. So it's simple, but let's praise, sing, rejoice. That's your moment of yes for today. Have an awesome week, everyone. Bye.
