Jeremiah 2911, if you have your Bibles or your phones, whatever you use, open up. We're going to have a little fun with this verse today. "For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 2911, how many of you memorize this verse when you were a kid? This I did, okay? How many of you memorize this when you were an adult? All right. This was our theme verse at Stony Brook Christian School this year, and as I mentioned earlier, I work at Stony Brook, along with several of you. And we are celebrating 40 years of God's faithfulness as a school, which is pretty amazing. And we chose this verse, "The God knows the plans he has for us."

Jack, would you jump out of a plane? No. No? Yeah. You're too, you're never too old. Sometimes life can seem like we're jump out of a plane. It's circumstances, and it's just that rush, a free fall.

If you ever get a chance, add it to your bucket list and check out Yellowstone. While we were there, not just all, what are those called? Hot spring, or hot geysers, an old faithful, but another big aspect of Yellowstone are the animals. And what are the biggest animals?
