Well, I just want to start by giving you an update. I know a lot of you were, you know, praying and really hoping that I would get a PlayStation 5 for Christmas, and I'm sorry to report that Santa did not come through. It's been tough the last day or so, knowing that so many are playing at 60 frames per second and 4K, and I'm not, but I, you know, I'm going to hang in. I think that sometime the next couple of months I'll probably be able to pick one up. So we're going to keep our chins up. We're not going to let this ruin the year, okay? That's kind of been my attitude, and it's going to kind of keep going forward. The thing is, this is just the latest in a series of things that have been taken away from me this year. I have a photo here of the top six things that I'm mad about being taken away from me this year. We can't afford Disneyland because the mouse is pretty greedy, so we go to Knott's Berry Farm. Well, we did. We went once, and then the world shut down, and we're just hoping that doesn't go out of business before we can go again. A family Christmas and Thanksgiving canceled, and actually for a good reason in terms of COVID-19 transmission, they actually think that it's family gatherings. They're the number one driver of COVID-19 because family gatherings are so important to people, right? And so even if you're sick, you'll still go, and that actually drives a lot of COVID-19. But you know, it's rough. I mean, we miss that, I've been very disappointed in Postmates, ScrubHub, DoorDash, when they deliver the Bloomin' Onion from Alpac State House, it's gross. And so I don't want, I can't go and sit down and have the Bloomin' Onion ever, any more since I'm going to try and lose weight in January. So even if they open it back up, it's like, "I have it!" And stolen. Movie theaters, of course, the salon, I can't tell you which salon I go to, but it's operated like a speakeasy. Now, there's wood paneling across, and it says, "Close for good." But if you know the secret number that someone will open the door for you, and you can slide in and get your hair done, so, yeah. But for most of us, you know, Doug hasn't had a haircut in a thousand years, neither is Nate. Don't, don't, don't. Okay? Don't ruin this. Don't ruin this with the facts, Doug. Nate, you look great, though. Just keep it going, man. Love it. Yeah, campgrounds. Not that I would use that, but for those of you who do, a public parks in California have been shut down. And I'm feeling, honestly, I'm kind of okay with it, to be honest with you, I'm alright with all that. In fact, 2020 has actually been a pretty good year for us.

A call for God to protect our kids in 2021. 2020 has been devastating for children and adolescents and--crazily--the Christmas story in Matthew has a prophetic word for us and for them.
