So buckle your seatbelt, we're 26 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,200 going to take this ride together. 27 00:01:52,300 --> 00:01:55,200 We obviously grew up on the East Coast here in Southeastern 28 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,400 Pennsylvania. It was a really unique setting, 29 00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:58,900 right? We were up in the famous 30 00:01:58,900 --> 00:02:02,700 Philadelphia Farmhouse and there was an experience that I 31 00:02:02,700 --> 00:02:05,200 remember you. Having I, how old do you think I 32 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,300 was? And how old were you, when the 33 00:02:07,308 --> 00:02:10,699 Hat Man experience happened? Well, I'd have to say, I was 34 00:02:10,699 --> 00:02:13,200 probably no older than 6 years old. 35 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,600 But yeah, I mean, and it's something that, you know, I 36 00:02:16,608 --> 00:02:19,900 still remember like it was yesterday, because it was first 37 00:02:19,900 --> 00:02:23,500 experience with outside of this This world that we have here. 38 00:02:23,500 --> 00:02:26,700 It was quite Supernatural, and quite confusing to me at that 39 00:02:26,700 --> 00:02:29,900 young of an age and it just just paint the picture for us a 40 00:02:29,908 --> 00:02:32,900 little bit here. Okay, so live Rodney said we 41 00:02:32,900 --> 00:02:37,000 grow up in a historical home. It was finished in 1803. 42 00:02:37,500 --> 00:02:41,500 Actually had a timestamp on the outside of the building and, you 43 00:02:41,500 --> 00:02:45,000 know, not that it was I hate to use the word haunted because I 44 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:50,500 don't believe that that home was haunted and like a bad way but 45 00:02:50,500 --> 00:02:53,500 there was definitely something. Things that were outside of our 46 00:02:53,500 --> 00:02:57,300 realm of, you know, just being able to to look you know at 47 00:02:57,300 --> 00:03:00,500 people there were there were some spiritual things that were 48 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,400 living with us and I say that and I can say that because like 49 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,300 I said at the age of 5 or 6 years old I was playing in our 50 00:03:07,300 --> 00:03:11,000 living room and you know as I always did I was a happy kid 51 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:15,000 just kind of running around. It was a fun house to explore. 52 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,100 There were kind of some you know little doorways with stairs. 53 00:03:19,100 --> 00:03:23,700 That went to nowhere and some Extra stuff that you wouldn't 54 00:03:23,700 --> 00:03:26,200 find in a normal home built today. 55 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:30,800 He didn't rape you, but there was a, was it a fifth floor? 56 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,300 That was a studio at one point in time and it burnt down 57 00:03:33,300 --> 00:03:37,000 somewhere along the way. Like that's the studio where the 58 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,800 famous artist did the Battle of Gettysburg for my remembering 59 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:40,500 that correctly. Yes. 60 00:03:40,500 --> 00:03:45,000 So Peter Roth among was a famous artist. 61 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,200 He painted the Battle of Gettysburg, he called the home, 62 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,600 Grasmere it was his vacation home for quite Time. 63 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,000 And then him and his wife actually ended up moving there 64 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,000 and dying there. And you know, I didn't learn 65 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,500 these things until I was older and found them historical book 66 00:04:01,500 --> 00:04:05,000 of Warriors. Ford in Limerick, that area that 67 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:10,200 we grew up at and so basically it was the history of those 68 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:14,900 areas and there was photos of our home back in the 1800's. 69 00:04:14,900 --> 00:04:17,700 There was photos of him but I want to get to that in just a 70 00:04:17,700 --> 00:04:20,300 minute. So basically, you know, it was 71 00:04:20,300 --> 00:04:24,600 playing as I normally did and I left the living room, which I 72 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,500 went through the kitchen into our hallway, and there was a set 73 00:04:28,500 --> 00:04:34,000 of steps that it was steps and then a platform and then a few 74 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,500 more steps and a platform and a few more steps and that took you 75 00:04:37,500 --> 00:04:43,000 to the upstairs hallway. So I had made it to the first 76 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:49,700 platform went to walk up the second platform and looked up 77 00:04:49,700 --> 00:04:55,400 and there was a man. That looked like a person he 78 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,000 just wasn't, he didn't look touchable. 79 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:03,200 He didn't look like a like he was here in this Dimension. 80 00:05:04,300 --> 00:05:09,100 He was very dusty looking. He had a very straight very 81 00:05:09,300 --> 00:05:14,300 almost militant face. He had a top hat on, he was 82 00:05:14,300 --> 00:05:17,200 dressed in all black and he was just very tall. 83 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:21,200 He was looking down at me and I mean, it scared the Daylights 84 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,600 out of me so I It make it up any more steps. 85 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:28,400 I ran down the steps. Yeah, I'm out here crying, you 86 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,500 know, and I ran right to my parents and told them what I'd 87 00:05:31,500 --> 00:05:36,100 seen and, you know, it was, they kind of knew that there was some 88 00:05:36,100 --> 00:05:37,600 stuff that went on in that house. 89 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,900 So, you know, they didn't make a big deal of it and just kind of 90 00:05:40,900 --> 00:05:43,700 went about our lives. But this book that I was talking 91 00:05:43,700 --> 00:05:47,400 about or referencing actually came out when I was about 10 92 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:51,300 years later, when I was about 15 years old, you know, I've had 93 00:05:51,300 --> 00:05:53,800 that experience, and And of course, it was kind of always 94 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,600 with me. I had certain dreams there and 95 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,300 just certain things that happen over the years. 96 00:05:57,300 --> 00:06:01,700 But when I got this book in my hands and I opened it up to look 97 00:06:01,700 --> 00:06:05,300 at our home from back in the 1800's in these photos. 98 00:06:05,300 --> 00:06:09,100 I, you know, saw her house back then and it was amazing to see 99 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:13,500 with the 4th Floor on it and then I turn the page and drop. 100 00:06:13,500 --> 00:06:16,900 The book fell to my knees started crying because it hit me 101 00:06:16,900 --> 00:06:19,600 like a ton of bricks that was the man I saw at the top of the 102 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,000 steps and that was a picture of mr. 103 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,800 Roth Mole sitting in the house. Yeah. 104 00:06:25,100 --> 00:06:28,900 Okay, so the book if I remember correctly is Montgomery, County 105 00:06:28,900 --> 00:06:34,000 Historical, Society, 1776 to present its a green book that 106 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:38,200 you can get issued from like the either the Historical Society or 107 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,500 one of the libraries, but we did have a copy of that book and I 108 00:06:41,900 --> 00:06:43,600 very much. So remember going through as 109 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,100 well.

I'm not like them. 187 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,300 And, you know, I don't belong here. 188 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,600 Fortunately, I have, you know, come to terms with. 189 00:11:11,700 --> 00:11:14,100 God has me here and exactly where he wants me. 190 00:11:14,100 --> 00:11:16,600 But for a long time, I felt like I didn't belong. 191 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,900 You know, it's interesting how the world's agenda is to 192 00:11:20,900 --> 00:11:25,000 misplace you, even if you're easy to spot or unique in the 193 00:11:25,008 --> 00:11:28,700 crowd is like, to have this systematic way of trying to get 194 00:11:28,700 --> 00:11:31,300 you now. Not to operate the way you were 195 00:11:31,300 --> 00:11:34,400 intended to operate. And I think a lot of the times 196 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:38,600 we don't have a Biblical view in the corporate world in our 197 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,300 workplaces, and our schools anymore. 198 00:11:40,300 --> 00:11:44,900 So people that have this unique sense or understanding of things 199 00:11:44,900 --> 00:11:46,900 going on that they can't quite put words to. 200 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:48,800 But they know what they feel. They know what they've 201 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,800 experienced a lot of the times when you hand them a Bible and 202 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,200 get them to read it, they have like that lightbulb moment. 203 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,900 Like they just start going. Are you serious? 204 00:11:58,300 --> 00:12:02,100 Like I went to like, you know, Catholic church or Presbyterian 205 00:12:02,100 --> 00:12:05,600 or like Southern Baptists are like 20 30 years and like never, 206 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:06,700 did. I read? 207 00:12:07,100 --> 00:12:09,400 You know, story about a ghost floating past somebody in the 208 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,500 hair, on their skin, you know, lifting up, which I mentioned, I 209 00:12:12,500 --> 00:12:14,100 think it was two episodes ago. That's the story. 210 00:12:14,100 --> 00:12:16,800 A job, he has a supernatural experience is written in the 211 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:18,500 Bible. A lot of the times I reference 212 00:12:18,500 --> 00:12:21,200 tough and I challenge my audience and people go 213 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,200 investigate this for yourself because one of my greatest 214 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,900 Journeys, taking the Bible. Literally at face value, just 215 00:12:27,900 --> 00:12:30,500 letting it mean when it says, Says, and say what it means 216 00:12:30,500 --> 00:12:33,200 without me trying to misconstrued, or mess with it, 217 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,600 it's phenomenal. How so many puzzle pieces will 218 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,700 fall into place when we realize, we are temporary creatures. 219 00:12:38,700 --> 00:12:41,200 And there's a spiritual World here, and when this Mortal 220 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,300 bodies done, and it's gone, we're going into that spiritual 221 00:12:44,300 --> 00:12:47,700 world, right? Like you cut your arm off. 222 00:12:47,700 --> 00:12:50,100 You're still you your arms in the ground rotten, but you're 223 00:12:50,100 --> 00:12:52,400 still you, there's something from your forehead to your gut. 224 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,000 That's the essence of who you are, and that's what's going to 225 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,400 move on to the next light, from 5 years old to. 226 00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:01,800 Now you've had a bunch She experiences many, many, many 227 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,800 experiences and I've always been fascinated even before I was a 228 00:13:04,808 --> 00:13:07,300 believer in the Bible, I'd always kind of like sit in the 229 00:13:07,300 --> 00:13:10,400 back and just listen to like that something's tickling my 230 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,000 skin here. There's something to this but I 231 00:13:12,008 --> 00:13:15,500 don't really want to jump into it and sometimes we are walking 232 00:13:15,500 --> 00:13:17,300 through the valley of the shadow of darkness. 233 00:13:18,500 --> 00:13:23,400 And I say that often that God literally walked me through the 234 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,200 valley of the shadow of death, but held my hand through it. 235 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,900 And I mean, I had to walk through that in order to have 236 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:33,500 The experiences that I have and I have this submission had come 237 00:13:33,500 --> 00:13:36,800 to the point of submission that I've come to where God is, you 238 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,400 know, the end all be all in my life. 239 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,600 I do want to share something like really important. 240 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:45,500 That's kind of mid between then and now and I think it's an 241 00:13:45,500 --> 00:13:49,900 amazing experience so you know, we went to church as children 242 00:13:49,900 --> 00:13:54,000 but we never really liked that and went through the Bible and 243 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,800 we had some footing in church, you know, we want his teenagers, 244 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,900 it was something important to her mom, but I was kind of 245 00:13:59,900 --> 00:14:02,600 something I did for a long time, just to make her happy. 246 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:08,600 And by the time I was, you know, in my early 20s, I had always to 247 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:13,900 some degree said to myself, what if, just what if God wasn't 248 00:14:13,900 --> 00:14:17,400 really the Creator or what if God, you know, there's just that 249 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,800 there was that what if I couldn't prove it? 250 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:25,900 100%, I couldn't, you know, touch it, feel it, speak to it 251 00:14:25,900 --> 00:14:28,500 and be spoken to, you know, verbally. 252 00:14:28,500 --> 00:14:30,100 So there Is always that. What if? 253 00:14:30,100 --> 00:14:36,500 And I actually had an experience that was the turning point in my 254 00:14:36,500 --> 00:14:42,000 life, and it took that what if, right from me since then, there 255 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,900 has never been a moment where I thought, what if it is always 256 00:14:45,900 --> 00:14:50,100 been there is and that experience was my pastor, and my 257 00:14:50,100 --> 00:14:55,000 husband, at the time were in my living room talking and I was 258 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:56,900 tired. So I decided to go into bed. 259 00:14:56,900 --> 00:14:58,900 My bedroom, we were in apartment. 260 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,300 My bedroom was right next to the living room. 261 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,000 So I laid in bed and we had these long, long windows that 262 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,100 went to the floor. So, you know, while I was in 263 00:15:06,100 --> 00:15:08,900 laying in bed, I could see right out of the window. 264 00:15:08,900 --> 00:15:11,800 And I'm kind of looking out the window and just praying and 265 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,600 listening to them talking. I wasn't quite asleep yet. 266 00:15:14,700 --> 00:15:18,500 And as I'm listening to them, talking, I'm like drifting off a 267 00:15:18,500 --> 00:15:20,900 little bit. Next thing I know, I'm, I'm 268 00:15:20,900 --> 00:15:25,400 looking out the window and the sky opens and I see Jesus coming 269 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:30,700 down for his people. And I had a moment of looking 270 00:15:30,700 --> 00:15:32,100 around going. Oh my gosh. 271 00:15:32,100 --> 00:15:35,100 I'm still in my closed. I'm still laying in bed. 272 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,700 I'm not going. Oh my gosh. 273 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:44,500 And the fear of feeling like I might be left behind because I 274 00:15:44,500 --> 00:15:47,800 wasn't solid in knowing Jesus Christ. 275 00:15:48,100 --> 00:15:52,900 You know, I had wanted to think so but I didn't fully accept it 276 00:15:53,300 --> 00:15:58,100 and know it and, you know, the that fear of like Wow, the time 277 00:15:58,100 --> 00:15:59,900 is common. I'm not right. 278 00:16:00,300 --> 00:16:05,200 What if I don't go, you know, it took me to a place of feeling 279 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,600 that I can't really put into words for any of you. 280 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:12,200 However, just imagine that put yourself in a position of the 281 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:13,700 sky. Opens you see? 282 00:16:13,700 --> 00:16:15,700 Jesus Christ coming for his people. 283 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,500 You see, people, rising up around you and you're not going. 284 00:16:19,700 --> 00:16:22,900 So, you know, I'm crying out to Jesus and I'm saying, please 285 00:16:22,900 --> 00:16:26,200 take me, please take me, please, don't leave me, and Jesus called 286 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:31,300 me to the sky. He was the most beautiful thing 287 00:16:31,300 --> 00:16:33,000 I've ever seen in my entire life. 288 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,500 There's no explanation for it. You know, he didn't look like 289 00:16:36,500 --> 00:16:38,400 our pictures or anything like that. 290 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,900 He looked like Perfection. And that's not something you can 291 00:16:41,900 --> 00:16:48,500 describe, however, we sat on a cloud and he talked to me for 292 00:16:48,500 --> 00:16:54,500 hours and reassured me and told me that his love has saved me, 293 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:58,300 you know, that his blood has saved me and that I am accepted 294 00:16:58,300 --> 00:17:02,900 and he would never ever, ever, leave me behind and he lead me 295 00:17:02,900 --> 00:17:06,700 to sleep that night, and when I woke in the morning, there was 296 00:17:06,700 --> 00:17:11,599 never ever another moment of what if I knew with my entire 297 00:17:11,599 --> 00:17:17,099 being my entire soul, that Jesus Christ came to me and showed me 298 00:17:17,099 --> 00:17:21,200 exactly what I needed to see. In order to know that he is 299 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:26,300 never going to leave me. But since then and you know 300 00:17:26,300 --> 00:17:31,500 recently, He is taking me through some really crazy 301 00:17:31,500 --> 00:17:34,600 things, you know, and some things that I needed to go 302 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:38,500 through in order to grow into the person that I am and, you 303 00:17:38,500 --> 00:17:42,400 know, it's so evident that I am exactly where I'm supposed to be 304 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:46,100 because of all the people that I'm having the opportunity to 305 00:17:46,100 --> 00:17:50,400 reach at this point in my life. Now just recently, I know you 306 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:56,700 brought a girl back to life. Yeah it was a traumatic 307 00:17:56,700 --> 00:18:01,700 experience to say the least but also you know it was something 308 00:18:01,700 --> 00:18:05,900 that again has shown me and proven to me that God puts me 309 00:18:05,900 --> 00:18:10,000 exactly where he needs me when he needs me and even if it's not 310 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:14,600 where I want to be at that time, I get the reward of knowing that 311 00:18:14,700 --> 00:18:17,500 it's the right place for me because of that. 312 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:22,900 So yes I found someone that she was ice cold and blue. 313 00:18:23,900 --> 00:18:28,900 And you know, the paramedics were called but until they got 314 00:18:28,900 --> 00:18:32,000 there. She needed CPR and 315 00:18:32,100 --> 00:18:34,100 mouth-to-mouth someone to breathe for her. 316 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:39,400 Fortunately, my first job was a lifeguard at 14 years old. 317 00:18:40,500 --> 00:18:43,900 I'm 36 now. And so, you know, it's been a 318 00:18:43,900 --> 00:18:47,000 long time since I've been certified, but I'll tell you 319 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,100 what. There was no thought process 320 00:18:49,100 --> 00:18:51,700 whatsoever. I was on top of this woman, you 321 00:18:51,708 --> 00:18:55,900 know, giving her chest compressions and breathing for 322 00:18:55,900 --> 00:18:57,300 her into the paramedics, got there. 323 00:18:57,300 --> 00:19:01,600 And unfortunately her life is is saved and she still with us. 324 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,900 So and that's why a piece of paper doesn't determine if 325 00:19:04,900 --> 00:19:07,600 you're like, I don't have a certification, I haven't had one 326 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,300 in, you know, 50 degree but sorry, can't help you. 327 00:19:10,300 --> 00:19:12,600 I was like, no, like instinct. Like save. 328 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,500 Somebody said it's, that's actually a crazy cool story that 329 00:19:15,500 --> 00:19:16,900 just happened a couple weeks ago. 330 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:21,000 You know what we're gonna have to do, like a 23 part. 331 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:25,500 You just have too much to share. Our and there's too much value 332 00:19:25,500 --> 00:19:28,400 in some of the things. I know you have to say that the 333 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,800 world is going to. Listen, how do we want to end 334 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,000 this all? Well, I'll say this over the 335 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:38,800 last, let's say five years. There's been an awful lot of 336 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,500 struggle in my life. I've been in some very dark 337 00:19:42,500 --> 00:19:48,400 places and you know, to the point where I had to start 338 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:55,100 questioning, am I going to lose, you know, that Light Within 339 00:19:55,100 --> 00:20:03,100 Myself and, you know, I never lost track of knowing that God 340 00:20:03,100 --> 00:20:05,800 was still with me.

So you know, my testimony over 343 00:20:12,900 --> 00:20:17,800 the last couple of years is pretty incredible but what I 344 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,800 want to, you know, leave off with and say is that no matter 345 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,500 what you're going through, no matter what, you've gone through 346 00:20:23,500 --> 00:20:26,600 no matter what, you've been through it all, builds 347 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,100 incredible.

So you just gotta keep praying 374 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,900 and just keep knowing just don't ever give up you know and I 375 00:22:23,900 --> 00:22:26,600 would like to come back and kind of give the rest of my time. 376 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:30,700 Some moaning because there's a lot of power in what God's done 377 00:22:31,500 --> 00:22:35,000 and it's very evident. And you know every day that goes 378 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,700 by he's doing more. So it's much too often that our 379 00:22:38,700 --> 00:22:41,700 peace can become disturbed by misunderstandings. 380 00:22:41,900 --> 00:22:45,100 We can have misunderstandings with our significant others or 381 00:22:45,100 --> 00:22:49,700 at our work in our families and even in with an uncommon 382 00:22:49,700 --> 00:22:54,300 neighbor yet, it is when we make things about us, that shouldn't 383 00:22:54,300 --> 00:22:56,500 concern us, it becomes a terrible. 384 00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:01,300 A burden, there's something in the indication deep down within 385 00:23:01,300 --> 00:23:03,300 us. That if we could stop trying to 386 00:23:03,300 --> 00:23:07,300 please everyone, stop trying to measure up stop focusing on our 387 00:23:07,300 --> 00:23:10,700 shortcomings in our flaws. And if we could stop dwelling on 388 00:23:10,700 --> 00:23:12,900 the rejection, we've experienced in life. 389 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,100 It would be a lot more peaceful. There are not many who wouldn't 390 00:23:16,100 --> 00:23:19,300 give anything to have a peace filled life and this can be 391 00:23:19,300 --> 00:23:23,500 possible if we only focus a little less on ourselves. 392 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:28,400 And more on God, our burdens, he'll take for us. 393 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:33,100 He offers that you'll feel so much lighter. 394 00:23:34,900 --> 00:23:38,400 Yet the challenge of knowing, how to reclaim God's, peace 395 00:23:38,900 --> 00:23:43,500 starts at you, God requires you to shift your focus, off your 396 00:23:43,500 --> 00:23:46,900 own Affairs, your own intellect, your own personal agenda, and on 397 00:23:46,900 --> 00:23:51,200 to him, this is a lot easier said than done, but it is a 398 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,700 worthy sacrifice.
