00:04 Praise the Lord everyone. I'm Rico Hill, the host of
00:07 From Sickness to Health. And today I'd like to begin
00:10 the program with a quote from the Psalmist David
00:12 who said in Psalm 92 verses 1 and 2
00:16 "It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord
00:20 and to see His lovingkindness in the morning. "
00:24 Yeah... after that first cup of coffee.
00:27 Coffee. Yeah, I need it. It's my quick pick-me-up
00:31 to get me goin' in the morning. I want some right now.
00:34 Well you can't have any right now because we have a program.
00:37 Oh, how I love caffeine! And my people... we love it.
00:40 Now, we as in your people? Me and you? Who's we?
00:44 My people all around the world. We have clearly spoken
00:47 about this delicious stuff.
00:49 In today's program we're going to let the facts speak
00:53 and perhaps those facts can actually help you and your
00:57 people. But, of course, I know what's going to happen.
01:00 Here's what's going to happen: you're going to try to hide
01:02 the truth, aren't you? Nope! Don't have to hide the truth
01:05 because my people love this stuff so much
01:09 that they can't live without it no matter what you say.
01:12 Watch me get them excited.
01:19 You know what? I've got an idea.
01:21 Caffeine! Caffeine! Caffeine! Caffeine! Look,
01:26 while he's chanting we're going to go ahead
01:28 and share some information with you today
01:30 that is going to show you the most widely-used legal drug
01:34 in the world: coffee. Stay tuned. Roll it.
01:39 Caffeine! Caffeine!
02:17 Welcome, and thank you for joining us here in the studio
02:20 of From Sickness To Health. I'm joined once again
02:24 with a wonderful couple of people.
02:26 My guests are Dr. Jim Said, board-certified chiropractor
02:30 and naturopathic doctor, and we're happy to have with us
02:34 once again Lydia Calhoun who is an ex pharmaceutical
02:38 executive. And again we're going to talk about
02:42 something that kind of relates to drugs
02:45 but this time it's a legal drug -
02:48 the world's most widely used legal drug.
02:53 And we're going to get some insights from both of you today.
02:56 So welcome to the program. Thank you; thank you so much.
02:58 Good to have you. OK, so we're talking about coffee.
03:02 Don't you love coffee? I was excited to have Lydia
03:07 join us today because you're going to find this fascinating.
03:10 But if there was ever a time when someone has never
03:14 ever had a cup of coffee you'd have to really search far
03:17 and wide, but Lydia has never had a cup of coffee
03:20 a day in her life. That's true. I've never even tasted it.
03:23 She's never tasted it! So I thought...
03:25 So what do you have to say about coffee?
03:28 Well I don't need it! I wake up very alert
03:31 in the morning and I have all the energy I need
03:33 when I step out of bed. In this program we're going to
03:36 find out why she has that energy. Why she wakes up
03:39 with a smile and she doesn't need coffee to do it.
03:41 So I think that's a good reason to have you on the program
03:44 today. But Dr. Said, we're going to look at this from
03:47 the standpoint of it being
03:50 almost like self-medicating. Is that right? That's accurate.
03:54 OK, so coffee is a self- medicator... that's right...
03:58 and everyone's using it. But they don't fully know
04:01 what they're doing when they do it, do they? No.
04:03 It's just automatic. They reach for the cup of coffee
04:05 to make up for what their body isn't able to do in the morning.
04:10 What their body isn't? Now why isn't their body
04:13 able to do it? Here's the idea:
04:16 the body's energy is regulated by a hormone.
04:20 That hormone comes from the adrenal glands...
04:23 the stress glands of the body.
04:25 The hormone is called cortisol.
04:29 Um-hmm. Now cortisol does two very specific things.
04:35 Cortisol maintains glucose - which is sugar -
04:40 to the brain to keep the brain alive... bottom line.
04:45 Your brain runs on a fuel called glucose... which
04:47 is a kind of sugar. But it's not the sugar you eat.
04:51 It's the sugar you use from the body.
04:54 Now if the brain's under stress
04:56 I call that a runaway locomotive.
04:58 It's demand for fuel is constant
05:01 so you're shoving coal into the engine to keep it going.
05:04 If you're running out of coal, then what?
05:07 The body uses its store of glucose
05:10 in the liver called glycogen.
05:13 Um-hmm. It uses up that store and the brain says:
05:16 "OK, I need more. Feed me! "
05:18 The body says: "I don't have any more glycogen to feed you. "
05:22 So the brain say: "All right, I know just what to do. "
05:25 It sends a releasing trigger to the adrenals
05:30 to pump out cortisol.
05:32 Um-hmm. Cortisol circulates through the body
05:34 and it tears down protein and converts that to glucose,
05:40 to sugar. It's tearing down so it's disrupting the natural
05:45 physiology and function of the body - yes -
05:47 in a way that is detrimental to this wonderful instrument
05:53 that God has given. Exactly. It's like taking
05:54 the floorboards out of the caboose to feed the engine.
05:56 Whoa! That's a good analogy. I like that!
05:59 Let's hold onto that thought - all right - you know because
06:01 we don't want to be accused of being unfair to those
06:05 who love their coffee. So let's go join Sickness
06:09 and see what he has to say about this strange brew.
06:14 Let's take a look.
06:18 I don't know about you, but I need a potent coffee
06:21 picker upper to get me going in the morning.
06:23 I'm talking caffeine.
06:25 And to get mine, I don't just drink one cup.
06:28 I drink two cups... at the same time.
06:31 You should try it.
06:33 You know, I love my addiction.
06:35 I mean I love my "taste" for coffee.
06:39 It's amazing. A lot of people do. I mean it's just savory.
06:43 And did you know that it's the most sought after commodity
06:46 in the entire world? More than sugar, crude oil,
06:50 corn, or even gold.
06:53 That's right. It's valuable and it's important to me.
06:56 I love the flavors; I love the smell.
06:59 And I think you should, too.
07:01 I'm going to have another one of these in about 30 minutes
07:05 and I can hardly wait.
07:08 Back to you, Rico.
07:12 You know, if there was any fact in what he said
07:16 it is a fact that coffee is the #2 commodity in the world
07:21 after crude oil.
07:24 Can you imagine it? Above gold and silver
07:29 and all the different grain products that we use
07:31 in abundance. No, no, no... it's coffee.
07:35 So... people love it. We can't deny that.
07:40 And he did say it smells great
07:43 and it does stimulate you in the morning just by smelling it.
07:47 What can be so bad about it?
07:49 Well, before we went to Sickness we talked about it's
07:52 disrupting the natural function of the body. Yeah?
07:57 You wanted to continue though. I wanted to hear more
07:59 about this whole physiology and how it is... It's doing more
08:04 than just sort of hijacking protein.
08:09 It's doing something to the heart; it's doing something
08:12 to the stomach. And we're going to look at a clip
08:14 that shows it's actually doing something to your brain.
08:17 Well, continue doctor. So what happens now is
08:20 you tear down protein so you now decrease the lean body mass
08:25 of the body so now you increase the fat body mass.
08:29 So as cortisol is surging you are literally increasing
08:34 fat stores as you strip away protein in the lean body mass
08:38 of the body. OK, let me make sure that we understand that.
08:41 So as you are disrupting protein
08:45 you're creating another environ- ment and that's fat storage.
08:49 So are we talking about causing people to gain weight?
08:52 Causing people's cholesterol to be raised?
08:55 What's happening by creating these fat stores?
08:59 That's what happens: I call coffee liquid sandpaper.
09:03 Oh, now there's an image.
09:05 Liquid sandpaper? The damage it's doing to the system
09:09 including the cardiovascular system and the liver.
09:12 So when we think of sandpaper we think of something that
09:15 is actually stripping away, it's abrasive, it's removing
09:18 something. Yes. A surface of something.
09:20 The surface of what is being stripped away?
09:23 It's causing an inflammatory reaction.
09:27 So every time a person goes to their coffee place of choice
09:31 or at home and they have some of this brew
09:36 they're actually causing an in- flamed situation in their body?
09:40 Yes. That's dangerous.
09:44 Now I think we need to remind people why that's dangerous.
09:47 Because inflammation generates scar tissue.
09:50 Scar tissue limits function and motion in health.
09:55 It damages inside the artery. It affects the liver adversely.
09:58 It can affect joints adversely.
10:01 This is the consequence of drinking this drug.
10:04 But here's why people drink it.
10:07 Over time, when the body is adapting to stress
10:10 the cortisol levels go down
10:14 because the adrenals can't produce the cortisol
10:18 'cause they fatigue. So then people reach for the coffee
10:21 to make up for what the adrenals aren't providing.
10:24 So they use coffee to stimulate them and pick them up in the
10:27 morning instead of cortisol.
10:29 Now, cortisol has a daily rhythm.
10:32 Cortisol is high in the morning and drops down to low at night.
10:37 So we're effective in adapting in the morning
10:40 and we're ready to go to sleep at night and recover and repair.
10:44 Um-hmm. When people fatigue their adrenals
10:47 the opposite occurs. They ruin the adrenal capacity
10:51 to produce cortisol in the morning... so they reach for
10:53 coffee to make up the difference.
10:55 And then cortisol rises at night and they can't sleep.
10:58 They can't sleep. So when people can't sleep
11:01 this is causing a whole "nother" host of problems.
11:04 Yes. Because then the adrenals have to produce cortisol at
11:08 night to raise the cortisol from night to morning
11:10 to reduce inflammation in the body from the previous day's
11:14 stress. This sounds to me like people are sleeping but
11:17 they're stressed while they're sleeping. Yes!
11:19 Can you imagine that? In fact, we call it hyper adaptosis.
11:23 We become addicted to stress.
11:27 So the body's in stress... Who likes stress though?
11:31 People don't enjoy stress but you're saying that when
11:34 we're drinking coffee we're actually creating an environment
11:37 where we are addicted to stress?
11:39 Yes, we're not at rest in our hearts.
11:42 OK, let's... I want to get Lydia in on this
11:45 because we're about to show a clip that is going to
11:49 really speak to what happens physiologically when we drink
11:53 coffee. Let's take a look at this clip.
11:55 This is going to... This is going to blow you away.
11:58 Let's take a look.
12:01 It's everywhere. From 320 mg in a Starbucks Caffè Grande -
12:05 about the max you should have in a day -
12:07 to energy drinks, to sodas... now even inhalables
12:11 100 mg in an instant.
12:14 But could that daily dose of caffeine be changing your brain?
12:18 We turned to researchers at Wake Forest in North Carolina
12:21 where I underwent two MRI brain scans.
12:25 The first scan with no caffeine in my system.
12:29 Then I downed just one drink.
12:31 Now my second MRI.
12:34 This was my brain before caffeine; this was after.
12:38 The difference was remarkable.
12:40 It's like a 40% drop in the blood flow to your brain.
12:43 That's a lot. So before caffeine?
12:46 With caffeine the blood flow to my brain
12:49 dropped about 40%? Went down 40%. Forty percent. Really? Yes.
12:53 Why the drop? Caffeine blocks a chemical called adenosine
12:57 which controls blood flow to the brain.
13:00 Add caffeine: blood vessels constrict, less blood circulates
13:04 in the brain and your blood pressure and heart rate go up.
13:07 So if you skip your regular coffee, that surging blood
13:11 can trigger a caffeine headache.
13:14 It's like trying to get a fire hose to pump blood up
13:16 through your skull. If you're a caffeine lover,
13:19 your brain has actually changed. It now functions normally
13:24 on caffeine. How much caffeine do I have to drink
13:27 to change the physiology of my brain?
13:29 Not very much. Not very much? Like even a cup a day?
13:31 One cup a day will change your brain.
13:33 Can you imagine that? You drink a cup of coffee
13:37 and the physiology of your brain has been changed?
13:43 Reduced by 40%? This has never happened to you,
13:47 at least not from coffee, right? At least not from coffee. Right.
13:51 What do you think about this: this drug that would actually
13:54 change the physiology of your brain
13:57 and yet it's completely legal?
14:00 Well, my opinion on coffee is I think it's a crutch.
14:05 And maybe it's just because I've never been addicted
14:09 to that. And I do understand that it is an addiction
14:12 for some people. But I've never had to lean on that
14:18 in order to start my day or pick me up during the day.
14:21 I don't know that there's any other way to put it
14:25 than it just becomes an addictive crutch.
14:28 I know you and I've seen how you function: you have a lot of
14:31 energy... so you don't need coffee to give you energy.
14:35 So we're seeing here, though, from this clip
14:38 that it blocks the hormone adenosine
14:43 and this has some relationship with headaches.
14:47 I mean, after while people can't get off of coffee
14:49 because they get a headache. You want to explain that, doc,
14:52 why this happens? It's a detoxing reaction also.
14:55 I've seen this in many many patients.
14:58 When they come off of coffee it's about a 5-10 days stint
15:01 of headaches. So I have them drink water - literally 1/2 cup
15:06 every hour through the day - to wash through the system
15:08 and cleanse the kidneys and the liver
15:10 more efficiently to make the headaches much less
15:13 and more quickly to go through that.
15:15 But it does clamp down vasculature to the brain
15:19 so that's the mechanism by which it works. Um-hmm.
15:23 I'd like to read something if I might from a book I really
15:25 enjoy called Counsels on Diet and Foods
15:28 that talks about the effect of coffee on the body
15:31 very briefly if I may. Please... go ahead, go ahead.
15:33 This is said: "The nerves of the stomach from coffee are
15:36 excited. These convey irritation to the brain. "
15:40 We talked about that gut/brain connection.
15:42 This is one of the ways it happens.
15:44 "And this in turn is aroused to impart increased action
15:48 to the heart... " So you get palpitations of the heart
15:50 commonly with coffee.
15:53 "and short-lived energy to the entire system. "
15:55 So there's energy that we feel is bursting, but it's not
15:58 a true energy to the system...
16:00 it's a stimulation to the nerves. OK.
16:02 "And there seems to be a strength that's increased...
16:05 but it's momentary and it's from excitement,
16:08 not from strength inherent in the body. "
16:11 "The intellect is aroused... "
16:14 So we're more hyper in our thinking.
16:16 "and the imagination becomes more vivid. " So people want
16:18 that to seem like they're clear but the downside is it leads
16:22 then to depression. And once depression occurs
16:26 what do we reach for? More coffee. That next cup of coffee.
16:30 So it's addictive in the sense that we are stimulated
16:33 depressed, stimulated depressed. And it continues
16:36 because the adrenals can't support the cortisol we need
16:40 to keep the energy levels that we require to function
16:43 through the day. Now will that cup of coffee
16:46 alleviate that bout with depression?
16:51 Or will one ever get to the place where the depression
16:54 is so severe that then I just need
16:59 something else like an anti-depressant?
17:02 This is common. I call it one step forward and two steps
17:05 backwards. Aah! So it's constantly digging a deeper
17:09 and deeper hole: that we have something else to try to get
17:11 out of when coffee is not enough.
17:13 When coffee is not enough. Wow! We probably should have
17:16 called this program When Coffee is not Enough.
17:19 Now... Lydia, now as an ex-pharmaceutical executive
17:26 what is out there in terms of drug medication
17:30 that would, for the person who might drink so much coffee
17:34 and it's not really enough, now they need something else?
17:36 What? I mean we don't have to get into the names
17:39 but are there certain things people are looking for?
17:42 Well, the #1 thing would be an anti-depressant.
17:46 If we're talking about coffee bringing on depression
17:49 and somebody is a chronic coffee drinker
17:52 it would lead to reason that they would be reaching
17:54 for an anti-depressant chronically as well. OK...
17:56 wait a minute. I just heard something.
17:58 So we're saying that the #2 commodity is coffee.
18:05 The #1 drug prescribed
18:10 in the marketplace is anti-depressants.
18:13 Is there a relationship?
18:15 Is there a connection or is that just coincidence?
18:19 Far from coincidence.
18:21 We live a lifestyle that leads to depression.
18:25 One of the keys is we have no anchor in our lives
18:29 to the Lord so we rely on ourself.
18:33 And we do things in our life- style that tear our bodies down
18:37 and we don't study nature and the Lord's laws in nature
18:43 that allow us to follow His way to heal.
18:47 And so we rely in our own ways.
18:50 And our own ways always lead to degradation of health.
18:55 And so it's essential that we start living a style of life
19:00 congruent with how we're created.
19:02 So it's imperative for us to understand physiology
19:05 and how we're made, and how we live supports how we're made
19:10 that we can live the life as true witnesses of our Creator.
19:14 We need to really help to educate people.
19:17 And really, that is the purpose of this program:
19:19 we want to make sure that you are equipped with as much
19:23 information that we can share. That's why we bring on the
19:26 experts to talk directly to you about what's happening in our
19:29 bodies. Now, I think it's probably important for us to go.
19:33 We've heard from the doc, we've heard from you, and
19:36 certainly you've heard from me and we even heard from the
19:38 newsclip. But let's hear from the people who are out there
19:41 on the street. What do they think about coffee?
19:43 You know, it's so confusing! One minute you have a program
19:47 that says coffee is helping you live longer,
19:51 it's fending off Alzheimer's.
19:55 The next minute a study that just came out very recently
19:57 said that people are dying within the first 15 years
20:02 of the program when they have the amount of coffee
20:04 that people are consuming right now. Um-hmm.
20:07 What is the truth? It's hard to tell.
20:10 But we do know that this is confusion, isn't it?
20:13 And the Bible tells us in I Corinthians 14:33
20:17 that "God is not the author of confusion. "
20:21 So let's take a look and let's hear some of the
20:24 confusion if you will. Let's go to the streets.
20:29 All right. I'm out here on the street, Sickness, and with me is
20:32 Duchess of Overstreet. The duchess!
20:35 Wow... what a pleasure. Where are you from?
20:37 Northern Alberta Canada. Canada. Today I'm with the
20:40 duchess of Canada. Now let me ask you a question:
20:42 what do you think of caffeine?
20:44 I think it's the only way some people get started
20:47 but it's really bad in large quantities.
20:49 It's really bad for you? Yeah, in large quantities.
20:51 Oh, large quantities. So a little bit every few hours
20:55 might be OK. In small amounts, yeah.
20:57 Small amount. Yeah, that's a good plan.
20:59 Caffeine. A lot of people have an issue with caffeine.
21:00 Do you love caffeine like I do? No! You don't love caffeine? No!
21:03 No. What's wrong with caffeine? It makes my heart race fast.
21:07 That's because it wants to get you going. No!
21:09 Caffeine is good. Palpitations. No... not for me.
21:12 Oh man, you're confused. You need a new doctor.
21:14 Well maybe. Yeah, she needs a new doctor.
21:17 She thinks caffeine is bad for her.
21:18 Tell me what you think about coffee.
21:21 Uh... it's great in the morning but not at night.
21:24 Uhn-um. Why would you say that? I cannot fall asleep
21:27 for nothin'. Well sleep is a total waste of time.
21:31 Why would you want to sleep? It is! I mean, I'm a student;
21:33 I've gotta stay up studying. Trying to conquer the world.
21:37 Jana does not sleep. She gets her milk in her coffee.
21:40 Everything good. Let's talk about this: caffeine.
21:42 What do you think about caffeine? Ah, man, that's...
21:47 Good. I used to be addicted, man.
21:50 Used to be? What? Did you quit?
21:52 Yeah. Can't quit on me, man. I had coffee this morning
21:54 but it was small. He didn't quit! He didn't quit!
21:57 I think the evidence is overwhelming:
22:00 Americans are addicts.
22:04 As long as we can get our caffeine in the morning,
22:07 the afternoon, late afternoon, evening, dinnertime,
22:11 just before bed... it's OK.
22:16 And that's a good thing. Addicts are OK with me.
22:20 Back to you, Rico.
22:22 I've gotta get some caffeine; I had got to get some caffeine.
22:25 Well, I don't know what to say about it, you know?
22:27 People... We see that people love it.
22:30 They want it. In fact, as we heard from the very beginning,
22:33 they need it. Um-hmm. They need it but do they
22:36 REALLY need it? According to what the doctor has shared
22:40 with us we don't really need it.
22:42 It's really doing something to our body, putting us in a
22:44 chronic state of depression and a chronic state of stress.
22:50 And that much stress on the body constantly
22:53 is tearing the body down.
22:55 And we may love the taste, we may love the smell,
22:58 we may even enjoy how it makes us feel
23:01 but ultimately it's going to have its consequences.
23:07 It's going to have its repercussions.
23:09 Now I wanted to just kind of get a summary
23:14 if you will, you know, of the things we've been talking about.
23:18 I love the fact that you have a practice.
23:21 I always tell our audience that you educate your patients.
23:24 Amen. You educate them, educate them, educate them.
23:28 And I'm sure you do it pleasantly and you do it
23:31 certainly intelligently. Um-hmm.
23:33 And you practice there in? In Medford, Oregon.
23:37 Medford, Oregon. But that's not all that you're doing.
23:40 You're taking this thing to the next step.
23:42 You're starting up some kind of a health center,
23:45 a lifestyle center, to deal with these chronic cases, right?
23:48 That's right. We have one in Idaho,
23:50 Open Door Ranch, and we have a second one
23:52 we're starting in Medford, Oregon, as well -
23:54 OK - under our umbrella of Open Door Life Institute.
23:58 And it is a medical missionary school and health care center
24:01 combined. Medical missionary? That means
24:03 that you are sharing... 'Cause a lot of people don't
24:05 know the term of medical missionary, but if you think
24:07 about a mission or missionary this is sharing the good news
24:12 of the gospel and the Word of God
24:14 but combining it also with the physical healing
24:17 that is needed... because they go together, don't they?
24:19 Absolutely. So you're... Essentially you are ministering
24:23 or you are blessing both mind, body, and spirit.
24:29 Yes. Making people whole. Absolutely.
24:32 You know friends, I believe that's exactly
24:34 how Christ did it and He would have us do the exact same thing.
24:38 Rather than dealing with the symptoms, dealing with
24:43 the issues in such a way where we medicate them
24:47 gets to the root of the problem. What is the cause?
24:50 And I really appreciate that about your practice
24:52 and your ministry. Now Lydia, I'm going to before
24:56 I read... before I have you tell and share what you're doing
25:00 'cause you were a pharmaceutical representative or executive
25:05 and you left that all alone.
25:08 You walked away from it because you didn't want
25:10 to be out there just medicating people
25:12 but you want to inspire people. You want to educate them
25:16 and you want to have them be blessed.
25:18 And, you know, there's something about what you said
25:23 in the beginning of the program when you said
25:24 "I never used coffee; I never needed it.
25:27 And I wake up feeling refreshed. " But there is a
25:30 spiritual side to this, and I want to just kind of read
25:33 this text and have you comment with what you're doing now.
25:38 OK. I think it's a blessing. OK... thank you.
25:40 In Psalm 143 and verse 8. Father, bless your Word.
25:44 In Jesus' name we do pray, Amen.
25:46 In Psalm 143:8 it says:
26:03 In 30 seconds can you tell us this whole "hear
26:06 Thy lovingkindness" because I've heard something from you
26:08 and it's heavenly. Thank you. So now what I'm doing
26:12 is I am a medical musician
26:15 and I do "Let Music Be Thy Medicine" which is a concert
26:19 seminar that brings together music and health.
26:22 Oh beautiful! So people can hear
26:25 the music of heaven, and it ministers not only to their
26:31 soul but it has some medicinal properties to it, right? Yes!
26:35 In fact, the clinical studies that I share
26:38 show that in many instances that classical music
26:42 has a beneficial effect that's superior to traditional
26:45 drug therapy. Amen! Well, I tell you, friends,
26:49 here's the thing: instead of picking up that cup of coffee
26:52 why not get up in the morning and commune with your Lord?
26:55 Take in the wonderful wonderful sweet savor
27:00 of God's love instead of that coffee
27:03 and allow yourself to hear Him. Because if we're drinking coffee
27:05 and reducing the amount of blood flow to the brain
27:09 the question for us is: can we hear His voice?
27:13 If our brains aren't functioning can we hear His voice?
27:16 Well, as always, we want you to be healthy.
27:19 We want you to go from sickness to health.
27:23 Here's the health that we're sharing with you today:
27:26 try God.
27:30 Truly the best part of waking up is when we wake up
27:33 with a zeal for life that only comes from the God of heaven.
27:36 Now we have shared a great deal about coffee today.
27:39 Now do I believe that people are just going to
27:42 stop drinking coffee and make the change?
27:46 Maybe some will... some won't.
27:49 I must confess I used to love the smell and taste of coffee
27:54 in the morning. Aah! However, when I lined up
27:58 the effects of coffee versus the benefits
28:01 well, the harmful effects outweighed the benefits
28:04 and I had to make a choice.
28:06 My prayer, my hope for you today is that you'll also
28:08 make a choice. Rico, do you really think
28:10 information trumps addiction?
28:16 Again I say: my people are jittery and headachy
28:19 for a lack of caffeine. Well, the Word of God says
28:23 "My people perish for lack of knowledge. "
28:26 Hosea 4:6. And with that knowledge
28:30 "We can do all things through Christ who strengtheneth us. "
28:33 Philippians 4:13.
28:36 We'll see. Well... that is our program for today.
28:39 And I'd like to end it the way I always do:
28:42 remember III John 2: "Beloved,
28:47 I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper
28:49 and be in health. " I'm Rico Hill. Be healthy.
28:53 And I'm blue guy... in need of one more cup of brew.
28:56 Maranatha.
