25:55 And I met my husband in the Youth Ensemble.
25:58 Wow! He was playing the cello and I joined the orchestra
26:01 and we started to share a stand together.
26:04 Wow! This guy is really cute, and so the rest is history.
26:11 So we have two children David and Julie.
26:14 They both play the cello also.

27:16 So, if you feel that you have a problem
27:24 with being overweight be sure to contact your physician
27:30 and have them do what we call a body mass index test on you.
27:34 And now we help you know
27:35 whether not you are overweight or obese,
27:39 because after all we are witnesses for Jesus.
27:44 And I'd like to just have a little quotation
27:47 from First Corinthian, the Apostle Paul
27:49 one of my favorites Gospel writers I call him.
27:53 "Whether therefore ye eat, or drink,
27:56 or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God."
27:59 And because we know that Moses told us
28:01 that the glory of God is his character,
28:04 we want to reveal him to the world
28:06 and we want all of our activities
28:08 or appearances to be evidence of him.
28:11 Thank you for joining us, have a great day.
