• 00:01 David Hart: Today we're looking at miracles
• 00:03 from the mundane to the miraculous.
• 00:05 Join us on "Our Jewish Roots" with Bible teaching from Israel
• 00:08 with Dr. Jeffrey Seif coming up right now.

• 00:18 male announcer: To believe in the Bible
• 00:20 is to believe in miracles.
• 00:22 From Genesis to Revelation the impossible became possible.
• 00:27 As God's hand moved across space and time, land and seas were
• 00:32 created, graves opened, water turned to wine, the sick and
• 00:37 lame healed, the land of Israel completely restored.
• 00:43 Past, present, and future he's the Alpha and Omega.
• 00:48 He is the God of miracles.
• 00:50 ♪♪♪
• 00:57 David: Thank you so much for joining us today.
• 00:58 I'm David Hart.
• 01:00 Kirsten Hart: I'm Kirsten Hart.
• 01:01 Jeffrey Seif: I'm Jeffrey Seif.
• 01:03 David: Well, we're nearing the end of this wonderful series
• 01:04 "The God of Miracles," and we challenge you today that if
• 01:06 you've not seen them all, there's a good way
• 01:09 to see those, yes?
• 01:10 Kirsten: Right.
• 01:12 Levitt.com or levitt.tv, that will get you all of the past
• 01:15 programs easy.
• 01:17 You can sit and binge watch them if you would like to.
• 01:20 Jeffrey: I think there's value in looking at miracles,
• 01:21 by the way.
• 01:23 It builds up faith.
• 01:24 A lot of people--there are so many problems in the world
• 01:26 and people wonder, "Oh, God, can you help me?"
• 01:27 Well, you get exposed to this and you know
• 01:29 the answer is yes, he can.
• 01:30 Kirsten: And do you have--see miracles in the physical
• 01:34 realm today?
• 01:35 I mean, ones that you can see and touch.
• 01:37 Those are good, interesting miracles, aren't they?
• 01:39 Jeffrey: Yes.
• 01:40 We have in this program, in this series personal testimonies.
• 01:43 We take people to Bible places where God did amazing things.
• 01:46 And it's so good to experience all that, builds up faith.
• 01:49 And we need faith for troubled times.
• 01:51 Kirsten: We do.
• 01:52 And you're talking about the first, should I say,
• 01:54 recorded miracle.
• 01:55 It was a wedding feast.
• 01:57 Jeffrey: Yeah, the first one noted in the Gospel of John.
• 01:58 And that harks to a point you made elsewhere in the series:
• 02:01 God does little things.
• 02:02 There he is concerned about a wedding.
• 02:05 And there was a certain specific need there where the God of the
• 02:07 universe is interested in helping them even with that.
• 02:10 Kirsten: And he obeyed his earthly mum.
• 02:12 Jeffrey: He obeyed his earthly mum, took care about
• 02:14 people in their earthly business, not just people having
• 02:16 a wedding in Cana, but people that have felt need help and are
• 02:20 having problems all over.
• 02:21 He can help with the little things.
• 02:23 Kirsten: That's good.
• 02:25 David: We take you in that spot in Israel right now with
• 02:26 Dr. Seif's teaching.
• 02:30 Jeffrey: Wedding ceremonies can be complex events.
• 02:35 This indeed was true in John chapter 2.
• 02:37 As you might recall, there was a problem with food and beverage.
• 02:42 Beverage management wasn't doing so good.
• 02:44 I mention that because as this thing is going on someone
• 02:47 reports to Yeshua, his own mother no less, "Look, that the
• 02:50 wine is gone out.
• 02:52 We have a problem.
• 02:53 Big day, a wedding."
• 02:55 Coming to you from Israel here, a wedding venue no less,
• 03:00 I'm reminded of the fact that, again, these things
• 03:02 can be very complex.
• 03:03 Someone wasn't sufficiently prepared for the moment and the
• 03:08 net result is there was a need at a critical time.
• 03:15 You might be in a place in your life where there's been a lack
• 03:17 of preparation.
• 03:18 The net result is there's a critical need.
• 03:21 Well, this is a program on miracles.
• 03:24 And I'm not interested in inventing miracles much as I am
• 03:28 beckoning individuals to return to the stories where they see
• 03:32 that miracles indeed take place.
• 03:35 I mentioned that hear they didn't have any wine.
• 03:38 Yeshua however had them pour water.
• 03:42 And the miracle was as the water was poured...
• 03:51 and it was transformed into wine.
• 03:55 The word transform, metamorphe, metamorphosis.
• 04:01 Transformed from the Latin trans means to crossover.
• 04:05 That is to say water crosses over into a new kind of form.
• 04:12 Now, when individuals take it in they're surprised as the wedding
• 04:20 feast is going on apparently uninterrupted by this.
• 04:23 This was a problem behind the scenes.
• 04:26 And, you know, when you have a business there can be a lot of
• 04:28 problems behind the scenes.
• 04:30 This is a problem behind the scenes.
• 04:32 And what happens then as the wedding event continues--and the
• 04:36 fruit of the vine, you know, some say it was fermented,
• 04:40 some not.
• 04:41 Don't want to get into that.
• 04:42 Whatever it was, it was water and then it was some grape
• 04:44 substance after that.
• 04:47 The point is those who experienced the new beverage
• 04:50 says, "Look, everyone brings out the good wine first, and then
• 04:54 when they're drunk, the worse, but you've reserved
• 04:57 the good until now."
• 05:01 You ever heard the expression the best is yet to come?
• 05:05 That which came later came better.
• 05:11 They say, "You see, there's some trickery.
• 05:12 You start off with the good wine and then you cheapen it
• 05:14 when people can't notice it."
• 05:16 Now, people have been known to do some creative things
• 05:20 at wedding.
• 05:21 I'm guilty as charged.
• 05:23 In my own wedding with Barry we had 500 in attendance.
• 05:26 I ask, "How much is a wedding cake for 500 people?"
• 05:29 I found out.
• 05:30 Well, after that I opted for a big tiered wedding cake.
• 05:34 Everything was fake except the top one that you cut.
• 05:38 So what happens is we go there, we cut, and then they take it
• 05:41 out, and I ordered loads of Costco.
• 05:45 No one knew the difference.
• 05:46 They were saying, "Oh, the cake."
• 05:48 Listen, they said,
• 05:49 "Look, this is beautiful. This is wonderful."
• 05:50 They didn't know the difference.
• 05:52 Here there's no trickery involved.
• 05:54 I wasn't involved in the wedding.
• 05:58 The point of this story is even if there's a problem because
• 06:02 someone doesn't prepare, there's a God that can do even far more
• 06:07 abundantly than people can ask and think.
• 06:10 And I want you to know that God didn't go out of business.
• 06:15 And by the way, this is a problem,
• 06:16 but it's not a critical need.
• 06:18 It's not someone who's paralyzed or blind from birth.
• 06:21 It's a wedding for goodness sake.
• 06:22 But God even cares about the special moments of our lives
• 06:27 because he cares about us.
• 06:32 We're looking at miracles.
• 06:33 As there's an example of one here, in the next segment
• 06:37 there's another one, and we'll be examining throughout.
• 06:40 And the reason why I want to do it is I want you to know that
• 06:44 God loves you and yes, he can even have a miracle for you.
• 06:50 ♪♪♪
• 07:01 Jeffrey: It really is a thrill for me to be here.
• 07:05 Who wouldn't be happy about it?
• 07:07 Israel the Holy Land.
• 07:09 And in this series it's a great joy to be able to speak to you
• 07:14 to, for, and about miracles because they're so significant
• 07:18 in biblical literature from one end of it to the other
• 07:21 and there's such need for it.
• 07:23 You might need one in your life right now.
• 07:25 I'm coming to you from a place where someone
• 07:27 really needed it, Bethesda.
• 07:30 You might recall the place from John chapter 5.
• 07:33 A man had been paralyzed for a long, long time and he got his
• 07:36 healing here.
• 07:38 And I mean here.
• 07:40 I'm here in the pool.
• 07:41 Of course, there's no water.
• 07:42 A few thousand years have passed, but this is the place.
• 07:45 And there's Crusader, you know, buildings round about it, but
• 07:48 this is the place.
• 07:50 It's a fascinating place, a fascinating story, some story
• 07:53 that means something to me personally.
• 07:56 And I mention that because I was paralyzed from the neck down.
• 08:00 Years ago I contracted a very rare disease called
• 08:03 Guillain-Barré.
• 08:04 Some call it Guillain-Barre.
• 08:06 I was paralyzed from the neck down.
• 08:07 I had to learn to walk again.
• 08:09 Was in the hospital for months, outpatients
• 08:11 for a number of months.
• 08:12 And I remember when I first got sick I was afraid
• 08:15 because I couldn't move and I said, "Oh my god."
• 08:17 First, I was afraid I was going to die, and then I was afraid
• 08:21 I wasn't.
• 08:23 I didn't want to live like that.
• 08:24 Well, obviously, I'm not living like that.
• 08:26 God intervenes.
• 08:27 I want to talk to you about miracles.
• 08:28 I want to open up the book, take a look at John chapter 5, and
• 08:32 I'm going to look at a story that's very important
• 08:34 not just for me but, I think, it's important for you.
• 08:38 Let's have a look at the book, but I'm going to go to
• 08:40 another part of the pool.
• 08:46 I want to take a moment and set up this story 'cause it really
• 08:49 is a good one.
• 08:51 I mean, they're all good, but like I said, this one's very
• 08:53 personal for me.
• 08:54 We're looking at the 5th chapter in the Gospel of John.
• 08:58 We're told we're by a place, Bethsaida.
• 09:00 We're here now.
• 09:03 And there was a crowd of invalids assembled there and
• 09:05 this one guy, we're told in verse 5, who was invalid
• 09:09 for 38 years.
• 09:12 That's a really long time to be paralyzed in a bad way.
• 09:16 That's really a long time.
• 09:18 Now, Jesus ask him something and it's--I don't want to get in
• 09:21 trouble with the boss for this, that is God.
• 09:24 Jesus ask him something.
• 09:25 I mean, it sounds like a dumb question.
• 09:27 Jesus comes up to him and he says,
• 09:29 "Do you want to be healed?"
• 09:31 "Nah.
• 09:33 I just think I'll lie around for 37 years.
• 09:35 You know, I just think I'll lie around.
• 09:36 It's all good."
• 09:38 Like I said, I don't want to get in trouble with the Lord for it
• 09:40 and I'm just saying for a fact.
• 09:42 You would think that, of course, he would.
• 09:46 And I get the impression if the Lord asks a question it's not
• 09:50 that he doesn't know the answer.
• 09:53 There's something else behind it 'cause he can read the heart.
• 09:56 But the point is if someone wants a miracle, they have to be
• 09:59 willing to declare it and go after it.
• 10:02 It's not going to happen by accident.
• 10:04 So he says to him, "Do you want to be healed?"
• 10:07 in verse 6.
• 10:09 Subsequent to which the man answers respectfully,
• 10:11 "Sir, I'm paralyzed. I can't move.
• 10:14 And, you know, I'd like to get it,
• 10:16 but I can't seem to get to it."
• 10:18 And then Jesus says something to him in verse 8
• 10:21 that has been repeated many times, many days in many ways.
• 10:26 He says, "Get up, take up your mat, and walk."
• 10:30 Or, "Rise, take up your pallet, and walk."
• 10:35 You know, there are a lot of people they're just stuck in
• 10:37 stuff and they get used to it, you know, but that seizing the
• 10:41 moment and getting up, it's a fascinating story.
• 10:45 In fact, the oldest, above ground church that has been on
• 10:50 earth tells the story in plaster in the walls of the church.
• 10:55 There's a fellow there or a person in a Latin toga and he's
• 10:59 pointing his hand, and it says in Latin, "Rise, take up
• 11:03 your pallet, and walk."
• 11:05 And there's a guy underneath who's picking up his bed mat
• 11:07 and walking away.
• 11:09 It's an early 2nd century depiction of the story
• 11:12 that we're reading right now.
• 11:14 I mention this.
• 11:16 Jesus healing paralyzed people is a story that has resonated
• 11:21 in culture.
• 11:23 You find it in art. You find it in literature.
• 11:25 We find it replicated here. And why is that?
• 11:29 The body is frail. Things can happen to it.
• 11:34 I know that as I make my journey from the womb to the tomb.
• 11:37 Sickness can happen.
• 11:38 People can get bested by circumstances in their body.
• 11:42 It happens.
• 11:43 And paralysis is one of the worst examples of it.
• 11:48 In the Newer Testament Jesus raises a lot
• 11:50 of paralyzed people.
• 11:52 He does that. It's like a favorite miracle.
• 11:54 And it's not just that he'll do it for physical people
• 11:56 physically, but a lot of people are paralyzed in life
• 11:59 in different ways.
• 12:01 They're just really stuck and they can't get extricated
• 12:04 from their circumstance.
• 12:06 Isn't it good to know this miracle power that can
• 12:08 even get the better of that?
• 12:11 And that's the story in the Gospel of John.
• 12:15 In the 10th chapter of the Gospel of John Jesus said, "If I
• 12:18 do not do the works of my Father, then do not believe me,
• 12:21 but if I do them, even if you don't believe me, believe the
• 12:24 works that you may know and understand that I'm in the
• 12:27 Father and the Father is in me."
• 12:29 In other words, let the miracle be the calling card.
• 12:32 The miracle is the proof for the one who is the same today,
• 12:38 yesterday, and forever.
• 12:40 And if you're at a place in your life when you hear about
• 12:43 miracles and you say you need one, I want you to know
• 12:45 you can get one.
• 12:47 And I'm telling you that story from a place where someone
• 12:50 got one a long time ago.
• 12:53 ♪♪♪
• 13:02 David: God is still in the miracle business today.
• 13:05 Hopefully you've had a miracle in your life.
• 13:08 I know that you have.
• 13:09 What an amazing testimony that you have.
• 13:12 You were paralyzed. I can't even fathom that.
• 13:14 Jeffrey: Yeah, it was weird.
• 13:16 It definitely was, tell you the truth.
• 13:18 And I experienced a feeling of deep despair, and the Lord
• 13:22 raised me up out of that.
• 13:24 David: So were you asking for that healing?
• 13:27 Jeffrey: Yes. David: Okay.
• 13:28 Jeffrey: And fighting for it.
• 13:31 You know, at first I was afraid I was going to die and then I
• 13:33 was afraid I wasn't because I really didn't want to live
• 13:37 in a body like that.
• 13:38 And it really was a dark space, quite frankly.
• 13:42 Kirsten: I never knew about that.
• 13:44 I don't think either of us until you just shared that.
• 13:47 Jeffrey: Yeah, I had picked up an exotic disease and I was
• 13:51 rendered literally paralyzed from the neck down.
• 13:54 I remember it vividly like it was yesterday,
• 13:56 but it was a lifetime ago, you know, 27.
• 13:59 Kirsten: Can I ask how old you were when that happened?
• 14:00 Jeffrey: It was about--well, I'm 67 now.
• 14:03 This is 27 years ago or so, and it was really scary.
• 14:09 I thought, "Oh my god, I'm going to--" Like I said, at first
• 14:11 I thought I was going to die.
• 14:13 I can live with that.
• 14:16 I can live with the fact I'm going to die, but I couldn't
• 14:19 live with the fact that I was going to be living
• 14:20 in a dead body.
• 14:22 And I'm real intense kind of person, but thanks be to God
• 14:25 that the Lord helped me get the better of that.
• 14:29 Kirsten: Can I ask if it was a slow progression in your
• 14:33 miracle or was it instantaneous?
• 14:34 Jeffrey: Well, I was in the hospital working on it, but it
• 14:36 was very, very deliberate.
• 14:38 I heard the words, "Rise, take up your pallet, and walk," and I
• 14:41 just got up and walked just like that.
• 14:42 In fact, a medical doctor, a friend of mine,
• 14:46 had just left the room.
• 14:47 He was visiting.
• 14:49 He wasn't my attending physician.
• 14:50 And I remember I was in the bed and I thought, "Oh, I've never
• 14:52 felt more tired in all my life."
• 14:54 And then, "Rise, take up your pallet, and walk."
• 14:56 And I got up and just started walking, and I was afraid to get
• 14:59 back in the bed.
• 15:01 I was just walking around the hall.
• 15:02 It looked weird 'cause the muscles were all--and when I was
• 15:05 afraid to stop walking because I was afraid if I went and got
• 15:11 back in the bed I wouldn't be able to get up again.
• 15:14 I didn't want this to be a fluke.
• 15:16 And it really was. It's a dark space.
• 15:19 You know, when people are really sick they're really in a lonely
• 15:23 stretch of highway there.
• 15:25 And I'm thankful to God that he visited me in that place.
• 15:29 Kirsten: I don't think anyone wants illness, but there is
• 15:33 something about having a physical situation or a problem
• 15:37 or a disease that gives you compassion and understanding
• 15:41 that you wouldn't have unless you walked through it yourself.
• 15:44 Jeffrey: Absolutely.
• 15:46 You know, just as a minister visiting people in the hospital
• 15:48 I really feel it, you know, and they can feel it if you feel it.
• 15:52 You know, I'm really there in the moment in a way you couldn't
• 15:56 be there if you're young and healthy, but there's something
• 15:59 about being a little older and a little beat up that gives you a
• 16:03 frame of thinking.
• 16:07 Kirsten: Well, we're thankful that you had
• 16:08 your healing ministry.
• 16:10 Ministry?
• 16:12 Well, you do have a ministry, but your miracle and that you're
• 16:15 here with us today, and thank you for sharing that personal
• 16:19 story 'cause we didn't even know that was part of your story in
• 16:21 your life.
• 16:22 Jeffrey: Glad to do it.
• 16:24 I wanted to do this series on miracles in part because
• 16:25 a lot of people need a miracle and I want people
• 16:27 to know they can get it.
• 16:29 David: I will say this. You heard that small voice.
• 16:32 And I just want to say to you, listen to that small voice.
• 16:36 It's there for you. We'll be right back.

• 17:13 David: If you are a faithful follower of "Our Jewish Roots"
• 17:16 you know that there are so much more that we offer, not just
• 17:18 this program that you're watching today but our cabin
• 17:21 chats that we bring you.
• 17:23 One that we really love is the Bearded Bible Brothers.
• 17:27 We hope you've seen them.
• 17:29 Kirsten: They're so cute.
• 17:30 And speaking of our wonderful Bearded Brothers, Caleb, who is
• 17:35 our gentle giant, I hope you've seen him before on his program,
• 17:40 got the chance to interview a mother who faced
• 17:43 a very difficult decision and she chose life.
• 17:50 Char Vande Zande: On day 3 she had a brain bleed, but we
• 17:52 really didn't know about the brain bleed until she
• 17:54 was 12 days old when her forehead was enlarging.
• 17:59 Caleb: Oh goodness.
• 18:00 Char: And I went to visit her in the NICU, and the nurse sent
• 18:03 me straight across town to the doctor's office.
• 18:06 We sat down in the doctor's office, and the doctor said,
• 18:09 "We have done an ultrasound on your daughter.
• 18:12 She has hydrocephalus, which is water on the brain."
• 18:16 There are ventricles in our brain that nourish and take away
• 18:20 waste and help developing brains, and hers were filling
• 18:23 with fluid.
• 18:25 And so the doctor went on to say that because of this
• 18:28 there's--she has risk of brain damage.
• 18:31 There's a lot of pressure in her brain and that there's a way
• 18:36 to relieve the pressure and it's through a process
• 18:39 of called shunting.
• 18:40 In shunting they would put a tube into the ventricle of her
• 18:42 brain, thread the tube under her skin and have it enter in her
• 18:46 abdomen so that the water would be absorbed by her body.
• 18:49 He said that such an operation is quite risky.
• 18:52 It's risky for several reasons.
• 18:54 It's because the shunt can cause--the operation can cause
• 18:58 infection and then there's infection in the brain.
• 19:02 A shunt can become clogged and then it needs another operation
• 19:05 to unplug the shunt.
• 19:07 And as Jill grew, this was a lifelong thing that she may be
• 19:10 needing, they would need to remove the shunt and put a
• 19:14 longer one in because of her growth.
• 19:17 And then he went on to say that because of this, because of
• 19:23 either the operation or the pressure that already in her
• 19:26 brain with the hydrocephalus, this is what her prognosis was:
• 19:31 she would never walk, she'd be wheelchair-bound for the rest of
• 19:33 her life, she would, in his words, be retarded and not to be
• 19:38 able to communicate with us, she would need 24-hour/7 care, she
• 19:43 would probably be blind, she would most likely be deaf, and
• 19:46 that the best thing for her would for us to stop
• 19:50 feeding her.
• 19:52 Caleb: Well, that is terrible.
• 19:54 That is a doctor who told you this?
• 19:55 Char: Yeah, I was shocked.
• 19:57 Caleb: He gave you a bad report and then he offered to
• 19:59 basically kill your baby for you.
• 20:01 Char: That's what I said. "You mean she's going to die."
• 20:03 And he said, "Ma'am, you need to understand this is going to be
• 20:06 a hardship for you.
• 20:07 It's going to be a big financial hardship because her care
• 20:11 will be expensive.
• 20:13 It will be a hardship on your marriage, on your future family,
• 20:18 children, on the son that you have because you're spending all
• 20:20 your time and energy and money on one child with low quality
• 20:23 of life."
• 20:25 Caleb: You know, my wife, she--for the last 12 years she's
• 20:28 worked as a nurse in high risk pregnancies and deliveries and
• 20:31 things just like this.
• 20:35 And it's hard, but I've never, you know, heard until reading
• 20:39 your story, hearing your story from you that a doctor
• 20:41 would ask that.
• 20:43 That a doctor would say, "Here, let's take care of that for
• 20:45 you," as if that's a problem.
• 20:47 This is your child.
• 20:48 You love your child, and it goes acco--I know it goes against
• 20:51 everything in your body, in your heart as a believer as well.
• 20:54 Am I right?
• 20:56 Char: Oh, I'm right. I just said, "No.
• 20:58 No, this is a child of God and you do everything you can
• 21:01 to save her life."
• 21:03 Caleb: That's right.
• 21:04 Char: And so they weren't going to do the shunt
• 21:05 right away.
• 21:07 They decided to put her in diuretics first to try to draw
• 21:10 the fluid off of her brain, but every week she'd get an
• 21:13 ultrasound, and the ultrasound did not show any decrease in the
• 21:17 ventricles of her brain.
• 21:19 So when she was 7 weeks old, the doctor said, "We're going to
• 21:23 schedule a shunt for surgery, but first we want to do a CAT
• 21:26 scan so we have a more clear picture of what we're doing,
• 21:30 and we will meet with you tomorrow morning."
• 21:33 So my husband and I went the next morning to the hospital.
• 21:37 And the doctor came in with his films and put on that big light
• 21:39 box, and first he put up the film that showed the
• 21:42 ultrasounds, and yes, the ventricles were large even to a
• 21:46 non-medical eye.
• 21:48 They looked like rivers of water in her brain.
• 21:51 But then he put up the CAT scan from the previous day, and the
• 21:53 front ventricles were normal sized and the back ventricles
• 21:58 were only slightly larger than normal.
• 22:02 And he said, "These ventricles are okay at this size.
• 22:06 It's not causing pressure on the brain.
• 22:08 And this is an absolutely amazing thing."
• 22:12 And my husband said, "Well, this is the miracle we have been
• 22:14 praying for."
• 22:16 And the doctor said, "Call it what you want, but it's never
• 22:19 happened without surgical intervention."
• 22:21 Caleb: Doctors never want to admit that, do they?
• 22:23 That it was someone outside of them that caused that, but
• 22:25 you--that's a miracle.
• 22:27 There's no other way to describe it.
• 22:29 Char: No other way.
• 22:30 We had many churches praying in many states
• 22:33 and we had our daughter.
• 22:35 Caleb: Well, thank you, Jesus.
• 22:36 And your daughter is here today with us right beside you.
• 22:39 This is Jill.
• 22:41 Jill: I'm a miracle because God wanted me to be.
• 22:43 Caleb: That's right.
• 22:45 Jill: God get all the credit.
• 22:46 Caleb: Praise the Lord. Thank you Jesus.
• 22:48 Jill: Yeah.
• 22:50 ♪♪♪
• 22:58 Kirsten: You just got to meet Jill.
• 23:00 Next week you get to hear her story.
• 23:03 She has experienced a miracle.
• 23:06 And I've got to jump back a few minutes in our program
• 23:10 to an absolute miracle.
• 23:12 Jeff that you mentioned it's a miracle that you actually served
• 23:15 Costco cake at your wedding reception, then they ate it.
• 23:21 Jeffrey: Well, you know, they didn't know the difference.
• 23:24 Kirsten: That's a miracle.
• 23:26 David: We knew you were brilliant, but that's brilliant.
• 23:27 Kirsten: And we knew you were cheap, but that's really cheap.
• 23:29 Jeffrey: Those big cakes, they're a fortune.
• 23:31 You know, just--I just cut the top of it.
• 23:33 Everything else was Costco. Nobody knew.
• 23:35 Nobody knew.
• 23:37 Kirsten: That's a miracle.
• 23:38 Jeffrey: But now--but, you know, thank you.
• 23:39 Now word's out.
• 23:41 Kirsten: Oh, you shared it before I did.
• 23:42 Jeffrey: Yeah, but you're pushing the point.
• 23:44 They might have forgotten.
• 23:45 Kirsten: But we appreciate your honesty in the cake and
• 23:47 also honesty about what you walked through in your physical
• 23:50 miracle, and you're welcome for that cake one.
• 23:53 Jeffrey: Thank you.
• 23:55 Kirsten: I know you're going to get me back for it.
• 23:57 But thank you for what you shared.
• 23:58 And thank you for watching our program today.
