 Right. Good morning everyone. Welcome to a new week. Hope you had a good weekend. Let's begin this time with a word of prayer. So, let's leave it open. Anyone of us can please leave. We'll get into our class. Let's pray. Lord Jesus, we want to thank you for this morning. I pray to God that you would bless us with your word. To the Lord, you speak to us and help us to know the desires of your heart and help us to focus on our lives and work it better. We thank you for this time. Jesus, thank you. Alright. So, last class we've been talking about work-life balance and how important it is to balance work, family, and rest. So, maintaining that rhythm of worship, work and rest. Then we look at knowing what is important. Many things will crowd our lives at the same time but know what is important to you. Understand, okay, this is important. So, I'll give this time. Have a value scale for your own, you may have your own standards, your own way of valuing things and knowing, okay, is this important or not. But you have a value scale. Guard your time and resources. Your time, energy, and money. Guard it. We talked about how there can be energy leaks, things that can come into our life that can, but it causes us to lose all our strength and our energy. So, guard yourself against those things. Keep short accounts of checks and balances, meaning you can probably do a weekly or a bi-weekly, monthly, but shorter checks. Of course, we have a bigger plan which could be a one-year, two-year plan but short accounts. So, something that I do is before I start the Monday, I sit down, just write down the things that I have to get done in the coming week. So, I'm mentally prepared with these five points and then when Friday comes, I'll just go back and check, okay, have they been done? If they haven't been done, what is the reason? And then I can help me to work better. And then develop personal skills, personal efficiency, productivity, time-saving skills. So, with all that is available, use technology, short deadlines, learn to delegate responsibilities. We talked about that as leaders. We must learn to delegate, raise up other volunteers and teams to help you in what you're doing. Organize, work in an organized way. For example, you have, you know, you're going to be working with people, you're going to be working with Excel sheets, Word documents, organize them in the right way. You know, you're going to prepare for servants, prepare for notes, organize them in the right way, right? And we stopped there. Let's continue. We have a few more points in this chapter and after that we'll get into chapter 20 which is saving, investing, and retirement and beyond. So, rejuvenate yourself. As I have 40, 28 and 31, I love the message translation. It's very beautifully put. It says, don't you know anything? Haven't you been listening? God doesn't come and go. God lasts. He's creator of all and you can see or imagine. He doesn't get tired out, doesn't pause to catch his breath and he knows everything inside out. He energizes those who get tired, gives fresh strength to dropouts for even young people tire and dropout. Young folk in their prime stumble and fall but those who wait upon God get fresh strength. They spread their wings and soar like eagles. They run and don't get tired. They walk and don't like the high. And the message translation adds its own color and it's so beautiful. He energizes those who are tired and gives strength to dropouts. Even in our prime, we may feel tired. We will feel weary. We will fall down at times. Our physical, emotional, spiritual strength must be renewed every day. Renew yourself. Exercise with physical body. Try to exercise. Eat healthy. Rest. Rest is not just lying down on your bed. That can be physical rest but rest in the mind as well. Very important. Things that you can do to bring rest. It could be just listening to music, playing an instrument, swimming, going for a run. There are some youth that come and they talk to me and they say, oh, I feel relaxed when I go to the gym. They say, wow. For them, the mind is relaxing. Even though they are physically training themselves. Exercise. They are lifting weights and doing all of this. For them, the mind is relaxing. That's so wonderful. All of us are wired differently. So find out what keeps you refreshed. What is it that can energize you? What is it that can refresh you? And keep doing it. Time out with God is so important to keeping everything in balance. This holds everything together. Time out with God. It's our ministry, our work, our personal life, our family life, work life balance. Everything is out of this time out with God. It is God that holds everything together. So we cannot say, God, I'm busy with ministry. I'm busy with family. I'm busy traveling here and there. I'll get back to you later. It should be an overflow of saying, God, all that I am doing is centered around you. And as I thought he was 15 says, your strength will come from settling down in complete dependence on me. When we try to do things on our own strength, most likely we will fail, most likely we will fail. But when we trust in God, when we keep going to God and regenerating yourself, that's wonderful. And I always say this to young people. Of course many of them are working. They ask me, how do you do this? And I always say, put aside. Take things, put it aside. Your work, your things, your deadlines, all that is there. Just put it aside. Spend time in God's presence. And something that I do is over time personally and you can, if you'd like to, you can try it. You can do it your way. What I like to do is take a leave on a Friday. And so if I take a leave on a Friday, it's done the whole of Friday, the whole of Saturday. It's going into God's work, reading His Word, meditating on His Word, praying, seeking His Grace. No talking about, what do we do with this church? What do we do with this ministry? And there are so many things. Nothing, I would go and open the laptop. Just in His Word. Just hearing from God. Spending time growing. Next one is stop demonic destructions and delays. John 10-10, a thief is only there to steal and kill and destroy. I came so they can have real and eternal life. More and better life than they ever dreamed of. It's a very common verse. Thief comes to kill, steal and destroy, but I've come to give abundant life. Now, it's not our intention to think of everything as spiritual delays. For example, if there's a traffic jam or if there's some problem, if something doesn't work or the alarm doesn't work, it's not the devil. Many times, I keep the alarm early in the morning, very early in the morning. Sometimes we're very tired from work, and then the previous day, and then we sleep, and many times I've missed the alarm. Woken up way after sunrise, and I'll be like, what happened? The alarm was on. But it's not the enemy saying, oh, I don't want you to spend time and grab. That's not what it is. It's just that you were physically very tired, and you had a good rest. So it's all right. But then, the enemy can bring destructions in our life in different ways. So for a task or a work that you're doing takes half an hour. You're with it for past two days, okay, not two days, at least five hours, six hours. What takes half an hour? Suddenly you see that, hey, this is a distraction. There's something that is wrong. There's something that's not happening. Now, it could be our own mind. Oh, I'll do it later. I'll think about it. Should I add this? And it can just cause destructions and delays. Now, when we know this, sometimes the Holy Spirit will remind us, hey, this is a distraction. This is the work. This is the enemy trying to improve. Stay alert. Take action. If you sense it's a demonic hand or it's a demonic work that is trying to stop, immediately stop, pray, rebuke, take authority and get the work done. Right? There are times you need to stand bold and tell the storms that come in our life to cease. Because that's the point, is we want to reach our destination. We want to do what we are called to do. Right? Ecclesiastes chapter 3 and verse 1 about plan ahead. Right? To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven. Right? Planning ahead. I know we've talked so much about it and a lot of examples from the Bible as well. When you plan ahead, you are deciding ahead of time, the when, the where, the how, and it could be resources, it could be your schedules, your task, you could mark out your slots in the calendar. Now, here are three ways here. Develop a daily plan, develop a weekly plan, a monthly plan, an annual plan. Now, you can choose how you want to do it. Now, something that helps me is a daily plan. That's something that I don't normally do, a daily plan. But what helps me is a weekly plan, like I just mentioned. So Monday to Friday, I put on tasks. I say, okay, these tasks should be done Monday to Friday. So this is something that has helped me. And then, so I know, okay, Monday I'll do this, Thursday I'll do this, Wednesday I can finish these tasks and that has helped me. But I also like to plan for the entire month. For example, how many events or how many programs or conferences that we'd like to have. How many, how are we going to finish this month? What is the important thing that I want to learn in this month or the things that I need to get done in this month? I do that as well. And of course, definitely the annual plan. But if you really like to plan, you can also go ahead. So you can do a three-year plan, you can do a five-year plan. Now, it's nice to do it because, you know, as we do it, we're being, you know, it's like we're telling God, God, I've taken my life seriously. It's not like I'm just, you know, letting every day pass, okay, whatever happens, whatever happens. I've taken my life seriously. This is what I want to do. God, this is my plan. Of course, the Bible says, you know, trust in the Lord with all your heart. Leave not on your own understanding. Yes. But God has also told us, given us this life to plan ahead to be more such. He says, hey, I have plans to prosper you to give you a good hope and a good future. So when we plan and give it to God's hand, we're a loving God to work in our midst, right? So do it. If you haven't started, you can start small. You can probably have a book, write them down, or you want to just, you know, document it, the laptop or your phone. Do it. Now we have so much, right? We have the phone, if you just pull it up and just read whatever you want to read. But even as you make these plans, there will be divine interruptions, meaning God may suddenly change things. You may have to move to a different organization, move to a different city, or change a complete plan, become an entrepreneur, or, you know, as a family, you may ask you to, you know, just do completely something different, and you know it's God. Be open to those things, right? But accommodate those changes and adapt to what needs to be done during those times. But I always say this, you know, to young people when I get to talk to them, I said, failing to plan is planning to fail. We have to plan ahead, right? If we don't plan, that means we are planning ahead to fail itself, right? We have to plan. Whatever it is, planning is essential, right? And when it comes to ministry and business and family, we have to plan. That's where the term family planning comes, right? It is a plan. You need to plan ahead, right? And God is pleased with those plans. Even as he takes you through seasons, you know, recently, I got to meet a couple of our church folks and one of them just had a baby. It's two months old. And I was looking at that baby and I just went back, you know. The Lord just reminded me. He said, remember when your kids were little, just two, three months old, and you had no idea what to do with the child. And I went back and I said, God, thank you for your faithfulness. Now my children have grown up. But when I saw these parents carrying this little small baby, I thought to myself, God has been so faithful over the years and he has, you know, this taught us. You know, so it's a wonderful tool that God takes us through these seasons. Over those seasons, we plan. Plan well, right? Next one, take a family-friendly approach to business. I see we'll just skip this. It's all about work from home. We flexible timings, open house, company visits, leaves, maternity leaves and all of that. So we'll move to the next chapter, right? Chapter 20, saving, investing, retiring and beyond. So what we were talking about, life is live in seasons. So you can be, first you get into college, you know, youth, culture, you know, you get into the workplace, and then you work and then you grow up the ladder there. As the sun will set as well, right? So there will be times that we had enough time, but there will be times we will have to retire. None of us can work for the rest of our lives. We are taught to have faith in our truck and go, but we also taught the goods to us and take responsibility of what is in us. I like that, you know, spiritually, spiritual-minded but earthly-wise, right? We believe, we just have the right balance. Oh, you know, people are saying, what are you thinking about retirement and investing? You know, people who don't have faith do that. That's not right. But then the scriptures, we see that the Lord Jesus taught us to save, to invest, and he taught us to plan ahead. So let's see what the scripture talks to us about saving, investing, retiring and going. Save, to prepare for the future, Proverbs 6-8, you lazy fool, look at an act, watch it closely, let it teach you a thing or two. Nobody has to tell it what to do. All summer it stores our food. At harvest, it stockpiles provisions. Now we've talked about the ant, right? All through summer, they're working hard. And in winter, you won't see an ant around during the rainy season, right? Because they all prepared themselves during the summer. Look at Joseph. God gives Genesis 41. God gives Joseph such a wisdom, right? Okay, not only did he interpret the dream, he came up with a solution for the dream. Okay, seven years is going to be harvest, seven years is plenty. What do we do? Okay, here's what you do. Pero, you take the seven years, have somebody in charge, to store up all the additional, right? And then the next seven years, you'll have enough. Now, where did this wisdom come from? From God. God didn't say, okay, seven years, plenty, eat and rest and enjoy. Don't worry about the next seven years. So, think about it. God has thought about it for the next seven years. There are places where God is, you know, thinking about a hundred years ahead, right? So, it is good to prepare for the future. Joseph was a man of God. He was under the anointing of the Holy Spirit. The wisdom came from God. God himself said, the seven years will save up for the next seven years. You know, especially now, when we talk about saving it, the most common thing that comes is, hey, Jesus is going to come any time. That's what he said 2,000 years ago as well. Yes, there are prophecies that are being fulfilled, lightning speed meaning the rapture can happen any time. But we don't want to be unprepared. Imagine, you know, I think it was early 2000. If I'm not good, 2000, yeah, early 2000. There was this group of people, believers, who suddenly said, okay, year 2000 is when the Lord Jesus is going to come back again. They sold their businesses, sold their hope, sold everything. They were sitting and praying the whole day waiting on the Lord. 2000 came and went. Nothing happened. Now 20 years is over. 22 years. Nothing's happened yet. So times and seasons are in God's hands. What is our responsibility? What is telling us to prepare for the future? So we must prepare for the future. Now what happens as we're preparing? That is not in our hands. If the rapture comes, we're gone. Good, but at least they've been good stewards of what God has given us. It is while we stay aligned to the scripture concerning money and wealth, it is important to know that financially, we must prepare for the years when we are unable to work. And we start doing it now. We start doing it now. I remember as a student, I used to listen to a lot of these sermons. I came across one sermon where I talked about the future. It really struck my heart. Yes, I have to prepare. Now probably I was 22 years old. I said, okay, I'm going to work hard. I'm going to prepare. It's not like I thought of, okay, I'm going to get married. I didn't think of all that. But I just said, I want to be well established in my future. So I've got to work really hard and just invest in certain things so that when I grow older, it will help me. And then worked really hard, joined the Bible College. And I knew, okay, income is not coming in. So I took a year before that to really work and invest and to save up. So the entire term of my Bible College, I had enough funds to help me going to pay my fees, everything. I did not depend on parents at all. I said, no, I'm going to do it myself. And after that, I said, okay, I'm going to prepare. This is just an example. It all started small. It's not like it started with huge things. Very small. Okay, I'm going to prepare next for my wedding, for my marriage, and then children, and then for them. So I thought about it. I began to prepare for the future. Invest to multiply what you have. Luke 19, 23, well then, why didn't you put the money in the bank and you would have received it back with interest when I returned. Now, Luke 19 teaches us something about the kingdom of God. He used the story of this wealthy man who was going away to be made king before he left. He handed some of the money to his servants, three of them, and he says, okay, here, you take these coins, and when I come back, I want to see you do something with it. And when I come back, I hope the money has grown. Now, how you make it grow, it's up to you. You put it in the bank, you can invest it in business, you can give it in interest to somebody, whatever you want to do, you can do. So, two of them, they invested it. One person, when Doug O'Holl put it in there, my master is very strict, very stern, so I'd rather give back the money that he gave me. He came back. The other two said, here, master, this is what you gave me, you have doubled it, take this. The master says, wonderful job, these are portions for you. Second one, same thing. Third one, oh, master, I didn't do anything because you're a stern, so here's your gold coin, take it back. And this is the response that he gets. Well, then why didn't you put the money in the bank? Then I would have received it back with interest when I returned. The least you could do is you should have put it in the bank, then putting it into the ground. The point here is that God's kingdom, God wants to use us, use what he has given us, and multiply the resources that has been entrusted to us. So the resources that he gives us, he wants us to multiply. It could be finances, it could be people, it could be time, it could be the things that we have in our availability, in our hands that we can use, it's going to multiply. He wants us to multiply. So since this includes even money, it's right to consider that even financial resources God wants us to multiply. How do we invest it? That's up to us. A couple of weeks back, a family member came up to me and said, is it okay to invest in property in Bangalore? I said, it's okay. It's good if you all do it. God is leading you to do it. Then he said, am I being cowardice? Am I being too money-minded? I said, no. There's nothing wrong. You're just investing. All I told him was, you have two children, I know him so I know that he has two children. So you're investing for your children. You're putting something now, you're putting some amount now. 15 years down the line, it's going to multiply. And you're doing it for your children so there's nothing wrong in it. Sometimes you may feel guilty, oh, am I thinking too much about myself? No, not at all. If God has blessed you, you use it, you multiply it. There's nothing wrong in it. If we don't multiply it, if we don't multiply what God has given us, then we may not be faithful servants. So even as we plan ahead, multiply the resources that God has given us. Now, plan financially, live responsibly. When we talk about planning financially, our dependence is always from God. God gives us, we give back unto God a tenth of what he has blessed us with, but our primary goal in life is not acquiring wealth. Our hearts must not be set on the things of this world, but of the things of God. How do I differentiate it? This is the best way that I can think of. You know, we get a good night's sleep, we open our eyes. What is the first thing that comes to our mind? If it is the first thing that comes to my mind is when can I buy this, or when can I do this? Something's wrong. I need to set my heart right. I need to get things right with God. But if the first thing that comes to my mind when I wake up is God, I thank you for this new day, for this breath of life, the intentions are right. Out of that comes everything else. You know, at a very young age, I used to go to hospital, I used to go to ICU's. I remember I used to go with pastors, we used to go to these hospitals, pray for people on the deathbed. Any time I would go, this realization would strike. One day, one day, people all pass the show, especially when you go for funeral, it's heartbreaking, it's sad. We also know that the person is but we suddenly begin to think straight. It's not about what we have, it's about what we can give. It's about God. We make Him our priority. See, first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and He will take care of all our needs. And when He gives us all of the abundance that He has, we use it for God's glory. We live it responsibly. Right? Now, another important thing is any abundance that God gives us, it's also good to, you know, we don't spend it lavishly on ourselves, but we use it for the purposes of God as well. Some of the things that we can do is to make it to work, help the children. I'm not saying give everything that you have. But give portions. The more you give, the more it's going to be a blessing. Right? Financial planning is important. You know, when you talk about budgets, something that you can do is think about the budget that you have for the month and then set aside, okay, this is what goes away. This is what I need and this is what I will, you know, invest. This is what I need for the month to look after my kids. And it's just a budget, a simple budget that you're making, but it's important that you do it responsibly. Right? Parents should provide for their children. Second quarantine is 12.14. This is now the third time that I'm ready to come to visit you. And I will not make any demands on you. It is you I want, not your money. After all, children should not have to provide for their parents, but parents should provide for their children. Now, next semester, we'll be talking about first and second quarantine as well. And it's a wonderful, two wonderful episodes. This talks about the father and the mother heart of the great apostle Paul. Here, he's talking about, you know, he's going to go to Jerusalem and he's encouraging the church. See, if you want to give, you can give. If you want to go to Jerusalem, the church there is being persecuted. They wanted to give offerings to them. Paul is writing here, he's saying it's not about the money. They want to give you a gift, giving to God. But it's about your heart. It's about, you know, as parents, we must provide for you. Right? And so part of our God-given responsibility for those who are parents here, when you take care of our children, this would include their needs, giving them a good education, so they can stand on their own feet. Now, maybe some of us here are not even married yet. I remember it's a season, right? They'll become a time. Married, you'll have children. Remember these things. Begin to apply it. Begin to work on it. So that, you know, as you go through these seasons, you realize, okay, these are things that I must do. Children should care for widows, elderly family members. Plan for what you will leave behind. Proverb studying 22. Good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children. But the wealth of this dinner is stored up for the righteous. Part of financial planning is also what you're going to leave behind for the next generations. Right? Now, you may think, oh, but I'm just a little, you know, I'm not, I'm just a student right now. I haven't started working. I don't want to have a bank account. It's alright. I don't be overwhelmed. It's not anything, oh man, I haven't done for myself. I still have to stand on my feet, get married, have children. How am I going to think about my next generation? Don't worry about it. These are just pointers. The point that we're trying to bring across is as you go through those seasons and then you will begin to work eventually. Think about the children. Think about what you can leave for them. Right? I like this verse. Good man leaves an inheritance for his children's children. It's wise in the eyes of the Lord. It's good in the eyes of God when we do that. Now, I know there are many of them who have said, oh, but then I don't want to give the children. They've all messed up. They've done this. They've done that. What they do with it is that's another story. But you as a father or a mother are doing a good thing in the eyes of God and be assured that our reward is in heaven. Retire and refire in the earth. It sounds 92, 12, 15. The righteous will flourish like palm trees. They will grow like setters of lemon. They are like trees flourishing in the house of the Lord that flourish in the temple of our God that still bear fruit in old age and are always green and strong. This shows that the Lord is just that there is no wrong in my protector. Now, very often when we think of practically of retirement we think of weakness. We think of death. Oh, okay, my time is over. Not really. Retirement it may sound like okay, end of my life season kind of a thing but it could be a start of a new season. Plan ahead for those seasons. There are many ways to use those from set years, meaning you can volunteer you can volunteer in places God has given you good health. You know, you serve in communities, teach younger people train younger people probably have sessions with people and it's wonderful. One of the things I love to ask older folks I always ask them, whoever it is don't look for people who are whether they're matured How did you parenting? How did you do it? How did you, you know especially when their children are growing up they're getting into their teens and now we have a whole set of other things to worry over to to see, you know, the social media all the influence of the enemy but how did you do that? I love to hear them learn from them. Right now, these golden years, the years of retirement it's not the end, you can refire re-energize it can just take you back to a place of, okay I have eight hours in my hand I'm going to sit with God's word I'm going to read God's word I'm going to pray, ask God for wisdom, divine favor just walk in the anointing of the Holy Spirit now for those in ministry normally there's no retirement normally it's not work but it's something that you really like to do and you know that you're going to be preaching all your life so even when you get into those older age that old age, you don't have to think oh, there are things that we can't do that's why when I talk to youth I tell them, what you do in your 30s you cannot do when you're 60 years old that's what I'm asking why do you wake up so early why are you so much in this thing of fasting, doing all these things you don't eat well or you don't do this, half the time you're only reading things and you're doing this you're not sleeping enough I know at times the reason is when I'm 60 years old I cannot do it I don't think I can pray for 3 hours at a stretch when I'm 60 years old I'm going to be tired right things will change over the years things will change if I can stand and lead example if I can stand and lead worship for 2 hours when I'm 60 it's going to be hard so you do things what you can do now that when you're 60 you don't look back and say oh man I wish I did it so that's why you always tell young people push yourself for God you push yourself because you don't want to go back when you're old to look back and say I wish I did it when I was young God who was, who is and always will be for I am the Lord and I do not church it's always good to pause and reflect on the goodness of God God who has led us throughout all these years he saw us through those seasons from our youth, from our workplace from, he saw through the journeys, the bigger parts of life and even at the old age he is still God Isaiah 46-4 even to your old age I am he even to gray hairs I will carry you I've made you, I will bear you even I will carry you and deliver you the hardest thing in this whole thing of retirement is to, and we hand over it is, it is really emotional time especially if it's an organization that you have started blood, sweat, and toil and then when you're handing over leadership or you're handing over the organization to somebody else it's a very emotional thing but remember God is still God through all the seasons you look back, you ponder, you thank God and you, you know, just let go at times right? alright, any questions, any thoughts we have another 10 minutes so we get into the next chapter entrepreneurship so even if we get into this we can try and complete on witness day which is the next class we can complete, any questions on saving, retiring retiring the questions alright, good I just wanted to share like thank you, thank you so much Pastor Pauls, these truths are so incredible like it's a privilege to even realize these because days and months just go by but just to pause and really think yeah, what I can do now I might not be able to do when I'm old it's really thought provoking yeah, thank you, thank you so much it's welcome yeah, so these things happen told to me by people, you know who are much older and it's obvious when you're 20, 25 we can, you know, stand kneel down for a couple of hour even an hour and three but when you're 60 you can't do that it's not like the zeal for God the fire for God has gone away it's physically difficult when I'm 30 I can eat whatever I want, I think it's going to happen you know your body is immune to all this whatever we eat we get old we can't, you got to restrict your food, you got to restrict things so the same way just do as much as you can you would faithfully we are young so when we look back say God, thank you the beggar says, I read somewhere that in biblical Hebrew there is no word for retirement what's your take on it okay I'm sure about the Hebrew but this whole thing of retirement came in it's a natural term it's not a biblical term people retired in the Bible to retire simply means it's more of a word that is used in the army so you attack you retire you hold back, you stay back you don't go for the fight or you don't do any action, you retire now I'm not sure about the Hebrew context but when you look at the Old Testament there are times when God has basically taken certain responsibilities from somebody and given it to someone else so he's not saying Moses has signed the retire your work is done he's not saying it but the action shows it so Moses you're not going to enter the promised land from for what you did at the rivers of Kadesh you will stand and see the promised land but Joshua will take it further your responsibilities over Elijah and Elisha Elijah you've been here long enough your time is going to be next is Elisha Saul you were the king of course you did things wrong but your time is up David is going to come in so if you look at God he's always worked through seasons but you also see for example Abraham he lived a long life and he was satisfied for the rest of his life and his generations were blessed if you look at Jacob the same thing lived a long life his generations were blessed so it was when you look at the old covenant the word may not have been there but the meaning of it or the essence of retirement may have been there but the word wouldn't have been there like for example Trinity the word is not there but it's there the essence of it is there the Father, Son, Holy Spirit it's there so forgive me but I don't know the Hebrew the exact Hebrew words but maybe the essence of retirement and the essence of handing over leadership that is definitely there in the old covenant we see it also in the new covenant we see where apostle Paul has raised up leaders he says to Timothy his last two letters to Timothy he's giving them instructions saying this is what you have to do and these are things that you have to fulfill the task that you have to do and of course here the scenario was different Paul knew that his life is going to end but he was ready for it and he just passed on the pattern to Timothy in terms of emphasis so it's there but the word may not be there anything else alright so we'll stop now we
