In this sermon, the preacher emphasizes the importance of repentance and turning away from sin. He references biblical passages such as Matthew 3:2 and Matthew 4:17, where both John the Baptist and Jesus call for repentance. The preacher also shares a personal story about a young couple where the man postpones repentance, leading to tragic consequences. He warns against false repentance driven by fear of punishment, emphasizing the need for genuine sorrow and recognition of wrongdoing. The sermon highlights the significance of true repentance in one's spiritual journey.

I sang holy, holy, holy on the plane here, very softly so no one could hear me, and it just struck me again those words, they're the eye of sinful man, my glory may not see. If we could turn to Isaiah 7, Isaiah in what you call in America, Isaiah or something, 7 in the Bible. Before we pray I'd just like to look at a verse there, or two verses. The first is just one little part of verse 6 where it says, their baker sleepeth all the night. And then verse 8 it says, Ephraim had mixed himself among the people. Ephraim is a cake, not turn. Ephraim is a cake, not turn. Now if you look into Jews, I'm going to call it history or culture, whatever you call it, they used to have something like a pancake, and they used to bake it on a rock. And it was very easy for this pancake, this cake to be burnt on the one side, and very raw on the other side. And this is a very good picture of Ephraim at this time which is talking about Israel, in that on the one side it was overdone, and on the other side it was raw. On the one side it was overdone, and the other side it was raw. On the side of religious activity, on the side of doing things for God, it was overdone, burnt. But on the other side, on the side of knowing God in truth, of having met with God, of having a living relationship with God, it was raw, there was nothing. And this is very sad, and I wonder how much of the church of today across the world are not turned, people who do so much for God, but they've never met with God. With that thought, let us go over to prayer. Father, we thank you that you are holy, holy, holy, that you condescended to think of man, that you love us with a great and everlasting love, to the point that you gave your son, for God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. And Father, I thank you for this. I thank you for that day when I met with Jesus, a day I will never forget. And Father, I pray in this meeting that you will open up our eyes to see the wonders in thy word, that you would work in our lives. And Father, we ask for thy presence, what God is like unto our God, who is near unto us in all things which we call upon him. For in the name of Jesus Christ, I ask this now in faith. Amen. You know, I don't know if you've ever walked through a graveyard. Me and my daddy in Durban, in South Africa, have walked through graveyards. And there, across the hills, sometimes in a small little yard, there's a few gravestones, and sometimes in the big cities, there's just rolling thousands and thousands of graves. And when you're at such a place, and perhaps the verse would come to mind, Psalm 89, verse 48, what man is he that liveth? What man is he that liveth and shall not see death? Shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Now, I'm a person who likes sometimes picking up a newspaper and reading in South Africa, see what's going on in the world. And the oldest and very strangest, I won't say strangest, but not a very good newspaper, it doesn't got much information, is the Herald of South Africa. And I remember going to my grandpa's farm, and I picked up this newspaper one day, and on the front cover, there was this sentence about Zola Jack, who was a black person in Africa. And then underneath was a very strange a little article, in which it said that Zola Jack, at the age of 19 in South Africa, had been longing, after he sent his pamphlets off to get his photo ID there in South Africa, he'd been looking at the post box for months or so, and waiting to get his ID back. But instead, in the post box, there came his films. And on the films, along with these fingerprints and his picture, which he had sent in, were these words, Zola Jack, I'm sorry, we are sorry that we cannot issue with the photo ID, because you are dead. You deceased March 11, 2004. And there was a little form saying that he should make an affidavit to tell them if you're still alive. And you know, like you, the first time I read this, I thought, wow, if I got something like that, I'd put it against the wall, and show it to my grandchildren one day. But then I began to think a little more, and I thought, you know, it's so sad to much of the world who are unsafe, death is not something to be serious about. Death is not something to be serious about. I remember I was going with a missionary in South Africa, I worked with him for about a year, and we were driving in a car from town to town. In one little town there in South Africa, we suddenly stopped under a tree, I can't remember why, and we started to talk. And Taylor looked at me, and he said, I'm going to tell you a story, Roy, of when I was a little child. And he said, when I was a little child, about five years old, my older brother, Oket, he's eight, we went together, and we went to this big lake, and we went fishing. And I suppose they either threw in throw nets, or fishing rods, fishing lines, and they got some fish. And he said, they had an interesting idea, that they would do, they would play, they'd seen their parents, or sorry, they'd seen other people talking about funerals and so on, and they wanted to have a funeral. So they took this fish, and they dug a hole in the ground. And as little children, they put the fish in the ground, and then they did the death march, and they marched towards that hole. I don't know what they do in America. But what's very sad, is that he said, what I didn't know, was that at home, at about that time, my father got a pain in his heart. And when I came home, I found my father was dead, of a heart attack. And there, that game was no longer a game, that same day. He had to walk with a real funeral march, to a real hole, where they placed his real dead dad in the ground. Job 7 verse 89 says, as the cloud is consumed and vanished away, so he that goeth down to the grave, shall come up no more. As the cloud is consumed and vanished away, so he that goeth down to the grave, shall come up no more. It's like an Arab, that I saw there at the airport. I stopped over at London, for a few hours, and then I flew over to America. And he was standing before me in the line. And over the intercom, to come in again and again. You must be, if you haven't checked in, or got your boarding pass for the plane, you must be here 30 minutes before, or else we're going to take your luggage off, and we're going to cancel your flight. And this person was in front of me, and he was late. He was late. And he kept on pleading with the person in front of United Airlines, please, can't you get my stuff, and can't you give me a boarding pass. And again and again, the lady said, I'm sorry, I can do nothing, you are late. I can do nothing, you are late. When death comes, you can plead and plea, but it's too late. Before I went to Bible college, in South Africa, it's the same Bible college my daddy went to, when he was young, and he lectures there. So I had to be very, what do you call it, very good boy at Bible college, because my daddy lectures there. I was going to Bible college, apart from my father lecturing, everybody was Afrikaans, another language. And I was going to be the only English person there. And Afrikaans are very big people, they're very strong, in general. And I remember at one camp, there was a person who used to be a student, this was about six months before I went to college, and it was at a large convention in South Africa. And this person called Shane came up to me, and he said, he's going back to Bible college, he's an English person. And he said, you know what, Roy, we're going to take on those Afrikaans. I don't know how he thought that us two thin English people could take on all those big Afrikaans, but it was kind of nice having a friend. But something wonderful happened at that camp. Shane, even though he'd been to Bible college, realized that he was a cake not turned. He realized that even though he'd been to Bible college for part of his life, that he never truly met with God. He nearly truly had his sins forgiven. And he went to my grandfather there, Opa Yanni, Grandpa Yanni. And he knelt down by him, and he rose up a new person in Christ Jesus. And it was about two weeks after that, that I said to my daddy, or about a month after that, I said to my daddy, you know there's this person, his name is Shane, and he's an English person, and we're going to take the Afrikaans on. And my dad looked at me, and I still remember he said, Roy, I didn't want to shock you, but Shane's dead. He died in a motor car accident two weeks after that convention. And you know, at first I was shocked. Then afterwards I thought, you know, that's the grace of God. Two weeks before God knew he would die, God gave him a chance. He worked in his life to be saved. But later I began to think again. Is it always like that Roy? Is it always that you're going to get a chance, and just before you die, and God's going to work in your heart, that you're going to accept Christ? Proverbs 6 verse 6 to 11 says, Go to the ant, thou sluggard. Consider ways, and be wise, which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, provideth a meat in the summer, and gathereth a food in the harvest. How long would thou sleep, when would thou rise out of thy dead sleep? Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep. So shall thy poverty come as one that traveleth, and thy want as an armed man. You know, Dio Mudi, of course you all know him. He's a wonderful preacher over here in the 1800s. He once stood in a large hall, and he called out to the people. And he said to them at the end of his message, something like, those who would like to repent and receive Christ as their personal savior, please stand up. And a whole group of people stood up. A whole group of people stood up. And then one was a lady, and next to her was the person who was going to marry her, a young man. And he looked up to her, and he tugged her on the arm, and he said, darling, not tonight. Tomorrow I'll go with you, not tonight. And she, on the ground of his words, sat down. And the next day came, and she was in an accident before the meeting. And he stood there, and he saw this dead body before him. And he looked down at that dead body, and the words of yesterday came to him, not tonight, tomorrow I'll go with you. And he put his hands to his head, and he said, Christ is tomorrow. Christ is tomorrow. She was too late. My daddy was once in a meeting, and a man stood at the back. And my daddy somehow felt that he must say something to that man. And he just found himself saying, begging this old person walking out of the door, don't leave until you've made right with God. Don't leave until you've made right with God. And the man turned to him and said, I just want to think one night. I just want to think one night. My dad played with him, but he walked out the door. I think it was on the way home, he was in an accident, and he was dead. Proverbs 27 verse 1 says, boast not thyself of tomorrow. Boast not thyself of tomorrow, for thou knows not what a day may bring forth. You know, in my life, I was very, very long until about five years back, to be honest with you, a cake not turned. I knew the gospel in my head. I did many things for God. I was talked about as a wonderful Christian, but I knew there was something wrong. But I wasn't serious enough about how God could cut off my life before I was right with God, to seek him until I found him. And I was like a little child, whose father says to him, don't touch that hot plate. Don't touch that hot plate. But until he almost put his hand on the plate to make him realize how dangerous it is, he's not serious about it. And the Lord had to bring me in close contact with death before I became serious about it. I remember there in Jeffrey's Bay, South Africa, I was swimming in the sea. I don't know if you like swimming in the sea. And I'm not a very strong swimmer, but I like swimming. And I was out there swimming in the sea, and I suddenly realized after a while that I couldn't get back in. I couldn't get back into shore. And I got weak and weak, and there was only one person swimming with me. And as I was getting weaker and weaker, I suddenly realized that I couldn't keep myself up anymore. And I suddenly realized that I was going to meet with God. And I wasn't sure where I was going. I was not sure where I was going. It is a terrifying situation to be in, to know that now I'm going to meet with God. And what made it even worse was I didn't want to cry out for help, because I was scared that this one person would think little Roy can't swim. Pride kept me from calling out. I thank God I did eventually. As I was almost going under, I said to him, please help me. And he dragged me somehow back to shore. But you know another thing, when I was often in meetings, and I was the pride of the camps, and they were talking about me as a wonderful Christian, I used to sit in meetings, and I knew that God was speaking to me, and that I wasn't sure of my salvation. And pride kept me from standing up and going to the front, because I was scared the people around me would think, good Roy, look at them, concerning the drowning. It's sad to think that pride almost, almost landed me up in hell for eternity, for eternity. 2 Corinthians 6 verse 2, 3 says, beyond now is the accepted time. Now is the day of salvation. Now is the accepted time. Now is the day of salvation. Now I come to a very interesting verse in the scriptures, 1 Corinthians 15 verse 56, concerning death. It says, the sting of death is sin. The sting of death is sin. And the strength of sin is the law. The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. Now you may ask, what has the law got to do with the death? What has the law got to do with the death? I mean, Galatians 2 verse 16 says, knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ. And we know in Ephesians 2, it says, by grace you are saved through faith, and that not of yourself, but as a gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast. We're not saved through the law. So what is the purpose of the law? Well, the law is there to show good people, like I was for so many years, good people, that they too need to repent and receive Jesus Christ. They too need to repent and receive Jesus Christ. Isaiah 53 states, all we like sheep, all we like sheep have gone astray, we have turned everyone to his own way. And people don't like to be part of that awe. They say, but I have not gone astray, look at my life. And that's where Romans 3 verse 19 says, the law is there that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. You see, it doesn't only talk about adultery and murder, it talks about lying, falsehood. You must honor your parents. And therefore every single one of us, including me, for so many years was such a good person, and even knew the gospel in word. We've all sinned, we've all broken God's law, and come short of the glory of God. In Isaiah 59 it says, it's like a war, it's like a war, our sin, but your iniquities are separated between you and your God. On this side is God, on this side is you. And you can do good works for all you want, you can go to church, you can know the gospel, but if you're never dealt with that war, if it's never been washed away in the blood of Jesus Christ, then you're without God, without hope, and without God in this world. And God will come in flaming fire, taking vengeance on them that know not God, on the other side of the war. It's at this point in the sermon that I'd like to ask three questions, three questions. And perhaps, I'd love to think most of you are saved, but some of you know the questions, but listen carefully again. What is our only hope? There's a war between us and God, our sin. What is our only hope? We all know that verse John 1 verse 12, but as many as received him to them, gave you the power to become the sons of God. It says in Ephesians 2 verse 30, but now in Christ Jesus, ye that who were sometimes far off, are made nigh by the blood of Jesus Christ. In other words, when you receive Christ, now you are far off and made nigh by the blood of Jesus Christ. That wall of sin is taken away. Every deed you ever did, hallelujah. Now the second question I'd like to ask, the first is what is our only hope? Well, Jesus died for us, and because of that he can forgive us and come inside us and make us new. But can we do what we want after salvation? Can we do what we want after salvation? The Bible says in Romans, what shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we that are dead to sin live any longer there? In other words, Luke 14 verse 28 to 30 talks of a cost, counting the cost. Now I'd like to ask the third question, the first is what is our only hope? Can we do what we want after salvation? The John the Baptist, Paul and Jesus united that we must repent if we want to have forgiveness. Turn from our sins. Matthew 3 verse 2, John the Baptist says, repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Matthew 4 verse 17, Jesus says, repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Acts 26 verse 20, Paul preaches Damascus, Jerusalem, throughout all Judea and to the Gentiles, these words that they should repent and turn to God and do works meet for repentance and discount the cost. Now I'd like to give you a little illustration of false repentance, and it's a very simple illustration, but if you repented in this way, I can guarantee you that you will not enter heaven. There was a little boy, now in Africa we still give the children spankings at school, and the headmaster, I don't know what you call it, you have the principal or the main teacher of the school, he was the person who gave the biggest spankings in general. And a little child would often, when he was naughty and did something wrong, go to the principal and he would take out a cricket bat or something, something like a baseball bat and give him a little knock so that it was sore. And you can imagine he said, bend down and gave him a good smack. And then the headmaster would say, don't ever do that again or I'm going to give you a spanking. And then the little boy goes to the door and he looks at the headmaster and said, headmaster I'll never do it again. And then he walks out and he says, I'm never going to do it again because I'm scared of a spanking. But I don't think what I did was wrong. And you know many people fall short at this point. They're scared of hell and therefore they change their lives. But they're never sorry about their sins. Just to escape hell, punishment, they'll stop sinning. But they've never come to the point where they've had sorrow and they are sorry. They say, what I did was wrong. And that's false repentance. That's why if you see later certain things don't happen in your life, if you repented in that way. We must have true repentance. In America, in America, there was a man, he was a hero. I hope you have, one of you still got heroes in the world. But this man was a hero in America. I don't know if he was in the 1800s or 1700s. And he was known by the president of America. He had done some great deed for his land. But you know he had a brother who was an evil man. A man who had done such wrong in his country that he was on death row over here. And he fought for his brother. He longed that his brother could get a pardon that he might live. And so he went to the president of our land. And then in front of the president he said, president please give me a full a free pardon for my brother. Remember what I've done for this land. And the president, I suppose thought of what he'd done. Did something I don't understand a president can do. But he took a piece of paper and I suppose stamped it and signed it or something. And wrote out a full pardon for this hero's brother. And he took this free pardon and he went to the jail. And there he saw his brother. And you can just imagine he longed to give this free pardon to his brother. That his brother might live. That he didn't have to see the day where his brother was cut off from earth. But he did a strange thing. He didn't say to his brother, brother I've got a free pardon on yours. He asked him a question. He said, brother what would you do if you had a free pardon? What would you do if you had a free pardon? His brother of course didn't think it was possible to have a free pardon. And he looked him I suppose in the eyes and he said, the first thing I'd do is I'd go and kill the judge who passed the sentence on my life. And after that I'd go and kill the persons who brought me before the judge. You know that brother with this free pardon in his pocket stood up. Never told him about the free pardon. He never knew. He died without knowing about it. He stood up and he walked out without saying another word. And you know Jesus like that brother longs to give you a free pardon. He's brought it on Calvary. It's there on the cross. Everything is done. It is finished. But if you don't have true repentance, then he's going to walk out and he's going to never give you that pardon though you beg for it. You don't turn and confess your sins as wrong. Now if, if you have truly repented and received Christ, if you have truly, not false repentance, true repentance and have received Christ, you will bear fruit. The Bible says in Matthew 7 verse 19, every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire. Now my grandfather, he's got a orange farm and I've never seen a orange tree of as many orange trees in his orange farm that ever anybody had to take oranges and use sticky tape and put them under the tree. They didn't, they weren't put there. They came naturally. And when Jesus Christ is received into your heart, he will bear fruit naturally. It will be there. If it's not there, then there's something wrong. And of course you can mention of the fruit, but the other things that must be there, I'd just like to mention this first. Zeal for God is not a good enough test of your salvation. Paul was zealous for God. I preached at school. Don't know what I preached. I gave out tracts. I sang what I enjoyed singing at camps. I was a standout. They used to talk about me on the council of the missionary council. I prayed when I couldn't. I read my Bible, but I wasn't saved. Zeal for God is not a good enough test. But there was a verse that puzzled me. There's in the Bible that said, he that loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me. And he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And I couldn't understand. There was, I didn't know it perfectly. There's a war between me and God. And I love my daddy and my mommy so much. I love them with the love that, I mean, I grew up with them. I love them. I couldn't work myself up to love God who I've never met more than my mother and father, which I knew all my life. I couldn't work myself up. Until four years back when Romans five is five became true in my life. The love of God shed aboard in my heart through the Holy Spirit. You see, when Christ comes, his Holy Spirit comes on you and he sheds aboard the love of God. And now I know I love my father and mother, not less, but I love God more than my father and mother. I couldn't work that up. You can't if you're unsaved. The second thing, and I'd like to read a few verses here. Listen carefully. One Corinthians two verse 40, but the natural man receiveth not the things of the spirit. The natural man, the unsaved man receiveth not the things of the spirit. Romans eight verse nine, be now, if any man have not the spirit of Christ, he is none of his. For as many, verse 14, are led by the spirit of God, they are the sons of God. One John four verse 13, hereby know we that we dwell in him and he in us because he has given us of his spirit. The leather killeth, but the spirit giveth life. And I'd like to just ask you today, do you have the ministry of the Holy Spirit in your life? I'm not talking about funny things, I'm just asking this, the main question I could ever ask when the Holy Spirit comes into you, and suddenly the Bible will become alive. When you receive Christ, I'll say something very wrong, this book will not be book anymore, it will be word of God. And I'd like to read you some of the revivalists, what they said in this. Dear Moody, I remember one night when the Bible was the driest and darkest book in the universe to me. The next day it became entirely different. I thought I had the key to it. I'd been born of the spirit. Spurgeon wrote, if the Bible is dry to you, you'll be dry at last in hell. If you do not esteem it as better than your necessary food, there is no hope for you, for you lack the greatest evidence of your Christianity. Charles Spurgeon. Many people come up to my dad and say, I didn't have a wonderful feeling when I got saved. Obviously feeling has nothing to do with faith. My father just asked him one question, did the Bible become a new book to you when you knelt and prayed? Did the Bible become a new book to you when you knelt and prayed? And if so, you were saved. But if not, you must seek God. So zeal is not good enough. They that love God are known of him, says Corinthians. The love of God is shed upon the heart. And thirdly, the ministry of the Holy Spirit, where he comes inside us when we're born again, when we receive Christ and he opens up the Bible. Obviously there's sections which all of us struggle with, but across the Bible it becomes alive and you know God, it can only be God is speaking to you. 2 Corinthians 13 verse 5 says, examine yourselves whether ye be in the faith. And in light of the scriptures of Hebrews, where it says, as it is appointed unto men once to die, as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment. And then that day we're going to see many religious people, people who are zealous for God, takes not turn. Many shall say to me on that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name have cast out devils, and in thy name thy many wonderful works, and I shall profess unto you. Then will I profess unto them, I never knew you. Depart from me, ye that work iniquity. And light of that, we can ask ourselves the question, is it better to make certain now or later? Tomorrow does not deserve tomorrow. I was once, and I'm going to end off with two little illustrations. I was once in the Western Cape of South Africa, and I was at the house of an Afrikaner, a farmer, well most of them are, but he was doing some other work. And I remember I was doing the dishes, washing the dishes away and washing the cups. And there was this cup, and I had a problem with this cup. I couldn't remember if I'd washed it or not. And I remember, I suppose I thought of the trees and the birds and stuff like that, and it somehow was confusing to me whether I'd washed it. So I turned to this person, and I just asked him simply, what must I do? I don't know if I've washed this cup. I mean obviously I should have just washed it and not asked him. But he turned to me, and he said in another language, Roy, if you're not certain, wash it again. If you're not certain, wash it again. In other words, make certain this time. Now I have a great, great, something like that, auntie, name is Tony, Emily. She's dead. And she as a little child came out for salvation, and at her deathbed, I think my dad was at her deathbed, a few hours before she died. And she said, Keith, I've got a problem. I came out, I was uncertain as a young child, and asked God to save me. But I never had what you people have. It was an amazing change in my life. And of course my grandfather was a drunkard, and my dad came out of sin. And she lived with these wonderful changes in their lives. And he said, I never had that. You keep on speaking about being born again. And my dad looked at her, as he talked about the death that was entering her life just shortly before she died. And he said, auntie Emily, thank God that you didn't have to change from the lives we changed from. But, auntie Emily, just in case, because we're not playing with the soul in eternity, we're going to pray now. And we're going to ask God, and basically he prayed, Lord, and she prayed after him, I am uncertain, and if I am safe, please confirm it for me. But I'm just in case I'm not. Lord, I'm going to look to the death of Jesus Christ on the cross. I'm going to look to the death of Jesus Christ on the cross, and to the blood of Jesus Christ to cleanse me, to save me from judgment. And he finished praying, and he said, Amen. My daddy said a little tear ran down her face, and she just said with a smile, thank you, dear. Thank you. She died with peace. She made certain. I'd like to ask you three questions in your life. Have you repented? Have you repented and received Christ? Is there fruit? Did the Bible become alive to you? Did the Bible become alive to you? I've been honest with you four years ago. I thank the Lord for opening up my eyes. But I went to a room, and I knelt down, and I made certain. And as a sinner, I looked to the blood of Jesus Christ, and I stood up a new person. I never will be the same. I can say from my heart that the Bible became a new book to me, and God was precious, and he changed my life. And for many years, I was a cake not turned, and the part of religious activity burnt. On the other side, a living relationship with God, nothing. Let us pray. I'd just like to ask today with your eyes closed, is there someone like me who's uncertain? With all your eyes closed, you just like to ask God today. You want to make certain today to know, like I made certain, like my younger brother Samuel made certain in one of my meetings a few years back. What a joy. And you want to make certain today, just raise your hand now. Is there anybody? Thank you for those hands. Anybody else? I'm giving you one last chance. I know how many times I sat in a meeting, and I never put my hand up. I never came up. I'm giving one last chance for anybody else. Thank you for those hands. Not many, but praise God for every soul that makes certain. Okay. I'm going to pray now, and then I'd like to ask, and with your eyes closed now still, I'd like to ask those only two or three that responded after I've prayed to come to me, and we'll go to somewhere, and I'll take you through the Scriptures, and I'll show you how to be certain. And God cannot lie. Let us pray. Father, thank you for this day. Thank you for thy Word. Thank you that you are the King of kings and Lord of lords, and that you gave your Son to die on a cross. You so loved us that you gave your Son to die for us. And Father, I ask if there's anybody else even tonight that isn't certain, that you'd work in their lives to come and pray with us, and to truly turn to thee. In Jesus Christ's name, my dear Father, Amen. I'd just like to ask before we go on, I don't know what's happening after this, Brandon, whether they're going to have tea or something, because I'd like to go to those, there was only two people, or three, I can't remember, but those people, I'd just like to go to a room and show a few Scriptures to them. So if they would come with me, I don't know where I can go, Brandon. You don't know either? Into the room, okay. Or sit there somewhere at the back or something, and then just pray. And the rest of you can be dismissed, but I don't know. We're lucky. But please, don't be ashamed. Come if you respond.
