Welcome back to this episode. So today, ladies, I want you to stand up strong. Go ahead. Actually, if you're not driving, go ahead, stand up, put your shoulders back, put your chest out. Brace yourself with your feet a little bit shorter. We shoulder length apart and just look forward and stand strong young lady because you, my friend are a lighthouse. I don't know why a lighthouse has just kept kind of appearing to me as I'm driving through. I'll see something that says light house, or I drove, I drove by a church that has a program called the lighthouse, but I decided to go ahead and talk to you ladies about a lighthouse because as I started studying and looking through things and thinking about the lighthouse, it made me think of you ladies, because you ladies are a lighthouse.

It is in an area where, where it will light up the most hazardous or dangerous of coastlines. So it's strategically placed intentionally placed in the most hazardous and most dangerous places. And this is to guide the safe entry of ships to harbors, or again, that aerial navigation. So while these were wildly used in the past, operational lighthouses have declined. So the use of operational lighthouses has declined. Interesting. I feel like because the use of lighthouses have declined because of the, of the maintenance of the lighthouse. Now, I find that interesting because it makes me think about our culture. If we are lighthouses symbolically, how expensive does it have to get until we decide that we need to become an operational and stop shining our light because it get
