You will find that there is a 39th chapter in Jeremiah
This is vigil John Grey

I don't know why it is always "we" when it's only one person but we'd love to talk to you

Mr. Tait, I was so upset that I was not able to, uh, communicate your message at the appointed time
I've got another bishop on the phone with me
Bishop Murphy, would you speak, uh, to Bishop Tait over here
Hello
How ya doin'?
You know, we were, we were just talkin' about you and how about that, uh, that anointed music that you let me listen to on yesterday
And there's an incredible that God has getting ready to do
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah, thank Ya, Lordy
Ya know, Bishop, I was thinking about young Michael Tait
He's got those wonderful dread loops in his hair
And I was thinkin' that maybe we should take him before the church and pray
Okay
You know, because, uh, the, the Bible talks about in the 2nd Samuel [?]
Ha
They were over there in that thing over there
Oh, yeah
An', uh, there was some, there was some things that were goin' on
Ah
And then they were brought over there to [?]
Oh, yeah
They gave that strange fire
And see now that, that has everything to do with his hair
Uh huh
Ya know, Bishop, I thank you, Bishop Murphy, that you were able to come into this
Think of this as [?] -less we agree
And if you gon' run, you can't walk 'til you run
Right
I mean, how else could you walk?
But how you gon' walk if you ain't got kneecaps?
Ya have to have, you know, sciatic nerves, nerve endings, metacarpals and tarsals, and meta- metacrucial ligaments
Ha ha
[?]
Ha ha ha
Bishop Tait, God bless you
You have a wonderful evening
Continue to live holy as best you can
Ha ha ha
I mean, no, really
Continue to do the best you can and walk that thing out
Ah? Yeah
