EP: 10 "Double Digits"

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,440
Howdy, and welcome to episode 10 of Hello Fairview. Wow, double digits. We are on our way.

2
00:00:08,980 --> 00:00:14,820
This is your local podcast for Fairview made right here in Fairview for the people in Fairview

3
00:00:14,820 --> 00:00:19,520
and the surrounding areas. This is a weekly show released every Wednesday featuring stories to aim

4
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:25,220
to inform and inspire. Local radio stations and newspapers don't exist anymore in small towns

5
00:00:25,220 --> 00:00:30,260
like ours. So we'll use Hello Fairview to fill the void with news related to Fairview. This is

6
00:00:30,260 --> 00:00:34,380
a value for value podcast, which means you contribute what you can based on the value you

7
00:00:34,380 --> 00:00:38,740
receive. This is a concept founded by the podfather himself, Adam Curry, and his co-host,

8
00:00:38,860 --> 00:00:43,780
John C. Dvorak of the No Agenda Show over 18 years ago. Currently, this is just a one-man

9
00:00:43,780 --> 00:00:48,780
operation. So if you have any ideas, events, business opportunities, job openings, or news,

10
00:00:48,780 --> 00:00:56,420
let us know if you just use the contact form on the website you are producer of the show you are

11
00:00:56,420 --> 00:01:00,840
not the product like many others because your time and attention are not being sold to advertisers

12
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:05,940
for value so some shows are going to be longer some will be shorter but we'll do my best to keep

13
00:01:05,940 --> 00:01:11,740
things relevant traffic time and normal busy you could still wait about two to five minutes to make

14
00:01:11,740 --> 00:01:17,100
a left in the morning in the afternoon on Cumberland and 100 and those areas especially around

15
00:01:17,100 --> 00:01:21,700
school the Cumberland 100 intersection is still getting worked on they're working on the building

16
00:01:21,700 --> 00:01:27,700
the culverts on the east and westbound sides to widen the road and make basically little mini

17
00:01:27,700 --> 00:01:34,720
bridges we are less than one year out from it being done so we will hopefully see that it just

18
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:41,860
keeps moving and keeps getting better red light update we still have three and we're waiting for

19
00:01:41,860 --> 00:01:46,980
the one eventually to be turned on at city center entrance and at Cumberland 100 which I think the

20
00:01:46,980 --> 00:01:49,980
Cumberland 100 may be a year out or so for there.

21
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:54,620
We don't know what that will really do to the traffic as a whole, but we will wait and see.

22
00:01:55,420 --> 00:02:02,140
City center, there's still some construction enclosures there as it looks like they're getting ready to actually start paving, which will be good.

23
00:02:03,860 --> 00:02:05,720
And let's get to we're growing.

24
00:02:06,540 --> 00:02:09,700
So city news, got some commissioner updates.

25
00:02:10,060 --> 00:02:11,220
Commissioner reached out.

26
00:02:11,220 --> 00:02:14,200
The health department is still open across from elementary school.

27
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,740
It is recently being renovated and is ready to help.

28
00:02:16,980 --> 00:02:20,840
They have a stock of vaccines if needed and other medical services.

29
00:02:21,180 --> 00:02:22,400
So please go check them out.

30
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:27,080
The Fairview Police Department Shop with a Cop program is wrapping up.

31
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,600
All the nominations were supposed to be in last week, so it should be good.

32
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,120
The City Blanket Drive is still running until the end of this weekend.

33
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:39,240
This is where it's going to be until the 24th at City Hall.

34
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,440
And they're only accepting new blankets to be donated at City Hall.

35
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,220
So just make your trip over there and do that.

36
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:46,560
Christmas trees.

37
00:02:46,980 --> 00:02:57,700
There will be some Christmas trees for sale at Messick Chiropractic by the Scouts BSA Troop 297 here in Fairview.

38
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,820
And there will also be Christmas trees at Farm Fresh Vintage.

39
00:03:01,340 --> 00:03:04,360
There may also be others, but I'll be on the lookout and keep an update.

40
00:03:04,700 --> 00:03:06,780
Black Friday is the best day to get them.

41
00:03:08,100 --> 00:03:12,660
If you have time to make it then, before or after you're shopping, it's probably the best day.

42
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,160
Because that's when almost everybody will start selling Christmas trees.

43
00:03:16,980 --> 00:03:29,680
There was also a post on the city page thanking the people of the Fairview Community Education player and their donation was shop of a cop like we mentioned last time.

44
00:03:30,340 --> 00:03:37,520
Special election early voted has officially started here at the Fairview Rec Center and will go from the 19th to the 26th.

45
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:43,060
So basically from now until a little bit into next week, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays.

46
00:03:43,060 --> 00:03:49,820
And Saturday will be 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. with November 26, the last day, closing early at noon.

47
00:03:49,940 --> 00:03:51,340
So do not get there late.

48
00:03:52,140 --> 00:03:57,860
There was even a trip from Vice President Kamala Harris this week to help promote Afton Bend.

49
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,200
City gossip, kind of a new segment here, but I think it's there.

50
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:13,320
There seems to be a possible scandal brewing, but I'm hoping to see some more deeper reporting with maybe a FOIA request to get some actual numbers instead of just an anonymous tipster.

51
00:04:13,900 --> 00:04:20,800
But it's being spread around social media, but it hasn't made it to any news stations or newspapers yet.

52
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,300
So, you know, they're probably going to be waiting to hunt for some of those facts.

53
00:04:24,300 --> 00:04:34,380
But this is related to the city manager supposedly hiring Patty Carroll and Devin Halliburton for some city positions.

54
00:04:35,180 --> 00:04:42,060
And it's a hybrid role, unlike most of the other people that actually have to be there and possibly issued a city vehicle.

55
00:04:43,580 --> 00:04:46,860
We will have to see how it pans out and anything takes off.

56
00:04:46,980 --> 00:04:50,280
But we don't know all the details, but we know some pieces.

57
00:04:50,900 --> 00:04:52,680
And we'll just have to see how it goes.

58
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,200
I've got a link to one of the articles that referenced it.

59
00:04:55,280 --> 00:04:56,000
There's many others.

60
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,460
If you start searching around for it, we'll see.

61
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,860
City updates, town meetings.

62
00:05:04,220 --> 00:05:08,560
Basically, we had no board of zoning appeals since last time, planning commission, no new

63
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,920
meetings, board of commissioners, none since the last one we covered.

64
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:14,240
So that's going on there.

65
00:05:14,740 --> 00:05:19,220
Next meeting, we talked about this November 18th planning commission meeting.

66
00:05:19,220 --> 00:05:28,520
this was 163 homes approved and just last month on 1014 at the planning commission that was 183

67
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:36,400
homes so it's getting spicy so on the november 18th planning commission meeting um we had the

68
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:41,400
the main thing i won't read all these by detail but i wrote really good notes for it basically

69
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:51,320
we had it looks like one two three four five six public comments before everything got cooking

70
00:05:51,320 --> 00:06:00,240
and it was all to do with the richvale subdivision the brightland homes and drb homes because drb

71
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:07,360
bought brightland and these major structural issues with their houses where some of them are

72
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:11,060
We're looking at $20,000 to $150,000 to fix it.

73
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:12,480
Mold issues.

74
00:06:13,700 --> 00:06:27,340
I mean, just abnormally soft floors, breaking floor joists, wireless ceiling trusses and roof trusses that aren't actually connected to the walls.

75
00:06:27,460 --> 00:06:28,220
They're just floating.

76
00:06:28,900 --> 00:06:31,600
So major, major problems in this subdivision.

77
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:36,880
And this was just a couple of the houses, and apparently it's almost all of the houses.

78
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:45,240
I'm not sure if they're phase one, two, three, or four, but everyone that was there had had their house no more than 14 months.

79
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,140
So it's relatively new houses.

80
00:06:49,280 --> 00:06:55,700
These houses were 700,000 to a million plus, and they're having these types of problems.

81
00:06:56,060 --> 00:06:57,220
And I don't know.

82
00:06:57,300 --> 00:07:03,180
It's very, very sad, and I don't know what's going to be done, but we're just going to keep watching it.

83
00:07:03,260 --> 00:07:05,660
And I know there's a lot of work being done, and we'll get into that.

84
00:07:05,660 --> 00:07:12,680
so the next thing was the agenda and minutes both passed 8-0 unanimous no big deal there was no old

85
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:20,260
no old business but there was new business and so one of them was pc resolution 4625 which was

86
00:07:20,260 --> 00:07:30,320
another richville subdivision which was phase five of that this passed 7-1 with mayor anderson

87
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:38,660
abstaining for vote. This is 39 homes put on 17 acres. This went back and forth a little bit,

88
00:07:38,740 --> 00:07:42,860
got a little heated with some questions of people saying maybe we should stop work order.

89
00:07:43,380 --> 00:07:50,640
The city attorney said you need to focus on the ordinance and the planning and not on previous

90
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:57,520
phases. This is a phase five proposal. And so after going back and forth and a couple times

91
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:04,540
when the crowd was talking to the DRB, Brightland Homes representative, that they said, you need to

92
00:08:04,540 --> 00:08:09,440
be quiet and be professional, and we've got to get through this. This isn't about their issues.

93
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:16,200
This is about this issue. So it was definitely one of the more interesting ones that have happened

94
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:24,140
in a while. So it's passed. It's moving on. There'll be more homes. PC resolution 4725,

95
00:08:24,140 --> 00:08:30,800
passed 8-0. No questions. This was 29 homes on 15 acres. This is the Hatcher Heights subdivision.

96
00:08:32,420 --> 00:08:35,660
Person got up there. They didn't ask any questions. I guess everything looked good

97
00:08:35,660 --> 00:08:41,900
with the final plat. PC resolution 4825 passed 8-0. There was a question on whether the

98
00:08:41,900 --> 00:08:47,220
residence that was close to this was on well water, but they were unable to find out.

99
00:08:47,680 --> 00:08:53,420
There was talk about erosion control and how this property should be unaffected either way if the

100
00:08:53,420 --> 00:08:59,320
persons on well water that based on what they're doing. Um, there was a question about a buffer

101
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:04,900
along the Crocut road and responded about, uh, those properties that were not required,

102
00:09:04,900 --> 00:09:09,940
but the builder was going to put a semi opaque buffer, which I guess means bushes you can see

103
00:09:09,940 --> 00:09:14,040
through or something. Uh, there was a question of the definition. Mr. Greer said there wasn't

104
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:20,940
anything that they knew officially. Um, they're also showing a rear setback, uh, from extending

105
00:09:20,940 --> 00:09:26,300
the rear setback on these properties that are bordering the road and other interiors from 20 feet

106
00:09:26,300 --> 00:09:32,780
to 35 feet to help with planning and they ask if they could make a conditional improvement and it

107
00:09:32,780 --> 00:09:37,900
went back and forth to the city attorney and a couple of the commissioners and was brought up

108
00:09:37,900 --> 00:09:44,140
there and it was also a drainage swell so that they added that for that conditional access the

109
00:09:44,140 --> 00:09:49,660
motion was made to install a landscape border on the crocut roadside of at least 20 feet wide

110
00:09:49,660 --> 00:09:58,860
and that was approved 8-0. And that was for the Cove, which has 50 homes on 28 acres.

111
00:09:59,980 --> 00:10:10,700
So that's a big one there. And our next one was PC resolution 4925 passed 8-0. There was a question

112
00:10:10,700 --> 00:10:17,260
on whether there was an opportunity to connect this property to Boone Road. There was some

113
00:10:17,260 --> 00:10:23,900
limitations due to some drainage and the floodplain and the cemetery size this fairview 17 which is

114
00:10:23,900 --> 00:10:33,180
what this one's about was 45 homes on 17 acres so you can see the density of the stuff is is pretty

115
00:10:33,180 --> 00:10:40,380
impressive one of the guys came from clq the mayor made a comment this said that she appreciated

116
00:10:40,380 --> 00:10:48,420
that this was they chose to go rs8 instead of rs5 based on city feedback this the all these homes

117
00:10:48,420 --> 00:10:53,900
will have sprinklers because there is just one way in and one way out so they'll all have fire

118
00:10:53,900 --> 00:10:58,740
protection built into it there was there was a question about traffic study and there wasn't one

119
00:10:58,740 --> 00:11:05,540
done because they didn't meet the threshold of a hundred homes or more so when it's a hundred homes

120
00:11:05,540 --> 00:11:10,840
they have to pay for a traffic study. That's basically what we learned there. Then there was

121
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:17,140
a question about how the connection could work. Mr. Greer expanded that these people could have

122
00:11:17,140 --> 00:11:22,580
access through frontage of Fairview Boulevard with a property to the west of this property

123
00:11:22,580 --> 00:11:27,540
if it was ever developed, which they expect it most likely will be, and that this would give

124
00:11:27,540 --> 00:11:33,140
them access, along with Cedar Crest, to the red light at city center to hopefully make things a

125
00:11:33,140 --> 00:11:48,984
little easier for them so we see how that goes PC resolution 502580 this was just a calendar adoption for 2026 to February 2027 there was a couple typos and other things that were found which is good that that

126
00:11:48,984 --> 00:11:49,864
all situated now.

127
00:11:50,684 --> 00:11:54,304
And they talked about how they tried to make the schedule around Williamson County Schools

128
00:11:54,304 --> 00:11:57,204
so they didn't have conflicts because they had a couple this year that they had to move

129
00:11:57,204 --> 00:11:59,344
around and it's never going to be perfect.

130
00:11:59,444 --> 00:12:00,504
And we all understand that.

131
00:12:00,504 --> 00:12:11,484
PC resolution 5125 and 5225 were both acceptances of infrastructure from Adams Preserve and Pinnock

132
00:12:11,484 --> 00:12:16,864
Place. I didn't see any details on the agenda of that, and there wasn't any details on there,

133
00:12:16,924 --> 00:12:21,384
and they didn't talk about details. There was no questions, but I guess it means they have water

134
00:12:21,384 --> 00:12:26,624
or something. I don't know. We'll have to see. Then we got to the staff reports, and the city

135
00:12:26,624 --> 00:12:32,504
planning staff was the first one. They talked about the development code and how there's 194

136
00:12:32,504 --> 00:12:38,164
comments that have been submitted. And around 50 of those were all related to the old Harding Road

137
00:12:38,164 --> 00:12:42,484
conditional use for the racetrack that was submitted, which they were all just copy and

138
00:12:42,484 --> 00:12:47,504
paste. So it was multiple people submitting the exact same request based on conditional use and

139
00:12:47,504 --> 00:12:51,404
how they should change some of the words for some of that to make sure it doesn't happen and they

140
00:12:51,404 --> 00:12:57,144
can't come back and do it again. Attached to the reports, they're working on getting staff comments

141
00:12:57,144 --> 00:13:03,524
for each one of those public comments. So you'll see that in the next little bit. The city attorney

142
00:13:03,524 --> 00:13:10,124
mentioned that, you know, we will, there will be, one of the commissioners asked if there was ways

143
00:13:10,124 --> 00:13:15,764
to change the ordinances afterwards. And he said, yes, it's very regular for cities to do that.

144
00:13:16,124 --> 00:13:21,024
But the most important thing is to actually save up a couple. You don't want to approve changes to

145
00:13:21,024 --> 00:13:26,444
your ordinance every single meeting because you'll have one every single meeting. And so that

146
00:13:26,444 --> 00:13:32,064
was also good to know. There was also a question about the certificate of occupancy in light of

147
00:13:32,064 --> 00:13:42,604
the public comments of Richvale and what we should do. And if they adhere to the codes and they said

148
00:13:42,604 --> 00:13:49,924
that they use the ICC codes or IRC codes and so that the inspections have to be completed. A

149
00:13:49,924 --> 00:13:53,744
question I was asked if you needed a structural engineer to approve this and they said it's not

150
00:13:53,744 --> 00:14:00,684
required for residential which makes sense there was also you know talking about the open position

151
00:14:00,684 --> 00:14:06,804
still for the associate planner and they asked a question if two hours was going to be enough time

152
00:14:06,804 --> 00:14:13,624
to review the development code because it's a long big thing and he said yes based on if you go ahead

153
00:14:13,624 --> 00:14:19,104
and review it now ask a couple questions before this meeting that they'll have basically three

154
00:14:19,104 --> 00:14:22,644
weeks to do that. And I've attached those there in the show notes. So you can see that

155
00:14:22,644 --> 00:14:29,224
a city manager talked about the Richvale residents and how he's been working with him as much as they

156
00:14:29,224 --> 00:14:34,444
can. He has empathy for their situation. Uh, we've requested inspection reports be sent to the

157
00:14:34,444 --> 00:14:38,784
planning staff and the list of options to be prepared to what we can do. And that will be

158
00:14:38,784 --> 00:14:44,004
emailed out soon. There's only so much the city can do in a situation like this. And once ownership

159
00:14:44,004 --> 00:14:49,744
of the property has been taken by the tenant, the person, after the building process is complete,

160
00:14:49,924 --> 00:14:54,384
right? So while they're building, the city does have some control, but once it's been turned over

161
00:14:54,384 --> 00:14:58,984
and that occupancy has been issued and the deed has been moved over, then that limits their powers.

162
00:15:00,224 --> 00:15:05,244
City engineer staff reports, nothing tonight. City attorney, nothing tonight. He was very active

163
00:15:05,244 --> 00:15:10,964
the rest of the night, you know, throughout this, so it was there. Planning commission roundtable,

164
00:15:10,964 --> 00:15:15,324
nothing for mr writ and i may have got some of these names mixed up uh so i'm sorry about that

165
00:15:15,324 --> 00:15:21,484
before we start here um mr mcdonald uh asked what the when did we find out about these richvale

166
00:15:21,484 --> 00:15:30,064
issues mr greer said on october 19th or 29th mr king asked about uh promoted the saturday at 3 p.m

167
00:15:30,064 --> 00:15:34,644
charlotte middle school the eight to nine year old titans will be playing against burns both teams

168
00:15:34,644 --> 00:15:39,744
are undefeated to this point so someone's going to have to finally lose and the titans have it let

169
00:15:39,744 --> 00:15:44,384
another team score on them this whole year, which is great. Uh, Mr. Cali said, thanks to everything.

170
00:15:44,384 --> 00:15:49,104
And, you know, uh, Thanksgiving, Mr. Pape said, thanks to the team and all their work for the

171
00:15:49,104 --> 00:15:54,524
ordinance stuff that they've been doing, which is good. And Mr. Dawson, thanks for helping,

172
00:15:54,524 --> 00:15:59,084
uh, getting the amendment sorted out. Cause there was a lot of verbiage going back and forth of how

173
00:15:59,084 --> 00:16:06,684
to structure that conditional use for that opaque barrier, um, for that, uh, subdivision. And thanks

174
00:16:06,684 --> 00:16:11,524
everyone that came out uh for public comment and his prayers are with them for resolution

175
00:16:11,524 --> 00:16:16,864
mary anderson when she got there she mentioned how frustrated she is to see this stuff

176
00:16:16,864 --> 00:16:22,744
as as a person she cares about them and what she can do but she'll work in her official capacity

177
00:16:22,744 --> 00:16:27,304
where she can she also talked about how nice the development of them and how these homes are so

178
00:16:27,304 --> 00:16:33,264
expensive and it's the most single expensive item you'll ever buy and it's disturbing that this type

179
00:16:33,264 --> 00:16:39,524
of stuff is happening to just not just one house, but maybe even up to 15 houses. Um, I don't know

180
00:16:39,524 --> 00:16:45,124
the exact logistics of what they can do. Um, but these little things we're used to like, you know,

181
00:16:45,124 --> 00:16:49,844
nail pops and paint stuff, and this little trim came off and this is loose or whatever,

182
00:16:49,844 --> 00:16:57,444
but major structural and mold issues is so crazy. Uh, citizen Lisa says that she should be able to,

183
00:16:57,444 --> 00:17:05,024
they shouldn't be able to build here anymore. Um, but mayor, uh, Lisa knows that there doesn't

184
00:17:05,024 --> 00:17:11,744
appear to be an avenue to make that happen. Um, she also wanted to say that she'd like it to stop

185
00:17:11,744 --> 00:17:15,004
before the, so they can get this stuff fixed, because that would probably be the only way they

186
00:17:15,004 --> 00:17:20,604
could do it, but there might not be a legal way to do that. Um, she is worried also based on one,

187
00:17:20,664 --> 00:17:26,324
a couple of people's comments based on their one year warranty is that she is worried that these,

188
00:17:26,324 --> 00:17:32,924
this company may actually be purposely stalling to not fix these or acknowledge these issues to

189
00:17:32,924 --> 00:17:38,804
that one year a warranty has expired and then there is no recourse for the owner so you know

190
00:17:38,804 --> 00:17:43,444
ten thousand or hundred and fifty thousand dollars will have to be shelled out by them

191
00:17:43,444 --> 00:17:50,084
so that is not good board of commissioners there's no new meetings um there is one tonight

192
00:17:50,084 --> 00:17:53,104
or this week on November 20th.

193
00:17:53,104 --> 00:17:58,604
And the agenda for that is, you know, city manager report approving the minutes 6125,

194
00:17:59,044 --> 00:18:04,724
which is a resolution for adopting the schedule from the planning commission that we just talked

195
00:18:04,724 --> 00:18:06,544
about and making that official.

196
00:18:07,244 --> 00:18:12,744
There's resolution 5425, which is the board of commissioners authorizing install stop signs

197
00:18:12,744 --> 00:18:15,044
on old national road at Jones lane.

198
00:18:15,284 --> 00:18:19,844
So that's the commissioner hall doing that resolution 6025.

199
00:18:20,084 --> 00:18:25,784
which is allowing the fire department to participate in the James L. Richardson driving

200
00:18:25,784 --> 00:18:32,764
training grant program. So we'll see what that is. Parks and Landscape Board action items. And this

201
00:18:32,764 --> 00:18:38,024
is Commissioner Roberts. This was from the previous meeting of the Board of Commissioners where we

202
00:18:38,024 --> 00:18:43,124
said, what is the Park and Landscape Board doing? Because this is like a non-governmental body.

203
00:18:43,584 --> 00:18:48,084
Maybe they can do something to help. And so we'll see what that is. And then there was also a

204
00:18:48,084 --> 00:18:53,184
discussion added of talking about the out parcel into the land trust, which was going to be the

205
00:18:53,184 --> 00:18:57,884
shooting range, which has changed back to nothingness. And this is Commissioner Roberts

206
00:18:57,884 --> 00:19:04,464
doing that. Next board of commissioners town hall is January 29th, 2026. Parks and Landscape

207
00:19:04,464 --> 00:19:10,504
Board is December 1st at 7 p.m. at the Historic Village at Triangle School. Around town coffee,

208
00:19:10,624 --> 00:19:15,624
there's not one until January 14th, 2026, and there's no beer board planned. The state of

209
00:19:15,624 --> 00:19:23,684
Tennessee. The government shutdown is done, basically. Now that only buys us some time and

210
00:19:23,684 --> 00:19:28,644
will require more votes and deals to be made for another shutdown to happen because this continuing

211
00:19:28,644 --> 00:19:35,644
resolution obviously has expirations in it. Just like we said earlier, former vice president came

212
00:19:35,644 --> 00:19:39,804
to support Afton Benn in a rally, holding a megaphone and doing their things. There wasn't

213
00:19:39,804 --> 00:19:45,724
any really good clips of that because the audio wasn't very good our governor is planning to

214
00:19:45,724 --> 00:19:53,224
appeal a ruling from a david david davidson county chancellor on monday that temporarily blocked

215
00:19:53,224 --> 00:19:58,904
governor lee from continuing to deploy the tennessee national guard in memphis december 2nd

216
00:19:58,904 --> 00:20:04,584
just like we talked about is our special election for the 7th u.s district which is our u.s house

217
00:20:04,584 --> 00:20:09,584
seat for aft and ben for the democrats and matt van epps for the republicans based on the primary

218
00:20:09,584 --> 00:20:15,304
results. More news is going back and forth now about the other potential seats and stuff like

219
00:20:15,304 --> 00:20:21,824
that. But right now, turnout is down over 75% for Middle Tennessee. So there is not a lot of people

220
00:20:21,824 --> 00:20:27,104
getting out and voting and early voting is now official. And I'd recommend everyone doing that

221
00:20:27,104 --> 00:20:31,364
instead of waiting to December 2nd and going through that. The Music City Loop is really

222
00:20:31,364 --> 00:20:37,284
starting to digging. There's a little bit, some very large machinery is moving in. And so that

223
00:20:37,284 --> 00:20:42,004
will start actually making the big loop instead of just drilling some of the stuff and there was

224
00:20:42,004 --> 00:20:47,344
also a report in the news there that they're going to make 20 stops along the way from the airport to

225
00:20:47,344 --> 00:20:54,304
downtown and i don't see how that would work well when the las vegas tunnel only has one you know

226
00:20:54,304 --> 00:21:00,424
one beginning one end nothing in the middle because it's not either fast or efficient so

227
00:21:00,424 --> 00:21:05,424
we've talked about this before like if this was just a rail system underground subway that would

228
00:21:05,424 --> 00:21:10,904
be a whole nother ball of wax. Today, the Tennessee Department of Education announced key dates for

229
00:21:10,904 --> 00:21:15,904
the Education Freedom Scholarship Program's second year in implementation. It's encouraged

230
00:21:15,904 --> 00:21:23,004
and interested families across the state to apply for the universal school choice program that

231
00:21:23,004 --> 00:21:28,224
allows parents to choose the school that best fits their child's needs, regardless of income level or

232
00:21:28,224 --> 00:21:36,484
zip code. The bills. So nothing is going on this week, uh, except to the 24th next week. Uh, I

233
00:21:36,484 --> 00:21:41,284
figured they would have just taken the week off and this week off or did it this week, but on

234
00:21:41,284 --> 00:21:45,784
November 24th at 11 AM, the joint committee is meeting at the state building commission and

235
00:21:45,784 --> 00:21:51,484
executive subcommittee. Uh, of course, like always pretty much no agenda. So you can't figure that

236
00:21:51,484 --> 00:21:57,564
how's the Hill. Well, uh, you know, uh, how's the Hill right now? It's passable. It's been kind of

237
00:21:57,564 --> 00:22:02,544
rainy and it's apparently going to get colder soon the weather guessers are predicting

238
00:22:02,544 --> 00:22:09,724
predicting the highs maybe in the 60s with lows in the 20s starting next wednesday next show day so

239
00:22:09,724 --> 00:22:13,344
it's going to be a little nice a little soggy but it's going to go there

240
00:22:13,344 --> 00:22:19,204
new businesses nothing new was spotted uh ace hardware still brewing other than that i haven't

241
00:22:19,204 --> 00:22:26,424
spotted anything else there's still a couple open spots at uh where cornerstone and uh papa john's

242
00:22:26,424 --> 00:22:30,584
so we'll have to see there. Farmer's Market. Make sure you head to the Farmer's Market every

243
00:22:30,584 --> 00:22:36,704
Saturday morning from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Messick Chiropractic and Fairview Fresh Deli Donuts for

244
00:22:36,704 --> 00:22:41,164
their life-changing apple fritters located across the road from Publix. There are so many good

245
00:22:41,164 --> 00:22:46,084
places to get local beef, pork, breads, treats, local fruits, and vegetables along with some hot

246
00:22:46,084 --> 00:22:50,404
sauce, fishing lures, and a lot of other holiday gifts this time of year. So definitely go support

247
00:22:50,404 --> 00:22:55,484
some local businesses. Brick and mortar highlight we're going to do this week. We're going to do

00:30:36,828 --> 00:30:38,508
So if you can help them out, that'd be great.

328
00:30:38,508 --> 00:30:43,308
and if you have a student driving make sure they check in with the principal

329
00:30:43,308 --> 00:30:48,028
to get their school g-link for checkpoints driving program and your parking pass

330
00:30:48,028 --> 00:30:55,568
faith moment this is another sermon from our fairview zone ian gilchrist at one church home

331
00:30:55,568 --> 00:31:00,068
this is still tracking the story of david and second samuel but this talks about

332
00:31:00,068 --> 00:31:05,348
his brokenness especially in his later years and how it led to great things so let's just get into

333
00:31:05,348 --> 00:31:13,748
it. Your worship will never be deeper than your humility. Let me say that one more time. Your

334
00:31:13,748 --> 00:31:22,528
worship will never be deeper than your humility. Brokenness is the soil where true praise grows.

335
00:31:23,628 --> 00:31:29,928
We want to learn how to worship like David. We want to find ourselves in that place that can say,

336
00:31:29,928 --> 00:31:33,468
no matter what I've been through, no matter what I'm going through, no matter what's to come,

337
00:31:33,468 --> 00:31:36,368
God I praise you for your faithfulness

338
00:31:36,368 --> 00:31:37,288
for your consistency

339
00:31:37,288 --> 00:31:39,048
for the way you love us

340
00:31:39,048 --> 00:31:40,568
and never give up on us

341
00:31:40,568 --> 00:31:42,688
we want to keep that kingdom perspective

342
00:31:42,688 --> 00:31:45,568
it will happen on a bended knee

343
00:31:45,568 --> 00:31:47,928
to say God

344
00:31:47,928 --> 00:31:50,468
I've messed up

345
00:31:50,468 --> 00:31:53,408
it's not to say we're never going to walk in victory

346
00:31:53,408 --> 00:31:54,188
we're going to do all that

347
00:31:54,188 --> 00:31:56,768
but sometimes victory is found on your knees

348
00:31:56,768 --> 00:31:58,648
before a mighty and holy king

349
00:31:58,648 --> 00:32:01,608
saying God I'm imperfect

350
00:32:01,608 --> 00:32:03,268
I've screwed up again

351
00:32:03,268 --> 00:32:05,688
God, I feel like my knees are busted.

352
00:32:05,788 --> 00:32:07,008
I feel like I live there.

353
00:32:07,828 --> 00:32:09,148
God, I can't believe you're using me.

354
00:32:09,168 --> 00:32:10,188
I can't believe you do that.

355
00:32:10,608 --> 00:32:12,308
But look at what you've done.

356
00:32:12,348 --> 00:32:13,388
Look at your faithfulness.

357
00:32:13,728 --> 00:32:16,628
Allowing sin to have its way, crushing us,

358
00:32:16,628 --> 00:32:22,048
and allowing from that humility, God, to prosper and do what we never could imagine.

359
00:32:23,808 --> 00:32:26,288
It is the bedrock of our worship.

360
00:32:27,888 --> 00:32:30,128
The other thing I want to note from this song

361
00:32:30,128 --> 00:32:35,208
is that God restores our purpose

362
00:32:35,208 --> 00:32:37,788
through his faithfulness.

363
00:32:39,248 --> 00:32:41,608
29 and 31, those verses, it says,

364
00:32:41,908 --> 00:32:43,568
For you are my lamp, O Lord.

365
00:32:44,308 --> 00:32:46,868
The Lord shall enlighten my darkness.

366
00:32:47,968 --> 00:32:49,988
For by you I can run against a true,

367
00:32:50,128 --> 00:32:53,108
by my God I can leap over a wall.

368
00:32:53,688 --> 00:32:55,608
As for God, his way is perfect.

369
00:32:56,308 --> 00:32:58,888
The word of the Lord is proven.

370
00:32:58,888 --> 00:33:05,728
He's a shield to all who trust him. See, David is shifting now from the confession and contrition

371
00:33:05,728 --> 00:33:14,188
of his sin to the confidence he now has in God. He's celebrating that God's word still stands,

372
00:33:14,748 --> 00:33:22,008
even after his moral failure, even after his family disaster, even after all that's gone on.

373
00:33:22,008 --> 00:33:34,328
divine faithfulness is what lights his path again it's it's so common i feel like as as people of

374
00:33:34,328 --> 00:33:41,388
faith as christians to go when times are good when things are going great when things are operating

375
00:33:41,388 --> 00:33:45,548
the way we think they should be going and you know we get the promotion we get the thing we get into

376
00:33:45,548 --> 00:33:51,848
the fill in the blank all those things kind of the the way kind of opens up to us it's like god

377
00:33:51,848 --> 00:33:56,768
is with me. Like it's easy to think about, you know, I've been blessed and God's been faithful.

378
00:33:57,828 --> 00:34:04,748
What about when the road is rocky? What about where it feels like you slip and fall and you,

379
00:34:05,048 --> 00:34:11,468
and the mud keeps, like what about when times are hard and the doors aren't opening and we can't

380
00:34:11,468 --> 00:34:16,568
make sense of, of why God would allow this and why God, it's really easy in that moment to get

381
00:34:16,568 --> 00:34:25,328
jaded and frustrated and fearful and assume he's left you. I mean, I'm just trying to,

382
00:34:25,528 --> 00:34:28,768
I'm not trying to put myself in the text. Let's all just take a second though.

383
00:34:29,288 --> 00:34:36,528
If God had anointed you to be the king, he had taken you through all the valleys. He had taken

384
00:34:36,528 --> 00:34:41,268
you through the caves. He had saved you and redeemed you. He had been walking with you. He

385
00:34:41,268 --> 00:34:46,108
had given you the kingdom. He had given you authority. He gave you everything over all those

386
00:34:46,108 --> 00:34:51,148
years that he finally had promised. Like if you had done all that and then all of a sudden you had

387
00:34:51,148 --> 00:35:05,428
a complete moral disaster that was very public, so much so that you end up impregnating this person,

388
00:35:05,768 --> 00:35:22,032
she goes you know just the whole mess of Bathsheba Then your kingdom gets stolen from you by your child because of an issue you had over here and a lack of courageousness Like you would assume at that

389
00:35:22,032 --> 00:35:26,932
moment on the other side of David dealing with Absalom, you would assume that he's just going,

390
00:35:27,172 --> 00:35:34,832
God's done with me. I mean, who wouldn't think that? You'd go, yeah, God's finished. Like the

391
00:35:34,832 --> 00:35:40,532
story's over. The lights are out. The covenant is broken. Like he would just assume

392
00:35:40,532 --> 00:35:51,592
that it's over. And yet David has confidence. He has a confidence in him to say, listen,

393
00:35:51,892 --> 00:35:58,072
even through all the things I've done, why does he have the confidence? Because he has an awareness,

394
00:35:58,072 --> 00:36:05,812
a theology, an understanding of God that's right. That God didn't anoint him because of his merit,

395
00:36:05,932 --> 00:36:13,292
and he's not letting go of him because of his brokenness. God didn't, David didn't earn God's

396
00:36:13,292 --> 00:36:21,712
love. He didn't earn God's anointing. He didn't do anything to get it. And so what in us makes us

397
00:36:21,712 --> 00:36:28,432
think that we can do a bunch of stuff to lose it. This happens every day with Christians.

398
00:36:29,392 --> 00:36:37,432
This happens all the time where we go, well, I've screwed up and I'll, you know, I did this and I

399
00:36:37,432 --> 00:36:43,292
just need to kind of pay my penance and I need to kind of stay away and, you know, I hide from God.

400
00:36:43,372 --> 00:36:46,672
I'm not going back to church. I'm not going to small group. I'm not going to my men's group. I'm

401
00:36:46,672 --> 00:36:50,952
not going to my women's group because I failed. I made a failure and I don't, you know, I'm just

402
00:36:50,952 --> 00:36:57,312
embarrassed. I don't want to look like I'm a two-faced kind of person. And we hide from God

403
00:36:57,312 --> 00:37:04,512
in a moment where God's going, what are you hiding from? You didn't do anything to get into

404
00:37:04,512 --> 00:37:10,192
my presence. Why would you think that doing something would keep you away from me? I died

405
00:37:10,192 --> 00:37:18,532
so you could be with me. And so there's this reality that David was aware. It's not by my

406
00:37:18,532 --> 00:37:25,052
merit that God's been faithful to me. It's because it's who he is and that becomes part of his song.

407
00:37:26,332 --> 00:37:33,912
He restores David, not by David's actions, but because of his own God's faithfulness.

408
00:37:34,772 --> 00:37:38,952
Second Timothy 2.13, it says, if we are faithless, he remains faithful.

409
00:37:38,952 --> 00:37:50,672
when failures darken your path beloved it's it's god's word that will relight our way

410
00:37:50,672 --> 00:37:58,432
restoration isn't the the the erasing of our past it's the redemption of it

411
00:37:58,432 --> 00:38:06,072
that's what david understood that's what david was able to get a hold of and finally

412
00:38:06,072 --> 00:38:11,852
I think this is perhaps the most important thing, right?

413
00:38:11,952 --> 00:38:14,052
Like David is singing this song.

414
00:38:14,132 --> 00:38:17,552
He's making this final song to God

415
00:38:17,552 --> 00:38:20,832
that we have recorded in 2 Samuel.

416
00:38:20,972 --> 00:38:24,112
We see this story

417
00:38:24,112 --> 00:38:30,652
where God leaves his legacy through a worshiping heart.

418
00:38:30,652 --> 00:38:33,712
I think the most defining feature about King David

419
00:38:33,712 --> 00:38:37,272
as we look at his courageousness,

420
00:38:37,332 --> 00:38:38,392
as we look at his leadership,

421
00:38:38,592 --> 00:38:42,572
as we look at all the things he does and accomplishes,

422
00:38:42,672 --> 00:38:44,872
the very thing that I believe

423
00:38:44,872 --> 00:38:47,572
is the most defining part of who he is

424
00:38:47,572 --> 00:38:50,692
is that he started as a worshiper out in the field

425
00:38:50,692 --> 00:38:53,072
and he's going to end as a worshiper on the throne.

426
00:38:53,252 --> 00:38:55,272
That's what makes him David.

427
00:38:58,832 --> 00:39:02,052
We're going to move forward to 2 Samuel 23, 1 and 2.

428
00:39:02,152 --> 00:39:02,512
It says,

429
00:39:03,712 --> 00:39:06,472
these were the last words of David.

430
00:39:07,572 --> 00:39:09,872
Thus says David, the son of Jesse,

431
00:39:10,032 --> 00:39:11,772
thus says the man raised up on high,

432
00:39:12,412 --> 00:39:14,552
the anointed of the God of Jacob

433
00:39:14,552 --> 00:39:17,912
and the sweet psalmist of Israel.

434
00:39:19,032 --> 00:39:21,272
The spirit of the Lord spoke by me

435
00:39:21,272 --> 00:39:22,152
and his words,

436
00:39:23,092 --> 00:39:24,792
his word was on my tongue.

437
00:39:26,332 --> 00:39:29,172
David's final identity isn't king

438
00:39:29,172 --> 00:39:31,372
and it isn't warrior.

439
00:39:32,352 --> 00:39:33,452
It's psalmist.

440
00:39:33,712 --> 00:39:40,332
his defining characteristic is that the spirit spoke through him.

441
00:39:41,232 --> 00:39:44,212
This is the prophetic legacy of David.

442
00:39:45,672 --> 00:39:49,092
The title sweet psalmist of Israel ties back to his youth.

443
00:39:49,192 --> 00:39:51,592
We could go all the way back to 1 Samuel 16, 23,

444
00:39:52,032 --> 00:39:55,952
when his harp soothes Saul's torment.

445
00:39:57,012 --> 00:39:59,372
The spirit that once flowed through a shepherd's song

446
00:39:59,372 --> 00:40:01,832
now concludes through a king's psalm.

447
00:40:01,832 --> 00:40:08,292
the same anointing carried from his pasture to his palace of prosperity.

448
00:40:09,432 --> 00:40:18,312
We see David defining himself, saying, listen, all the things I've gone through, all the things I've

449
00:40:18,312 --> 00:40:25,312
done, all my wins and all my losses, the thing that really defines me is not my victories on

450
00:40:25,312 --> 00:40:32,812
the battlefield. It's not my victories in political or geopolitical politics. It's not my

451
00:40:32,812 --> 00:40:38,152
wins or my losses. It's the song God's put on my heart.

452
00:40:43,732 --> 00:40:49,832
Your life's highest title is not your role, but it's the relationship you have with God.

453
00:40:49,832 --> 00:40:56,572
as we think about this an application for our own life we think about what do we do with

454
00:40:56,572 --> 00:41:02,352
with with what David is revealing what David has done and how David is starting to finish

455
00:41:02,352 --> 00:41:10,152
his race as we look at this the entirety of his life I'm not saying that everybody in this room

456
00:41:10,152 --> 00:41:18,332
is a songwriter that would probably get interesting but I am saying that every one of you have a song

457
00:41:18,332 --> 00:41:19,832
that God's putting on your heart.

458
00:41:20,492 --> 00:41:23,132
A story that He's writing in you.

459
00:41:25,272 --> 00:41:26,912
And you're not going to be defined

460
00:41:26,912 --> 00:41:29,332
by every part of the story,

461
00:41:29,412 --> 00:41:30,252
the highs and the lows.

462
00:41:30,312 --> 00:41:31,212
You're not going to be defined

463
00:41:31,212 --> 00:41:32,872
by your greatest accomplishments.

464
00:41:33,072 --> 00:41:34,012
You're going to be defined

465
00:41:34,012 --> 00:41:36,872
by His faithfulness through it all.

466
00:41:39,812 --> 00:41:41,492
We're going to be able to leave behind

467
00:41:41,492 --> 00:41:42,492
the sound of worship,

468
00:41:42,632 --> 00:41:44,432
not the noise of success.

469
00:41:44,432 --> 00:41:49,892
David's story ends where it began

470
00:41:49,892 --> 00:41:51,432
with worship

471
00:41:51,432 --> 00:41:55,752
the boy who sang to sheep

472
00:41:55,752 --> 00:41:59,192
now sings as the king restored

473
00:41:59,192 --> 00:42:01,952
his failures didn't define him

474
00:42:01,952 --> 00:42:04,532
the one defining feature of David

475
00:42:04,532 --> 00:42:07,872
is the way he responded to God

476
00:42:07,872 --> 00:42:10,152
and ultimately how he recognized

477
00:42:10,152 --> 00:42:11,812
how God responded to him

478
00:42:11,812 --> 00:42:15,992
Psalm 1846 says the Lord lives

479
00:42:15,992 --> 00:42:17,412
blessed be my rock

480
00:42:17,412 --> 00:42:20,192
let the God of my salvation be exalted

481
00:42:20,192 --> 00:42:23,132
that's the defining song of David

482
00:42:23,132 --> 00:42:26,372
so my encouragement for you today

483
00:42:26,372 --> 00:42:32,312
my application for us today

484
00:42:32,312 --> 00:42:35,612
is to look at our own story

485
00:42:35,612 --> 00:42:38,432
to look at our own life

486
00:42:38,432 --> 00:42:41,752
to look at our own situation

487
00:42:41,752 --> 00:42:44,932
no matter where you've been or what you've been through

488
00:42:44,932 --> 00:42:48,932
and allow the perspective of David

489
00:42:48,932 --> 00:42:52,072
the perspective of an aged king

490
00:42:52,072 --> 00:42:54,972
that had been through it all

491
00:42:54,972 --> 00:42:59,172
allow that perspective of looking back on his story

492
00:42:59,172 --> 00:43:02,292
and not letting any one of the situations define him

493
00:43:02,292 --> 00:43:06,732
but seeing this weave, this thread of God's faithfulness through it all

494
00:43:06,732 --> 00:43:09,312
let that be in us too

495
00:43:09,312 --> 00:43:11,472
that we could understand

496
00:43:11,472 --> 00:43:13,492
that what we're going through,

497
00:43:13,592 --> 00:43:15,732
I believe there's people in this room right now

498
00:43:15,732 --> 00:43:17,532
going through it,

499
00:43:18,892 --> 00:43:19,332
wondering,

500
00:43:19,932 --> 00:43:21,412
will this define me?

501
00:43:22,432 --> 00:43:23,512
Is this my future?

502
00:43:23,592 --> 00:43:24,592
Is this all I'm going to get?

503
00:43:24,632 --> 00:43:25,612
Is this the best I've got?

504
00:43:25,612 --> 00:43:27,972
I can't believe it got here.

505
00:43:29,332 --> 00:43:30,612
And my encouragement,

506
00:43:30,792 --> 00:43:32,372
my exhortation to you today

507
00:43:32,372 --> 00:43:36,732
is to start looking for the faithfulness of God

508
00:43:36,732 --> 00:43:38,332
right in the middle of it.

509
00:43:38,332 --> 00:43:41,932
and watch and see how he doesn't birth a song out of your life.

510
00:43:43,292 --> 00:43:45,152
He's not done.

511
00:43:46,632 --> 00:43:47,152
Amen?

512
00:43:49,012 --> 00:43:50,092
Father, we love you.

513
00:43:50,652 --> 00:43:53,072
We thank you for David.

514
00:43:53,772 --> 00:43:55,492
As we start to wrap up this series,

515
00:43:55,592 --> 00:44:00,032
I pray that we would see the perspective of all that he went through.

516
00:44:00,652 --> 00:44:04,232
And just like him, we'd let it start to write that song in our heart.

517
00:44:04,232 --> 00:44:07,912
as we keep our eyes lifted up

518
00:44:07,912 --> 00:44:10,252
upon you and who you are

519
00:44:10,252 --> 00:44:11,432
and what you've done.

520
00:44:13,152 --> 00:44:14,672
Knowing that what we're going through

521
00:44:14,672 --> 00:44:16,212
is difficult and hard

522
00:44:16,212 --> 00:44:17,492
and sometimes we caused it

523
00:44:17,492 --> 00:44:18,492
and sometimes we did it

524
00:44:18,492 --> 00:44:19,472
and sometimes it's fair

525
00:44:19,472 --> 00:44:20,532
and sometimes it's unfair.

526
00:44:20,952 --> 00:44:23,032
All of it is just part of the story

527
00:44:23,032 --> 00:44:23,632
you're writing.

528
00:44:24,932 --> 00:44:27,472
So Lord, give us a posture of courage

529
00:44:27,472 --> 00:44:29,392
to hit our knees in humility

530
00:44:29,392 --> 00:44:29,872
and say,

531
00:44:30,252 --> 00:44:32,552
use us how you want to, O King.

532
00:44:32,552 --> 00:44:38,272
O king that made a way where there was no way, who brought us home through the person of Jesus.

533
00:44:39,372 --> 00:44:45,172
Use our lives as you see fit and help us to be faithful as you are faithful.

534
00:44:45,732 --> 00:44:49,372
We honor you today and we worship you in Jesus' name.

535
00:44:50,472 --> 00:44:51,312
Amen, church?

536
00:44:52,172 --> 00:44:54,252
Amen, amen, and amen.

537
00:44:54,392 --> 00:44:55,052
God bless you guys.

538
00:44:55,132 --> 00:44:56,872
Have a fantastic week.

539
00:44:57,452 --> 00:44:58,172
Welcome back.

540
00:44:58,172 --> 00:45:03,872
I hope you learned a little bit of this brokenness and how it shapes and how it can lead you to your intended path.

541
00:45:04,472 --> 00:45:06,772
And sometimes that is part of the process.

542
00:45:07,192 --> 00:45:09,072
And so thank you for that great message, Ian.

543
00:45:10,312 --> 00:45:10,752
Donations.

544
00:45:10,872 --> 00:45:12,832
On the donations front, nothing new from Fountain.

545
00:45:13,272 --> 00:45:17,352
We'll have other payment options soon, just waiting to get some tax stuff finished.

546
00:45:18,312 --> 00:45:19,932
But we are good in Fountain.

547
00:45:20,092 --> 00:45:23,572
So if you use the Fountain app, you can send a boost and that will work perfectly.

548
00:45:23,812 --> 00:45:26,592
We're just working on the credit cards and that type of stuff like that.

549
00:45:26,592 --> 00:45:31,552
um it's definitely kind of annoying and so we are going to have monthly supporter options for

550
00:45:31,552 --> 00:45:36,912
three dollars and fifty cents uh if you haven't seen in the website please take a look we've had

551
00:45:36,912 --> 00:45:42,592
a lot of stuff there's a lot of businesses listed uh there was a discussion on bond trash options

552
00:45:42,592 --> 00:45:48,392
uh in the city of fairview for pickup and we listed all that out even some of the free options

553
00:45:48,392 --> 00:45:52,992
which is make your run to the convenience center or to the pinewood dump and along with what you

554
00:45:52,992 --> 00:45:57,012
can take to the Pinewood dump, which I think is very important because it's a very common

555
00:45:57,012 --> 00:45:58,052
question asked.

556
00:45:59,012 --> 00:46:03,652
And so there's a lot of different tiers that we're hopefully going to offer for that.

557
00:46:03,992 --> 00:46:05,492
So in closing, thank you.

558
00:46:05,792 --> 00:46:09,252
