14:09
also when you mentioned how you're
14:12
looking forward still to the profit the
14:14
do right but as well as like touching
14:16
the people but I'm curious when you have
14:20
such a an abundance what is the biggest
14:25
Financial investment you made that had
14:27
the biggest return and then what is the
14:30
smallest Financial investment you made
14:33
that also had the biggest return uh the
14:36
biggest is is my properties okay you
14:40
know my properties so um um the smallest
14:44
um I don't know what the smallest it
14:47
could be maybe a book something that
14:49
cost like $5 but expanded your
14:53
um well I I I I read a lot of spiritual
14:57
books okay and that don't they don't
14:59
they don't cost a lot of money but but
15:01
the word is bigger than the wisdom than
15:04
than the ca that's right so so I would
15:08
say that the smallest is there one that
15:10
you can share with us uh Jesus Calling
15:14
