      i think it's really i <.>ca</.> i can see myself getting really
      really high you know well

  <WSC#DPC307:0250:TN>
      i mean with the lord eh <{><[>you know</[>

  <WSC#DPC307:0255:TN>
      just really go for god you know his spirit and the witnessing to
      a lot of people and preaching a lot

  <WSC#DPC307:0260:TN>
      and like he really brought me down eh

  <WSC#DPC307:0265:TN>
      it brought me down

  <WSC#DPC307:0270:TN>
      it was like oh sometimes you know sometimes you know when there
      are times when you don't really need to say much

      um

  <WSC#DPC307:0305:TN>
      it really brought me down and now it's time to really get into
      more testament for the lord

  <WSC#DPC307:0310:TN>
      but not not necessarily a skiting blah <&>8:00</&> blah blah

      i mean there's <{><[>nothing</[> wrong with that

  <WSC#DPC307:0320:TN>
      but there's a time now to calm down and to really <,> in awe

  <WSC#DPC307:0325:TN>

      um

  <WSC#DPC307:0375:TN>
      like there will always be people to criticise you and so if you
      try and follow up try to justify yourself to those people
      <latch>
