back to New York yeah believe ya see you again soon I'm so too did like to have you back here I was once with the Lord but now I'm not so sure it was very long ago retreat he was there with me in the drizzling rain peace was all around there was not a sound only the spirit of the law I was in the GAR and I remember it was the last to be and I wonder did you see all the love for you and [Music] lightning flashed across the sky I didn't want to die so I cried out to the Lord I had tasted sin and then I died with and make it's what I wore he whispered in my he made it very clear but I would have to go from the ground and to the dust return from wins all right I'll have that drawing up and contact a bank in Los Angeles it is but that's fine I think it's a great idea I'm gonna tell George when I see him Sunday for dinner okay good I should have that to you by the end of the week thank you [Music] I smell chicken dinner must almost be ready this might look like in your toast the one about the long drive from California please while your grandmother and I had just gotten married and for a honeymoon we decided to drive out west and see the sights how far did you get you know we made it all the way to Joshua Tree National Park in California no small feat considering that not all the interstates were built yet did you drive on the dirt roads no no paved roads mostly federal and state highways in California my wallet was stolen and it had all of our money in it kids and grand Paul I've done this story why don't you guys go get washed up and get ready for dinner where was I you're stuck in California very annoyed to get back thank goodness there are a lot of good Samaritans we started back home with faith in the Lord and the good people that he created you kids to be cleaned up a healthy boy that hey Dad do you want to pray over there no this is your home it's hard to believe she's not here that this isn't sure hold and Sunday dinners it's not the same it never will be son but that doesn't mean we stop living the Lord would expect us to and so would she I just wish Alan was here worried about Alan listen Denise has got you sitting across from the kids I hope that's okay certainly I'll see you in a dining room there I just hope he's okay I mean New York can be a lonely place I'm sure he's fine he's got plenty of friends up there George there's something I need to talk to you about after dinner it's very important yes sir [Music] yeah we need dad's gone this year olds Tuesday [Music] [Music] sorry I'm late again yeah well he almost made it on time they told me at the funeral home that lots of people showed up for the visitation yeah never folks asked about you I told him he's just running a little late thanks nice work on the headstone momdad designed it themselves I just had to make sure that they're gone it's just you and me now this will be what and get to the reception soon yeah yeah we got a meeting at the attorney's office after well I guess we better get going you drive didn't you just took the kids in our car how'd you know I'd show that faith let's go since George already knows why we're here I'll do this for your benefit as you've probably guessed we're here for the reading of your father's will I thought I'd crossed my mind but he didn't have much to leave us did he this shall serve as an amendment to my will dated October 20th the only change to be made is the challenge that must be met before my sons George Jr and Alan are to receive their respective inheritance it says here that you are to explain the challenge to Alan you remember that story dad used to tell us about how he and mom was coming back from their honeymoon and he lost his wallet California I was people helped them across the country to get home and dad kept a list of names and addresses and some thank-you cards and checks that's right it will hear something I just learned right before he died it was dad's goal he wanted to travel back through those towns and personally thank those folks but guess life got in the way you never got the chance that sounds like pops the challenge is for you and your brother to travel across this country visiting those people or their relatives and thank you them personally if you want your inheritance inheritance what part of a rundown old house and beat-up old car yo dad said you'd be all about the money so since you are all about the money Alan I have to say there is quite the reward if you fulfill your father's request yeah how much when you get to Los Angeles there's a bank with a cashier's check for $500,000 made out to Allen Barnett what yeah well while you were busy ignoring mom and dad for the last ten years dad sold the business make a lot of money I thought he'd lost the business well that's exactly what he wanted you to think he knew you'd be back down here with your handout that's insulting that's true so do you have to go on this trip to get the inheritance or do you get it either way the kids all have trust funds made out for them but George has to make this trip with you before he can get his equal inheritance so if I don't play your silly little game and neither one of us gets paid all right I'm in how long is this gonna take and where do we need to go [Music] from here you'll go to Mount Vernon Illinois from there you will go to Boonville Missouri then to Junction City Kansas fires Colorado and then Grand Junction Colorado next stop is Cedar City Utah and Blythe California then to Indio and after that on to Los Angeles from there you can pick up your check and fly back to New York we drive all across the country looking for these people and nobody knows who they are we can't find them or their relatives your father thought of that if you make this trip and the businesses are closed or the people and their families are long gone then you will make a donation to the local church here are two envelopes with $100 bills for you to give as donations or thank you so you both decide and here is an expensive envelope full of cash and please do keep your credit card receipts George and Allen George will be checking in with me periodically if you bill there will be no inheritance okay when are you leaving after church tomorrow church yes Church and we're all going don't worry son I'll be home on time okay all right I gotta go I gotta take this call I love you Steve Cole hey Steve it's Patricia Patricia good to hear from you how did it go they're on their way tomorrow thanks for coming in on a Saturday to help me I'm glad to do it talk to you soon bye [Music] how'd it go well it's it's hard to explain that's right listen Alan and I have to travel to California when tomorrow we've got two couches so you boys get comfortable this is made like shut up listen dad changed his will he'll what salary night up travel back through those towns that he and mom traveled through coming back from their honeymoon remember his story maybe why in the world would he want you to do that wants us to thank all those folks that helped him along the way he never got the chance no I was thinking take a week maybe two Oh baby look please just trust me on this okay look it was dad's last request okay you change Alan and not the other way around you got it yeah [Music] realist your mind in the arse [Music] raise your mind [Music] man Wren's you're in the the blame [Music] your song [Music] it's the wrong envelope and it's got to cash in get the one that's got the map in the story for the next half [Music] okay next stop Mount Vernon Illinois bed and Belinda Collins they gave him a meal and a full tank of gas yeah that's to take a cast got mom and dad home a whole band balloon you're still alright so the I serve into preacher gate this morning huh nice and long might have been the shortest sermon uttered the faster gift I don't know you do it every Sunday it gives me a sense of purpose faith I guess my kids the chance to get to know the Lord Fellowship in the church oh great another sermon I've already had two in one day I'm just saying that that that sermon was about the Good Samaritan I felt like that was for dad I know he would have loved him don't tell me about the Good Samaritan oh it's a Sunday school too you know I'll think about it down I mean if that traveler had a chance to come back here years later and thank the Good Samaritan that's what we're doing here good sermon whatever you say George what's that the Good Samaritan didn't do it for her thank you no no he did [Music] excuse me Oh miss excuse me hi how are you I was wondering if you could help us out this lot it was our understanding that this used to be an old gas station and diner but yeah it was a Collins food and fuel when I was a little kid what happened well it went out of business about 20 years ago they tore it down a few years after that hey you wouldn't happen to remember anything about that the old owners would you add in Melinda Collins yeah they they died a few years ago why do you want to know well long story very long story they had helped our folks out this was years ago we just wanted to stop by and think [Music] so now we're traveling back the route that mom and dad took coming back from their honeymoon and it's trying to find the folks that help them along the way and if we can't find them I don't know maybe we're looking for a relative or something well you're in luck they have a daughter Donna she lives just west of town really you wouldn't mind like introducing desert Sue and telling us how to get in touch with religions oh that would be so great [Music] oh thank you so much yeah my name is Gina Forrest you can just tell Donna that I sent you I think she'll be really happy to meet both of you Thank You Gina Forrest thank you so much good luck take care have a good day we have to tell that story every time we'll makes it to California in about two minutes I love telling that story but don't ruin it for me [Applause] [Applause] you must be the fella said Gina called about did she tell you while we were here she told me enough so you fellas are here to thank me for something that moms and pops did for your parents like 50 years ago it was a request of my debt well our dad before he died it was pretty important to him Pop's told me years ago about a young couple on their honeymoon that he helped get back home the young man swore he would pay that back and he actually did boy was he surprised our dad was a man of his word and he really wanted to thank you folks personally but life got in the way isn't that always the case so personal thank you and this oh oh well uh I appreciate the thank you but you don't owe me anything I know that and so did dad well you thought you'd do something good with it yeah donate it to the church or feed the hungry thank you bless you bless the both of you and your father after the church and a half for groceries you have my word would you boys like to come

true he said he thought that if you and I could travel for a couple of weeks together just just you and me maybe we could learn to be brothers again so it's not about thanking the people that helped them oh no that's part of it oh he's not the primary reason but it was a good excuse so they wanted us to learn to be brothers I guess I can understand that yeah well don't understand too fast they thought that if you and I could get close enough that I could convince you to leave New York come back home so I'm being manipulated into moving back home yeah well they thought when you got back home

just been dealing with so much anger lately you know just anger towards mom and anger towards dad and you read the fact they both died and you earth myself for not even being there and I've been angry with you well I reckon look been pretty angry with you - I know and I will I don't even blame you did I tell you standing here right now just how huge this is it sort of makes everything feel small don't you be you know the all the problems my life just just a story I've created place like this reminds me what's really important [Music] ladies in pizza place [Music] and he said certain man had two sons on the end of them said to his father father give me the portion of goods that falls to me so he divided to them his livelihood and not many days after the younger son gathered all together journeyed to a far country and there wasted his possessions with prodigal living [Music] kind of hits close to home Hey well this absently I'm a little busy right now we just grab me a sandwich okay nice then jesus answered and said a certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell among thieves who stripped him of his clothing wounded him and departed leaving him half dead now by chance a certain priest came down that road and when he saw him he passed by on the other side but was a Levite when he arrived at the place came and looked and passed by on the other side but a certain Samaritan as he journeyed came where he was and when he saw him he had compassion so he went to him and bandaged his wounds pouring an oil and wine and he set him on his own animal brought him to an inn and took care of him on the next day when he departed he took out two denarii gave them to the innkeeper and said to him take care of him whatever mourn you spend when I come again I will repay you so which of these three do you think was neighbor to him who fell among the thieves and he said he who showed mercy on him and jesus said to him go and do likewise I thought I knew the Bible from Sunday school I guess I really didn't my parents lives my brothers mine the messages on here when I in more aras in the more give me Jesus give me Ichi Jesus give eg this whole world give me G [Music]
