Aliw Pablo: Hi, Brother Eric, thank you so much for joining us. And before we bring on our guest that you're going to thank, can you tell us a little something Brother about who you're going to be thanking today? Brother Eric Waterman: Today, I'm thanking Brother Bob Pellien.  I met Brother Bob Pillien back in 1989, he introduced me to my beautiful wife and then he married my son, and he's been there on all the important occasions of my life and always been there whenever I needed him, good times, bad times, storms and sunny days and rainy days. You know, just a real solid brother, a really nice friend, you know, could never count your blessings. But he's one of the greatest blessings of my life. Aliw Pablo:  From INC Media Audio, this is Making Changes, a podcast about the changes we go through and the life lessons we learn along the way…always with God by our side. I’m your host, Aliw Garcia Pablo.  Hi everyone! Welcome to season 2 of Making Changes. I know it’s been a while we’re really excited to share this new season with you. You know, it’s not surprising that everyone who works on this podcast loves to hear stories about big life changes, the pivotal moments in our lives when everything begins to shift. But lately, we’ve also been talking a lot about those friends, acquaintances, sometimes, complete strangers—those individuals who become instrumental in making these big changes in our lives. And that’s exactly what brought us to season 2 of Making Changes.  We’re calling this our “Thank You” series—it’s basically surprise phone calls or video calls to people who have made a positive change in someone’s life, and it’s a chance to say thank you.  Today, we’ll hear from  Brother Eric Waterman, a minister of the gospel who will be talking to a friend and fellow minister who has had a great impact in his life for over 30 years. Let’s listen in…  Brother Eric Waterman:  Good morning, Brother Bob. How are you there?  Brother Bob Pellien: Brother Eric! Nice to hear from you, Brother. We haven't talked in a long, long time. How have you been? How's the family? Brother Eric Waterman: Oh we're very well, Brother.  Brother Bob Pellien: So are you getting old yet? Brother Eric Waterman: Yes, I hit the big 65 last year. So I'm officially a senior citizen. So I have my senior moments now. So but I try, I try my best to be happy.  Brother Bob Pellien: There you go. Brother Eric Waterman: Brother Bob, I just wanted to take the moment to really from the bottom of my heart, really, thanks for always being there. Always being a great friend. And always for the constant reminders, the advice, your kindness, the care, the counsel. You know, you've counseled me with my mom, with my ministry and my membership with my wife, with my family and with my kids. I mean, whenever I needed it, it just seemed like I got through to you, you know, and like, you were you were the cavalry, man. You were always you know, when I was surrounded, and the Indians were all around me, you would always just say, Brother, you know, we're sending the cavalry. And every time you know, it was just there. And, you know, that's what friends are for, you know, to the good times. Brother Bob Pellien: We really consider you Brother Eric, a very dear friend and an important part of our family and our life too. But no need to thank me because it's God that is good. You know,
