May the Road Rise Up to Meet You | KEV Talks Podcast Farewell
9/18/2023
In May the Road Rise Up to Meet You, I say goodbye to the 'KEV Talks Podcast' listeners and guests from my 5 years of podcasting.
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
Stay safe, wash your hands, and Godspeed y’all,
Kevin
