Day of your life. we only get one journey through this life,

We only get one journey through this life, and we certainly might

"well, is that really right? am i supposed to just enjoy my life?"

Enjoy my life?" well, john 10:10 says, "the thief comes to steal,

Well, john 10:10 says, "the thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy.
00:00:40.497 --> 00:00:41.664
"the thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy. but jesus said, 'i came that

Kill, and destroy. but jesus said, 'i came that you might have and enjoy

But jesus said, 'i came that you might have and enjoy your life and have

You might have and enjoy your life and have it in abundance to the full

It in abundance to the full until it overflows.'" and see, the thing we have
00:00:50.140 --> 00:00:51.040
Until it overflows.'" and see, the thing we have to realize is we don't have
00:00:51.107 --> 00:00:52.242
And see, the thing we have to realize is we don't have to be doing something enjoyable
00:00:52.308 --> 00:00:54.244
To realize is we don't have to be doing something enjoyable in order to enjoy life.
00:00:54.310 --> 00:00:57.213
To be doing something enjoyable in order to enjoy life. it's the joy of the lord,
00:00:57.280 --> 00:00:59.916
In order to enjoy life. it's the joy of the lord, that's our strength.
00:00:59.983 --> 00:01:02.118
It's the joy of the lord, that's our strength. and that's the real
00:01:02.185 --> 00:01:02.886
Gift that he's given us,
00:01:02.952 --> 00:01:04.020
Gift that he's given us, is we can have his joy.

Gift that he's given us, is we can have his joy. when you're doing

Is we can have his joy. when you're doing an unpleasant chore,
00:01:08.825 --> 00:01:10.460
When you're doing an unpleasant chore, something you don't
00:01:10.527 --> 00:01:11.060
An unpleasant chore, something you don't really wanna do.

>> joyce: you turn it on,
00:01:46.462 --> 00:01:47.263
>> joyce: you turn it on, and it goes, "ha, ha ha ha ha."

00:01:51.234 --> 00:01:52.769
>> [audience laughing] >> joyce: so, down to business. still talking about making
00:01:52.835 --> 00:01:54.037
>> joyce: so, down to business. still talking about making the most of your time.
00:01:54.103 --> 00:01:56.739
Still talking about making the most of your time. you know, time is too
00:01:56.806 --> 00:01:57.807
The most of your time. you know, time is too valuable to waste.
00:01:57.874 --> 00:02:01.511
You know, time is too valuable to waste. when you really--
00:02:01.578 --> 00:02:02.145
Valuable to waste. when you really-- i don't know,
00:02:02.212 --> 00:02:03.079
When you really-- i don't know, i think we all think
00:02:03.146 --> 00:02:05.815
I don't know, i think we all think we'll just be around forever.
00:02:05.882 --> 00:02:09.586
I think we all think we'll just be around forever. you know, we don't wanna
00:02:09.652 --> 00:02:10.353
We'll just be around forever. you know, we don't wanna be morbid and sit
00:02:10.420 --> 00:02:11.254
You know, we don't wanna be morbid and sit around thinking about,
00:02:11.321 --> 00:02:13.356
Be morbid and sit around thinking about, "i'm going to die."
00:02:13.423 --> 00:02:14.757
But the fact is,
00:02:14.824 --> 00:02:15.992
But the fact is, is we all will.
00:02:16.059 --> 00:02:18.294
But the fact is, is we all will. and as we know,
00:02:18.361 --> 00:02:20.263
Is we all will. and as we know, time goes by really fast.
00:02:20.330 --> 00:02:21.731
And as we know, time goes by really fast. we always talk about,
00:02:21.798 --> 00:02:22.565
Time goes by really fast. we always talk about, "i can't believe how fast
00:02:22.632 --> 00:02:23.666
We always talk about, "i can't believe how fast the time goes by."
00:02:23.733 --> 00:02:25.101
"i can't believe how fast the time goes by." but one of the reasons why
00:02:25.168 --> 00:02:26.302
The time goes by." but one of the reasons why time seems to go by so fast
00:02:26.369 --> 00:02:28.037
But one of the reasons why time seems to go by so fast is because we're too busy.
00:02:28.104 --> 00:02:31.507
Time seems to go by so fast is because we're too busy. the busier i am,
00:02:31.574 --> 00:02:32.542
Is because we're too busy. the busier i am, the faster my life seems to go.
00:02:32.609 --> 00:02:34.677
The busier i am, the faster my life seems to go. and so, i think all of us
00:02:34.744 --> 00:02:37.013
The faster my life seems to go. and so, i think all of us could use just slowing
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:38.581
And so, i think all of us could use just slowing down a little bit.
00:02:38.648 --> 00:02:39.482
Could use just slowing down a little bit. and that's gonna necessitate
00:02:39.549 --> 00:02:40.950
Down a little bit. and that's gonna necessitate saying "no" to some things,
00:02:41.017 --> 00:02:43.219
And that's gonna necessitate saying "no" to some things, saying "no" to yourself,
00:02:43.286 --> 00:02:44.287
Saying "no" to some things, saying "no" to yourself, "no" to some people.
00:02:44.354 --> 00:02:46.556
Saying "no" to yourself, "no" to some people. and as i said, "no,"
00:02:46.623 --> 00:02:47.590
"no" to some people. and as i said, "no," is a complete sentence.
00:02:47.657 --> 00:02:50.026
And as i said, "no," is a complete sentence. you don't have to give five
00:02:50.093 --> 00:02:54.931
Is a complete sentence. you don't have to give five explanations why it's "no."
00:02:54.998 --> 00:02:56.399
You don't have to give five explanations why it's "no." it's just, "no, i can't do it."
00:02:56.466 --> 00:03:00.403
Explanations why it's "no." it's just, "no, i can't do it." i wonder how many people
00:03:00.470 --> 00:03:01.437
It's just, "no, i can't do it." i wonder how many people at the end of their life
00:03:01.504 --> 00:03:02.372
I wonder how many people at the end of their life feel that they truly live
00:03:02.438 --> 00:03:03.773
At the end of their life feel that they truly live the life they were meant
00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:04.774
Feel that they truly live the life they were meant to live or wanted to live.
00:03:04.841 --> 00:03:08.211
The life they were meant to live or wanted to live. how many have regrets about
00:03:08.278 --> 00:03:09.412
To live or wanted to live. how many have regrets about the things they intended
00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:10.446
How many have regrets about the things they intended to do but somehow never
00:03:10.513 --> 00:03:11.447
The things they intended to do but somehow never got around to doing?
00:03:11.514 --> 00:03:13.349
You only have one
00:03:14.450 --> 00:03:15.485
You only have one life and if it isn't going
00:03:15.551 --> 00:03:16.853
You only have one life and if it isn't going the way you want it to,
00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:18.021
Life and if it isn't going the way you want it to, now is the time to make changes.
00:03:18.087 --> 00:03:22.692
The way you want it to, now is the time to make changes. and maybe god has you here
00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:23.960
Now is the time to make changes. and maybe god has you here today just to hear this message.
00:03:24.027 --> 00:03:27.030
And maybe god has you here today just to hear this message. maybe there's some things that
00:03:27.096 --> 00:03:28.431
Today just to hear this message. maybe there's some things that you've known for a while
00:03:28.498 --> 00:03:29.632
Maybe there's some things that you've known for a while you needed to do and you just
00:03:29.699 --> 00:03:30.933
You've known for a while you needed to do and you just keep putting it off and putting
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:32.168
You needed to do and you just keep putting it off and putting it off and putting it off.
00:03:32.235 --> 00:03:34.070
If you're not living
00:03:35.638 --> 00:03:36.205
If you're not living a productive life, don't blame
00:03:36.272 --> 00:03:37.607
If you're not living a productive life, don't blame it on your circumstances,
00:03:37.674 --> 00:03:39.275
A productive life, don't blame it on your circumstances, other people,
00:03:39.342 --> 00:03:40.243
It on your circumstances, other people, the way the world is today,
00:03:40.310 --> 00:03:43.046
Other people, the way the world is today, how you were raised,
00:03:43.112 --> 00:03:44.714
The way the world is today, how you were raised, or anything else.
00:03:44.781 --> 00:03:45.882
How you were raised, or anything else. blame is totally useless.
00:03:45.948 --> 00:03:51.754
Or anything else. blame is totally useless. i blamed all my bad
00:03:51.821 --> 00:03:53.122
Blame is totally useless. i blamed all my bad behavior on the fact that
00:03:53.189 --> 00:03:54.357
I blamed all my bad behavior on the fact that i was abused growing up.
00:03:54.424 --> 00:03:55.658
Behavior on the fact that i was abused growing up. and god put on my heart,
00:03:55.725 --> 00:03:59.429
I was abused growing up. and god put on my heart, "that's the reason you
00:03:59.495 --> 00:04:00.530
And god put on my heart, "that's the reason you are the way you are,
00:04:00.596 --> 00:04:01.564
"that's the reason you are the way you are, but don't let it be an excuse
00:04:01.631 --> 00:04:03.066
Are the way you are, but don't let it be an excuse to stay that way."
00:04:03.132 --> 00:04:05.868
But don't let it be an excuse to stay that way." and just because you had
00:04:05.935 --> 00:04:07.403
To stay that way." and just because you had a bad start doesn't mean
00:04:07.470 --> 00:04:08.571
And just because you had a bad start doesn't mean you can't have a good finish.
00:04:08.638 --> 00:04:10.940
A bad start doesn't mean you can't have a good finish. amen?
00:04:11.007 --> 00:04:11.441
You can't have a good finish. amen? >> audience: amen.
00:04:11.507 --> 00:04:13.076

>> joyce: god is a redeemer. if you're not living a productive life,
00:04:17.880 --> 00:04:20.083
If you're not living a productive life, don't blame it on anything.
00:04:20.149 --> 00:04:21.684
A productive life, don't blame it on anything. take responsibility and say,
00:04:21.751 --> 00:04:23.786
Don't blame it on anything. take responsibility and say, "i'm gonna work with god."
00:04:23.853 --> 00:04:25.688
And change it.
00:04:26.289 --> 00:04:28.891
And change it. i wanna be guided by god
00:04:28.958 --> 00:04:30.426
And change it. i wanna be guided by god because i don't wanna
00:04:30.493 --> 00:04:31.494
I wanna be guided by god because i don't wanna end up with just regrets.
00:04:31.561 --> 00:04:34.864
Because i don't wanna end up with just regrets. you know,
00:04:34.931 --> 00:04:35.531
End up with just regrets. you know, regret is just like it--
00:04:35.598 --> 00:04:37.633
You know, regret is just like it-- it's a draining thing.
00:04:37.700 --> 00:04:40.636
Regret is just like it-- it's a draining thing. regret's something that you're
00:04:40.703 --> 00:04:41.771
It's a draining thing. regret's something that you're gonna have to do anyway that
00:04:41.838 --> 00:04:42.739
Regret's something that you're gonna have to do anyway that there's no point in that.
00:04:42.805 --> 00:04:45.141
Gonna have to do anyway that there's no point in that. "i regret--
00:04:45.208 --> 00:04:45.975
There's no point in that. "i regret-- i dread,
00:04:46.042 --> 00:04:47.343
"i regret-- i dread, dread going
00:04:47.410 --> 00:04:48.010
I dread, dread going to the grocery store."

Ronald reagan once had an aunt who took him to a cobbler for a pair of new shoes.
00:05:09.232 --> 00:05:11.734
Who took him to a cobbler for a pair of new shoes. the cobbler asked young reagan,
00:05:11.801 --> 00:05:13.636
For a pair of new shoes. the cobbler asked young reagan, "do you want square

The cobbler asked young reagan, "do you want square toes or round toes?"
00:05:14.370 --> 00:05:17.140
"do you want square toes or round toes?" unable to decide,
00:05:17.206 --> 00:05:18.274
Toes or round toes?" unable to decide, reagan didn't answer.
00:05:18.341 --> 00:05:19.175

And asked him again, "what kind of toes do you want on your shoes?"

"what kind of toes do you want on your shoes?" reagan still couldn't

Want on your shoes?" reagan still couldn't decide what kind of toes

Let's read ephesians 5:14-17 again.
00:06:12.962 --> 00:06:14.297
Let's read ephesians 5:14-17 again. it's just so good.
00:06:14.363 --> 00:06:16.432
Ephesians 5:14-17 again. it's just so good. "therefore he says,
00:06:16.499 --> 00:06:17.266
It's just so good. "therefore he says, awake, o sleeper,

And arise from the dead, and christ shall shine and (make day dawn) upon you."
00:06:20.903 --> 00:06:24.073
And christ shall shine and (make day dawn) upon you." you know, i always
00:06:24.140 --> 00:06:24.707
And (make day dawn) upon you." you know, i always think of lazarus,
00:06:24.774 --> 00:06:25.708
You know, i always think of lazarus, and i don't know how many
00:06:25.775 --> 00:06:26.576
Think of lazarus, and i don't know how many of you have noticed this,
00:06:26.642 --> 00:06:27.677
And i don't know how many of you have noticed this, but it's--
00:06:27.743 --> 00:06:31.247
Of you have noticed this, but it's-- i've seen it for a long time,
00:06:31.314 --> 00:06:32.849
But it's-- i've seen it for a long time, and i think
00:06:32.915 --> 00:06:33.483
I've seen it for a long time, and i think it's saying something.
00:06:33.549 --> 00:06:34.717
And i think it's saying something. you know, jesus called
00:06:34.784 --> 00:06:35.618
It's saying something. you know, jesus called him out of the grave,
00:06:35.685 --> 00:06:36.519
You know, jesus called him out of the grave, "lazarus, come forth."
00:06:36.586 --> 00:06:39.322
Him out of the grave, "lazarus, come forth." but then he said a second thing.
00:06:39.388 --> 00:06:41.257
"lazarus, come forth." but then he said a second thing. "take off your grave clothes."
00:06:41.324 --> 00:06:45.094
But then he said a second thing. "take off your grave clothes." see, i think there's a lot
00:06:45.161 --> 00:06:46.062
"take off your grave clothes." see, i think there's a lot of christians that have been
00:06:46.128 --> 00:06:49.699
See, i think there's a lot of christians that have been called to come forth,
00:06:49.765 --> 00:06:51.968
Of christians that have been called to come forth, but they still have their
00:06:52.034 --> 00:06:52.702
Called to come forth, but they still have their grave clothes on.
00:06:52.768 --> 00:06:58.307
But they still have their grave clothes on. "look carefully,
00:06:58.374 --> 00:06:58.975
Grave clothes on. "look carefully, then, how you walk.
00:06:59.041 --> 00:06:59.775
"look carefully, then, how you walk. live purposefully
00:06:59.842 --> 00:07:00.610
Then, how you walk. live purposefully and worthily and accurately,
00:07:00.676 --> 00:07:02.879
Live purposefully and worthily and accurately, not as the unwise
00:07:02.945 --> 00:07:03.946
And worthily and accurately, not as the unwise and the witless,
00:07:04.013 --> 00:07:04.680
Not as the unwise and the witless, but as wise (sensible,
00:07:04.747 --> 00:07:06.716
And the witless, but as wise (sensible, intelligent people)."
00:07:06.782 --> 00:07:09.252
But as wise (sensible, intelligent people)." you know, wisdom is a major
00:07:09.318 --> 00:07:10.553
Theme in the bible.
00:07:10.620 --> 00:07:13.222
Theme in the bible. and wisdom is the right
00:07:13.289 --> 00:07:14.457
Theme in the bible. and wisdom is the right use of knowledge,
00:07:14.524 --> 00:07:18.461
And wisdom is the right use of knowledge, but knowledge is something
00:07:18.528 --> 00:07:23.699
Use of knowledge, but knowledge is something that you have to dig to get
00:07:23.766 --> 00:07:28.905
But knowledge is something that you have to dig to get and then apply it in your life.
00:07:28.971 --> 00:07:30.640
That you have to dig to get and then apply it in your life. if you know what
00:07:30.706 --> 00:07:31.507
And then apply it in your life. if you know what to do but you don't do it,
00:07:31.574 --> 00:07:34.343
If you know what to do but you don't do it, what good does it do you?
00:07:34.410 --> 00:07:36.178
To do but you don't do it, what good does it do you? no good at all.
00:07:36.245 --> 00:07:38.514
What good does it do you? no good at all. wisdom, i say, is common sense.
00:07:38.581 --> 00:07:43.286
No good at all. wisdom, i say, is common sense. i mean, i really think that's--
00:07:43.352 --> 00:07:44.520
Wisdom, i say, is common sense. i mean, i really think that's-- there's fancier definitions.
00:07:44.587 --> 00:07:46.289
I mean, i really think that's-- there's fancier definitions. it's the right
00:07:46.355 --> 00:07:46.956
There's fancier definitions. it's the right use of knowledge,
00:07:47.023 --> 00:07:48.324
It's the right use of knowledge, but it's also just common sense.
00:07:48.391 --> 00:07:51.994
Use of knowledge, but it's also just common sense. i mean, common sense tells
00:07:52.061 --> 00:07:52.762
But it's also just common sense. i mean, common sense tells you if you spend more money
00:07:52.828 --> 00:07:53.696
I mean, common sense tells you if you spend more money than you make, you're gonna
00:07:53.763 --> 00:07:54.463
You if you spend more money than you make, you're gonna be in debt and have trouble.
00:07:54.530 --> 00:07:56.632
Than you make, you're gonna be in debt and have trouble. but it's amazing how many
00:07:56.699 --> 00:07:57.700
Be in debt and have trouble. but it's amazing how many people don't use that
00:07:57.767 --> 00:07:58.568
But it's amazing how many people don't use that little bit of common sense.
00:07:58.634 --> 00:08:01.704
People don't use that little bit of common sense. they think because they've
00:08:01.771 --> 00:08:02.805
Little bit of common sense. they think because they've got money in the bank they
00:08:02.872 --> 00:08:03.773
They think because they've got money in the bank they can spend it, but they don't--
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:06.175
Got money in the bank they can spend it, but they don't-- they forget that they've
00:08:06.242 --> 00:08:07.043
Can spend it, but they don't-- they forget that they've got a gas bill coming
00:08:07.109 --> 00:08:08.110
They forget that they've got a gas bill coming in and a phone bill
00:08:08.177 --> 00:08:09.612
Got a gas bill coming in and a phone bill and a water bill.
00:08:09.679 --> 00:08:11.781
In and a phone bill and a water bill. so, then when those bills
00:08:11.847 --> 00:08:12.949
And a water bill. so, then when those bills come in, they can't pay 'em.
00:08:13.015 --> 00:08:14.083
So, then when those bills come in, they can't pay 'em. and then they start getting
00:08:14.150 --> 00:08:16.152
Come in, they can't pay 'em. and then they start getting in trouble with their creditors.
00:08:16.218 --> 00:08:19.655
And then they start getting in trouble with their creditors. if i were you, i would have
00:08:19.722 --> 00:08:20.923
In trouble with their creditors. if i were you, i would have a goal to never use a credit
00:08:20.990 --> 00:08:24.393
If i were you, i would have a goal to never use a credit card unless you could pay
00:08:24.460 --> 00:08:25.261
A goal to never use a credit card unless you could pay it off at the end of the month.
00:08:25.328 --> 00:08:27.763
Card unless you could pay it off at the end of the month. i remember dave and i,
00:08:27.830 --> 00:08:28.798
It off at the end of the month. i remember dave and i, when we were real young,
00:08:28.864 --> 00:08:30.299
I remember dave and i, when we were real young, dave didn't want
00:08:30.366 --> 00:08:30.833
When we were real young, dave didn't want to get a credit card,
00:08:30.900 --> 00:08:31.567
Dave didn't want to get a credit card, but i talked him into it.
00:08:31.634 --> 00:08:32.902
To get a credit card, but i talked him into it. woman power.
00:08:32.969 --> 00:08:33.536
But i talked him into it. woman power. >> [audience laughing]
00:08:33.603 --> 00:08:35.271
Woman power. >> [audience laughing] >> joyce: and sure enough,
00:08:35.338 --> 00:08:39.241
>> [audience laughing] >> joyce: and sure enough, we got a balance on there,
00:08:39.308 --> 00:08:40.343
>> joyce: and sure enough, we got a balance on there, and we were paying
00:08:40.409 --> 00:08:40.977
We got a balance on there, and we were paying interest every month.
00:08:41.043 --> 00:08:41.777
And we were paying interest every month. and so, we decided we were
00:08:41.844 --> 00:08:42.878
Interest every month. and so, we decided we were going to get the thing paid off
00:08:42.945 --> 00:08:44.614
And so, we decided we were going to get the thing paid off and never use it again except
00:08:44.680 --> 00:08:46.148
Going to get the thing paid off and never use it again except for what we could pay off.
00:08:46.215 --> 00:08:48.084
And never use it again except for what we could pay off. well, we had to suffer
00:08:48.150 --> 00:08:49.018
For what we could pay off. well, we had to suffer a little while to do that.
00:08:49.085 --> 00:08:50.920
Well, we had to suffer a little while to do that. see, if you've gotten things
00:08:50.987 --> 00:08:52.154
A little while to do that. see, if you've gotten things off course, you're probably
00:08:52.221 --> 00:08:54.323
See, if you've gotten things off course, you're probably gonna have to suffer
00:08:54.390 --> 00:08:55.124
Off course, you're probably gonna have to suffer a little bit to get it back
00:08:55.191 --> 00:08:57.927
Gonna have to suffer a little bit to get it back where it needs to be.
00:08:57.994 --> 00:08:59.895
A little bit to get it back where it needs to be. i mean, that's like if you've
00:08:59.962 --> 00:09:01.330
Where it needs to be. i mean, that's like if you've overeaten for 10 years
00:09:01.397 --> 00:09:02.198
I mean, that's like if you've overeaten for 10 years and now you have
00:09:02.264 --> 00:09:03.099
Overeaten for 10 years and now you have 25 pounds to lose,

And now you have 25 pounds to lose, you will be a little hungry.

25 pounds to lose, you will be a little hungry. you don't have to wonder
00:09:09.472 --> 00:09:10.539
You will be a little hungry. you don't have to wonder if you will be.

You don't have to wonder if you will be. i can tell you, you will be.

It'd be so easy to just read over that and not
00:10:21.510 --> 00:10:23.345
It'd be so easy to just read over that and not get a thing out of it.
00:10:23.412 --> 00:10:25.114
Read over that and not get a thing out of it. but he tells us to be careful

Get a thing out of it. but he tells us to be careful about our time and our choices.
00:10:26.549 --> 00:10:29.185
But he tells us to be careful about our time and our choices. he tells us to be
00:10:29.251 --> 00:10:29.985
About our time and our choices. he tells us to be an on purpose person.
00:10:30.052 --> 00:10:34.356
He tells us to be an on purpose person. to live a life worth living.
00:10:34.423 --> 00:10:37.760

Of god and firmly grasp it. you know, procrastination is just one of the biggest

Because you deceive yourself into thinking you're obeying god because you intend to do it.
00:11:07.389 --> 00:11:11.293
Into thinking you're obeying god because you intend to do it. but good intentions
00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:12.862
Because you intend to do it. but good intentions are not obedience.
00:11:12.928 --> 00:11:16.398

Are not obedience. god wants us to be now people, unless he's told you to wait.
00:11:18.934 --> 00:11:21.003
Let's think for a minute
00:11:22.004 --> 00:11:22.705
Let's think for a minute about pharaoh and his frogs.
00:11:22.772 --> 00:11:25.975
Let's think for a minute about pharaoh and his frogs. you know, i think the most
00:11:26.041 --> 00:11:28.310
Dangerous word in the english
00:11:28.377 --> 00:11:29.578
Dangerous word in the english language could be: tomorrow.
00:11:29.645 --> 00:11:33.883
Dangerous word in the english language could be: tomorrow. now, one of the curses
00:11:33.949 --> 00:11:36.619
Language could be: tomorrow. now, one of the curses was a plague of frogs,
00:11:36.685 --> 00:11:40.823
Now, one of the curses was a plague of frogs, when he wouldn't listen
00:11:40.890 --> 00:11:41.590
Was a plague of frogs, when he wouldn't listen to moses and let the people go.
00:11:41.657 --> 00:11:44.393
When he wouldn't listen to moses and let the people go. so, i mean, pharaoh's house,
00:11:44.460 --> 00:11:46.962
To moses and let the people go. so, i mean, pharaoh's house, if you can just use your
00:11:47.029 --> 00:11:48.330
So, i mean, pharaoh's house, if you can just use your imagination for a minute.
00:11:48.397 --> 00:11:50.566
If you can just use your imagination for a minute. the garage where he kept
00:11:50.633 --> 00:11:51.534
Imagination for a minute. the garage where he kept his chariot was full of frogs.
00:11:51.600 --> 00:11:55.304
The garage where he kept his chariot was full of frogs. he couldn't pull the chariot
00:11:55.371 --> 00:11:56.472
His chariot was full of frogs. he couldn't pull the chariot in and out without crunch,
00:11:56.539 --> 00:11:57.540
He couldn't pull the chariot in and out without crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch.
00:11:57.606 --> 00:11:59.842
In and out without crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch. the driveway was full of frogs.
00:11:59.909 --> 00:12:03.646
Crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch. the driveway was full of frogs. every room in the house

Was full of frogs. the bed was full of frogs. or if you prefer, you could
00:12:09.618 --> 00:12:10.419
The bed was full of frogs. or if you prefer, you could pretend like they're
00:12:10.486 --> 00:12:11.053
Or if you prefer, you could pretend like they're snakes if you hate
00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:11.954
Pretend like they're snakes if you hate them worse than frogs.
00:12:12.021 --> 00:12:13.856
And so moses said,
00:12:14.623 --> 00:12:19.595
And so moses said, "i'll pray for you,
00:12:19.662 --> 00:12:21.597
And so moses said, "i'll pray for you, and the frogs will go away.
00:12:21.664 --> 00:12:22.698
"i'll pray for you, and the frogs will go away. just tell me when
00:12:22.765 --> 00:12:23.699
And the frogs will go away. just tell me when you want me to pray."
00:12:23.766 --> 00:12:26.268
Just tell me when you want me to pray." and pharaoh said, "tomorrow."

How nutty do you have to be to say,
00:12:33.108 --> 00:12:33.809
How nutty do you have to be to say, "i'd like to spend one
00:12:33.876 --> 00:12:34.643
To be to say, "i'd like to spend one more night with this
00:12:34.710 --> 00:12:35.344

You think about that. why in the world would he say, "tomorrow"?
00:12:40.716 --> 00:12:42.785
Why in the world would he say, "tomorrow"? i guess he thought if he had
00:12:42.852 --> 00:12:43.919
"tomorrow"? i guess he thought if he had just a little bit more time,
00:12:43.986 --> 00:12:45.254
I guess he thought if he had just a little bit more time, then maybe he could find
00:12:45.321 --> 00:12:47.590
Just a little bit more time, then maybe he could find a way to stop moses from
00:12:47.656 --> 00:12:50.492
Then maybe he could find a way to stop moses from doing what he wanted to do.
00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:54.797
A way to stop moses from doing what he wanted to do. tomorrow.
00:12:54.864 --> 00:12:56.665
Doing what he wanted to do. tomorrow. be careful when

Rather than wasting days on fleeing worldly things. it's a prayer
00:13:36.939 --> 00:13:37.640
On fleeing worldly things. it's a prayer for spiritual arithmetic.
