00:19:17.846 --> 00:19:21.316
A lot of people have a big problem with a passive mind. they wait to be moved
00:19:21.383 --> 00:19:22.517
Problem with a passive mind. they wait to be moved from the outside
00:19:22.584 --> 00:19:23.685
They wait to be moved from the outside before they do anything.
00:19:23.752 --> 00:19:26.488
From the outside before they do anything. "i don't feel like it."
00:19:26.555 --> 00:19:29.758
Before they do anything. "i don't feel like it." well, who says you

Think about good things that god has done in your life. being double-minded is not
00:20:03.925 --> 00:20:06.361
God has done in your life. being double-minded is not what we're supposed to be.
00:20:06.428 --> 00:20:07.396
Being double-minded is not what we're supposed to be. we're supposed to be decisive,
00:20:07.462 --> 00:20:10.632
What we're supposed to be. we're supposed to be decisive, amen?
00:20:10.699 --> 00:20:11.833

Amen? and i'll give you a little bit of a unique example,
00:20:12.768 --> 00:20:13.935
And i'll give you a little bit of a unique example, but it always intrigues
00:20:14.002 --> 00:20:18.507
Bit of a unique example, but it always intrigues me when i think about this.
00:20:18.573 --> 00:20:20.809
But it always intrigues me when i think about this. dave and i have had,
00:20:20.876 --> 00:20:23.612
Me when i think about this. dave and i have had, in all the years
00:20:23.679 --> 00:20:24.346
Dave and i have had, in all the years we've been married,
00:20:24.413 --> 00:20:25.013
In all the years we've been married, we've had four
00:20:25.080 --> 00:20:26.181
We've been married, we've had four different homes.
00:20:26.248 --> 00:20:28.417
We've had four different homes. and the first home that
00:20:28.483 --> 00:20:31.620
Different homes. and the first home that we bought and built
00:20:31.687 --> 00:20:33.188

00:20:37.926 --> 00:20:41.963
And we paid $32,000 for our first house. now you can't buy
00:20:42.030 --> 00:20:42.798
For our first house. now you can't buy a car for that.
00:20:42.864 --> 00:20:47.002
Now you can't buy a car for that. and it was the biggest
00:20:47.069 --> 00:20:47.736
A car for that. and it was the biggest house in the subdivision.
00:20:47.803 --> 00:20:48.637
And it was the biggest house in the subdivision. it was 1500 square feet.
00:20:48.704 --> 00:20:51.707
House in the subdivision. it was 1500 square feet. we raised four kids

It was 1500 square feet. we raised four kids in 1500 square feet.
00:20:52.808 --> 00:20:53.942
We raised four kids in 1500 square feet. well, today everybody
00:20:54.009 --> 00:20:54.643
In 1500 square feet. well, today everybody thinks they gotta have
00:20:54.710 --> 00:20:55.310
Well, today everybody thinks they gotta have 5,000 square feet to even
00:20:55.377 --> 00:20:58.347
Thinks they gotta have 5,000 square feet to even consider the place.
00:20:58.413 --> 00:21:02.417
5,000 square feet to even consider the place. and so,
00:21:02.484 --> 00:21:03.051
Consider the place. and so, we lived there 17 years and
00:21:03.118 --> 00:21:05.921
And so, we lived there 17 years and then we moved to another place
00:21:05.987 --> 00:21:07.255
We lived there 17 years and then we moved to another place that we lived in about eight
00:21:07.322 --> 00:21:10.258
Then we moved to another place that we lived in about eight years and then another place
00:21:10.325 --> 00:21:13.595

We lived in about eight years. and of course, all three of those
00:21:15.564 --> 00:21:16.131
And of course, all three of those places i decorated.
00:21:16.198 --> 00:21:19.000
All three of those places i decorated. i picked out sink knobs
00:21:19.067 --> 00:21:22.237
Places i decorated. i picked out sink knobs and doorknobs and drawer knobs.
00:21:22.304 --> 00:21:24.139
I picked out sink knobs and doorknobs and drawer knobs. i mean, i would just drive
00:21:24.206 --> 00:21:28.910
And doorknobs and drawer knobs. i mean, i would just drive myself crazy trying to figure
00:21:28.977 --> 00:21:30.645
I mean, i would just drive myself crazy trying to figure out which sink knob i wanted.
00:21:30.712 --> 00:21:33.815

But let me look at all of them to make sure i've got the one that i--"
00:21:40.155 --> 00:21:41.790
Of them to make sure i've got the one that i--" now come on,

Well, by the time we built our last house, the one that we have lived
00:21:53.301 --> 00:21:54.536
We built our last house, the one that we have lived in 20 years and probably
00:21:54.603 --> 00:21:56.037
The one that we have lived in 20 years and probably will be there for the rest
00:21:56.104 --> 00:21:58.673
In 20 years and probably will be there for the rest of our time, i had learned
