- One of the reasons that we were so far behind getting in
- 00:04:36.396 --> 00:04:37.930
- So far behind getting in on this building was because the
- 00:04:37.997 --> 00:04:39.966
- On this building was because the environmental protection agency
- 00:04:40.033 --> 00:04:42.368
- Environmental protection agency told us that there was
- 00:04:42.435 --> 00:04:44.170
- Told us that there was a possibility that a carolina
- 00:04:44.237 --> 00:04:47.006
- A possibility that a carolina heel splitter clam was
- 00:04:47.073 --> 00:04:49.742
- Heel splitter clam was on the property.
- 00:04:49.809 --> 00:04:51.611
- On the property. and they said that this clam,
- 00:04:51.678 --> 00:04:53.546
- And they said that this clam, or mussel i think it was,
- 00:04:53.613 --> 00:04:55.415
- Or mussel i think it was, but i'm gonna call it a clam
- 00:04:55.481 --> 00:04:56.382
- But i'm gonna call it a clam because it sounds better
- 00:04:56.449 --> 00:04:58.051
- Because it sounds better what i'm trying to say.
- 00:04:58.117 --> 00:04:59.952
- What i'm trying to say. this one little clam kept us
- 00:05:00.019 --> 00:05:02.588
- This one little clam kept us from building this whole
- 00:05:02.655 --> 00:05:03.423
- From building this whole big church.
- 00:05:03.489 --> 00:05:05.758
- Big church. for six months we could
- 00:05:05.825 --> 00:05:07.860
- For six months we could not clear the land because
- 00:05:07.927 --> 00:05:10.463
- Not clear the land because of a clam.
- 00:05:10.530 --> 00:05:13.966
- Of a clam. you realize how many times
- 00:05:14.033 --> 00:05:15.501
- You realize how many times a little thing in your life
- 00:05:15.568 --> 00:05:16.636
- A little thing in your life keeps you from building?
- 00:05:16.703 --> 00:05:19.972
- Keeps you from building? a little thing?
- 00:05:20.039 --> 00:05:22.675
- A little thing? one person you don't
- 00:05:22.742 --> 00:05:23.776
- One person you don't wanna make mad.
- 00:05:23.843 --> 00:05:25.578
- Wanna make mad. one thing you don't wanna
- 00:05:25.645 --> 00:05:26.679
- One thing you don't wanna be judged about.
- 00:05:26.746 --> 00:05:27.914
- Be judged about. one uncomfortable moment you
- 00:05:27.980 --> 00:05:29.816
- One uncomfortable moment you don't wanna push through.
- 00:05:29.882 --> 00:05:30.950
- Don't wanna push through. one phone call you
- 00:05:31.017 --> 00:05:32.218
- One phone call you don't wanna make.
- 00:05:32.285 --> 00:05:32.919
- Don't wanna make. so you're just gonna
- 00:05:32.985 --> 00:05:33.720
- So you're just gonna let dread eat you up
- 00:05:33.786 --> 00:05:34.921
- Let dread eat you up like cancer for six months
- 00:05:34.987 --> 00:05:37.590
- Like cancer for six months because of a clam?
- 00:05:37.657 --> 00:05:39.659
- Because of a clam? the devil doesn't even
- 00:05:39.726 --> 00:05:40.393
- The devil doesn't even really have to put a clam
- 00:05:40.460 --> 00:05:41.561
- Really have to put a clam on your land.
- 00:05:41.627 --> 00:05:42.462
- On your land. he can just tell you there
- 00:05:42.528 --> 00:05:43.463
- He can just tell you there may be a clam,
- 00:05:43.529 --> 00:05:44.497
- May be a clam, they may laugh at you,
- 00:05:44.564 --> 00:05:45.598
- They may laugh at you, it may not work,
- 00:05:45.665 --> 00:05:46.766
- It may not work, you may look stupid,
- 00:05:46.833 --> 00:05:47.934
- You may look stupid, this may backfire,
- 00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:49.502
- This may backfire, your kid may end up,
- 00:05:49.569 --> 00:05:50.536
- Your kid may end up, your mom may --
- 00:05:50.603 --> 00:05:51.371
- Your mom may -- it's not even there,
- 00:05:51.437 --> 00:05:52.805
- It's not even there, but you're not building.
- 00:05:52.872 --> 00:05:55.641
- But you're not building. and so we get to the heart
- 00:05:55.708 --> 00:05:56.576
- And so we get to the heart of the issue at this moment
- 00:05:56.642 --> 00:05:58.044
- Of the issue at this moment in the text where the tribes
- 00:05:58.111 --> 00:06:00.246
- In the text where the tribes of ephraim and manasseh,
- 00:06:00.313 --> 00:06:03.349
- Of ephraim and manasseh, ephraim and manasseh.
- 00:06:03.416 --> 00:06:05.885
- Ephraim and manasseh. let's look at the moment
- 00:06:05.952 --> 00:06:07.053
- Let's look at the moment that these boys were born.
- 00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:08.221
- That these boys were born. now remember, just to be clear,
- 00:06:08.287 --> 00:06:11.824
- Now remember, just to be clear, it's been generations since
- 00:06:11.891 --> 00:06:15.161
- It's been generations since ephraim and manasseh
- 00:06:15.228 --> 00:06:16.129
- Ephraim and manasseh were born to joseph.
- 00:06:16.195 --> 00:06:18.097
- Were born to joseph. so these people
- 00:06:18.164 --> 00:06:18.965
- So these people didn't know joseph,
- 00:06:19.031 --> 00:06:20.133
- Didn't know joseph, they were joseph's
- 00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:21.134
- They were joseph's great, great, great, great,
- 00:06:21.200 --> 00:06:22.535

- Great great, great, great, grandchildren,
- 00:06:23.569 --> 00:06:24.570
- Great, grandchildren, and ephraim and manasseh
- 00:06:24.637 --> 00:06:25.571
- And ephraim and manasseh were his children.
- 00:06:25.638 --> 00:06:26.339
- Were his children. now look in genesis 41:50.
- 00:06:26.406 --> 00:06:30.643
- It's going back in time to when
- 00:06:30.743 --> 00:06:32.779
- It's going back in time to when joseph was in egypt and he was
- 00:06:32.845 --> 00:06:35.014
- Joseph was in egypt and he was starting to serve
- 00:06:35.081 --> 00:06:36.115

- It as if he did. they remembered somehow some
- 00:09:37.597 --> 00:09:38.998
- They remembered somehow some fragmented misinformation
- 00:09:39.065 --> 00:09:41.067

- As the death of a leader. for instance,
- 00:10:00.786 --> 00:10:02.555
- For instance, how many of you remember
- 00:10:02.622 --> 00:10:03.356
- How many of you remember the line from the movie
- 00:10:03.422 --> 00:10:04.957

- "luke, i am your father." but if you check the dvd,
- 00:10:18.938 --> 00:10:20.940
- But if you check the dvd, old school,
- 00:10:21.007 --> 00:10:21.741
- Old school, if you check the movie
- 00:10:21.807 --> 00:10:24.010
- If you check the movie he doesn't say,
- 00:10:24.076 --> 00:10:24.644

- Is when you've been through hell,
- 00:11:19.832 --> 00:11:21.167
- Through hell, and you've gone through
- 00:11:21.233 --> 00:11:22.101

- 00:11:27.573 --> 00:11:29.341
- In a crowded space, and you feel like not enough,
- 00:11:29.408 --> 00:11:31.644

- 00:11:36.816 --> 00:11:39.251
- I'm gonna remember it different, and rather than focusing
- 00:11:39.318 --> 00:11:41.253
- And rather than focusing on how they forgot me
- 00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:43.055
- On how they forgot me i'm gonna focus on how
- 00:11:43.122 --> 00:11:45.357

- Didn't come to pass. because you'll say,
- 00:12:53.259 --> 00:12:53.826
- Because you'll say, "if i wasn't here,
- 00:12:53.893 --> 00:12:54.860
