If you play piano, even if you play guitar, same thing.

Sometimes your left hand doesn't know what your right hand's doing.

Because you're thinking about your right hand.

Maybe you want to play the melody and then the chords or the left hand or however you're doing.

But it's like once you've done it so many times, now your left hand is just automatic.

Now I'm thinking about my right hand. Or I got my right hand. I need the left hand for the chord shapes or whatnot. I think that's what Jesus is talking about, not about musical instruments, but he talked about not letting your left hand know what your right hand is doing. I think it's about our character changing such that we don't even have to think about it. Become second nature. Like, I'm going to be generous. Just who I am. I don't have to brag about it or think about it too long. It's like, that's just who I am. That's what I do and don't think about it. I'm enjoying listening to Christmas music this year a lot. You are? Yeah. More so than in the past? Yeah. Okay. I'm really digging it for some reason. Okay. I'm really liking the jazz. I'm kind of going towards the Christmas jazz. Which I heard Charles Schultz hated. Did he? Jazz. Really? And then he heard it in the context of his cartoon. Yeah. The first Christmas one, which is the first Charlie Brown cartoon. And he's like, okay.

Yeah.

That works. And then he heard it in the context of his cartoon. Yeah. The first Christmas one, which is the first Charlie Brown cartoon.

And he's like, okay.

Yeah.

That works.

Because that defined everything.

It totally fit.

Yeah. And he was like, no. I couldn't imagine that. It would be so bad. That's a great thing about that show is it just breathes.

Yes.

They're just walking through the night to get the tree and stuff.

And I guess after the show was over, the sale of aluminum trees was really hot and then it tanked.

Okay.

After that show, people were like, it got like half the Americans watching the show when it was live. Oh, that's so amazing. It was like a Super Bowl, and then no one was like everybody just wanted a small green tree that tilted over to the side. Oh, look out. Here comes. I'm going to shock you. Okay, so I'm playing my shock jock music. I'm one of those shock jock.

Check this out. Youngstown, Ohio is further east than any part of Georgia. Okay. That's pretty crazy.
