| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the morning mindset. It is time for us to get our minds aligned with the truth of God. |
| 0:09.0 | This is still the beginning of 2019 if you're listening to this in sequence if you're |
| 0:15.4 | not welcome anyway I'm glad that you're taking the time to set your mind on the |
| 0:20.3 | things of God we've been talking about this issue of feelings and how they affect our view of reality. |
| 0:29.5 | Feelings are a dominant thing, aren't they? They could have a very powerful impact on the way |
