Welcome to Pines with Aquinas episode 41.5. I'm Matt Frad.

Today I'd like to share with you a bit of a meditation on the first two chapters of song of songs.

Not something we usually do on this podcast, but I feel led to do it.

You'll enjoy the show, I'm sure.

Thank you for being with us.

As I say, 41.5.

Yeah, 41.5.

Sometimes I'll do these 0.5 episodes when I want to say something or share something that's not in the regular weekly routine.

And I just feel led by our Lord to share with you a few things about my relationship with our Lord through the book of Song of Songs.

And maybe you're not interested in that because this is primarily an apologetics podcast, I suppose, or a philosophical one.

And we don't often share a lot, do we?

From the heart and experientially and that sort of thing.

So if it doesn't interest you, then that's okay. You can stop listening to it.

But I do feel led to sort of share a little bit about my relationship with Christ because I have a share quite a bit on this podcast.

I hope this will be a blessing.

I found out the other day that Pines with the Quinas has been downloaded.

We've been going since what may of last year, I think.

So it hasn't even been a year, but well over quarter of a million downloads.

And I looked into how many countries had been downloading the podcast.

I knew the States, I knew Canada, I figured Australia, England, maybe.

But I didn't know how many countries had downloaded the podcast.

Guess how many?
