It's Friday, December 13th, 2024, and Fridays are Ask or Tell Me Anything next on the AM Update.

Well, thank you again for joining me for another week on the AM Update.

I appreciate each and every one of you. If you think of it,

wherever you're listening, if you like this podcast or even mildly enjoy or are mildly amused,

which is basically my daughter Abby's attitude towards her pops. Mildly amused. Not impressed,

but mildly amused. If that is your attitude or attitude towards

AM update, why don't you drop me a five-star review at your podcast platform of choice? Coming up tomorrow,

it's going to be another no-suck Saturday. Bella and I will have five stories. We think

objectively don't suck. We're also going to be playing a couple of Christmas games for our main segment.

That's an episode that will be available for the broader public. So not, don't have a few. I forgot to post,

post the post on X soliciting questions until a little bit too late. And then I forgot, I mean,

compounding forgetfulness on my part.

But it's probably better just with my voice being the way that it is.

Probably better to keep this on the short end.

So just a couple of thoughts before we get started here this morning.

Pastor Mike was preaching on the genealogy of Jesus in Matthew.

And of course, it's a universal experience.

I think unless you were just a whiz kid, that growing up and you read those passages, it's like, why is this in the Bible? And thus, begat thus, and thus,

and, eh, blah, I mean, it's just mind-numbingly boring when you're younger. But my pastor, he's, he's

preached on the genealogy of Jesus before, and has really made me appreciate the richness of that genealogy

for a few different reasons.
