Hey, hey, hey, hey, what is up? Hope your day is going great. My name is Mike Bro, and we're just hanging

together every day for a few minutes. Just trying to navigate this life that God has given us.

And we're just learning how to walk with him, and we're trying to be a light in this world.

And what we've been doing over the past few days, we've been unpacking a little passage of the Bible found in Romans chapter 12.

It's a letter encouraging us all to live a distinctive kind of life, the kind of life

that's attractive and causes people to take notice, not just of us, but of the goodness of God

in our life. And we started about talking about how sometimes you'll hear like a sports

announcer going on and on about a certain athlete's attributes, and then they'll close with it.

I don't know, man,

they're just built different. Well, Romans 12 gives us a description of what it really means

to be built different. And so we're just going verse by verse a little at a time. And I've

been sharing some stuff that I've been writing in the margin of my old Bible. In fact,

my old Bible's got duct tape holding it together. Any good Southern guy knows that duct tape can fix anything,

right? But I have written a ton of little notes right next to all these verses, and I'd invite

you to do the same, not in my Bible, but in your Bible. And I got to admit, I tear up a little whenever I see a few names that I've written

next to today's verse, verse number 12.

It says this, be joyful in hope, patient and affliction, faithful in prayer.
