Today is the 22nd day of November.

Welcome.

Welcome back, welcome, welcome, welcome to the global campfire,

welcome to the end of a week.

And so here we are.

We started this week and we reflected, we considered, like we always do,

and we're shining and sparkly, and it's spent we've lived it so we have

this opportunity to reflect look back over it and the peaks and valleys the successes and the

challenges because that that rhythm makes us self-aware It makes us be paying attention to what we're

doing. And we just concluded the book of James yesterday, which really deeply encourages us to pay

attention to what we're doing. Because we can act like anything and be faking. We can be a hypocrite.

But what we actually do, that is what we actually believe.

And so let's reflect back over this week.

As we move forward, another step in the book of Ezekiel.

We're kind of rounding the bend.

And we'll be concluding the book of Ezekiel. We're kind of rounding the bend. And we'll be concluding the book of

Ezekiel in the next day or two. We concluded James yesterday, so we'll be coming into another

letter called First Peter today. We'll talk about that when we get there. But first, Ezekiel chapter 44, verse 1 through 45, verse 12.

Then the man brought me back to the east gateway in the outer wall of the temple area, but it was closed.

And the Lord said to me, this gate must remain closed.

It will never again be opened. No one will ever open it and pass through, for the Lord the God of Israel has entered

here. Therefore, it must always remain shut. Only the prince himself may sit inside this gateway
