Welcome to the show, friends.

0:30.5

Greg Kokel here, and I was with my daughter not too long ago visiting a school that she's thinking about going to.

0:40.6

This is a Christian university and kind of figuring all that stuff out for her.

0:47.7

But, of course, when we were there in the emissions, I had a number of questions to ask, and I want to talk to you a little

0:56.3

bit about that conversation, not to disparage the school. I'm not even going to give you the

1:02.2

2:31.3

And we just get used to things.

We just get used to these things, so it doesn't seem weird these things.

But as a result then, because of our familiarity with it, these things that are bad don't seem so bad. Now, Francis Schaefer used to say,
