What's up everybody? Hope you're doing good. God wants to fill you with his word. That is the

plan that he has for your life. That his word would be inside you just as much as your Sunday

school teacher was preaching. Memorize his first, get it in there. There's a difference between

being memorable of God's word and then being filled with God's word. Like, for example, this is a

third or fourth time we've done this episode. The first couple of times wasn't good because I know

what I'm about to teach you in these verses. But knowing them in your heart is different from knowing

Mary didn't look like that. Joseph didn't look like that. Jesus didn't look like that. And so

word, you think you already are because your imagination has been filled with pictures that are not

necessarily biblical. They're extra biblical, which means they're outside of the Bible. We want to

be filled with the word of God and his truth and his love so that it permeates our life and makes

our life an adventure and a miracle. Mary's life was an adventure and a miracle. There was

not a dull day when Mary was pregnant. Every day was filled with some type of drama, some type of

excitement. And we see that in her life. But even we have to assume as Jesus gets older and older

and older, what was it like to give the Son of God a bath? What was it like to feed the Son of God

lunch? What was it like to watch the Son of God go to rabbi school? What was it like to see the
