What's up? Good to be with you today. If you got your Bibles, we got to go to work today.

Okay, so this is a note taken day. I hope you brought a pen. If not, you're going to want to take pictures of things.

Get your Bibles out. We're going to go to two Galatians chapter 2. We're going to pick it up in verse 11. With your journal, your keyword is the same as it was last week. It's going to be for the next several weeks. It is freedom.

So go ahead and write that down.

Hopefully you had a good week.

Let me tell you how my week began.

I got to learn all about root canals. freedom. So go ahead and write that down. Hopefully you had a good week. Let me tell you how my week

began. I got to learn all about root canals. That's fun and games right there. I'd never had that

experience before. It began actually on Easter weekend. I was here for one of our, you know, millions of

services. I was in between services and I was chewing gum. And the reason I was chewing gum is because I am

fueled by the

Holy Spirit's power but he works in tandem with copious amounts of coffee and so I was trying to

I was trying to deal with my coffee breath between services by chewing gum and then all of the

sudden just this shooting like debilitating pain through the left side of my my mouth I'd never

experienced anything quite like that and it just kind of kept lingering and it was one of of those things where, like, I couldn't quite focus. I got super worried that I wouldn't have to be able to preach the next service very well, at least, but finally it subsided after about 10 or 15 minutes. And so I went home and told my wife about it at the end of the weekend, and then she did something for me because she knew I would never do this for myself. She made a dentist's appointment for me because I'm on like a by decade. I'll go about twice a decade. That's literally what I'll what I'll do. So she made the appointment and made me go. And so I went to the dentist and they, you know, hit it with mallets and did all kinds of weird stuff and then took some x-rays. And then they're like, you got to go to the endodontist. I'd never heard of something like that. I thought that was like a dinosaur or something. So they sent me the endodontist. And so I did what I do. I had never heard of it before. So I did a word study on this. Endo is from the Greek. It means inside. so in case you didn't know if they ever send you

to the endodontist they're going to work on the inside of your teeth now the way they get to the

inside of your teeth is with all kinds of drills and bits and mallets and chisels and all kinds

of things like that which means that they have to numb you up which is awesome for me because

i've been blessed

with this gene that processes numbing medication way faster than normal people, which means

that about 25% of the way through whatever procedure I'm having, I feel everything.
