Hey, everybody. It's Matt. This is the 10-minute Bible Hour podcast. And when I was a kid, my parents and my grandparents took me to the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library in, hang on a second. I got it here, West Branch, Iowa. I didn't remember that was a town, but apparently I have been there once. And I remember it being a really

nice visit. It was sort of a normal-looking little library. I feel like there might have been a

living history farm or like old-timey town there, maybe. I mean, these memories are from when I'm

nine or ten years old. It's all pretty vague to me. I've only been to one other

presidential libraries since, and that was the Truman Library in somewhere north of Kansas City.

I don't remember exactly what town, independence, maybe, something like that. But in our country,

presidents, when they they retire they make these

these libraries and i don't think they're normal libraries like with hardy boys books and stuff

i think they have memoirs and documents and important fancy things they signed i don't know like

i said i haven't been to a lot of these but i do remember going to the hoover library

and just thinking it was the neatest thing. It was near where

we lived when I was a little kid. We didn't have money, so we didn't go to anything ever,

but I think this must have been free or maybe my grandparents paid for it. And it was fun.

I learned a lot. I didn't know who Herbert Hoover was, but as we went through the thing, I'm pretty

sure that's the day I learned that he was president when the Great Depression started and the horrible stock market crash at the end of the 1920s. That was all the Herbert Hoover era. And as we went through the museum, I distinctly remember that my granddad, who's very mild-mannered, he was a wonderful man.

He was pretty fussy in there because Herbert Hoover, some guy from West Branch, Iowa,

who based on how excited everybody was about Herbert Hoover at his library, apparently had a

very good reputation in West Branch, Iowa, it turns out he didn't have such a great reputation with my granddad who was from Wyoming.

Because you see back in the day, when my granddad was a teenager, he and my great granddad

worked the family ranch that apparently my family had near Scotts Bluff, Nebraska.

And when the stock market crashed and everything imploded economically, I don't

exactly know how we got here, but it's like the government or feed prices or a combination
