I want to start the morning with just a quick public service announcement.

0:04.3

For those that do not know since last July, the city of Waco has been in a drought.

0:11.8

And in fact, the city has responded accordingly.

0:14.8

We have water restrictions, and you're only allowed to water or sprinkle your yard on certain days of the week. How many of you are familiar with these restrictions and this drought that we're in? For those that live in Waco, okay, okay, that's awesome. And then how many of you, this is news that the preacher gave the news for the city. How many of you, it's new? It's okay. It's okay. You're just the people with dead yards or no yard,

this drought.

And as we continue in our series of soundtracks, we're looking to different Psalms.
