Hey everybody I'm Matt. This is the 10 minute Bible hour podcast. I got to take a week off last week which was really nice because there's a lot going on in the world.

And it gave me an opportunity to kind of think through

how I want to respond with my family.

And hey, elephant in the room, pretty obviously,

there's this coronavirus COVID-19 thing going on and it's hitting a lot closer to home right now

than it was a couple of weeks ago when we talked about this and even than it was a few days ago

when I published a video on that.

I know we're all feeling the weight of it.

I know there's a ton of questions.

I know we all feel a little bit out of control.

At the same time, I'm really grateful that there is some recourse and that is to

slow the thing down, flatten out the curve, do the social distancing thing that

smart people recommend, give each other a little more space, move about a little bit

less than normal, maybe a lot more space and move around a lot less than normal.

And the result of that is that we have the ability to actually do something about the

situation which I find energizing but we also have the ability because of that

recourse we've been given to sit tight and think on things and reflect on things

maybe more than we usually would and so it seems like right now we kind of have

the data in front of us and we know what to do and what we could do at this time is

Process some more just like we were doing before about the book of Matthew

If this book turns out to be something that was from God and that's true and reliable,

and this might actually be one of the best ways we could possibly spend our time.
