I'm sure right now you've noticed a thing where you're just casually having a conversation with somebody.

You're like, oh, the thing that I was thinking about doing is buying some new snowshoes one of these days.

I love snowshoeing, but I lost my pair of snowshoes in a tragic bass fishing accident.

And then like five minutes later, you're pooping and you're looking at your phone

and what's right there is the advertisement on the bottom,

whatever app you have open?

Snowshoes, then maybe a replacement for your bass boat

Like I didn't ever say anything to my phone about snowshoes and it starts for any snowshoes

I didn't know that I want the snow shoes.

And it's because it's listening all the time now.

It's listening to the questions you ask and the things you talk about

and is trying to sell you that stuff.

And if I had told you this five years ago,

you would have been like

tin foil hat weirdo but now we know this is completely true it's actually kind of

fun to test the system and talk about things that are utterly ridiculous and see what

they can find for a link to try to promote that thing to you.

Increasingly we're becoming accustomed to the idea of asking a question and then immediately

getting the answer to the question and likewise when we get into Matthew Chapter 8, there's this cliffhanger of a question, this mid-season finale that happens in the passage we just looked at in Matthew Chapter 8 versus 23 through 27 last two episodes around and the

question that gets asked is who is this guy because Jesus just did really

impressive things in curing a leper in healing a person by distance who is sick with we don't know exactly what healing Peter's mother-in-law in her house and then people are like wow we want more of that and so

He heals a whole bunch of other stuff and he does a whole bunch of other miracles as promised the other day. We're gonna get to that in just a minute here right now
