Hello my friends I'm Matt this is the 10 minute Bible hour podcast as I am

recording this we're coming up on Christmas Day so if you're listening to this in the original run, hey,

Merry Christmas. I hope things are beautiful where you are. I hope that you feel a sense of

peace that goes beyond this little moment in history and gets into

the transcendent and stuff that is bigger than you and stuff that is worth putting hope in.

I hope you're encouraged by the things that this season means.

And if you are listening to this not in its original release, and after the fact, I hope the last Christmas you had was good.

that I take to my computer

and, I don't know, was it a month ago or something, we recorded a really cool

podcast for my other podcast, No Dumb Questions that I do with my buddy Destin from Smarter Every Day.

And I don't know what I did with the SD card.

It went away and I have this whole mountain of SD cards.

It's an unorganized mess over there by my computer and I'm digging through it and we had a third party call in a really smart guy and so there's no way to go and redo the thing. It doesn't fit anybody's schedule. We have to publish this.

I don't know what I did with the file.

And when I finally found it, it was such a relief after going through all of that content

to find this little, I mean I'm looking at it here, maybe a half inch by a third or a quarter of an inch wide,

paper thin piece of plastic. It weighs nothing, it's tiny tiny but there is so much potential contained
