Hey, everybody. I'm Matt. This is the 10-minute Bible Hour podcast, and I know what a lot of you

are thinking right now. I hang out with Matt quite a bit, and he has a voice like a pre-pubescent

boy, and all I'm hearing here is lumberjack masculinity, and it refused to accept that it's the

same person. It requires a lot of disease, but this is how I sound when I'm in this stage

of six. So here we are. Hey, big thanks to Jeff foot for jumping in and covering the podcast

yesterday on zero notice. That guy is good at things, but it's been a good week other than

this stupid congestion thing that I'm dealing with because it's anniversary week, and I really like my

wife, and it's been many years of happy marriage for us. So we decided to go out on a date, and we went

up into the black hills, which is where we live, Mount Rushmore territory. It's beautiful this time of

year, but it's very, very crowded this year. So I'm finding myself anytime we want to go eat

somewhere. You got a hustle. And even as I pull into the parking lot a lot of times, I'll have a

member of the family bail out and go get our name on the list because just the amount of time it takes

to park can be enough for five or six groups to get in ahead of you. And then you got to think about

that the whole time you watch them getting seated and you're sitting out there for an extra

half an hour waiting to get into grab a bite to eat. Well, last night we went to Hill City. There's this

cool German restaurant called the alpine and they only serve two things on the menu. They got a

filet and they got some European German ethnic thing that I can't pronounce. So everybody knows

what they're getting. It's beautiful. It's very popular and it is teaming with people as we pull

up. So I parked the car really quickly. We hop out and I'm hurrying right along because I can see

that again, five, six, seven groups all making their way toward that door. Well, because of my

attentiveness, I get ahead of all of them. And the closest group is about 20 feet behind us.

It's a couple of ladies, but I was feeling really good that I'm going to be the first one to the check-in line.
