What's up my friends it's Matt this is the 10 minute Bible hour podcast and I think I

have told you this about me before but when I was a kid and I would go to camp I absolutely

hated being late I felt like if I was even 20 minutes late for camp and most of my

cabin was already there they would already have gelled and made their connections and

they would all get to know each other and I'd be the weird outsider with the poorly positioned

bunk for the whole week because I wasn't there in the early game to stake out my space

socially and in the whole pecking order the whole thing and indeed I found the the weeks

that we were on time or even early went way better than the weeks where I was the last

guy there it's like that badge sticks on you a little bit and fairness is probably mostly

self-inflicted is my own paranoia and social frailty as a kid not anymore I got only worry

about social things at all I'm fine I'm an adult I'm a man I have a beard I don't care

anybody thinks I don't need people's approval I don't care if you listen or not dad

but in this passage in Matthew 20 I could totally see how we got a weird social dynamic

shaping up here because you got like you know day working the vineyard camp going on and

this landowner goes out and gets the pick of the litter early in the game like 6 a.m.

He hires a bunch of people and he's like come on out of working camp and strikes a deal

with them he's going to pay him a day's wage that's a good deal and he's like well let's

go get some more people because we got some things we need to get done today we need a hustle

so we go back out there like nine noon and three and he just keeps hiring people apparently

under the same deal which is I'm just going to pay you whatever's right people like you

seem credible that's good enough but then the 11th hour I mean the 11th hour it's like

literally figuratively a metaphor for the last minute to go out and do something he goes
