0:00.0	Hey, my friends. It's Matt. This is the 10 minute Bible hour podcast. The other day I was
0:09.6	poking around on Twitter and I wasn't poking around. I very intentionally did this on Twitter.
0:15.1	I asked the following question just randomly into the Twitter void. That question is as
0:21.2	follows. What do you want? That was it. No explanation or anything further. I just put
0:28.9	the question out there to see what people would do with it because I think it's a very hard
0:33.0	question. Then not surprisingly, of the many, many, many responses I got back, a bunch of

1:34.7	acceptance. Other people said very simple things external to themselves. Peace for others. I want
1:42.8	people to get along better. And those are great answers. And then a few other people gave
1:48.0	very simple answers that were internal to themselves. People said things like companionship
1:54.6	or more time or wisdom or for things to feel normal. Somebody else said I just want to go home.
2:02.4	Somebody else said they want fair treatment and respect. Somebody said I want to feel joy again.
