0:00.0	Hey my friends, it's Matt. This is the 10 minute Bible hour podcast. Do you remember
0:10.6	when you first read Shakespeare? It's okay if you've never read Shakespeare by the way, but if you have, do you remember when you first read Shakespeare? It's okay if you've never read Shakespeare, by the way,
0:13.6	but if you have, do you remember when that first came up?
