Hey, it's me Matt Whitman again. This is the 10 minute Bible hour podcast and for the second straight day I interrupted a conversation we were having because I thought it was just going a little too long, but I still got more than I want to cover from what we were talking about last time around so we're just going to pick it up right where we left off after Jeff plays some music
