So, I don't even know how we're going to do all this today.

I don't even know how we're going to do all this today.

Can we do it in one day? This might be two days. It might be one day. I don't know I got a couple things I need to tell you about on the front end here. Number one, my voice. I did the Skittles game today with a bunch of high school kids. It's a game that I made up several years ago that you play

with Skittles and the Skittles represent resources and you give them to the kids and you

don't tell them what anything means and then you start being like all right now

this happened and you got 30 seconds to figure out

how to get the right number of resources to survive this upcoming event and you

create all this tension and eventually what happens is feudalism they form up into

ranks with different people having to pledge the resources they earn on successive

turns to more powerful people and you just develop monarchy.

It's very fun. It went really well, but it's loud and I was trying to yell a lot so they could hear me.

Now my voice sounds all crispity, crunchy, and well, it is what it is.

So that's thing number one we've got to talk about.'s thing number one we got to talk about.

I had designs on getting us into this really dramatic cinematic even scene that

starts in verse 11 of Nehemiah chapter 2 and it was going to be good.

I'm in a cinematic mood.

I saw a great movie this weekend and now I'm thinking in those categories but it's

going to have to wait because we're just not

there yet because I got into a whole quagmire there's a quagmire going on then I'm

all I'm mucked up in it and I'm going to introduce you to the quagmire.

It's going to happen here in Nehemiah, chapter 2, verse 10.

We'll see if we can get through the whole thing today.
