| 0:00.0 | Hello, my friends. Welcome back to the morning mindset. I am so grateful that you're with me today |
| 0:08.8 | and that you're ready to get your mind aligned with the truth of God. I want you to think about |
| 0:13.8 | those movies or those cartoons where you see someone caught in a whirlpool and they're just spinning |
| 0:19.9 | around and around and they're going deeper and deeper into the vortex of that whirlpool. |
| 0:25.2 | That downward spiral is an image I want you to have in your mind today as we talk about the |
