| 0:00.0 | Hey, good morning Harris Creek family. Good to be with you all. We got any Baylor parents graduating? |
| 0:06.1 | There you are. Okay, let's go. Man, every school's letting out, TSTC, MCC, all of you guys. Congratulations. High school's coming up. It's a good, good season. The sun's out today. I walked the stage half drunk when I graduated from Baylor. Like, I was an |
| 0:22.4 | idiot. And so plan now, honor the Lord, give him glory, and don't walk with regrets as I did. |
| 0:29.2 | He's worth it. He's worth it. So recently, one of our kids comes and they're like, hey, dad, |
| 0:36.0 | it's bedtime. They're like, my toilet stopped up. And so doing the dad thing, it's one of my job, plunging the toilet, get it cleared. All the kids have gone to bed. I get upstairs, two-story house, and I hear water running. And honestly, I'm like, oh, my goodness, like whatever I did downstairs plunging, it like broke some, you know, I'm not super plumber, I don't know what's going on, but I'm like, I can hear running water, all the lights are off, doors are shut, everyone's asleep, I'm like, got to be kidding me. So I turn on my flashlight, I'm like, looking like, where is this water coming from? And I'm like, wait, that's coming from a bedroom. I opened the |
| 1:12.5 | bedroom door and there is our six-year-old just peeing on the floor. I mean, he's been potty trained |
| 1:21.9 | for like three years. I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, hold up, buddy, what are you doing? What's going on? He's out of it. He doesn't stop. He doesn't know that I'm are you doing what's going on he's out of it he doesn't stop he |
| 1:30.3 | doesn't know that i'm even there he's just like full on full send going for it i get him back into bed |
| 1:36.7 | and i'm like what is happening this never happened in our family he was I've never, I've never known him to sleepwalk, |
| 1:46.9 | ever. And when you sleepwalk, you do things you normally wouldn't do. Like things you would, |
| 1:52.7 | he's never done that in his life. Things that are completely abnormal when you're awake, |
| 1:57.8 | you do when you sleepwalk. I start there. I think that all of us in some |
| 2:04.2 | regard or another, spiritually speaking, are prone to sleepwalking. I think there's areas of in our life |
| 2:11.9 | where we are prone to sleepwalking spiritually, things that we would never do if we were in the light, but in |
| 2:18.7 | these moments of our life, we just like fall into spiritual slumber and we start to do things |
| 2:24.4 | that if all the light was on and we were present with others, that never happened. |
| 2:29.3 | But the spiritual sleepwalking, in case you're arguing in your mind, like, no, I'm not, |
| 2:33.4 | I don't like spiritually sleeplock, like fully alive and awake to the Lord. |
| 2:38.5 | You think about some areas that there might be drift where you start to become numb to the |
| 2:42.4 | things of the Lord, like focusing more on your kids' activity than their spirituality, maybe |
| 2:48.0 | working super diligently at work and then being lazy in marriage and family. |
| 2:54.7 | Maybe it's that kind of your go-to superpower is control or anger when things aren't going the right way |
