Good morning. Welcome to the morning motivation brought you by the Patriot Gold Group and the Public Square app.

One thing that has really struck me in the Bible recently and this time in my life for some reason is time.

And I just read a great article from Jacob Crouch, who put it into words better than I could.

It really put me in

the direction I needed to make sense of what I was sensing. He calls it our microwave culture.

And the essence is I'm, I'm so, we all, I think we all, let me speak for me. I am so

impatient. I think things should take a day. Why does this thing take longer

than one day? Like, let's go, people. What are you doing? Hurry up. But nothing takes a day. Everything

takes longer than that day. Things take time. Was it here where we talked about this cathedral

and I think it was Barcelona? And it took 600 years to build. Talk about patience. Can you believe that? Like we build a building today and we're like, oh, it'll be four years before. So it's like, oh, geez, four year, hurry up. Meanwhile, they're like, well, let's build this cathedral. How long is it going to take 600 years? And let's say, like, we're going to build this mosaic floor.

How long is that going to take? Three lifetimes, maybe four. So not only, I'm like, I'm not even

going to be close to done, but maybe my grandkids will finish probably their kids, and let's just have a contingency in case it's their grandkids. My grandkids' grandkids will finish this thing that I'm working on. Like, that's incredible. They were patient, and our ancestors also, they never quit. There's a cathedral outside of Paris in a town called Schart, C-H-A-R-T-E-S,

Schart. Five cathedrals that we know of have stood on one site. Each one replaced a

earlier cathedral that was damaged by war or fire. And the one that's there currently was completed in 1252.

Our ancestors were relentless.

They were patient and relentless.

Today we are impatient and give up in about two seconds.
