Hey guys, welcome from Parramatta, Australia. We're in a suburb of Sydney, and I'm on the 18th floor of my hotel room.

There's all kinds of construction in the background, but I'm here talking to you, and looking forward to jumping into chapter 13 and verse 8.

So grab a Bible, and let's see what God has for us today.

Welcome to Everyday Truth with Kurt Skelie.

We believe the Bible is true and relevant to everyone, everywhere, every day.

If today's conversation is a help to you, take a moment to leave a review or share it with a friend.

Hey, friends, welcome back to today's episode of Everyday Truths.

I am on the 18th floor of our hotel room in a brand new place now, Parameda, which is actually

a suburb of Sydney. It's actually part of Sydney, the city of Sydney,

and it's huge. Just this one little sub-city of Sydney, Parramatta, is in itself a really big place.

Let me see if I can show you real quick. Just for those of you be there watching this on YouTube,

I'll get the camera panned around. So they're building this brand new building next door here.

And then see there's cranes everywhere. And no, I don't want to lose my camera here, but you can just see all the way out into the town of Parramatta.

I'm right overlooking the river down below.

So just a really boom in place here and expensive, I might add, is this area of Sydney,

Australia.

But I am spending some time with you.

Let me get my camera situated here.

There we go. If you're listening via audio, just trust me. It's a boom in place here down under.

It's actually Thursday. I'm speaking to you on Thursday. You're listening to this if you're listening regularly or watching this on Thursday,
