Hey guys, welcome to Before the Noise, the place where we slow down before the chaos kicks in every weekday.

Join us for more at BeforeThe Noise.com. Let's go.

Hey, good morning, everybody. It is Thursday. It is February.

And it is, what, the 12th of the month?

Ah, time, time, make it slow down a little bit. Well, that's up to you. That's up to me. We've got to be able to make it slow down a little bit. And that's why we do what we do every morning before the noise. My name is Chad Prather. If you're just joining us, thank you for being a part of what we do here. Let me reset my chat here so I can see what you guys are all about.

I see those dancing bananas in the Rumble chat over on the live chat.

If you're watching on YouTube, watching on Facebook, watching on X, God bless you guys.

I'm glad you're here.

Think about joining us over at Rumble.com.

doing this morning? Fantastic, right? You're doing great. No matter what's going on in your life,

you're doing fantastic. Let's, you know, I've always said that you guys have heard me a million

times say if your happenings happen to happen happily, you'll be happy. And if your

happenings happen to happen unhappily, you'll'll be unhappy let's not focus on the happenings okay

let's just be happy and beyond that let's just have a deep-seated joy something that is inside of us that

gives us hope gives us a promise of just some great great things that God has done for us.

And let's just enjoy that today. All right. We're in Matthew chapter 6 working our way through the sermon on the mount. And I'll be honest with you. This is kind of difficult. What we're doing here in the sermon on the mount is difficult for me because it's so unstructured. We're just wallowing in the word. There's no outline. so I haven't been putting it on the blog post over on beforethe noise.com, but I do encourage you to go over there and check it out

and click the link where you can go to above the noise and join the classes there. Pray for me.

We've had a lot of technical glitches over the last week trying to get stuff uploaded to above
