| 0:00.0 | Welcome to 10 minute Bible Talks, where we connect the Bible to your life and the time it takes to get to work. |
| 0:11.5 | I'm Patrick Miller. And I'm Keith Simon. Right now we're working through the story of David's life found in first and second Samuel. |
| 0:19.0 | When I was a kid I did Boy Scouts. We had to memorize the 12 Boy Scout laws and I could recite these things in less than three seconds during my hey day. |
| 0:28.0 | But here's what they are. A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and |
