| 0:00.0 | Good morning everyone and welcome back to another mornings with the masters. |
| 0:14.5 | We're devote ourselves to the Lord daily with you. |
| 0:17.2 | We are picking up with day two of our redeeming your time devotion on the Bible app. |
| 0:21.9 | There's a link to that in the description if you want to follow long. |
