0:00.0	Welcome to 10-minute Bible Talks, where we connect the Bible to your life.
0:08.9	In the time it takes to get to work.

0:12.3	Mind the Gap.
0:14.4	If you've traveled through the London Underground, you're familiar with that phrase.
0:19.2	You've probably read those words painted on the ground
