00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:22.260
 Hi, and welcome to the Willow Ridge Church weekly podcast.

00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:25.880
 This is where you can find audio for our current and past sermons.

00:00:26.080 --> 00:00:30.420
 We hope that you enjoy this week's installment, and be sure to check back next week to hear

00:00:30.420 --> 00:00:31.260
 the latest message.

00:00:31.680 --> 00:00:32.460
 Thanks for listening.

00:00:45.340 --> 00:00:46.460
 Well, good morning.

00:00:47.460 --> 00:00:50.240
 Glad that you guys are here with us today.

00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:55.880
 If you've got your Bibles, go ahead and open them to Ruth chapter 4 is where we will be.

00:00:56.080 --> 00:00:58.960
 As we wrap up this series, a couple things.

00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:03.420
 Berger kind of alluded to some of this as he was leading with us this morning.

00:01:03.820 --> 00:01:09.720
 Have you ever walked into work or into your home, and everything that should be happening

00:01:09.720 --> 00:01:10.900
 normally is not?

00:01:11.300 --> 00:01:11.500
 All right?

00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:13.380
 That was us today, okay?

00:01:13.900 --> 00:01:19.760
 Everything with every piece of technology, every piece of media, everything going on with the

00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:22.280
 internet was not working correctly.

00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:26.540
 And so as you maybe were going through check-in or had some different things this morning,

00:01:26.700 --> 00:01:31.360
 if you're feeling some things that were off, first, let me just say we apologize, and we've

00:01:31.360 --> 00:01:35.220
 had people working hard this morning to get everything the way that it needs to be.

00:01:35.580 --> 00:01:40.880
 But more importantly, because I know you guys extend us grace in that, but it reminded me

00:01:40.880 --> 00:01:46.020
 this morning of just the wonderful team of volunteers that we have, because it affected children's

00:01:46.020 --> 00:01:49.500
 ministry across the board all the way up into our worship today.

00:01:49.500 --> 00:01:54.860
 And so just an extra reminder, as you see those greeters, or you see those volunteers at check-in

00:01:54.860 --> 00:01:59.680
 stations, or small group leaders, or musicians, or people in the booth, or in everywhere in

00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:04.600
 between, just thank them for what they do and for how they serve, because they had to ratchet it up a

00:02:04.600 --> 00:02:07.520
 little bit today as we work through some of those.

00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:10.700
 But we thank each and every one of you for being here today.

00:02:11.060 --> 00:02:14.080
 Well, we have a change to an announcement that we've been making.

00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:18.160
 And so if you're a calendar keeper, if you want to make sure you've got everything lined

00:02:18.160 --> 00:02:22.740
 up, we have been sharing for the last couple weeks that Rick and Tina Nolan, who are part

00:02:22.740 --> 00:02:27.000
 of Willow Ridge Church, who have been serving for two years on the foreign mission field in

00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:32.480
 Athens, Greece, working with Afghani refugees, are coming back to the states to continue the

00:02:32.480 --> 00:02:36.400
 work that the Lord is doing, but doing it in the United States.

00:02:36.700 --> 00:02:42.380
 And we had talked about having them together with us on Wednesday, June the 8th.

00:02:42.620 --> 00:02:46.400
 And due to some circumstances with them, with getting housing and everything lined up for

00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:48.500
 them, that date is not going to work.

00:02:48.580 --> 00:02:52.800
 And so instead, they will be with us on Sunday, July the 10th.

00:02:52.820 --> 00:02:57.140
 And so we've moved it about a month away from when we originally had it.

00:02:57.140 --> 00:03:02.320
 And so we would love to have you be here and be a part of that night to hear all the Lord

00:03:02.320 --> 00:03:04.140
 is doing, how God has used them.

00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:08.700
 And then also what they feel the Lord is leading to them, or they know what the Lord is leading

00:03:08.700 --> 00:03:12.440
 to them for this next chapter and next season in their life.

00:03:12.500 --> 00:03:17.980
 And so we look forward to having them back with us and being able to worship and continue

00:03:17.980 --> 00:03:20.300
 on in ministry with us as a church.

00:03:20.620 --> 00:03:23.740
 And so we'd like to invite you to be with us that evening.

00:03:24.160 --> 00:03:27.940
 So we are wrapping up our series in Ruth.

00:03:28.220 --> 00:03:31.700
 We've hit a chapter a week and started off with an introduction.

00:03:31.980 --> 00:03:36.080
 And so this week we're wrapping this series up and I'm excited to see.

00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:41.740
 It's been a good reminder for me of what we just sang about, right?

00:03:41.880 --> 00:03:44.380
 Through all my life, you have been faithful, right?

00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:48.740
 We don't say, God, through all of my life, I've been faithful to you, right?

00:03:48.780 --> 00:03:50.460
 We look at God's faithfulness.

00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:58.240
 And I think sometimes in our life we can get so caught up in the moment, we can get so caught

00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:05.440
 up in the detail, we can so get caught in the emotion of the circumstance of what's happening

00:04:05.440 --> 00:04:11.480
 that there can begin to be this feeling or this sense of where is God, where is God's faithfulness?

00:04:12.620 --> 00:04:18.240
 And as we've read through Ruth, there's those characters in this story that we can feel that,

00:04:18.300 --> 00:04:22.580
 these individuals who this continues to be where they are, but what we're reminded of

00:04:22.580 --> 00:04:27.520
 continually through the lives of others is the continued faithfulness of the Lord.

00:04:28.500 --> 00:04:33.000
 And we're going to see the culmination or the building of that as we wrap up this morning.

00:04:33.220 --> 00:04:36.460
 So what we're going to do, we're going to read a little bit, talk a little bit, read a little

00:04:36.460 --> 00:04:38.220
 bit, and then wrap it up here at the end.

00:04:38.280 --> 00:04:42.200
 So let's go ahead and jump in, we'll read all of chapter 4, we'll start in verse 1.

00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:47.420
 Now Boaz had gone up to the gate and sat down there.

00:04:48.400 --> 00:04:52.620
 And behold, the Redeemer of whom Boaz had spoken came by.

00:04:53.760 --> 00:04:57.520
 And so Boaz said, turn aside, friends, sit down here.

00:04:58.400 --> 00:05:00.500
 And he turned aside and sat down.

00:05:01.400 --> 00:05:05.280
 And he took ten men of the elders in the city and said, sit down here.

00:05:05.440 --> 00:05:06.620
 So they sat down.

00:05:07.520 --> 00:05:12.620
 And then he said to the Redeemer, Naomi, who has come back from the country of Moab,

00:05:12.960 --> 00:05:17.300
 is selling the parcel of land that belonged to your relative Elimelech.

00:05:18.140 --> 00:05:23.740
 So I thought I would tell you of it and say, buy it in the presence of those sitting here

00:05:23.740 --> 00:05:26.700
 and in the presence of the elders of my people.

00:05:26.860 --> 00:05:29.280
 If you will redeem it, redeem it.

00:05:29.280 --> 00:05:36.020
 But if you will not tell me that I may know, for there is no one besides you to redeem it.

00:05:36.140 --> 00:05:37.980
 And I come after you.

00:05:39.200 --> 00:05:41.820
 And he said, I will redeem it.

00:05:42.760 --> 00:05:48.260
 So if you were with us last week or reading through this with us, you know there was this pivotal interaction

00:05:48.260 --> 00:05:53.700
 between Boaz and Ruth on the threshing floor in chapter 3.

00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:58.800
 Where basically Ruth is saying, I want you to redeem me.

00:05:59.740 --> 00:06:05.160
 I want you to be the one who marries me, who does this.

00:06:05.260 --> 00:06:11.320
 But Boaz, being a man of character, Boaz, being a man of integrity, says, but there's someone else.

00:06:11.420 --> 00:06:15.340
 There's a nearer kinsman that has the rights before I do.

00:06:16.780 --> 00:06:24.560
 And so the next morning, he gets up and goes to the city gates where the businessmen and where business would be done that day.

00:06:25.280 --> 00:06:27.900
 And he knows this nearer kinsman would be.

00:06:28.820 --> 00:06:32.740
 And so he explains the situation to the kinsman.

00:06:33.340 --> 00:06:41.600
 And he says, if you choose to do this, to purchase Naomi's property, then you will become the redeemer.

00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:47.660
 And we said at the very beginning of the introduction, this is one of the greatest love stories of all time, right?

00:06:48.780 --> 00:06:52.300
 And we're hoping in that moment as we read, the guy's like, nah, I'm good.

00:06:53.200 --> 00:06:54.200
 But he doesn't.

00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:56.240
 He doesn't.

00:06:57.100 --> 00:07:02.620
 Instead, he says, okay, then I will redeem him.

00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:06.080
 And in our hearts, got to kind of be like, oh, no.

00:07:06.640 --> 00:07:07.640
 This isn't what we thought.

00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:08.640
 This isn't what we expected.

00:07:08.880 --> 00:07:10.020
 This isn't what we hoped for.

00:07:10.640 --> 00:07:12.100
 And so let's look at verse 5.

00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:15.260
 And then Boaz said,

00:07:16.520 --> 00:07:31.780
 The day you buy the field from the hand of Naomi, you also acquire Ruth the Moabite, the widow of the dead, in order to perpetuate the name of the dead and his inheritance.

00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:39.340
 And then the redeemer said, I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I impair my own inheritance.

00:07:39.700 --> 00:07:44.640
 Take my right of redemption yourself, for I cannot redeem it.

00:07:45.340 --> 00:07:50.160
 Now this was the custom in former times in Israel concerning redeeming and exchanging.

00:07:50.540 --> 00:07:55.000
 To confirm a transaction, the one drew off his sandal and gave it to the other.

00:07:55.100 --> 00:07:57.460
 And this was the manner of attesting in Israel.

00:07:57.460 --> 00:08:02.640
 So when the redeemer said to Boaz, buy it for yourself, he drew off his sandal.

00:08:02.960 --> 00:08:16.420
 Then Boaz said to the elders and all the people, you are witnesses in this day that I have bought from the hand of Naomi, all that belong to Elimelech, and all that belong to Chilean, and to Malan.

00:08:16.420 --> 00:08:34.940
 And so, also Ruth the Moabite, the widow of Malan, I have brought to be my wife, to perpetuate the name of the dead in his inheritance, that the name of the dead may not be cut off from among his brothers and from the gate of his native place.

00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:37.300
 You are witnesses this day.

00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:42.280
 And then all the people who were at the gate and the elders said, we are witnesses.

00:08:42.280 --> 00:08:50.720
 May the Lord make the woman who was coming into your house, like Rachel and Leah, who together built up the house of Israel.

00:08:51.680 --> 00:08:57.040
 May you act worthily in Ephraim and renowned in Bethlehem.

00:08:57.440 --> 00:09:07.380
 And may your house be like the house of Perez and Tamar who bore Judah, because the offspring of the Lord that will give you by this young woman.

00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:14.640
 And so Boaz tells him, you know, if you are the kinsman redeemer, then here's what this means.

00:09:14.700 --> 00:09:17.320
 You take Ruth as your wife.

00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:26.340
 And I don't know why, something with inheritance, something's going on there, but this guy's like, look, if that's what, I'm not looking to get married, right?

00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:27.860
 And so he passes.

00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:33.740
 And now Boaz and Ruth can get married.

00:09:34.760 --> 00:09:42.300
 What we've longed for, what we've hoped for, as we've seen this story take all of the ups and downs of what it's going through.

00:09:42.300 --> 00:09:49.000
 But then at the end, we begin to see, as they look forward, of the hope of offspring.

00:09:50.500 --> 00:09:53.780
 It's been a key theme throughout this entire book that we've studied.

00:09:53.980 --> 00:10:01.420
 The hope that comes, the hope that will be found, the future that is promised, because an offspring will be born.

00:10:03.560 --> 00:10:04.480
 And so verse 13.

00:10:06.100 --> 00:10:15.180
 So Boaz took Ruth, she became his wife, and he went into her, and the Lord gave her conception, and she bore a son.

00:10:17.140 --> 00:10:21.400
 And God telling the story of redemption.

00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:28.060
 And God blesses Boaz and blesses Ruth.

00:10:29.100 --> 00:10:32.020
 And that's where our hearts rejoice.

00:10:33.580 --> 00:10:34.820
 There's more to the story.

00:10:36.220 --> 00:10:38.160
 There's more in the story of redemption.

00:10:39.380 --> 00:10:41.240
 There's this story of Naomi.

00:10:42.700 --> 00:10:45.740
 And toward the end, in these last few verses,

00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:48.680
 the story kind of shifts

00:10:48.680 --> 00:10:51.600
 from Boaz and Ruth

00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:53.700
 to back to Naomi.

00:10:55.300 --> 00:10:57.860
 The one who at one point in time

00:10:57.860 --> 00:10:59.460
 had described herself,

00:10:59.560 --> 00:11:02.040
 had changed her name to Marah

00:11:02.040 --> 00:11:03.580
 to reflect the bitterness

00:11:03.580 --> 00:11:05.580
 that was in her heart.

00:11:06.660 --> 00:11:07.540
 Look at verse 14.

00:11:09.860 --> 00:11:10.960
 Then the women

00:11:10.960 --> 00:11:13.140
 said to Naomi,

00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:16.240
 Blessed be the Lord

00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:17.560
 who has not left you

00:11:17.560 --> 00:11:19.780
 this day without a redeemer.

00:11:21.040 --> 00:11:22.440
 And may his name

00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:23.820
 be renowned

00:11:23.820 --> 00:11:25.060
 in Israel.

00:11:26.580 --> 00:11:27.900
 He shall be to you

00:11:27.900 --> 00:11:29.520
 a restorer of life

00:11:29.520 --> 00:11:31.340
 and a nourisher

00:11:31.340 --> 00:11:32.460
 of your old age.

00:11:33.400 --> 00:11:34.920
 For your daughter-in-law

00:11:34.920 --> 00:11:36.400
 who loves you,

00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:39.320
 who is more to you

00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:40.680
 than seven sons,

00:11:41.780 --> 00:11:43.080
 has given birth to him.

00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:45.600
 And then Naomi

00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:46.520
 took the child

00:11:46.520 --> 00:11:49.420
 and laid him on her lap

00:11:49.420 --> 00:11:51.440
 and became his nurse.

00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:53.500
 And the women

00:11:53.500 --> 00:11:54.260
 of the neighborhood

00:11:54.260 --> 00:11:56.100
 gave him a name

00:11:56.100 --> 00:11:56.660
 saying,

00:11:57.640 --> 00:11:58.700
 a son has been born

00:11:58.700 --> 00:11:59.260
 to Naomi.

00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:01.980
 And they named him Obed.

00:12:02.980 --> 00:12:03.940
 And he was the father

00:12:03.940 --> 00:12:04.560
 of Jesse,

00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:06.700
 the father of David.

00:12:08.420 --> 00:12:08.980
 Naomi,

00:12:09.180 --> 00:12:09.960
 who's gone on this

00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:10.660
 rollercoaster

00:12:10.660 --> 00:12:11.720
 of experiences,

00:12:13.260 --> 00:12:13.940
 rollercoaster

00:12:13.940 --> 00:12:14.860
 of emotions,

00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:17.400
 and what we've even seen

00:12:17.400 --> 00:12:18.500
 within her life,

00:12:18.780 --> 00:12:19.660
 this rollercoaster

00:12:19.660 --> 00:12:20.620
 of faith.

00:12:21.580 --> 00:12:22.860
 From the very beginning,

00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:23.900
 in evidence of the things

00:12:23.900 --> 00:12:24.500
 that she said

00:12:24.500 --> 00:12:25.440
 that's come out of her mouth,

00:12:25.700 --> 00:12:27.100
 we know that Naomi

00:12:27.100 --> 00:12:28.580
 is a follower of God.

00:12:28.900 --> 00:12:30.480
 Naomi knows God.

00:12:30.760 --> 00:12:32.520
 Naomi knows about God.

00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:33.580
 But Naomi,

00:12:33.880 --> 00:12:36.000
 who just like so many of us,

00:12:36.120 --> 00:12:37.800
 has had such a difficult time

00:12:37.800 --> 00:12:39.560
 navigating herself

00:12:39.560 --> 00:12:40.460
 through the plan

00:12:40.460 --> 00:12:41.660
 that has been laid out

00:12:41.660 --> 00:12:42.980
 before her

00:12:42.980 --> 00:12:44.100
 by the Lord

00:12:44.100 --> 00:12:45.180
 to trust him

00:12:45.180 --> 00:12:46.420
 as she walks through that.

00:12:47.420 --> 00:12:48.800
 And what we see

00:12:48.800 --> 00:12:50.180
 in this story,

00:12:50.340 --> 00:12:51.140
 what we see

00:12:51.140 --> 00:12:52.260
 in this book

00:12:52.260 --> 00:12:53.180
 is a story

00:12:53.180 --> 00:12:54.360
 of setbacks,

00:12:55.220 --> 00:12:56.580
 of hope,

00:12:57.780 --> 00:12:58.940
 of tragedy

00:12:58.940 --> 00:12:59.920
 and despair,

00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:01.980
 of joy

00:13:01.980 --> 00:13:03.220
 and of strategies

00:13:03.220 --> 00:13:05.220
 all culminating

00:13:05.220 --> 00:13:06.100
 to one.

00:13:07.700 --> 00:13:08.460
 But I want to say

00:13:08.460 --> 00:13:08.880
 this to you

00:13:08.880 --> 00:13:10.680
 as we kind of draw

00:13:10.680 --> 00:13:11.840
 all that we've been studying

00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:12.820
 these last five weeks

00:13:12.820 --> 00:13:14.300
 from the book of Ruth.

00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:16.440
 When we look at Naomi,

00:13:16.620 --> 00:13:17.880
 when we look at Ruth,

00:13:17.980 --> 00:13:19.280
 when we look at Boaz,

00:13:19.320 --> 00:13:20.720
 when we see this story

00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:21.560
 that's unfolding,

00:13:21.820 --> 00:13:23.500
 if we think about it,

00:13:23.760 --> 00:13:24.040
 okay,

00:13:25.320 --> 00:13:26.160
 and we take away

00:13:26.160 --> 00:13:26.880
 some of the context

00:13:26.880 --> 00:13:27.500
 of the names

00:13:27.500 --> 00:13:28.280
 and the individuals,

00:13:29.660 --> 00:13:30.600
 if we take away

00:13:30.600 --> 00:13:32.120
 maybe some of the specifics

00:13:32.120 --> 00:13:33.180
 of the details

00:13:33.180 --> 00:13:35.020
 and we just look

00:13:35.020 --> 00:13:35.980
 big picture

00:13:35.980 --> 00:13:38.080
 at the story

00:13:38.080 --> 00:13:38.940
 that's unfolded

00:13:38.940 --> 00:13:39.700
 before us,

00:13:40.440 --> 00:13:42.200
 it's not necessarily

00:13:42.200 --> 00:13:44.580
 a truly unlikely story.

00:13:46.620 --> 00:13:47.380
 It's not a story

00:13:47.380 --> 00:13:48.080
 that would be

00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:49.460
 uncommon for others

00:13:49.460 --> 00:13:51.140
 to experience

00:13:51.140 --> 00:13:52.480
 or uncommon

00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:53.440
 maybe for you

00:13:53.440 --> 00:13:53.880
 or I

00:13:53.880 --> 00:13:54.680
 to walk through

00:13:54.680 --> 00:13:55.820
 with our families

00:13:55.820 --> 00:13:56.400
 in our lives

00:13:56.400 --> 00:13:57.120
 and here's what I mean

00:13:57.120 --> 00:13:57.520
 by that.

00:13:59.220 --> 00:14:00.140
 This family

00:14:00.140 --> 00:14:01.180
 from the very beginning

00:14:01.180 --> 00:14:02.660
 of what we talk to

00:14:02.660 --> 00:14:05.020
 begins by going

00:14:05.020 --> 00:14:06.060
 through some hardships.

00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:08.420
 Go through a famine.

00:14:09.860 --> 00:14:10.520
 Has your family

00:14:10.520 --> 00:14:11.180
 been through a hardship?

00:14:13.680 --> 00:14:14.640
 This family

00:14:14.640 --> 00:14:15.800
 as they begin

00:14:15.800 --> 00:14:17.020
 as we navigate

00:14:17.020 --> 00:14:18.440
 through this story,

00:14:18.880 --> 00:14:20.820
 they experience death.

00:14:21.860 --> 00:14:22.820
 Has your family

00:14:22.820 --> 00:14:23.580
 experienced death?

00:14:25.320 --> 00:14:26.160
 The death

00:14:26.160 --> 00:14:27.420
 that they experience

00:14:27.420 --> 00:14:29.180
 in some parts

00:14:29.180 --> 00:14:30.020
 is expected

00:14:30.020 --> 00:14:32.040
 and by expected

00:14:32.040 --> 00:14:32.440
 I mean

00:14:32.440 --> 00:14:33.900
 an older generation

00:14:33.900 --> 00:14:34.420
 died?

00:14:36.360 --> 00:14:37.420
 Have you walked

00:14:37.420 --> 00:14:37.860
 through that?

00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:41.420
 And in some cases

00:14:41.420 --> 00:14:43.020
 it's unexpected.

00:14:44.900 --> 00:14:45.400
 A mother

00:14:45.400 --> 00:14:46.460
 buries

00:14:46.460 --> 00:14:47.460
 her sons

00:14:47.460 --> 00:14:50.400
 and while less common

00:14:50.400 --> 00:14:52.400
 when I look

00:14:52.400 --> 00:14:53.160
 through the ministry

00:14:53.160 --> 00:14:53.900
 that God's

00:14:53.900 --> 00:14:55.560
 allowed me to have

00:14:55.560 --> 00:14:56.580
 over the last

00:14:56.580 --> 00:14:57.320
 20 years

00:14:57.320 --> 00:15:00.640
 when I perform

00:15:00.640 --> 00:15:02.180
 funerals

00:15:02.180 --> 00:15:04.280
 it's not always

00:15:04.280 --> 00:15:05.300
 grandpa or grandma.

00:15:06.900 --> 00:15:07.740
 It's been sons

00:15:07.740 --> 00:15:08.320
 and daughters

00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:09.120
 and grandsons

00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:09.860
 and granddaughters.

00:15:11.300 --> 00:15:12.540
 It's been adults.

00:15:12.700 --> 00:15:13.820
 It's been kids.

00:15:14.900 --> 00:15:15.460
 A family

00:15:15.460 --> 00:15:16.320
 that experiences

00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:16.960
 death

00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:18.400
 have you experienced

00:15:18.400 --> 00:15:18.720
 that?

00:15:20.220 --> 00:15:20.940
 It's a story

00:15:20.940 --> 00:15:22.080
 of love lost

00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:23.840
 and story

00:15:23.840 --> 00:15:24.400
 of love

00:15:24.400 --> 00:15:25.360
 found.

00:15:26.980 --> 00:15:28.360
 It's the story

00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:28.880
 of some

00:15:28.880 --> 00:15:29.520
 of those

00:15:29.520 --> 00:15:30.880
 who through

00:15:30.880 --> 00:15:31.680
 their faith

00:15:31.680 --> 00:15:32.880
 rise above

00:15:32.880 --> 00:15:33.880
 their circumstances

00:15:33.880 --> 00:15:36.640
 and it's some

00:15:36.640 --> 00:15:37.220
 that allow

00:15:37.220 --> 00:15:38.300
 their circumstances

00:15:38.300 --> 00:15:39.360
 to be all

00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:39.880
 consuming

00:15:39.880 --> 00:15:40.480
 and bring them

00:15:40.480 --> 00:15:40.740
 down.

00:15:43.160 --> 00:15:44.540
 It's the story

00:15:44.540 --> 00:15:46.740
 of a baby

00:15:46.740 --> 00:15:48.540
 being born.

00:15:50.140 --> 00:15:50.540
 Now here's

00:15:50.540 --> 00:15:51.420
 what makes us

00:15:51.420 --> 00:15:51.880
 at the very

00:15:51.880 --> 00:15:52.880
 beginning of this

00:15:52.880 --> 00:15:53.680
 begin to look

00:15:53.680 --> 00:15:54.220
 at this different

00:15:54.220 --> 00:15:54.920
 and this is good

00:15:54.920 --> 00:15:55.800
 and this is right

00:15:55.800 --> 00:15:56.360
 and this is what

00:15:56.360 --> 00:15:56.760
 we do.

00:15:57.840 --> 00:15:58.100
 You see

00:15:58.100 --> 00:15:59.040
 when you

00:15:59.040 --> 00:15:59.540
 and I

00:15:59.540 --> 00:16:00.600
 open God's

00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:01.020
 word

00:16:01.020 --> 00:16:02.880
 we open it

00:16:02.880 --> 00:16:03.260
 with an

00:16:03.260 --> 00:16:04.040
 expectation

00:16:04.040 --> 00:16:05.320
 right?

00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:07.120
 As a believer

00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:07.620
 and follower

00:16:07.620 --> 00:16:08.380
 of Jesus Christ

00:16:08.380 --> 00:16:08.720
 and knowing

00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:09.400
 that every

00:16:09.400 --> 00:16:09.980
 word from

00:16:09.980 --> 00:16:10.520
 Genesis to

00:16:10.520 --> 00:16:10.920
 Revelation

00:16:10.920 --> 00:16:11.780
 is true

00:16:11.780 --> 00:16:12.480
 is powerful

00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:13.300
 is living

00:16:13.300 --> 00:16:14.660
 is transformative

00:16:14.660 --> 00:16:16.000
 is the word

00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:16.480
 by which

00:16:16.480 --> 00:16:17.380
 through the hope

00:16:17.380 --> 00:16:17.840
 of Christ

00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:18.320
 that we are

00:16:18.320 --> 00:16:18.960
 saved

00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:19.660
 but when we

00:16:19.660 --> 00:16:20.460
 open God's

00:16:20.460 --> 00:16:21.000
 word as

00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:21.440
 believers

00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:22.280
 and so five

00:16:22.280 --> 00:16:22.860
 weeks ago

00:16:22.860 --> 00:16:23.580
 when we said

00:16:23.580 --> 00:16:24.580
 open up to

00:16:24.580 --> 00:16:24.820
 Ruth

00:16:24.820 --> 00:16:25.180
 we're going

00:16:25.180 --> 00:16:25.640
 to study

00:16:25.640 --> 00:16:25.920
 this

00:16:25.920 --> 00:16:26.500
 that you

00:16:26.500 --> 00:16:26.820
 and I

00:16:26.820 --> 00:16:27.360
 as followers

00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:27.920
 of Christ

00:16:27.920 --> 00:16:28.560
 what we

00:16:28.560 --> 00:16:29.120
 came to

00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:29.640
 was an

00:16:29.640 --> 00:16:30.080
 expectation

00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:30.640
 of two

00:16:30.640 --> 00:16:30.980
 things

00:16:30.980 --> 00:16:31.740
 number one

00:16:31.740 --> 00:16:32.760
 we expected

00:16:32.760 --> 00:16:33.760
 as we read

00:16:33.760 --> 00:16:34.480
 through this

00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:35.440
 even in the

00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:36.140
 midst of these

00:16:36.140 --> 00:16:37.720
 ordinary events

00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:38.400
 of life

00:16:38.400 --> 00:16:39.520
 for extraordinary

00:16:39.520 --> 00:16:40.440
 things to

00:16:40.440 --> 00:16:40.820
 happen

00:16:40.820 --> 00:16:42.780
 and we see

00:16:42.780 --> 00:16:43.280
 that in this

00:16:43.280 --> 00:16:43.700
 story

00:16:43.700 --> 00:16:45.400
 we see

00:16:45.400 --> 00:16:46.200
 extraordinary

00:16:46.200 --> 00:16:47.160
 events

00:16:47.160 --> 00:16:48.020
 unfold

00:16:48.020 --> 00:16:48.880
 before us

00:16:48.880 --> 00:16:49.420
 as we

00:16:49.420 --> 00:16:50.180
 read this

00:16:50.180 --> 00:16:50.620
 and as we

00:16:50.620 --> 00:16:51.220
 teach this

00:16:51.220 --> 00:16:51.600
 and as we

00:16:51.600 --> 00:16:52.140
 dive into

00:16:52.140 --> 00:16:52.860
 this in our

00:16:52.860 --> 00:16:53.540
 quiet time

00:16:53.540 --> 00:16:54.400
 we see

00:16:54.400 --> 00:16:55.240
 extraordinary

00:16:55.240 --> 00:16:55.900
 events

00:16:55.900 --> 00:16:56.420
 and we

00:16:56.420 --> 00:16:57.180
 expect that

00:16:57.180 --> 00:16:58.640
 no one ever

00:16:58.640 --> 00:16:59.320
 opens the

00:16:59.320 --> 00:16:59.620
 Bible

00:16:59.620 --> 00:16:59.940
 that's a

00:16:59.940 --> 00:17:00.400
 follower of

00:17:00.400 --> 00:17:00.720
 Christ

00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:01.100
 and says

00:17:01.100 --> 00:17:01.620
 this is

00:17:01.620 --> 00:17:02.000
 about to

00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:02.500
 be boring

00:17:02.500 --> 00:17:04.500
 we expect

00:17:04.500 --> 00:17:05.080
 extraordinary

00:17:05.080 --> 00:17:05.780
 events

00:17:05.780 --> 00:17:07.120
 because of

00:17:07.120 --> 00:17:07.460
 the second

00:17:07.460 --> 00:17:07.880
 reason

00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:09.540
 when we

00:17:09.540 --> 00:17:09.940
 open up

00:17:09.940 --> 00:17:10.260
 God's

00:17:10.260 --> 00:17:10.560
 word

00:17:10.560 --> 00:17:11.140
 we expect

00:17:11.140 --> 00:17:11.740
 to see

00:17:11.740 --> 00:17:12.600
 the hand

00:17:12.600 --> 00:17:13.060
 of God

00:17:13.060 --> 00:17:13.480
 at work

00:17:13.480 --> 00:17:13.760
 and we

00:17:13.760 --> 00:17:14.060
 do

00:17:14.060 --> 00:17:15.760
 it's what

00:17:15.760 --> 00:17:16.260
 we've talked

00:17:16.260 --> 00:17:16.840
 about from

00:17:16.840 --> 00:17:17.760
 day one

00:17:17.760 --> 00:17:18.300
 from moment

00:17:18.300 --> 00:17:18.600
 one

00:17:18.600 --> 00:17:19.260
 in this

00:17:19.260 --> 00:17:19.580
 study

00:17:19.580 --> 00:17:20.780
 is that

00:17:20.780 --> 00:17:21.180
 everything

00:17:21.180 --> 00:17:21.960
 that happens

00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:22.260
 we're

00:17:22.260 --> 00:17:22.800
 continued

00:17:22.800 --> 00:17:23.900
 and reminded

00:17:23.900 --> 00:17:24.680
 about the

00:17:24.680 --> 00:17:25.120
 hand of

00:17:25.120 --> 00:17:25.440
 God

00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:25.880
 and how

00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:26.220
 God is

00:17:26.220 --> 00:17:26.720
 working

00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:27.140
 through

00:17:27.140 --> 00:17:27.700
 things like

00:17:27.700 --> 00:17:28.180
 famine

00:17:28.180 --> 00:17:29.040
 and death

00:17:29.040 --> 00:17:30.260
 and through

00:17:30.260 --> 00:17:30.700
 things like

00:17:30.700 --> 00:17:31.200
 gleaning

00:17:31.200 --> 00:17:31.740
 from a

00:17:31.740 --> 00:17:32.200
 field

00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:34.300
 and a

00:17:34.300 --> 00:17:34.700
 threshing

00:17:34.700 --> 00:17:34.920
 room

00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:35.500
 floor

00:17:35.500 --> 00:17:37.460
 and an

00:17:37.460 --> 00:17:37.940
 encounter

00:17:37.940 --> 00:17:38.300
 at a

00:17:38.300 --> 00:17:38.700
 gate

00:17:38.700 --> 00:17:40.240
 and

00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:40.800
 everywhere

00:17:40.800 --> 00:17:42.400
 in between

00:17:42.400 --> 00:17:45.180
 but if

00:17:45.180 --> 00:17:45.360
 we were

00:17:45.360 --> 00:17:45.580
 to read

00:17:45.580 --> 00:17:46.280
 this story

00:17:46.280 --> 00:17:48.060
 out of

00:17:48.060 --> 00:17:48.740
 the context

00:17:48.740 --> 00:17:49.220
 of scripture

00:17:49.220 --> 00:17:52.020
 we might

00:17:52.020 --> 00:17:52.620
 miss that

00:17:52.620 --> 00:17:54.680
 we might

00:17:54.680 --> 00:17:55.180
 miss that

00:17:55.180 --> 00:17:55.500
 if we

00:17:55.500 --> 00:17:55.860
 didn't

00:17:55.860 --> 00:17:56.300
 bring

00:17:56.300 --> 00:17:57.240
 an

00:17:57.240 --> 00:17:57.860
 expectation

00:17:57.860 --> 00:17:58.600
 of the

00:17:58.600 --> 00:17:59.160
 extraordinary

00:17:59.160 --> 00:18:01.160
 we might

00:18:01.160 --> 00:18:01.780
 miss that

00:18:01.780 --> 00:18:02.060
 if we

00:18:02.060 --> 00:18:02.380
 didn't

00:18:02.380 --> 00:18:02.780
 bring

00:18:02.780 --> 00:18:03.280
 an

00:18:03.280 --> 00:18:03.800
 expectation

00:18:03.800 --> 00:18:04.980
 of looking

00:18:04.980 --> 00:18:05.280
 for the

00:18:05.280 --> 00:18:05.440
 hand

00:18:05.440 --> 00:18:05.580
 of

00:18:05.580 --> 00:18:05.880
 God

00:18:05.880 --> 00:18:07.560
 and so

00:18:07.560 --> 00:18:07.820
 what I

00:18:07.820 --> 00:18:08.100
 want to

00:18:08.100 --> 00:18:09.000
 say this

00:18:09.000 --> 00:18:09.360
 morning

00:18:09.360 --> 00:18:10.880
 what I

00:18:10.880 --> 00:18:11.120
 want us

00:18:11.120 --> 00:18:11.480
 to do

00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:11.940
 as we

00:18:11.940 --> 00:18:12.220
 read

00:18:12.220 --> 00:18:12.420
 through

00:18:12.420 --> 00:18:12.840
 this

00:18:12.840 --> 00:18:14.060
 is to

00:18:14.060 --> 00:18:14.500
 remind

00:18:14.500 --> 00:18:14.840
 ourselves

00:18:14.840 --> 00:18:15.140
 what I'm

00:18:15.140 --> 00:18:15.280
 going to

00:18:15.280 --> 00:18:15.640
 call

00:18:15.640 --> 00:18:16.620
 the miracle

00:18:16.620 --> 00:18:17.020
 in the

00:18:17.020 --> 00:18:17.520
 ordinary

00:18:17.520 --> 00:18:19.420
 the miracle

00:18:19.420 --> 00:18:19.660
 and the

00:18:19.660 --> 00:18:20.120
 ordinary

00:18:20.120 --> 00:18:22.260
 you see

00:18:22.260 --> 00:18:23.220
 in the story

00:18:23.220 --> 00:18:23.800
 of Ruth

00:18:23.800 --> 00:18:25.880
 there's no

00:18:25.880 --> 00:18:26.480
 parting of

00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:26.940
 the sea

00:18:26.940 --> 00:18:29.760
 in the story

00:18:29.760 --> 00:18:30.360
 of Ruth

00:18:30.360 --> 00:18:31.320
 there's no

00:18:31.320 --> 00:18:31.900
 miraculous

00:18:31.900 --> 00:18:32.600
 healing

00:18:32.600 --> 00:18:34.960
 in the story

00:18:34.960 --> 00:18:36.040
 of Ruth

00:18:36.040 --> 00:18:36.780
 there's no

00:18:36.780 --> 00:18:37.860
 slaying of

00:18:37.860 --> 00:18:38.120
 an

00:18:38.120 --> 00:18:38.700
 impotentable

00:18:38.700 --> 00:18:39.340
 force

00:18:39.340 --> 00:18:40.680
 there's no

00:18:40.680 --> 00:18:41.360
 manna that

00:18:41.360 --> 00:18:42.220
 falls from

00:18:42.220 --> 00:18:42.560
 heaven

00:18:42.560 --> 00:18:44.040
 but what

00:18:44.040 --> 00:18:44.760
 we see

00:18:44.760 --> 00:18:45.240
 is the

00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:46.200
 working hand

00:18:46.200 --> 00:18:47.120
 of God

00:18:47.120 --> 00:18:48.060
 in Ruth

00:18:48.060 --> 00:18:48.940
 and Naomi

00:18:48.940 --> 00:18:50.160
 all through

00:18:50.160 --> 00:18:50.380
 it

00:18:50.380 --> 00:18:51.720
 all through

00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:52.020
 from the

00:18:52.020 --> 00:18:52.640
 very beginning

00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:53.600
 go back

00:18:53.600 --> 00:18:54.220
 and think

00:18:54.220 --> 00:18:54.520
 through

00:18:54.520 --> 00:18:55.020
 from verse

00:18:55.020 --> 00:18:55.340
 one

00:18:55.340 --> 00:18:56.260
 without the

00:18:56.260 --> 00:18:56.620
 famine

00:18:56.620 --> 00:18:57.100
 there is

00:18:57.100 --> 00:18:57.640
 no journey

00:18:57.640 --> 00:18:58.320
 to Moab

00:18:58.320 --> 00:18:59.420
 without Moab

00:18:59.420 --> 00:18:59.860
 there is

00:18:59.860 --> 00:19:00.600
 no Ruth

00:19:00.600 --> 00:19:01.260
 without the

00:19:01.260 --> 00:19:01.700
 death of

00:19:01.700 --> 00:19:02.100
 Naomi's

00:19:02.100 --> 00:19:02.460
 husbands

00:19:02.460 --> 00:19:03.100
 and sons

00:19:03.100 --> 00:19:03.720
 there's no

00:19:03.720 --> 00:19:04.560
 desperation

00:19:04.560 --> 00:19:05.480
 in return

00:19:05.480 --> 00:19:06.280
 to Bethlehem

00:19:06.280 --> 00:19:06.900
 with no

00:19:06.900 --> 00:19:07.580
 desperation

00:19:07.580 --> 00:19:08.260
 there's no

00:19:08.260 --> 00:19:08.820
 need for

00:19:08.820 --> 00:19:09.440
 Ruth to

00:19:09.440 --> 00:19:10.040
 glean from

00:19:10.040 --> 00:19:10.540
 the fields

00:19:10.540 --> 00:19:11.160
 if there's

00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:11.760
 no fields

00:19:11.760 --> 00:19:12.120
 and there's

00:19:12.120 --> 00:19:12.920
 no Boaz

00:19:12.920 --> 00:19:13.360
 and Ruth

00:19:13.360 --> 00:19:13.960
 meeting

00:19:13.960 --> 00:19:14.500
 and if

00:19:14.500 --> 00:19:14.960
 Ruth and

00:19:14.960 --> 00:19:15.320
 Boaz

00:19:15.320 --> 00:19:15.860
 don't meet

00:19:15.860 --> 00:19:16.180
 then there

00:19:16.180 --> 00:19:16.540
 is no

00:19:16.540 --> 00:19:16.920
 marriage

00:19:16.920 --> 00:19:17.460
 and with

00:19:17.460 --> 00:19:18.060
 no marriage

00:19:18.060 --> 00:19:18.460
 there is

00:19:18.460 --> 00:19:19.100
 no Obed

00:19:19.100 --> 00:19:20.780
 and that's

00:19:20.780 --> 00:19:21.540
 the miraculous

00:19:21.540 --> 00:19:22.520
 working hand

00:19:22.520 --> 00:19:23.020
 of God

00:19:23.020 --> 00:19:23.800
 even in

00:19:23.800 --> 00:19:24.400
 events of

00:19:24.400 --> 00:19:24.700
 life

00:19:24.700 --> 00:19:25.300
 that other

00:19:25.300 --> 00:19:25.820
 people would

00:19:25.820 --> 00:19:26.260
 tell you

00:19:26.260 --> 00:19:27.060
 are ordinary

00:19:27.060 --> 00:19:27.880
 but we can

00:19:27.880 --> 00:19:28.240
 see the

00:19:28.240 --> 00:19:28.940
 extraordinary

00:19:28.940 --> 00:19:29.880
 hand of

00:19:29.880 --> 00:19:30.300
 the Lord

00:19:30.300 --> 00:19:31.020
 working

00:19:31.020 --> 00:19:31.720
 and moving

00:19:31.720 --> 00:19:32.320
 through that

00:19:32.320 --> 00:19:35.140
 and God

00:19:35.140 --> 00:19:35.680
 took

00:19:35.680 --> 00:19:37.380
 what would

00:19:37.380 --> 00:19:37.720
 be the

00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:38.080
 ordinary

00:19:38.080 --> 00:19:38.820
 events

00:19:38.820 --> 00:19:40.000
 and he

00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:40.220
 made

00:19:40.220 --> 00:19:40.360
 them

00:19:40.360 --> 00:19:40.780
 extraordinary

00:19:40.780 --> 00:19:41.020
 and I

00:19:41.020 --> 00:19:41.200
 want to

00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:41.520
 ask you

00:19:41.520 --> 00:19:41.800
 this

00:19:41.800 --> 00:19:43.280
 in our

00:19:43.280 --> 00:19:43.560
 own

00:19:43.560 --> 00:19:43.960
 lives

00:19:43.960 --> 00:19:46.220
 in our

00:19:46.220 --> 00:19:46.480
 own

00:19:46.480 --> 00:19:46.920
 lives

00:19:46.920 --> 00:19:48.500
 do we

00:19:48.500 --> 00:19:48.980
 stop and

00:19:48.980 --> 00:19:49.700
 give praise

00:19:49.700 --> 00:19:50.600
 and honor

00:19:50.600 --> 00:19:51.660
 and glory

00:19:51.660 --> 00:19:52.300
 in the

00:19:52.300 --> 00:19:53.000
 events of

00:19:53.000 --> 00:19:53.660
 our life

00:19:53.660 --> 00:19:54.680
 that seem

00:19:54.680 --> 00:19:55.500
 ordinary

00:19:55.500 --> 00:19:57.440
 and do we

00:19:57.440 --> 00:19:58.320
 look for

00:19:58.320 --> 00:19:59.140
 the active

00:19:59.140 --> 00:19:59.840
 working

00:19:59.840 --> 00:20:00.720
 hand

00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:01.400
 of the

00:20:01.400 --> 00:20:01.680
 Lord

00:20:01.680 --> 00:20:02.520
 in every

00:20:02.520 --> 00:20:03.200
 moment in

00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:03.800
 our life

00:20:03.800 --> 00:20:04.380
 and then

00:20:04.380 --> 00:20:04.920
 praising for

00:20:04.920 --> 00:20:05.140
 it

00:20:05.140 --> 00:20:07.060
 the other

00:20:07.060 --> 00:20:07.640
 day I was

00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:08.040
 sitting at a

00:20:08.040 --> 00:20:08.420
 red light

00:20:08.420 --> 00:20:10.060
 I was

00:20:10.060 --> 00:20:10.380
 sitting at

00:20:10.380 --> 00:20:10.740
 the red

00:20:10.740 --> 00:20:11.020
 light

00:20:11.020 --> 00:20:12.280
 if you

00:20:12.280 --> 00:20:13.900
 take the

00:20:13.900 --> 00:20:15.200
 two notch

00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:16.680
 that intersects

00:20:16.680 --> 00:20:17.720
 with South

00:20:17.720 --> 00:20:18.000
 Lake

00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:18.440
 six

00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:19.400
 and you

00:20:19.400 --> 00:20:19.680
 come to

00:20:19.680 --> 00:20:20.080
 that red

00:20:20.080 --> 00:20:20.320
 light

00:20:20.320 --> 00:20:20.620
 down at

00:20:20.620 --> 00:20:20.960
 the very

00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:21.240
 end

00:20:21.240 --> 00:20:21.680
 where there's

00:20:21.680 --> 00:20:22.960
 the CVS

00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:23.340
 and there's

00:20:23.340 --> 00:20:23.880
 the roses

00:20:23.880 --> 00:20:24.420
 and there's

00:20:24.420 --> 00:20:24.960
 all that

00:20:24.960 --> 00:20:25.700
 if you've

00:20:25.700 --> 00:20:26.000
 never

00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:27.040
 taken that

00:20:27.040 --> 00:20:27.740
 direction

00:20:27.740 --> 00:20:28.260
 and gotten

00:20:28.260 --> 00:20:28.700
 that red

00:20:28.700 --> 00:20:28.860
 light

00:20:28.860 --> 00:20:29.260
 let me just

00:20:29.260 --> 00:20:29.620
 say something

00:20:29.620 --> 00:20:30.020
 about that

00:20:30.020 --> 00:20:30.400
 red light

00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:31.360
 you can

00:20:31.360 --> 00:20:32.140
 take a nap

00:20:32.140 --> 00:20:32.540
 at that

00:20:32.540 --> 00:20:32.960
 red light

00:20:32.960 --> 00:20:33.260
 right

00:20:33.260 --> 00:20:34.200
 I've

00:20:34.200 --> 00:20:34.620
 eaten a

00:20:34.620 --> 00:20:35.160
 five course

00:20:35.160 --> 00:20:35.520
 meal

00:20:35.520 --> 00:20:35.880
 there

00:20:35.880 --> 00:20:36.320
 right

00:20:36.320 --> 00:20:37.740
 I wrote

00:20:37.740 --> 00:20:38.340
 a paper

00:20:38.340 --> 00:20:38.880
 sitting there

00:20:38.880 --> 00:20:39.220
 one day

00:20:39.220 --> 00:20:39.560
 all right

00:20:39.560 --> 00:20:41.660
 it takes

00:20:41.660 --> 00:20:42.260
 a while

00:20:42.260 --> 00:20:43.340
 now

00:20:43.340 --> 00:20:44.820
 I'm sitting

00:20:44.820 --> 00:20:45.640
 there at

00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:46.400
 that red

00:20:46.400 --> 00:20:46.720
 light

00:20:46.720 --> 00:20:48.400
 and I feel

00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:49.160
 my phone

00:20:49.160 --> 00:20:51.460
 vibrate

00:20:51.460 --> 00:20:53.080
 well I know

00:20:53.080 --> 00:20:53.640
 that I've been

00:20:53.640 --> 00:20:54.040
 sitting there

00:20:54.040 --> 00:20:54.520
 for a while

00:20:54.520 --> 00:20:54.880
 but I'm

00:20:54.880 --> 00:20:55.480
 thinking I've

00:20:55.480 --> 00:20:55.780
 at least

00:20:55.780 --> 00:20:56.160
 got another

00:20:56.160 --> 00:20:56.720
 30 minutes

00:20:56.720 --> 00:20:57.180
 so let me

00:20:57.180 --> 00:20:57.900
 check it out

00:20:57.900 --> 00:20:58.360
 and see what's

00:20:58.360 --> 00:20:58.940
 going on

00:20:58.940 --> 00:21:00.440
 and I

00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:00.960
 realized it

00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:01.220
 was a

00:21:01.220 --> 00:21:01.520
 message

00:21:01.520 --> 00:21:01.780
 I was

00:21:01.780 --> 00:21:01.980
 like you

00:21:01.980 --> 00:21:02.520
 know I'll

00:21:02.520 --> 00:21:03.720
 just sit

00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:04.180
 here with my

00:21:04.180 --> 00:21:04.540
 foot on the

00:21:04.540 --> 00:21:04.960
 brake and

00:21:04.960 --> 00:21:05.540
 just respond

00:21:05.540 --> 00:21:06.140
 now probably

00:21:06.140 --> 00:21:06.620
 not the

00:21:06.620 --> 00:21:07.320
 best thing

00:21:07.320 --> 00:21:07.700
 the best

00:21:07.700 --> 00:21:08.280
 timing to

00:21:08.280 --> 00:21:08.620
 do but

00:21:08.620 --> 00:21:08.960
 that's

00:21:08.960 --> 00:21:09.220
 what I

00:21:09.220 --> 00:21:09.460
 did

00:21:09.460 --> 00:21:11.000
 and then

00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:11.440
 all of a

00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:11.720
 sudden

00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:12.960
 I heard

00:21:12.960 --> 00:21:13.580
 that gracious

00:21:13.580 --> 00:21:14.160
 noise

00:21:14.160 --> 00:21:16.260
 that says

00:21:16.260 --> 00:21:16.960
 will you

00:21:16.960 --> 00:21:17.580
 please go

00:21:17.580 --> 00:21:18.100
 right

00:21:18.100 --> 00:21:26.840
 and I

00:21:26.840 --> 00:21:27.460
 look up

00:21:27.460 --> 00:21:28.800
 sorry

00:21:28.800 --> 00:21:29.980
 and as

00:21:29.980 --> 00:21:30.320
 I take

00:21:30.320 --> 00:21:30.760
 off to

00:21:30.760 --> 00:21:31.040
 go

00:21:31.040 --> 00:21:32.560
 a big

00:21:32.560 --> 00:21:33.180
 old truck

00:21:33.180 --> 00:21:33.780
 comes blazing

00:21:33.780 --> 00:21:34.140
 through that

00:21:34.140 --> 00:21:34.740
 intersection

00:21:34.740 --> 00:21:36.320
 right

00:21:36.320 --> 00:21:39.360
 was it

00:21:39.360 --> 00:21:39.800
 chance

00:21:39.800 --> 00:21:41.860
 we don't

00:21:41.860 --> 00:21:42.240
 believe in

00:21:42.240 --> 00:21:42.640
 chance

00:21:42.640 --> 00:21:44.960
 was it

00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:45.560
 dumb luck

00:21:45.560 --> 00:21:46.800
 because I

00:21:46.800 --> 00:21:47.060
 shouldn't have

00:21:47.060 --> 00:21:47.360
 been on my

00:21:47.360 --> 00:21:47.820
 phone and I

00:21:47.820 --> 00:21:48.060
 should have

00:21:48.060 --> 00:21:48.680
 activated the

00:21:48.680 --> 00:21:49.160
 settings right

00:21:49.160 --> 00:21:49.560
 that cut it

00:21:49.560 --> 00:21:49.920
 off when I

00:21:49.920 --> 00:21:50.400
 start moving

00:21:50.400 --> 00:21:51.120
 I know

00:21:51.120 --> 00:21:51.500
 that

00:21:51.500 --> 00:21:53.280
 we don't

00:21:53.280 --> 00:21:53.560
 believe in

00:21:53.560 --> 00:21:53.900
 that either

00:21:53.900 --> 00:21:56.000
 or was it

00:21:56.000 --> 00:21:57.360
 the providential

00:21:57.360 --> 00:21:58.500
 hand

00:21:58.660 --> 00:21:59.740
 of God

00:21:59.740 --> 00:22:01.380
 in that

00:22:01.380 --> 00:22:02.160
 moment

00:22:02.160 --> 00:22:02.880
 to spare

00:22:02.880 --> 00:22:04.000
 my life

00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:05.940
 and in that

00:22:05.940 --> 00:22:06.340
 moment

00:22:06.340 --> 00:22:07.260
 we praise

00:22:07.260 --> 00:22:07.440
 him

00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:09.820
 here's what I

00:22:09.820 --> 00:22:10.480
 find as I

00:22:10.480 --> 00:22:11.180
 read through

00:22:11.180 --> 00:22:12.120
 the details

00:22:12.120 --> 00:22:13.840
 of this story

00:22:13.840 --> 00:22:14.600
 particularly

00:22:14.600 --> 00:22:16.660
 is you and

00:22:16.660 --> 00:22:17.780
 I we spend

00:22:17.780 --> 00:22:18.900
 way too

00:22:18.900 --> 00:22:19.760
 much time

00:22:19.760 --> 00:22:21.980
 asking God

00:22:21.980 --> 00:22:22.740
 where he's

00:22:22.740 --> 00:22:23.180
 at

00:22:23.180 --> 00:22:25.580
 and asking

00:22:25.580 --> 00:22:26.420
 God why

00:22:26.420 --> 00:22:27.060
 he has done

00:22:27.060 --> 00:22:27.540
 nothing

00:22:27.540 --> 00:22:30.540
 instead of

00:22:30.540 --> 00:22:32.620
 focusing on

00:22:32.620 --> 00:22:33.380
 all that he

00:22:33.380 --> 00:22:34.020
 has done

00:22:34.020 --> 00:22:35.960
 looking for

00:22:35.960 --> 00:22:36.640
 it in our

00:22:36.640 --> 00:22:37.260
 lives

00:22:37.260 --> 00:22:39.160
 and then

00:22:39.160 --> 00:22:39.860
 praising him

00:22:39.860 --> 00:22:40.180
 for it

00:22:40.180 --> 00:22:40.400
 when it

00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:40.840
 happens

00:22:40.840 --> 00:22:43.180
 and all

00:22:43.180 --> 00:22:43.720
 of the

00:22:43.720 --> 00:22:44.260
 ordinary

00:22:44.260 --> 00:22:45.840
 events

00:22:45.840 --> 00:22:47.240
 that happen

00:22:47.240 --> 00:22:48.180
 and take

00:22:48.180 --> 00:22:48.700
 place

00:22:48.700 --> 00:22:50.180
 to praise

00:22:50.180 --> 00:22:51.180
 the Lord

00:22:51.180 --> 00:22:52.700
 and understand

00:22:52.700 --> 00:22:54.180
 the miracle

00:22:54.180 --> 00:22:54.860
 of that

00:22:54.860 --> 00:22:55.160
 in our

00:22:55.160 --> 00:22:55.540
 lives

00:22:55.540 --> 00:22:56.180
 right

00:22:56.180 --> 00:22:57.940
 the miracle

00:22:57.940 --> 00:22:58.920
 in the

00:22:58.920 --> 00:22:59.440
 ordinary

00:22:59.440 --> 00:23:00.840
 because here's

00:23:00.840 --> 00:23:01.280
 the thing

00:23:01.280 --> 00:23:02.680
 it's not

00:23:02.680 --> 00:23:03.340
 ordinary

00:23:03.340 --> 00:23:04.600
 at all

00:23:04.600 --> 00:23:06.520
 it's

00:23:06.520 --> 00:23:07.260
 extraordinary

00:23:07.260 --> 00:23:09.000
 that the

00:23:09.000 --> 00:23:09.600
 creator

00:23:09.600 --> 00:23:10.540
 of the

00:23:10.540 --> 00:23:10.920
 heavens

00:23:10.920 --> 00:23:11.680
 and the

00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:12.080
 earth

00:23:12.080 --> 00:23:13.040
 in every

00:23:13.040 --> 00:23:13.460
 moment

00:23:13.460 --> 00:23:14.300
 the savior

00:23:14.300 --> 00:23:15.160
 of our

00:23:15.160 --> 00:23:15.580
 soul

00:23:15.580 --> 00:23:16.640
 the redeemer

00:23:16.640 --> 00:23:17.580
 of our

00:23:17.580 --> 00:23:18.040
 life

00:23:18.040 --> 00:23:19.120
 is with

00:23:19.120 --> 00:23:19.520
 us

00:23:19.520 --> 00:23:20.740
 knows us

00:23:20.740 --> 00:23:21.540
 and loves

00:23:21.540 --> 00:23:22.160
 us

00:23:22.160 --> 00:23:24.060
 and do we

00:23:24.060 --> 00:23:24.620
 praise him

00:23:24.620 --> 00:23:26.160
 for it

00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:27.780
 I'm reminded

00:23:27.780 --> 00:23:28.960
 also as we

00:23:28.960 --> 00:23:30.220
 study through

00:23:30.220 --> 00:23:30.640
 this

00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:31.760
 book

00:23:31.760 --> 00:23:33.780
 the pursuits

00:23:33.780 --> 00:23:34.160
 that we

00:23:34.160 --> 00:23:34.600
 have in

00:23:34.600 --> 00:23:35.000
 life

00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:36.540
 and I

00:23:36.540 --> 00:23:36.960
 want to ask

00:23:38.820 --> 00:23:39.560
 life marked

00:23:39.560 --> 00:23:40.020
 with the

00:23:40.020 --> 00:23:40.460
 pursuit

00:23:40.460 --> 00:23:40.900
 of pure

00:23:40.900 --> 00:23:41.320
 joy

00:23:41.320 --> 00:23:43.260
 or is

 your life

00:23:43.820 --> 00:23:44.100
 marked

00:23:44.100 --> 00:23:44.380
 with the

00:23:44.380 --> 00:23:44.780
 pursuit

00:23:44.780 --> 00:23:45.280
 of fleeting

00:23:45.280 --> 00:23:45.840
 happiness

00:23:45.840 --> 00:23:48.060
 I read

00:23:48.060 --> 00:23:48.420
 an author

00:23:48.420 --> 00:23:48.940
 this week

00:23:48.940 --> 00:23:49.380
 who said

00:23:49.380 --> 00:23:49.900
 the life

00:23:49.900 --> 00:23:50.260
 of the

00:23:50.260 --> 00:23:50.900
 godly

00:23:50.900 --> 00:23:52.280
 is not

00:23:52.280 --> 00:23:52.780
 a straight

00:23:52.780 --> 00:23:53.340
 line to

00:23:53.340 --> 00:23:53.800
 glory

00:23:53.800 --> 00:23:55.160
 but they

00:23:55.160 --> 00:23:55.640
 do get

00:23:55.640 --> 00:23:56.040
 there

00:23:56.040 --> 00:23:57.600
 I want to

00:23:57.600 --> 00:23:57.840

00:23:57.840 --> 00:23:58.060
 to you

00:23:58.060 --> 00:23:58.340
 again

00:23:58.340 --> 00:24:00.020
 the life

00:24:00.020 --> 00:24:00.300
 of the

00:24:00.300 --> 00:24:00.820
 godly

00:24:00.820 --> 00:24:01.140
 is not

00:24:01.140 --> 00:24:01.540
 a straight

00:24:01.540 --> 00:24:01.980
 line to

00:24:01.980 --> 00:24:02.420
 glory

00:24:02.420 --> 00:24:02.960
 but they

00:24:02.960 --> 00:24:03.780
 do get

00:24:03.780 --> 00:24:04.020
 there

00:24:04.020 --> 00:24:04.560
 let's keep

00:24:04.560 --> 00:24:04.880
 up with

00:24:04.880 --> 00:24:05.180
 the theme

00:24:05.180 --> 00:24:05.660
 of driving

00:24:05.660 --> 00:24:06.080
 and talk

00:24:06.080 --> 00:24:06.520
 about that

00:24:06.520 --> 00:24:06.860
 some more

00:24:06.860 --> 00:24:07.080
 okay

00:24:07.080 --> 00:24:08.000
 I've never

00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:08.940
 driven past

00:24:08.940 --> 00:24:09.560
 the state

00:24:09.560 --> 00:24:10.480
 of Mississippi

00:24:10.480 --> 00:24:11.960
 like Mississippi

00:24:11.960 --> 00:24:12.560
 Arkansas

00:24:12.560 --> 00:24:13.320
 that's kind

00:24:13.320 --> 00:24:13.780
 of as far

00:24:13.780 --> 00:24:14.380
 as I've been

00:24:14.380 --> 00:24:14.980
 haven't been

00:24:14.980 --> 00:24:15.740
 any farther

00:24:15.740 --> 00:24:16.520
 than out there

00:24:16.520 --> 00:24:17.480
 I would love

00:24:17.480 --> 00:24:18.040
 nothing would

00:24:18.040 --> 00:24:18.880
 warm my heart

00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:19.600
 than for me

00:24:19.600 --> 00:24:20.200
 and my wife

00:24:20.200 --> 00:24:20.740
 to get in

00:24:20.740 --> 00:24:21.440
 and drive

00:24:21.440 --> 00:24:22.200
 all the way

00:24:22.200 --> 00:24:22.840
 across the

00:24:22.840 --> 00:24:23.240
 country

00:24:23.240 --> 00:24:24.040
 head all

00:24:24.040 --> 00:24:24.340
 the way

00:24:24.340 --> 00:24:24.620
 up the

00:24:24.620 --> 00:24:25.160
 west coast

00:24:25.160 --> 00:24:26.020
 drive all

00:24:26.020 --> 00:24:26.360
 the way

00:24:26.360 --> 00:24:26.920
 back through

00:24:26.920 --> 00:24:27.560
 I would

00:24:27.560 --> 00:24:28.200
 absolutely

00:24:28.200 --> 00:24:28.980
 love to

00:24:28.980 --> 00:24:29.420
 do that

00:24:29.420 --> 00:24:30.100
 nothing

00:24:30.100 --> 00:24:30.400
 would

00:24:30.400 --> 00:24:30.780
 pain

00:24:30.780 --> 00:24:31.480
 my wife

00:24:31.480 --> 00:24:31.840
 more

00:24:31.840 --> 00:24:32.340
 than to

00:24:32.340 --> 00:24:32.680
 get in

00:24:32.680 --> 00:24:33.080
 a car

00:24:33.080 --> 00:24:33.620
 with me

00:24:33.620 --> 00:24:34.340
 and drive

00:24:34.340 --> 00:24:35.000
 all the

00:24:35.000 --> 00:24:35.180
 way

00:24:35.180 --> 00:24:35.540
 across

00:24:35.540 --> 00:24:36.060
 and it's

00:24:36.060 --> 00:24:36.420
 not that

00:24:36.420 --> 00:24:36.780
 it's me

00:24:36.780 --> 00:24:37.080
 it would

00:24:37.080 --> 00:24:37.500
 be you

00:24:37.500 --> 00:24:37.720
 too

00:24:37.720 --> 00:24:37.980
 right

00:24:37.980 --> 00:24:38.680
 like she's

00:24:38.680 --> 00:24:39.120
 not the

00:24:39.120 --> 00:24:39.840
 car rider

00:24:39.840 --> 00:24:40.380
 that's not

00:24:40.380 --> 00:24:41.180
 that's not

00:24:41.180 --> 00:24:41.800
 joy for

00:24:41.800 --> 00:24:42.040
 her

00:24:42.040 --> 00:24:42.580
 she would

00:24:42.580 --> 00:24:42.860
 be like

00:24:42.860 --> 00:24:43.340
 cool

00:24:43.340 --> 00:24:44.360
 you drive

00:24:44.360 --> 00:24:45.080
 to Dallas

00:24:45.080 --> 00:24:46.000
 I'll meet

00:24:46.000 --> 00:24:46.440
 you there

00:24:46.440 --> 00:24:46.800
 all right

00:24:46.800 --> 00:24:47.580
 and then you

00:24:47.580 --> 00:24:48.080
 drive to

00:24:48.080 --> 00:24:48.720
 Los Angeles

00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:49.620
 I'll meet

00:24:49.620 --> 00:24:50.020
 you there

00:24:50.020 --> 00:24:50.480
 like that's

00:24:50.480 --> 00:24:51.040
 more her

00:24:51.040 --> 00:24:51.460
 speed on

00:24:51.460 --> 00:24:51.880
 a plane

00:24:51.880 --> 00:24:52.320
 so I

00:24:52.320 --> 00:24:52.580
 haven't

00:24:52.580 --> 00:24:52.960
 driven

00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:53.700
 past that

00:24:53.700 --> 00:24:54.380
 but my

00:24:54.380 --> 00:24:55.180
 dad one

00:24:55.180 --> 00:24:55.560
 time this

00:24:55.560 --> 00:24:56.640
 early on

00:24:56.640 --> 00:24:57.080
 in my

00:24:57.080 --> 00:24:57.420
 marriage

00:24:57.420 --> 00:24:58.300
 my dad

00:24:58.300 --> 00:24:58.700
 took a

00:24:58.700 --> 00:24:59.120
 job

00:24:59.120 --> 00:25:00.560
 in Nebraska

00:25:00.560 --> 00:25:01.280
 it was

00:25:01.280 --> 00:25:01.840
 seasonal work

00:25:01.840 --> 00:25:02.180
 he'd go out

00:25:02.180 --> 00:25:02.360
 there and

00:25:02.360 --> 00:25:02.680
 work for

00:25:02.680 --> 00:25:03.060
 six to

00:25:03.060 --> 00:25:03.460
 eight months

00:25:03.460 --> 00:25:03.700
 and then

00:25:03.700 --> 00:25:04.200
 he'd come

00:25:04.200 --> 00:25:04.620
 home to

00:25:04.620 --> 00:25:05.320
 North Augusta

00:25:05.320 --> 00:25:06.000
 and on his

00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:06.860
 first route

00:25:06.860 --> 00:25:07.680
 to Nebraska

00:25:07.680 --> 00:25:08.560
 I'd kind of

00:25:08.560 --> 00:25:08.960
 call him

00:25:08.960 --> 00:25:09.400
 every day

00:25:09.400 --> 00:25:10.040
 and ask him

00:25:10.040 --> 00:25:10.600
 how his

00:25:10.600 --> 00:25:11.340
 trip's going

00:25:11.340 --> 00:25:12.040
 and I knew

00:25:12.040 --> 00:25:12.260
 it was going

00:25:12.260 --> 00:25:12.600
 to take a

00:25:12.600 --> 00:25:13.160
 really long

00:25:13.160 --> 00:25:13.640
 time because

00:25:13.640 --> 00:25:14.040
 my dad

00:25:14.040 --> 00:25:14.340
 doesn't like

00:25:14.340 --> 00:25:14.620
 to go over

00:25:14.620 --> 00:25:15.320
 55 miles

00:25:15.320 --> 00:25:15.640
 an hour

00:25:15.640 --> 00:25:16.120
 so he had

00:25:16.120 --> 00:25:16.500
 like three

00:25:16.500 --> 00:25:16.920
 weeks to

00:25:16.920 --> 00:25:17.300
 get there

00:25:17.300 --> 00:25:18.020
 so every

00:25:18.020 --> 00:25:18.460
 day I'm

00:25:18.460 --> 00:25:19.060
 calling him

00:25:19.060 --> 00:25:19.620
 and he

00:25:19.620 --> 00:25:20.220
 finally kind

00:25:20.220 --> 00:25:20.580
 of hit the

00:25:20.580 --> 00:25:21.140
 last leg

00:25:21.140 --> 00:25:21.400
 of his

00:25:21.400 --> 00:25:21.700
 tour

00:25:21.700 --> 00:25:22.560
 and it was

00:25:22.560 --> 00:25:22.720
 gonna be

00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:23.380
 the Iowa

00:25:24.180 --> 00:25:24.560
 to where

00:25:24.560 --> 00:25:24.860
 he was

00:25:24.860 --> 00:25:25.180
 going

00:25:25.180 --> 00:25:26.620
 and so I

00:25:26.620 --> 00:25:27.040
 called him

00:25:27.040 --> 00:25:27.240
 when he

00:25:27.240 --> 00:25:27.640
 got to

00:25:27.640 --> 00:25:28.100
 Nebraska

00:25:28.100 --> 00:25:28.400
 and I

00:25:31.680 --> 00:25:31.980
 said well

00:25:31.980 --> 00:25:32.380

00:25:34.480 --> 00:25:35.440
 see trees

00:25:35.440 --> 00:25:37.280
 I didn't

00:25:37.280 --> 00:25:38.420
 see mountains

00:25:38.420 --> 00:25:40.140
 I didn't

00:25:40.140 --> 00:25:40.960
 see people

00:25:40.960 --> 00:25:42.700

00:25:43.840 --> 00:25:44.980
 Iowa to

00:25:44.980 --> 00:25:45.640
 Nebraska

00:25:58.100 --> 00:25:58.540
 my hotel

00:25:58.540 --> 00:25:59.400
 after one

00:25:59.400 --> 00:25:59.560
 of the

00:25:59.560 --> 00:26:00.180
 most boring

00:26:00.180 --> 00:26:00.780
 drives

00:26:00.780 --> 00:26:01.540
 of corn

00:26:01.540 --> 00:26:02.180

00:26:40.020 --> 00:26:40.320
 like the

00:26:40.320 --> 00:26:40.820
 drive was

00:26:40.820 --> 00:26:41.220
 boring

00:26:41.220 --> 00:26:41.740
 but I'm

00:26:41.740 --> 00:26:41.920
 thinking

00:26:44.260 --> 00:26:44.480
 gonna go

00:26:44.480 --> 00:26:44.720

00:26:45.020 --> 00:26:45.540
 corn

00:26:45.540 --> 00:26:46.040
 he said

00:26:46.040 --> 00:26:46.280
 so I

00:26:46.280 --> 00:26:46.680
 walked

00:26:46.680 --> 00:26:47.040
 in

00:26:47.040 --> 00:26:48.980
 and you

00:26:48.980 --> 00:26:49.340
 saw it

00:26:49.340 --> 00:26:49.480
 it was

00:26:49.480 --> 00:26:49.660
 like

00:26:49.660 --> 00:26:51.020
 like an

00:26:51.020 --> 00:26:51.600
 old school

00:26:51.600 --> 00:26:52.140

00:26:52.140 --> 00:26:52.500
 all right

00:26:52.500 --> 00:26:52.960
 golden

00:26:52.960 --> 00:26:53.720
 corral

00:26:53.720 --> 00:26:54.300
 like just

00:26:54.300 --> 00:26:54.900
 laid out

00:26:54.900 --> 00:26:56.540
 he said

00:26:56.540 --> 00:26:56.860
 buddy

00:26:56.860 --> 00:26:58.760
 they had

00:26:58.760 --> 00:26:59.280

00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:01.200
 country

00:27:01.200 --> 00:27:01.500

00:27:01.500 --> 00:27:01.860
 they had

00:27:01.860 --> 00:27:02.520
 nachos

00:27:02.520 --> 00:27:04.760
 but there

00:27:04.760 --> 00:27:05.260
 was not

00:27:05.260 --> 00:27:05.900
 one

00:27:05.900 --> 00:27:07.140
 single

00:27:07.140 --> 00:27:08.180
 piece

00:27:08.180 --> 00:27:09.380
 of corn

00:27:09.380 --> 00:27:10.120
 on that

00:27:10.120 --> 00:27:10.440
 buffet

00:27:10.440 --> 00:27:10.960
 right

00:27:10.960 --> 00:27:12.640
 he said

00:27:12.640 --> 00:27:12.960
 I was just

00:27:12.960 --> 00:27:13.460
 devastated

00:27:13.460 --> 00:27:13.880
 that's all

00:27:13.880 --> 00:27:14.420
 I wanted

00:27:17.680 --> 00:27:18.220
 the drive

00:27:18.220 --> 00:27:20.120
 so it was

00:27:20.120 --> 00:27:20.460
 easy

00:27:20.460 --> 00:27:22.360
 but it was

00:27:22.360 --> 00:27:22.720
 boring

00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:24.980
 this past

00:27:28.880 --> 00:27:29.240
 mountains

00:27:29.240 --> 00:27:30.700

00:27:33.200 --> 00:27:33.700

00:27:33.700 --> 00:27:34.000
 spring

00:27:34.000 --> 00:27:34.340

00:27:34.340 --> 00:27:34.580
 and

00:27:34.580 --> 00:27:35.080
 and

00:27:35.080 --> 00:27:35.720

00:27:36.320 --> 00:27:36.480
 she

00:27:36.480 --> 00:27:36.720
 wanted

00:27:36.720 --> 00:27:36.780
 to

00:27:36.780 --> 00:27:36.900
 do

00:27:36.900 --> 00:27:37.140
 Grace

00:27:37.300 --> 00:27:37.420
 he

00:27:37.420 --> 00:27:37.620
 wanted

00:27:37.620 --> 00:27:37.660
 to

00:27:37.660 --> 00:27:37.760
 do

00:27:37.760 --> 00:27:37.900
 but

00:27:37.900 --> 00:27:38.040
 Emma

00:27:38.040 --> 00:27:38.240
 wanted

00:27:38.240 --> 00:27:38.320
 to

00:27:38.320 --> 00:27:38.440
 see

00:27:38.440 --> 00:27:38.600
 a

00:27:38.600 --> 00:27:39.240
 waterfall

00:27:39.240 --> 00:27:39.780
 every day

00:27:39.780 --> 00:27:40.100
 wanted to

00:27:40.100 --> 00:27:40.320
 go see

00:27:40.320 --> 00:27:40.720
 a waterfall

00:27:40.720 --> 00:27:42.540
 so I found

00:27:42.540 --> 00:27:43.020
 a waterfall

00:27:43.020 --> 00:27:43.400
 that we were

00:27:43.400 --> 00:27:43.720
 going to go

00:27:43.720 --> 00:27:43.960
 see

00:27:43.960 --> 00:27:44.400
 that we could

00:27:44.400 --> 00:27:45.080
 go to

00:27:45.080 --> 00:27:45.520
 that we could

00:27:45.520 --> 00:27:45.920
 walk

00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:46.280
 and walk

00:27:46.280 --> 00:27:46.760
 behind

00:27:46.760 --> 00:27:47.780
 and everybody

00:27:47.780 --> 00:27:48.220
 on the internet

00:27:48.220 --> 00:27:48.600
 said this is

00:27:48.600 --> 00:27:49.040
 where you'll get

00:27:49.040 --> 00:27:49.460
 the prettiest

00:27:49.460 --> 00:27:49.880
 pictures

00:27:49.880 --> 00:27:50.340
 and all that

00:27:50.340 --> 00:27:50.740
 kind of stuff

00:27:50.740 --> 00:27:51.520
 and so I

00:27:51.520 --> 00:27:52.200
 pulled up

00:27:52.200 --> 00:27:53.020
 on my

00:27:53.020 --> 00:27:53.820
 google maps

00:27:53.820 --> 00:27:54.500
 on my phone

00:27:54.500 --> 00:27:55.380
 the route

00:27:55.380 --> 00:27:55.880
 from our

00:27:55.880 --> 00:27:56.800
 cabin to where

00:27:56.800 --> 00:27:57.440
 this mountain

00:27:57.440 --> 00:27:57.780
 is

00:27:57.780 --> 00:27:58.680
 or this waterfall

00:27:58.680 --> 00:27:59.040
 is

00:27:59.040 --> 00:27:59.800
 and it

00:27:59.800 --> 00:28:00.200
 says

00:28:00.200 --> 00:28:00.560
 that

00:28:00.560 --> 00:28:01.200
 it's

00:28:01.200 --> 00:28:01.480
 only

00:28:01.480 --> 00:28:01.820
 about

00:28:01.820 --> 00:28:02.140
 10

00:28:02.140 --> 00:28:02.500
 miles

00:28:02.500 --> 00:28:02.920
 away

00:28:02.920 --> 00:28:03.140
 but

00:28:03.140 --> 00:28:03.300
 will

00:28:03.300 --> 00:28:03.520
 take

00:28:03.520 --> 00:28:03.740
 about

00:28:03.740 --> 00:28:04.040
 40

00:28:04.040 --> 00:28:04.320
 minutes

00:28:04.320 --> 00:28:04.500
 to

00:28:04.500 --> 00:28:04.620
 get

00:28:04.620 --> 00:28:04.920
 there

00:28:04.920 --> 00:28:06.040
 I

00:28:06.040 --> 00:28:06.220
 should

00:28:06.220 --> 00:28:06.320
 have

00:28:06.320 --> 00:28:06.460
 thought

00:28:06.460 --> 00:28:06.640
 through

00:28:06.640 --> 00:28:06.820
 that

00:28:06.820 --> 00:28:07.040
 a little

00:28:07.040 --> 00:28:07.200
 bit

00:28:07.200 --> 00:28:07.480
 better

00:28:07.480 --> 00:28:08.320
 but I

00:28:08.320 --> 00:28:09.180
 didn't

00:28:09.180 --> 00:28:09.600
 all right

00:28:09.600 --> 00:28:10.960
 so we

00:28:10.960 --> 00:28:11.420
 get up

00:28:11.420 --> 00:28:11.860
 that morning

00:28:11.860 --> 00:28:12.200
 we get

00:28:12.200 --> 00:28:12.340
 some

00:28:12.340 --> 00:28:12.720
 breakfast

00:28:12.720 --> 00:28:13.180
 and we

00:28:13.180 --> 00:28:13.820
 head

00:28:13.820 --> 00:28:14.220
 out

00:28:14.220 --> 00:28:15.660
 and we

00:28:15.660 --> 00:28:16.140
 drive

00:28:16.140 --> 00:28:16.880
 through

00:28:16.880 --> 00:28:17.560
 the mountains

00:28:17.560 --> 00:28:17.860
 now

00:28:17.860 --> 00:28:18.860
 a couple

00:28:18.860 --> 00:28:19.460
 people may

00:28:19.460 --> 00:28:19.780
 or may

00:28:19.780 --> 00:28:20.160
 not have

00:28:20.160 --> 00:28:20.360
 gotten

00:28:20.360 --> 00:28:20.600
 a little

00:28:20.600 --> 00:28:21.140
 car sick

00:28:21.140 --> 00:28:21.520
 right

00:28:21.520 --> 00:28:23.300
 we were

00:28:23.300 --> 00:28:23.880
 stopped

00:28:23.880 --> 00:28:25.240
 several

00:28:25.240 --> 00:28:26.120
 times by

00:28:26.120 --> 00:28:26.740
 road

00:28:26.740 --> 00:28:27.400
 construction

00:28:27.400 --> 00:28:28.400
 crews

00:28:28.400 --> 00:28:30.500
 and at

00:28:30.500 --> 00:28:30.920
 least

00:28:30.920 --> 00:28:31.900
 five

00:28:31.900 --> 00:28:32.400
 times

00:28:32.400 --> 00:28:33.960
 I

00:28:33.960 --> 00:28:34.460
 almost

00:28:34.460 --> 00:28:34.720
 ran

00:28:34.720 --> 00:28:34.940
 off

00:28:34.940 --> 00:28:35.100
 the

00:28:35.100 --> 00:28:35.300
 road

00:28:35.300 --> 00:28:38.100
 for a

00:28:38.100 --> 00:28:38.260
 couple

00:28:38.260 --> 00:28:38.740
 reasons

00:28:38.740 --> 00:28:39.740
 number

00:28:39.740 --> 00:28:40.160
 one

00:28:40.160 --> 00:28:41.120
 it was

00:28:41.120 --> 00:28:41.640
 pretty

00:28:41.640 --> 00:28:42.320
 right

00:28:42.320 --> 00:28:42.700
 like

00:28:42.700 --> 00:28:44.200
 I

00:28:44.200 --> 00:28:44.400
 want

00:28:44.400 --> 00:28:45.000
 it's

00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:45.280
 weird

00:28:45.280 --> 00:28:45.500
 I

00:28:45.500 --> 00:28:45.640
 want

00:28:45.640 --> 00:28:45.800
 to be

00:28:45.800 --> 00:28:46.260
 controlled

00:28:46.260 --> 00:28:46.820
 and drive

00:28:46.820 --> 00:28:47.080
 but I

00:28:47.080 --> 00:28:47.280
 want to

00:28:47.280 --> 00:28:47.540
 look at

00:28:47.540 --> 00:28:47.780
 stuff

00:28:47.780 --> 00:28:48.020
 too

00:28:48.020 --> 00:28:48.300
 and it's

00:28:48.300 --> 00:28:48.640
 a bad

00:28:48.640 --> 00:28:49.200
 combination

00:28:49.200 --> 00:28:49.700
 so a

00:28:49.700 --> 00:28:49.840
 couple

00:28:49.840 --> 00:28:50.120
 times

00:28:50.120 --> 00:28:50.320
 was

00:28:50.320 --> 00:28:50.560
 that

00:28:50.560 --> 00:28:50.860
 but then

00:28:50.860 --> 00:28:50.980
 a

00:28:50.980 --> 00:28:51.140
 couple

00:28:51.140 --> 00:28:51.380
 times

00:28:51.380 --> 00:28:51.580
 I

00:28:51.580 --> 00:28:52.240
 realized

00:28:52.240 --> 00:28:52.540
 like

00:28:52.540 --> 00:28:52.980
 that

00:28:52.980 --> 00:28:53.460
 caution

00:28:53.460 --> 00:28:53.760
 take

00:28:53.760 --> 00:28:53.920
 this

00:28:53.920 --> 00:28:54.140
 turn

00:28:54.140 --> 00:28:54.260
 at

00:28:54.260 --> 00:28:54.560
 15

00:28:54.560 --> 00:28:54.840
 miles

00:28:54.840 --> 00:28:54.980
 an

00:28:54.980 --> 00:28:55.180
 hour

00:28:55.180 --> 00:28:55.580
 is

00:28:55.580 --> 00:28:55.800
 not

00:28:55.800 --> 00:28:55.940
 a

00:28:55.940 --> 00:28:56.540
 suggestion

00:28:56.540 --> 00:28:56.940
 right

00:28:56.940 --> 00:28:57.580
 like

00:28:57.580 --> 00:28:58.540
 it's

00:28:58.540 --> 00:28:58.720
 a

00:28:58.720 --> 00:28:58.980
 really

00:28:58.980 --> 00:28:59.300
 good

00:28:59.300 --> 00:28:59.860
 idea

00:28:59.860 --> 00:29:00.580
 do

00:29:00.580 --> 00:29:01.020
 that

00:29:02.940 --> 00:29:04.360

00:29:04.360 --> 00:29:05.060
 was terrible

00:29:05.060 --> 00:29:06.580
 it was

00:29:06.580 --> 00:29:07.560
 terrible

00:29:07.560 --> 00:29:08.800
 we're like

00:30:42.180 --> 00:30:42.440
 of

00:30:42.440 --> 00:30:42.660
 the

00:30:42.660 --> 00:30:43.060
 journey

00:30:43.060 --> 00:30:43.620
 through

00:30:43.620 --> 00:30:43.740
 the

00:30:43.740 --> 00:30:44.120
 mountains

00:30:44.120 --> 00:30:45.860

00:30:45.860 --> 00:30:45.980
 you're

00:30:45.980 --> 00:30:46.140
 like

00:30:46.140 --> 00:30:46.380
 Bo

00:30:46.380 --> 00:30:47.300

00:30:47.900 --> 00:30:48.080
 with

00:30:48.080 --> 00:30:48.280
 nothing

00:30:48.280 --> 00:30:48.480
 but

00:30:48.480 --> 00:30:48.920
 corn

00:30:48.920 --> 00:30:50.040
 would

00:30:50.040 --> 00:30:50.160
 be

00:30:50.160 --> 00:30:50.300
 a

00:30:50.300 --> 00:30:50.620
 breeze

00:30:50.620 --> 00:30:50.860
 right

00:30:50.860 --> 00:30:51.220
 now

00:30:51.220 --> 00:30:52.640
 and

00:30:58.380 --> 00:30:58.540
 feel like

00:30:58.540 --> 00:30:58.600
 we've

00:30:58.600 --> 00:30:58.800
 got a

00:30:58.800 --> 00:30:58.940
 little

00:30:58.940 --> 00:30:59.060
 bit

00:30:59.060 --> 00:30:59.180
 of

00:30:59.180 --> 00:30:59.720
 rest

00:30:59.720 --> 00:31:01.020

 another

00:31:03.900 --> 00:31:04.100
 one

00:31:04.100 --> 00:31:04.320
 might

00:31:04.320 --> 00:31:04.500
 not

00:31:04.500 --> 00:31:04.660
 be

00:31:30.400 --> 00:31:31.020
 perfect

00:31:31.020 --> 00:31:31.800

 complete

00:31:32.600 --> 00:31:33.920
 lacking

00:31:43.860 --> 00:31:44.360
 joy

00:31:44.360 --> 00:31:45.280
 or

00:31:45.280 --> 00:31:45.620
 fleeting

00:31:45.620 --> 00:31:46.200
 happiness

00:31:46.200 --> 00:31:47.820

00:31:49.420 --> 00:31:49.820
 goes

00:31:49.820 --> 00:31:50.100
 because

 it's

00:31:50.320 --> 00:31:50.640

00:31:52.880 --> 00:31:53.300
 moment

00:31:53.300 --> 00:31:54.300
 and

 we

00:31:54.500 --> 00:31:54.640
 as

00:31:59.520 --> 00:32:00.680
 moment

00:32:00.680 --> 00:32:01.180
 when

00:32:06.580 --> 00:32:06.780
 not

00:32:06.780 --> 00:32:07.260
 bad

00:32:07.260 --> 00:32:07.460
 for

00:32:07.460 --> 00:32:07.640
 a

00:32:08.500 --> 00:32:08.660
 it's

00:32:08.660 --> 00:32:08.840
 a

00:32:08.840 --> 00:32:09.100
 beauty

00:32:09.100 --> 00:32:09.340
 of

00:32:09.880 --> 00:32:10.220
 that

00:32:10.220 --> 00:32:10.500
 we

00:32:10.500 --> 00:32:10.740
 get

00:32:10.740 --> 00:32:10.920
 to

00:32:10.920 --> 00:32:11.340
 live

00:32:11.340 --> 00:32:11.640
 in

00:32:11.640 --> 00:32:11.980
 but

00:32:11.980 --> 00:32:12.300
 here's

00:32:12.300 --> 00:32:12.440
 the

00:32:12.440 --> 00:32:12.700
 thing

 it

00:32:13.100 --> 00:32:13.640
 comes

00:32:13.640 --> 00:32:14.180
 and

00:32:14.180 --> 00:32:14.320
 it

00:32:14.320 --> 00:32:14.840
 goes

00:32:14.840 --> 00:32:15.240
 because

00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:15.480
 it's

00:32:15.480 --> 00:32:16.080
 connected

00:32:16.080 --> 00:32:16.580
 to

00:32:16.580 --> 00:32:16.720
 an

00:32:16.720 --> 00:32:17.300

00:32:19.160 --> 00:32:19.700
 circumstance

00:32:19.700 --> 00:32:21.220
 but

 pure

00:32:21.560 --> 00:32:22.200
 joy

00:32:22.200 --> 00:32:24.220
 while

00:32:25.760 --> 00:32:26.560
 feeling

00:32:26.560 --> 00:32:27.860
 that

 say

00:34:18.920 --> 00:34:19.340
 well it

00:34:19.340 --> 00:34:19.460
 was

00:34:19.460 --> 00:34:19.820
 worth

00:34:19.820 --> 00:34:19.960
 it

00:34:19.960 --> 00:34:20.260
 wasn't

00:34:20.260 --> 00:34:20.460
 it

00:34:20.460 --> 00:34:21.620
 it

00:34:21.620 --> 00:34:21.760
 was

00:34:21.760 --> 00:34:22.160
 worth

00:34:22.160 --> 00:34:22.260
 it

00:34:22.260 --> 00:34:22.420
 because

00:34:22.420 --> 00:34:22.640
 look

00:34:22.640 --> 00:34:22.700
 at

00:34:22.700 --> 00:34:22.800
 what

00:34:22.800 --> 00:34:22.920
 it

00:34:22.920 --> 00:34:23.300
 brought

00:34:23.300 --> 00:34:23.580
 and

00:34:23.580 --> 00:34:23.760
 look

00:34:23.760 --> 00:34:23.820
 at

00:34:23.820 --> 00:34:23.940
 what

00:34:23.940 --> 00:34:24.200
 God

00:34:24.200 --> 00:34:24.620
 did

00:34:24.620 --> 00:34:24.920
 that

00:34:24.920 --> 00:34:25.020
 you

00:34:25.020 --> 00:34:25.420

00:34:26.320 --> 00:34:26.740
 flee

00:37:30.340 --> 00:37:31.780

00:37:31.780 --> 00:37:31.960
 we have

00:37:31.960 --> 00:37:32.340
 time

00:37:32.340 --> 00:37:32.680
 we could

00:37:32.680 --> 00:37:33.280
 go through

00:37:33.280 --> 00:37:34.040
 the story

00:37:37.260 --> 00:37:37.500
 don't know

00:37:37.500 --> 00:37:38.000
 about you

00:37:38.000 --> 00:37:38.240
 but

00:37:38.240 --> 00:37:40.020
 we've

00:37:40.020 --> 00:37:40.420
 all got

00:37:40.420 --> 00:37:40.800
 those

00:37:40.800 --> 00:37:41.160
 family

00:37:41.160 --> 00:37:41.520
 members

00:37:41.520 --> 00:37:41.860
 right

00:37:41.860 --> 00:37:42.600
 like I'm

00:37:42.600 --> 00:37:42.900
 not the

00:37:42.900 --> 00:37:43.100
 only

00:37:44.900 --> 00:37:45.160
 sometimes

00:37:45.160 --> 00:37:45.420
 I

00:37:45.420 --> 00:37:45.620
 think

00:37:45.620 --> 00:37:45.920
 that I

00:37:45.920 --> 00:37:46.160
 am

00:37:46.560 --> 00:37:46.700
 them

00:37:46.700 --> 00:37:46.980
 right

00:37:46.980 --> 00:37:49.140

00:37:49.140 --> 00:37:49.380
 people

00:37:49.380 --> 00:37:49.600

00:37:55.660 --> 00:37:57.240
 it's
