Yeah. 204 00:09:04.600 --> 00:09:07.279 So anyway, the point is I would I went down 205 00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:10.600 a year ago and I skipped Christmas and I did 206 00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:13.440 Christmas with the Cranks, and I did Disney and Universal 207 00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:17.639 with my family in Saint Pete with with with where where. 208 00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:18.120 My daughter lives. 209 00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:19.879 We only went down for a week. We only did 210 00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:23.000 Universal for a day, Disney for a day. But I 211 00:09:23.039 --> 00:09:23.759 got to tell you something. 212 00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:25.279 I loved it. 213 00:09:25.799 --> 00:09:30.039 Heaven, I love Disney. Yeah, I get it. I would 214 00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:32.200 rather have it be the other way.

Okay, yep, well that was fun. 231 00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:21.080 I think you got a couple of those answers right, Good. 232 00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:23.440 Job, Yeah, thanks, Jeff, appreciate it. 233 00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:24.120 Okay. 234 00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:24.440 Uh. 235 00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:27.840 Speaking of getting some things right, Solomon got a lot 236 00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:32.639 of things right with his why sayings. Ooh nice, why 237 00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:34.360 sayings is what he likes to call them. 238 00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:38.080 Yeah, and I would say that those are right right, Yeah, 239 00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:39.279 that's right. Yeah. 240 00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:43.960 Okay. So its in Proverbs chapter fourteen. We're continuing on 241 00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:47.919 this theme, just going through these one liner why statements, 242 00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:50.639 and he says, a wise woman builds her home, but 243 00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:52.919 a foolish woman tears it down with her own hands. 244 00:10:53.679 --> 00:10:56.279 Those who follow the right path fear the Lord. Those 245 00:10:56.279 --> 00:11:00.480 who take the wrong path despise him. A fool's talk 246 00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:02.799 becomes a rod that beats him. But the words of 247 00:11:02.840 --> 00:11:06.960 the wires keep them safe. Without oxen, a stable stays clean, 248 00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:10.480 but you need strong ox for a large harvest. An 249 00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:13.840 honest witness does not lie, A false witness breathes lies. 250 00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:17.440 A mocker seeks wisdom and never finds it. But knowledge 251 00:11:17.480 --> 00:11:21.320 comes easily to those with understanding. Stay away from fools, 252 00:11:21.360 --> 00:11:24.799 for you won't find knowledge in their lips. The prudent 253 00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:28.720 understand where they're going, but fools deceive themselves. Fools make 254 00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:31.879 fun of guilt, but the godly acknowledge it and seek reconciliation. 255 00:11:32.879 --> 00:11:35.360 Each heart knows its own bitterness, and no one else 256 00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:38.279 can fully share its joy. The house of the wicked 257 00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:41.440 will be destroyed, but the tent of the godly will flourish. 258 00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:44.360 There is a path before each person that seems right, 259 00:11:44.679 --> 00:11:48.399 but it ends in death. Laughter can conceal a heavy heart, 260 00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:52.679 but when the laughter ends, the grief remains. Backsliders get 261 00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:56.919 what they deserve. Good people receive their reward. Only simpletons 262 00:11:56.919 --> 00:11:59.960 believe everything they're told. The prudent carefully consider their steaf 263 00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:03.799 is he implying that not everything on the internet is true? 264 00:12:04.080 --> 00:12:05.159 Oh, my goodness. 265 00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:11.399 The wise are cautious and avoid danger. Fools plunge ahead 266 00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:17.039 with reckless confidence. Short tempered people do foolish things, and 267 00:12:17.080 --> 00:12:21.039 schemers are hated. Simpletons are clothed with foolishness, but the 268 00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:25.000 prudent are crowned with knowledge. Evil people will bow before 269 00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:27.240 good people. The wicked will bow at the gates of 270 00:12:27.240 --> 00:12:30.840 the godly. The poor are despised even by their neighbors, 271 00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:34.759 while the rich have many friends. Quote unquote, it is 272 00:12:34.799 --> 00:12:37.320 a sin to belittle one's neighbor. Blessed are those who 273 00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:40.039 help the poor. If you plan to do evil, you 274 00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:41.799 will be lost. If you plan to do good, you 275 00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:46.519 will receive unfailing love and faithfulness. Work brings profit, but 276 00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:49.600 mere talk leads to poverty. Wealth is a crown for 277 00:12:49.639 --> 00:12:53.879 the wise. The effort of fools yields only foolishness. A 278 00:12:53.919 --> 00:12:57.879 truthful witness saves lives lives, but a false witness is 279 00:12:57.919 --> 00:13:00.919 a traitor. Those who fear the Lord are secure. He 280 00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:03.480 will be a refuge for their children. Fear of the 281 00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:06.440 Lord is a life giving fountain. It offers escape from 282 00:13:06.440 --> 00:13:10.000 the snares of death. A growing population is a king's glory. 283 00:13:10.159 --> 00:13:14.159 A prince without subjects has nothing. People with understanding control 284 00:13:14.240 --> 00:13:18.200 their anger. A hot temper shows great foolishness. A peaceful 285 00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:21.200 heart leads to a healthy body. Jealousy is like cancer 286 00:13:21.200 --> 00:13:24.919 in the bones. I love that one. Those who oppress 287 00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:28.759 the poor insalt their maker, but helping the poor honors him. 288 00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:31.679 The wicked are crushed by disaster, but the godly have 289 00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:35.000 a refuge when they die. Wisdom is enshrined in an 290 00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:39.519 understanding heart. Wisdom is not found among fools. Godliness makes 291 00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:43.080 a nation great, but sin is a disgrace to any people. 292 00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:46.240 A king rejoices in wise servants, but is angry with 293 00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:47.320 those who disgrace him. 294 00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:52.799 There you go, there you go. Yeah, so thirty five 295 00:13:53.000 --> 00:13:57.039 verses of nuggets of wisdom. 296 00:13:57.279 --> 00:13:59.919 I like to call them wise sayings. That's what they 297 00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:01.759 they're they're wise wise sayings. 298 00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:03.919 Yeah, good job, Jeff, that's that's accurate. 299 00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:08.360 Hey guy, let me write this down to Yeah, why 300 00:14:08.600 --> 00:14:09.600 w I s? 301 00:14:10.120 --> 00:14:14.120 I slow down, professor. 302 00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:24.360 So when you said in verse number fifteen, only simpletons 303 00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:26.919 believe everything they're told, and you said, are they saying 304 00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:28.639 everything on the internet, it's not true. 305 00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:32.440 I was going to say, or CNN.

It's it's so funny, how it's 307 00:14:36.600 --> 00:14:37.080 so funny. 308 00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:40.639 How my father, who is eighty he was born in 309 00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:44.000 thirty nine, so he's eighty five, right, And I was 310 00:14:44.039 --> 00:14:46.559 trying to tell him, uh, and again I wasn't trying 311 00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:48.200 to get political at all. Right, I wasn't trying. I 312 00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:50.759 was trying to avoid that whole you know, everything else. 313 00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:53.759 I was just simply trying to tell him that it's 314 00:14:53.759 --> 00:14:59.799 interesting how I've been you know, I've been to Cuba, right, 315 00:14:59.799 --> 00:15:03.240 i' I've been there four times, so, you know, I 316 00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:05.519 used to think that Cuba was so radically different than 317 00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:08.279 America and then and now I'm like, huh, I mean 318 00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:11.200 I know that obviously we're leap years away from uh, 319 00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:15.399 you know, Cuba, but I never thought that that people would, 320 00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:17.799 you know, just sort of control the information that they 321 00:15:17.840 --> 00:15:20.000 wanted to give to their people, which is exactly what 322 00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:22.799 you know, Castro was famous for doing, just controlling the 323 00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:25.559 information that came in. And I said, I do believe 324 00:15:25.600 --> 00:15:28.639 some of that. You know, I'm not a conspiracy theorist 325 00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:31.159 to the maximum degree, right, but I do believe that 326 00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:31.799 some of that happens. 327 00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:33.799 Right, You're talking about the just between the Cuban government 328 00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:35.960 the Cuban people.

So he said, you know, 385 00:17:54.880 --> 00:17:58.079 without teenagers, he said, everything would be you know, there's 386 00:17:58.119 --> 00:17:59.039 not butter stuck on. 387 00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:00.759 The ceiling from a gay right. 388 00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:03.359 He's you know, he says, you know, without without ox, 389 00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:06.039 and the crib is clean, right, he said, imagine in 390 00:18:06.079 --> 00:18:08.440 a farm, he said, you had no ox, he said, 391 00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:10.720 there'd be nothing to clean in the stall.
