Brother Jim: warehouse.

Brother Jim: And let everybody listen to us.

Brother Jim: And I am sure you'll be getting

Brother Jim: But hey, it's all good.

Brother Jim: We're grateful that you have come.

Brother Jim: You've made the choice to spend

Brother Jim: a little bit of time with us

Brother Jim: today.

Brother Jim: Now, the goal of Bible and

Brother Jim: prayer is always is actually

Brother Jim: very simple.

Brother Jim: Kind of again, I can't get around this one like, well, I

Brother Jim: gotta take that back.

Brother Jim: David just had a brilliant idea.

Brother Jim: Me I'm still, it's like he's walking and I'm still crawling.

Brother Jim: So but this is a cool idea, which hopefully you'll see

Brother Jim: coming down the road here.

Brother Jim: But anyway, we want to talk about God's Word, encourage one

Brother Jim: another in our faith.

Brother Jim: Share a few laughs and hopefully leave you a little lead.

Brother Jim: You, leave you whatever it takes.

Brother Jim: A little closer to Jesus than when you started listening to

Brother Jim: these two awesome dudes.

Brother Jim: Life can be hard.

Brother Jim: The world can be noisy, but

Brother Jim: God's truth remains the same, my

Brother Jim: friend.

Brother Jim: So grab your coffee, your tea,

Brother Jim: whatever that rocket fuel you'll

Brother Jim: need today.

Brother Jim: And I found this can of.

Brother Jim: I've never had it.

Brother Jim: Starry lemon lime.

David: I think it replaced the other one that they got rid of.

Brother Jim: But I heard the story.

David: So it's not bad.

Brother Jim: Yeah, it's not bad.

Brother Jim: It's not bad.

Brother Jim: Uh, and Brother Jim's trying to calm down his stomach here.

Brother Jim: And I will tell you the story here in just a few.

Brother Jim: So grab whatever you need this morning to fuel your body.

Brother Jim: Grab your Bible.

Brother Jim: Oh, yes.

Brother Jim: Grab your Bible.

Brother Jim: Buckle up.

Brother Jim: Hold on tight, and let's get ready to hit the road.

Brother Jim: Fast and furious because we're ready.

Brother Jim: Here we are.

Brother Jim: Ready now for another great day to start.

Brother Jim: This is Bible babes in prayer where faith is real, laughter is

Brother Jim: welcome, and Jesus is always the center of the conversation.

Brother Jim: So let's get started.

Brother Jim: Spend.

Brother Jim: Spend just a little bit of time with us this morning, laughing

Brother Jim: and learning and growing together in Christ.

Brother Jim: And you know what?

Brother Jim: We we all walk the same walk basically life very serious.

Brother Jim: Our time is stretched.

Brother Jim: We do things that we don't want to do, we're required to do.

Brother Jim: But you know what?

Brother Jim: We can make it through with a little faith, a little laughter,

Brother Jim: and a whole lot of grace.

Brother Jim: Now, folks, why was the math book sad at church?

David: I don't know why.

Brother Jim: It had too many problems.

Brother Jim: That was bad.

Brother Jim: That was bad.

Brother Jim: And hey, being a dad means

Brother Jim: spending the first two years

Brother Jim: teaching your child to walk and

Brother Jim: talk, and then the next sixteen

Brother Jim: telling them to sit down and be

Brother Jim: quiet.

Brother Jim: I like that that's accurate.

Brother Jim: Yes, yes, it's double joke Thursday just for you.

Brother Jim: So come on, friends, let's turn

Brother Jim: this in from a conversation into

Brother Jim: an experience.

Brother Jim: What a blessing.

Brother Jim: Now you got the whole barnyard here.

Brother Jim: And again, we're working on adding some and, uh, hopefully

Brother Jim: our barnyard grows.

Brother Jim: You know, now we've been telling little jokes here, and I don't

Brother Jim: want to leave out Happy Lynn.

Brother Jim: Not Grumpy Lynn.

Brother Jim: Happy Lynn.

Brother Jim: What did the gorilla say after finishing a huge meal?

Brother Jim: Now that's a peeling.

Brother Jim: That's all I could find for gorilla jokes, guys.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Sorry.

Brother Jim: Wow.

Brother Jim: That really sets the mood up.

Brother Jim: Uh, so in saying all that, good morning to you, our friends.

Brother Jim: Good morning world.

Brother Jim: Let's take a moment and thank God for another beautiful day.

Brother Jim: Another breath.

Brother Jim: The breath we have in our lungs and another opportunity to grow,

Brother Jim: learn and try again.

Brother Jim: And for me, I'll keep trying with the dad jokes There again,

Brother Jim: you Google gorilla jokes.

Brother Jim: There's not that many.

David: I imagine not.

Brother Jim: Yeah, because here on Bible and prayer, we do not just roll out

Brother Jim: of bed and survive the morning.

Brother Jim: Well, there are moments, but we started with gratitude.

Brother Jim: We started with good

Brother Jim: conversation and we started with

Brother Jim: positive energy and of course,

Brother Jim: some really bad jokes or

Brother Jim: questionable jokes.

Brother Jim: But that is what makes it fun.

Brother Jim: Now my co-host and partner in

Brother Jim: crime, my faithful co-host Mr.

Brother Jim: David Keener, is always with us

Brother Jim: as always, faithful because he

Brother Jim: keeps showing up and again, even

Brother Jim: knowing what he's getting

Brother Jim: himself into.

Brother Jim: Now, here's a new one for you.

Brother Jim: We are coming to you live from

Brother Jim: our world famous studio, which

Brother Jim: is really just a room in the

Brother Jim: basement.

Brother Jim: Two microphones and enough coffee.

Brother Jim: Well, Coke and.

Brother Jim: Sorry to keep you going.

Brother Jim: And again, with me is the only

Brother Jim: guy who thinks duct tape is a

Brother Jim: legitimate repair strategy for

Brother Jim: everything.

Brother Jim: And I oh, I agree with him

Brother Jim: tremendously on good old the

Brother Jim: uses.

Brother Jim: That would be a whole series right there.

Brother Jim: The uses of duct tape.

David: Mhm.

Brother Jim: Yes, yes.

Brother Jim: Please welcome my good friend and partner in podcasting crime,

Brother Jim: David, whose favorite line is those aren't pillows.

Brother Jim: Please welcome the one, the only Mr. David Keener.

Brother Jim: And he's not just a co-host.

Brother Jim: No, no, no, he is one of my best

Brother Jim: friends, my bestie bros for

Brother Jim: life.

Brother Jim: We need to get some bling for each.

David: Other.

Brother Jim: In the whole wide world.

Brother Jim: Mr. David Keener.

Brother Jim: Good morning sir.

David: Good morning.

David: How are we doing?

David: I don't know whether to laugh or

David: shake my head after the pillows

David: thing there.

Brother Jim: I was a little risque on that one.

Brother Jim: But dude, you can't get around that.

Brother Jim: That is just if you know what the movie is that that is bond.

David: Yes, yes.

Brother Jim: It's a little too much, right?

Brother Jim: Oh, see that bears game the other night?

Brother Jim: Yeah, yeah.

Brother Jim: Heck of a game.

Brother Jim: Heck of a game all the way this year.

David: Wonder if the ladies and gentlemen can comment if they

David: know what movie that's from.

Brother Jim: Yes. And it is a classic.

Brother Jim: It is, it is.

Brother Jim: And at the end, I am sorry.

Brother Jim: With this movie I still cry because when they play that

Brother Jim: song, when you see the certain someone all alone and they start

Brother Jim: playing every time you go away.

Brother Jim: Yep.

Brother Jim: Just get you right here.

Brother Jim: I don't care how tough you are.

David: That's right.

Brother Jim: Yes. What is going on in Carterville?

David: Not too much.

David: I was on this, uh, diabetes awareness website the other day,

David: and when I logged in, it asked if I accepted cookies.

David: And I thought to myself, is this a trick?

David: So.

Brother Jim: Yes, I'll take the cookies.

Brother Jim: Funny thing here, David.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Every once in a while, someone will leave me a treat.

David: Mhm.

Brother Jim: Usually a little bag of cookies or something.

Brother Jim: Now, some of the people that do it know that, hey, I only need a

Brother Jim: few instead of a whole dozen or two dozen, which really would be

Brother Jim: nice, but, you know, trying.

Brother Jim: And I am the first to admit a lot of times those do not make

Brother Jim: it home because I know what's going to happen.

Brother Jim: But Wednesday night, the wife and Ellie, our daughter, came up

Brother Jim: for Wednesday night service.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: And guess what?

Brother Jim: They seen the cookies on the desk before I did.

Brother Jim: Oh, and guess what?

Brother Jim: If I would have heard somebody say something.

Brother Jim: Them cookies I never would have known about.

Brother Jim: Mhm.

Brother Jim: Mhm.

Brother Jim: Something going on at Rockford Church?

Brother Jim: Yes.

David: Something is afoot.

Brother Jim: Something's afoot.

Brother Jim: Yes. Anything else going on, man?

David: No.

Brother Jim: You got big plans for the Fourth of July?

David: I do, well, you know, I was just

David: thinking the other the other

David: day.

David: You know how you go to the store, like Target and Walmart

David: where they sell fireworks?

David: They're not real.

Brother Jim: Fireworks.

Brother Jim: That's a.

David: Joke. They got that sign stuck

David: in front of the door that says,

David: please do not light these within

David: three hundred feet of the front

David: door.

David: Now I'm the non-confrontational kind of guy.

David: I don't look to start trouble, but if I was, I've thought many

David: times, man, how cool would it be to measure out three hundred and

David: one feet and then just light them up like the fourth of July?

Brother Jim: Put a nice little piece of white duct tape or yellow duct tape

Brother Jim: down and say, no, no, no. Measure it, folks.

Brother Jim: It's three hundred one.

Brother Jim: I know I see the no smoking due to fireworks in the building.

David: I saw a good one too.

David: They had the again, the same

David: fireworks setup and right in

David: front of it, sitting right at

David: the base of the display was a

David: fire extinguisher, a live fire

David: extinguisher.

David: And I'm thinking to myself, if this thing is going up, are you

David: really going to get that close to be able to grab that fire

David: extinguisher and put it out?

David: I mean, it's literally right there touching it.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: So how many people really know

Brother Jim: the correct way to use a fire

Brother Jim: extinguisher?

David: Probably not that many.

Brother Jim: And that is the thing.

Brother Jim: And I went, well, you know what?

Brother Jim: We will celebrate fire safety in, uh, October, isn't it?

Brother Jim: Yes.

Brother Jim: First week of October, and we'll go over that a little bit.

Brother Jim: Maybe I've got a couple extra cans.

David: We can do a demonstration.

Brother Jim: Yes. Yes. Pass. Pass the acronym.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: That would be a good one because everyone says, oh, I know how to

Brother Jim: do it until the time hits.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Apparently you didn't know how to do it because your face is

Brother Jim: now covered in white stuff.

Brother Jim: Yes.

Brother Jim: Yes.

Brother Jim: Either that or you've been in the powdered donuts way too much

Brother Jim: and you got a problem, so.

Brother Jim: But, uh.

Brother Jim: Anything else?

Brother Jim: Oh, yeah.

Brother Jim: Fourth of July.

David: Yeah. I don't know of any official plans that I have.

David: Uh, but, uh, you know, we

David: usually try and watch the

David: fireworks, but it depends on the

David: kid's mood.

David: Sometimes they want to go see him, sometimes they don't.

David: So we'll just kind of play it by ear.

Brother Jim: Fireworks. And I feel bad.

Brother Jim: There's another thing.

Brother Jim: Just talking about the last Tuesday's message.

Brother Jim: We're going fireworks this year.

Brother Jim: And I told Ellie, I've got like

Brother Jim: four totes filled with

Brother Jim: fireworks.

Brother Jim: I need to set them off so I can go buy new ones, you know?

Brother Jim: Yes, but I will say this, the

Brother Jim: mortars you buy, like you go up

Brother Jim: to prism.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Or Phantom dude, they are awesome.

Brother Jim: They're not as coarse, as big as the pros.

Brother Jim: But by golly, for home entertainment purposes.

David: You know, you've got fireworks.

David: I've got cameras and a drone.

David: We could put up a pretty good

David: fireworks show, set it to some

David: music.

Brother Jim: Credit card two.

David: I've got one too.

Brother Jim: Just kidding folks.

Brother Jim: Just kidding.

Brother Jim: Oh my goodness.

Brother Jim: I can see the phone ringing up.

David: Oh boy oh boy yeah.

Brother Jim: Brother Jim's going to go buy fireworks with our money.

Brother Jim: No no no guys I'm kidding, I'm kidding.

Brother Jim: No, I do take my fireworks serious though.

Brother Jim: I am a semi professional.

Brother Jim: Yes, that would be one of my ideal jobs.

Brother Jim: Top five jobs that falls in top five of being a pyro.

David: That'd be a great retirement job, wouldn't it?

Brother Jim: Oh, dude.

Brother Jim: Oh, man.

Brother Jim: Just sitting there.

Brother Jim: Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: And it's the smell, brother.

Brother Jim: It's the smell that gives me that gunpowder.

Brother Jim: Uh, black powder.

Brother Jim: I probably shouldn't say gunpowder on the show.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Get us edited or, you know, kicked off.

Brother Jim: But black powder.

Brother Jim: Funny story, my friends.

Brother Jim: Now, if you get an opportunity,

Brother Jim: check out his abilities on our

Brother Jim: rocks.

Brother Jim: Well, I think it has its own separate.

David: Yeah. I mean, you can get to it from the the church page, but

David: yeah, there is a his ability.

Brother Jim: It is a great opportunity.

Brother Jim: It is, uh, around it involves helping our, uh, special needs.

Brother Jim: And I hate to use that word.

Brother Jim: And we've got a great group of young people that come out.

Brother Jim: We do it every other Friday night.

Brother Jim: And, uh, I was going to wear the outfit, but it was pretty nasty

Brother Jim: by the time I got done.

Brother Jim: We started a four month series on wrestling with God.

Brother Jim: Now, a lot of these young

Brother Jim: people, young adults, they love

Brother Jim: pro wrestling.

Brother Jim: I became the Nacho man, okay?

Brother Jim: And I've got Senor Salsa.

Brother Jim: And then we got the dumpster divers who never take a bath.

Brother Jim: They were kind of like our nemesis.

Brother Jim: But again, great group of guys.

Brother Jim: And we've had so much fun with this.

Brother Jim: But this past Friday night was our finale for that series.

Brother Jim: And of course they had a social or ice cream social afterwards.

Brother Jim: So in my quick, probably not smart thinking, putting it all

Brother Jim: together, of course, twenty minutes before we start, you

Brother Jim: know, that's when I do my best.

Brother Jim: I told the ladies in the

Brother Jim: kitchen, you got all this ice

Brother Jim: cream stuff and I always promote

Brother Jim: nacho cheese.

Brother Jim: Since I'm the nacho man.

Brother Jim: Nacho cheese goes with everything.

Brother Jim: I asked the the group, I said, hey, you know how Nacho Man

Brother Jim: starts out his day?

Brother Jim: He starts out with his Lucky Charms.

Brother Jim: And guess what?

Brother Jim: It ain't melt going on.

Brother Jim: There it is nacho cheese, which

Brother Jim: just got groans and boos and

Brother Jim: everything.

Brother Jim: I really ham it up.

Brother Jim: But anyway, uh, right before the show started and it was a show.

Brother Jim: It was a performance, let me tell you that.

Brother Jim: I told, uh, Gabi and Beth in the kitchen.

Brother Jim: I said, I need a bowl of ice cream topped with nacho cheese,

Brother Jim: salsa, and all the toppings.

Brother Jim: Now, of course, that just sounds hideous.

Brother Jim: Let me tell you something, folks.

Brother Jim: It tasted hideous, too.

Brother Jim: So when we got the finale, I

Brother Jim: said, oh, they brought it out to

Brother Jim: me.

Brother Jim: Now, the sad thing is we didn't have any nacho cheese.

Brother Jim: And I love nacho cheese.

Brother Jim: Who doesn't?

Brother Jim: You like nacho cheese, David?

David: Absolutely.

Brother Jim: Oh, yes.

Brother Jim: All they could find was some

Brother Jim: questionable cheese slices in

Brother Jim: the fridge over at our life

Brother Jim: center.

Brother Jim: I'm like, just melt them up.

Brother Jim: It'll be fine.

Brother Jim: Now they're.

Brother Jim: My mouth spoke before I really thought about this.

Brother Jim: You know those cheese slices, my

Brother Jim: friends, they could last thirty

Brother Jim: years.

Brother Jim: She brings out this Barbie.

Brother Jim: Miss Barbie brings out this concoction of half melted cheese

Brother Jim: on ice cream with salsa, gummy bears, bananas, chocolate syrup,

Brother Jim: caramel syrup, all kinds of candies, M&Ms, you name it.

Brother Jim: And I'm I'm like a Billy goat.

Brother Jim: I can pretty much eat anything except liver and onions.

Brother Jim: But I started coaxing the crowd.

Brother Jim: You know, they're all getting grossed out.

Brother Jim: And I took the first bite, David.

Brother Jim: And I was like, oh my goodness, what have I done?

Brother Jim: I've created a monster.

Brother Jim: Now I can't back out, right?

Brother Jim: I gotta go through this.

Brother Jim: So I get the first spoon down and I turn my back.

Brother Jim: Turn around, take another big bite of it, and then I go out

Brother Jim: through the crowd.

Brother Jim: You want a bite?

Brother Jim: You want a bite?

Brother Jim: And of course.

Brother Jim: Oh, no, no. I went for the third bite, my friends.

Brother Jim: And let's just say it was a struggle because it started to

Brother Jim: come back up.

Brother Jim: And I told David here before we

Brother Jim: started, I said, I wish I would

Brother Jim: have taken a picture of the

Brother Jim: bowl.

Brother Jim: Now, Brother Jim usually does not leave something on his plate

Brother Jim: or bowl, but in this case, that boy, that boy got pitched.

Brother Jim: But David the cheese was just

Brother Jim: still laying there on the ice

Brother Jim: cream.

Brother Jim: And the funny thing was, folks,

Brother Jim: and as you know, I like to talk

Brother Jim: a lot.

Brother Jim: That cheese was so nasty.

Brother Jim: It got stuck up here on both sides.

Brother Jim: And I'm trying to continue

Brother Jim: talking with part of the skit

Brother Jim: while dealing with this cheese

Brother Jim: invasion.

Brother Jim: And I'm using cheese term very lightly.

Brother Jim: So. So right now, if I have to run out of the room, you'll know

Brother Jim: why to find a garbage can.

Brother Jim: Because the stomach is still rumbling and grumbling.

Brother Jim: What I put into it.

Brother Jim: So in saying all that, good morning, my friends.

Brother Jim: So tell us how life has been treating you.

Brother Jim: Let us know.

Brother Jim: We'd love to hear.

Brother Jim: Has anybody ever tried nacho cheese salsa on ice cream?

Brother Jim: That is an interesting question there.

Brother Jim: You gotta let me know if you have.

Brother Jim: Now if you do so, choose to try that.

Brother Jim: Not my fault, guys.

Brother Jim: I've warned you.

Brother Jim: Not very tasty.

Brother Jim: How about you?

Brother Jim: What you got going on?

Brother Jim: What's your plans for the weekend?

Brother Jim: How about the fourth of July?

Brother Jim: Because it's going to be here before we know it.

Brother Jim: Let us know.

Brother Jim: What's your favorite firecracker?

Brother Jim: David, do you remember the

Brother Jim: little black snakes you started

Brother Jim: out with?

David: Oh, yeah.

Brother Jim: Those little black pills.

Brother Jim: You let them go and then you made your way up to sparklers.

Brother Jim: Yes.

Brother Jim: And then.

Brother Jim: Oh, the pops.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: You gotta have the pops.

Brother Jim: Yeah, those were great.

Brother Jim: You know, I still love the pops.

David: Oh, yeah.

Brother Jim: Especially, you know, you always find that one that didn't go off

Brother Jim: and you step on, stomp on it three days, three days later and

Brother Jim: pop ticker can't take that.

Brother Jim: Never mind not going there.

Brother Jim: But yeah.

Brother Jim: And then you make your way up to

Brother Jim: firecrackers, bottle, uh, bottle

Brother Jim: rockets.

Brother Jim: And then one day, when you're

Brother Jim: old enough, you make it to the

Brother Jim: good stuff.

Brother Jim: The good stuff.

Brother Jim: Yes.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: So let us know.

Brother Jim: Are you into that?

Brother Jim: Do you like to go watch the fireworks?

Brother Jim: Which one's got the best display going on in our area?

Brother Jim: How about our other countries?

Brother Jim: What do you got going on?

Brother Jim: I know you know, Fourth of July American holiday, but I know you

Brother Jim: all got holidays to let us know what you guys do.

Brother Jim: Do you get wild and crazy like us Americans?

Brother Jim: You know, we like to blow stuff up, shoot our guns.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: David, the one time we had a little New Year's Eve party.

Brother Jim: I went out on the front porch

Brother Jim: and no people I was not

Brother Jim: drinking.

Brother Jim: and I had on a good shirt.

Brother Jim: Right.

Brother Jim: For the party.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: I thought, oh, it's midnight.

Brother Jim: I'll launch some bottle rockets.

Brother Jim: Wouldn't you know, that bad boy burned so bad it threw, uh,

Brother Jim: threw it right back in my shirt.

Brother Jim: And I had a hole in my shirt.

Brother Jim: It was starting to burn the skin.

Brother Jim: I'm like, seriously?

Brother Jim: Come on.

Brother Jim: So we encourage safety.

David: Yes.

Brother Jim: Safe fireworks.

Brother Jim: And don't be like Brother Jim.

Brother Jim: And hold your Roman candles in your bottle.

Brother Jim: Bottle rockets in your hand and let them go.

Brother Jim: Come to think of it, David,

Brother Jim: that's what I did with the

Brother Jim: bottle rocket.

Brother Jim: The bird.

David: Oh, jeez.

Brother Jim: Don't do that, kids.

Brother Jim: Peg. Abraham, if you're listening, I don't want to hear

Brother Jim: about you burning your fingers by holding a bottle rocket.

David: I suspect Peg's probably got more common sense than than than

David: we do combined.

Brother Jim: So do I. Yes. We love you, Peg.

Brother Jim: All right.

Brother Jim: Wow.

Brother Jim: I don't know how we got way off

Brother Jim: of that, but come on, let us

Brother Jim: know.

Brother Jim: We'd love to hear from you guys what you got going on barbecues.

Brother Jim: And, uh oh, by the way, David Applebee's has got that endless

Brother Jim: riblet thing going on.

David: Oh, yeah.

Brother Jim: Yeah, a lot of work for a little meat.

Brother Jim: Kind of like crab legs and their much.

Brother Jim: The riblets aren't as good as crab.

David: Some of those things are more about quantity over quality, and

David: that's probably what you're getting there, I'm guessing.

Brother Jim: Well, they load you up with the fries and a little thing of

Brother Jim: coleslaw, which Applebee's.

Brother Jim: You got good coleslaw going on, but they always bring out that

Brother Jim: first nice size.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: And then when you reorder, it

Brother Jim: keeps getting smaller and

Brother Jim: smaller.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: And you know, so yeah, but uh, not bad.

Brother Jim: But so if you're looking for endless shrimp.

David: At red lobsters, got the endless

David: shrimp right going on too, don't

David: they?

David: Yeah.

David: They do.

David: At least they did.

David: Uh, about a month ago I was there and they had it.

Brother Jim: Okay, okay, look at this.

Brother Jim: These tips you're getting from us, you know?

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Yes.

Brother Jim: Let us know too.

Brother Jim: Any favorite restaurants?

Brother Jim: I up at Akron Zoo, we were going

Brother Jim: home and there was like Bob's

Brother Jim: Burger.

Brother Jim: David established in nineteen thirty six.

Brother Jim: Rundown place.

Brother Jim: I told Kerry, I guarantee that is a good cheeseburger.

David: No doubt.

Brother Jim: Oh yeah.

Brother Jim: I mean, little run down hole in the wall.

Brother Jim: But baby it looked.

Brother Jim: You could just tell.

Brother Jim: I could, I could feel the fat

Brother Jim: oozing out and calling to my

Brother Jim: senses.

Brother Jim: Uh, but you know what?

Brother Jim: Weekends come and go.

Brother Jim: But God's goodness does not take a day off.

Brother Jim: Alrighty.

Brother Jim: The big question.

Brother Jim: The week has almost come to an end.

Brother Jim: So what have you done?

Brother Jim: What have you done to make a difference in God's kingdom?

Brother Jim: Because we should all be making

Brother Jim: a difference, not just what

Brother Jim: we've accomplished, as we say

Brother Jim: every week.

Brother Jim: Not just what you survived, which, hey, glad you survived,

Brother Jim: but how did you shine for Jesus in the middle of it?

Brother Jim: Were you a light?

Brother Jim: Were you the candle shining or was your wick out?

Brother Jim: So you got the weekend.

Brother Jim: It's coming up.

Brother Jim: You got an opportunity.

Brother Jim: Take a breath.

Brother Jim: Take a big breath.

Brother Jim: Come on.

Brother Jim: Ah!

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Stretch.

Brother Jim: Oh, I can't stretch today.

Brother Jim: Part of that skit.

Brother Jim: Today we skipped out my friends.

Brother Jim: And if you wanted to see

Brother Jim: something comical, seeing this

Brother Jim: guy trying to skip out with

Brother Jim: three other dudes was not

Brother Jim: pretty.

Brother Jim: My friends was not pretty.

Brother Jim: But you know what?

Brother Jim: Crack a smile because now it's time to saddle up.

Brother Jim: I've got the wrong hat on David Bigfoot two.

Brother Jim: I wanna be a cowboy.

Brother Jim: Yes.

David: Is it on right?

Brother Jim: Yeah. Thanks. Yeah. It's on.

Brother Jim: Right.

Brother Jim: You're gonna have to start checking every Sunday if you go

Brother Jim: back, what, three episodes ago?

David: Something like that.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Brother Jim in the second, I think three Thursdays ago.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: I had my hat on backwards.

Brother Jim: My cowboy hat, and three quarters away.

Brother Jim: I look at myself and I'm like, what is wrong?

Brother Jim: I mean, you go from this to howdy, partner.

David: I forgot how messed up it was.

Brother Jim: Oh, it was messed up.

Brother Jim: Well, we got a brand new weekend trail together.

Brother Jim: You can do this.

Brother Jim: You're almost there.

Brother Jim: God's carried you through the week.

Brother Jim: And now guess what?

Brother Jim: He's still not done with you.

Brother Jim: So step up, saddle in.

Brother Jim: Get your saddle ready.

Brother Jim: Step into this weekend with joy, with laughter, and keep.

Brother Jim: Know this, my friends, that God still has purpose for you even

Brother Jim: on your days off.

Brother Jim: Now.

Brother Jim: Hey folks, have you ever had deja vu?

Brother Jim: Hey folks, have you ever had deja vu?

Brother Jim: Ah, yeah.

Brother Jim: Come on.

Brother Jim: It was a little bit funny.

Brother Jim: Today's thought.

Brother Jim: A godly father is one of God's greatest gifts to a family.

Brother Jim: His legacy is measured not by what he leaves behind, but what,

Brother Jim: but by the faith.

Brother Jim: The faith he leaves within.

Brother Jim: Now.

Brother Jim: Last Tuesday, we start talking about daddy's day, even though

Brother Jim: we're a week behind.

Brother Jim: Father's day was last Sunday.

Brother Jim: Let me ask you something, my friends.

Brother Jim: I'll ask you, David.

Brother Jim: First off, friends, why are daddy's so important?

Brother Jim: David.

Brother Jim: For you.

Brother Jim: Why was your.

Brother Jim: Why is your dad so important?

David: Well, my dad's important to me because first of all, he was a

David: spiritual head of our family.

David: Okay.

David: One, he set a good fatherly example of of how to, you know,

David: work hard, but also play hard.

David: And he's always there for me when I need him.

Brother Jim: There you.

David: Go.

Brother Jim: Good answer, good answer.

David: I will accept payments later.

David: Dad. Just kidding.

Brother Jim: Yes. Yes. Yeah. His dad's awesome.

Brother Jim: He is a quiet man.

David: He's a very quiet man.

David: But when he speaks, it's usually hilarious.

Brother Jim: Okay. Yes. And I've got to.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: There's some humor with him.

Brother Jim: Mhm.

Brother Jim: And of course, he has his wife,

Brother Jim: the Leinster, who does most of

Brother Jim: the talking.

Brother Jim: I said it, Lynn, I said it.

Brother Jim: We'll see if you're listening or not.

Brother Jim: But again, why are daddy's so important.

Brother Jim: You know what, number one,

Brother Jim: daddy's fathers are important

Brother Jim: because God designed them to

Brother Jim: play a unique role in the

Brother Jim: family.

Brother Jim: While every family is different

Brother Jim: and many children are lovingly

Brother Jim: raised by mothers, grandparents,

Brother Jim: or other caregivers, especially

Brother Jim: in our day and age today, a

Brother Jim: loving.

Brother Jim: Oh, and David hit on the engaged father can have a huge, Huge

Brother Jim: impact on a child's life.

Brother Jim: Now reasons why a father matters so much.

Brother Jim: Father provides love.

Brother Jim: He provides security.

Brother Jim: And as we talked, children need to know they are loved.

Brother Jim: A father's hug, his encouragement, his present helps

Brother Jim: a child feel safe.

Brother Jim: And it's a messed up, screwed up world.

Brother Jim: I mean, let's be honest, sending your kid to school.

Brother Jim: There is a worry and I know we shouldn't worry because that

Brother Jim: comes from Satan.

Brother Jim: But there is always concern for you, David.

David: Absolutely. Yes. Yep.

Brother Jim: Who in their mind goes into a school and shoots up a school?

Brother Jim: Now it's been going on.

Brother Jim: I remember Columbine back in the day.

Brother Jim: What has happened to our appreciation for life?

Brother Jim: MM mm.

Brother Jim: Let's look at our country, folks.

Brother Jim: Let's just start right there.

Brother Jim: I don't care if you like it or not.

Brother Jim: How many children do we murder every day?

Brother Jim: And I think I brought that up a

Brother Jim: while back here, David, with the

Brother Jim: stats alarming.

Brother Jim: So right off the bat, these children don't even have a

Brother Jim: chance because of selfishness.

Brother Jim: Oh, brother Jim, you shouldn't say that.

Brother Jim: Yeah, I'm going to say it.

Brother Jim: I'm going to say this.

Brother Jim: David can edit me later.

Brother Jim: You know, what are we keeping teaching our young men to keep

Brother Jim: it in their pants?

Brother Jim: And are we teaching our young women to keep their legs closed,

Brother Jim: to understand the beauty of what God has given us between a man

Brother Jim: and a woman?

Brother Jim: Husband, wife?

Brother Jim: MM. I don't really care if you like it or not.

Brother Jim: It's the truth.

Brother Jim: And we look at our society today

Brother Jim: and we see what we promote sex

Brother Jim: everywhere.

Brother Jim: Right, David?

Brother Jim: Open relationships, open marriages.

Brother Jim: Dude, can you imagine if your wife came home and said, I want

Brother Jim: to be in an open relationship.

Brother Jim: Hello?

Brother Jim: Really?

Brother Jim: Now I'm gathering.

Brother Jim: We're all adults listening in.

Brother Jim: Think about it.

Brother Jim: But that is what's going on.

Brother Jim: Uh. Everything is reversed now.

Brother Jim: What's right is wrong, and what's wrong is right.

Brother Jim: Riddle me that one, America.

Brother Jim: But again, getting back to the security for our children.

Brother Jim: And I'm sorry, I'm going to say,

Brother Jim: Dave, you're probably gonna have

Brother Jim: to edit the whole program when

Brother Jim: you can't even send your kid

Brother Jim: into a restroom because you got

Brother Jim: some.

Brother Jim: Oh, I'm a girl today.

Brother Jim: And you go in to a women's

Brother Jim: restroom where your daughter is

Brother Jim: in there.

Brother Jim: I'm sorry.

Brother Jim: No, uh, uh, that is messed up.

Brother Jim: Because, again, what can that man or woman do to a child?

Brother Jim: True.

Brother Jim: Come on now.

Brother Jim: How does a man protect.

Brother Jim: How does a father protect his child in today's age?

Brother Jim: In our society today?

Brother Jim: Ponder that one, my friends.

Brother Jim: When children know what dad is

Brother Jim: there, they often face life's

Brother Jim: challenges with greater

Brother Jim: confidence.

Brother Jim: That's what a father does.

Brother Jim: That's what a godly father does.

Brother Jim: He ensures confidence, wisdom,

Brother Jim: love through his actions,

Brother Jim: through his teachings, through

Brother Jim: his words.

Brother Jim: A father's arms are often a child's first place of safety.

Brother Jim: And being a father, being a padre, I darn well know that

Brother Jim: fathers teach by examples and we discuss this again.

Brother Jim: Children watch far more than they listen.

Brother Jim: And that is so true.

Brother Jim: They learn honesty by watching dad tell the truth.

Brother Jim: They learn kindness by watching dad treat others with respect.

Brother Jim: Another word that we have so

Brother Jim: lost in today's society, in our

Brother Jim: country today.

Brother Jim: Respect.

Brother Jim: We'll get on that one.

Brother Jim: That would be another great one to bring up later on.

Brother Jim: David, for another show.

Brother Jim: Respect talked about it on a Wednesday night.

Brother Jim: Actually, they learn perseverance by watching dad

Brother Jim: keep going when life is hard.

Brother Jim: Let's be honest.

Brother Jim: Do we tell our children life is hard?

Brother Jim: Oh no. It's rainbows and unicorns.

Brother Jim: Kids.

Brother Jim: Yeah, that's what our worlds tell us.

Brother Jim: No, life is hard.

Brother Jim: Life will kick you right in the backside.

Brother Jim: And it don't care.

Brother Jim: How many times have you been kicked.

Brother Jim: Did anybody say, oh, I'm sorry.

Brother Jim: Does the boss really care what's going on with you?

Brother Jim: Sometimes there are good bosses.

Brother Jim: Sure there are.

Brother Jim: There's good and bad everywhere.

Brother Jim: But again, how many of us can

Brother Jim: say we are just a number one,

Brother Jim: three.

Brother Jim: Six.

Brother Jim: Nine one four?

Brother Jim: That was my ID number at Nationwide Insurance.

Brother Jim: I'll never forget that number one three six nine one four.

Brother Jim: Hey Jim, we're closing your building.

Brother Jim: Sorry.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: How many times has that happened in America?

Brother Jim: And then it falls to the father.

Brother Jim: What am I going to do, David?

Brother Jim: How am I going to pay the mortgage?

Brother Jim: How am I going to feed my kids?

Brother Jim: How am I going to do this?

Brother Jim: How am I going to do that?

Brother Jim: And again, I get it.

Brother Jim: Our economy, everything through throughout is up and down.

Brother Jim: But again, the pressure on a father.

Brother Jim: So again, how does a man handle

Brother Jim: pressure when tough life gets

Brother Jim: tough?

Brother Jim: Number three, father helps build character.

Brother Jim: There's another word.

Brother Jim: David.

Brother Jim: Character who?

Brother Jim: What is character?

Brother Jim: Brother Jim, we all have our opinions, right?

Brother Jim: But what.

Brother Jim: How do you define character, my friends?

Brother Jim: How do you define a godly father's character?

Brother Jim: A good father teaches responsibility.

Brother Jim: They teach truth.

Brother Jim: They teach that hard work matters.

Brother Jim: You give your word, you show up and you do your job.

Brother Jim: And again, are we teaching our children your word matters.

Brother Jim: I'm old school.

Brother Jim: I try to be.

Brother Jim: Handshake.

Brother Jim: Look you in the eye.

Brother Jim: Shake your hand.

Brother Jim: Yeah, I'll be there.

Brother Jim: I'll be there.

Brother Jim: Are we teaching that respect matters?

Brother Jim: Their faith matters.

Brother Jim: Oh, there you go.

Brother Jim: Their faith matters.

Brother Jim: Characters built one day at a time through everyday examples.

Brother Jim: But let me ask you something again.

Brother Jim: What about your faith?

Brother Jim: Are you teaching faith to your kids?

Brother Jim: Do you even have fathers?

Brother Jim: Do you even men?

Brother Jim: Do you even have an example of that in your own life?

Brother Jim: It's the cycle that never gets broken.

Brother Jim: True.

Brother Jim: David.

Brother Jim: Yeah, an endless cycle.

Brother Jim: Because grandpa never taught dad.

Brother Jim: Dad never taught me.

Brother Jim: How do I know what to teach my kids?

Brother Jim: A father encourages and believes every child needs someone who

Brother Jim: says, I believe in you.

Brother Jim: You can do this, son.

Brother Jim: You can do this, daughter.

Brother Jim: And you know what?

Brother Jim: No matter what, I'm still proud of you and I love you.

Brother Jim: One of the greatest compliments

Brother Jim: I got as a father was our third

Brother Jim: daughter, Kelsey.

Brother Jim: She said to her teammates.

Brother Jim: She's like, you know what?

Brother Jim: My dad don't pull any.

Brother Jim: I'm trying to think of the politically correct term.

David: Pull any punches.

Brother Jim: Don't pull any punches.

Brother Jim: Thank you.

Brother Jim: David.

Brother Jim: They're playing sports.

Brother Jim: I'll tell them straight up.

Brother Jim: You were horrible.

Brother Jim: What were you thinking?

Brother Jim: But then you follow up with that, and I love this.

Brother Jim: He tells me what I did right.

Brother Jim: He tells me what I did wrong.

Brother Jim: He tells me how I need to improve, and he always ends.

Brother Jim: I'm still proud of you and I still love you.

Brother Jim: MM. Now, I just broke that child down a little bit, didn't I?

Brother Jim: What you did right, what you did wrong, how you need to improve.

Brother Jim: But I'm still proud of you.

Brother Jim: And I still love you.

Brother Jim: But I'm not going to say.

Brother Jim: Oh, David, you did such a good job, right?

Brother Jim: Oh, here's your trophy.

Brother Jim: That's what's killing us today, my friends.

Brother Jim: Everybody gets a trophy.

Brother Jim: What happened to hard work?

Brother Jim: Having your butt out there, practicing, taking line drives.

Brother Jim: If you're playing baseball, working in the gym, in the off

Brother Jim: season, building muscles running, getting out there,

Brother Jim: hitting the books.

Brother Jim: You can do this.

Brother Jim: I'm proud of you, I love you.

Brother Jim: Those simple words often stay

Brother Jim: with children so much in their

Brother Jim: lives.

Brother Jim: And here we're coming back.

Brother Jim: A father protects protection

Brother Jim: isn't only about physical

Brother Jim: safety.

Brother Jim: A good father protects his

Brother Jim: family emotionally, spiritually,

Brother Jim: and morally.

Brother Jim: A father, a good father, a godly father helps guide his children

Brother Jim: away from harmful influences and towards wise decisions.

Brother Jim: Now look around, David, my friend.

Brother Jim: You're a daddy and I am sure I

Brother Jim: know you're going to agree with

Brother Jim: me.

Brother Jim: Are there not harmful influences out in the world today in our

Brother Jim: very little Tusk County?

David: One hundred percent.

Brother Jim: One hundred percent.

Brother Jim: Ding ding ding.

Brother Jim: We got a winner.

Brother Jim: Where do you turn to the TV?

Brother Jim: Hoots music hoots.

Brother Jim: Social media hoots.

Brother Jim: Where do you turn?

Brother Jim: What is influencing your child,

Brother Jim: your grandchild, your great

Brother Jim: grandchild, your neighbor's kid

Brother Jim: today?

Brother Jim: Because here's the thing I talked about last Sunday.

Brother Jim: Whether you want it or not,

Brother Jim: someone is always influencing

Brother Jim: your child.

Brother Jim: So are you part of the problem or are you part of the solution?

Brother Jim: And again, wise decisions, wise decisions.

Brother Jim: Fathers teach about God.

Brother Jim: Oh, here we go.

Brother Jim: One of the greatest privileges a

Brother Jim: father has is helping his

Brother Jim: children know their heavenly

Brother Jim: father.

Brother Jim: No earthly father is perfect.

Brother Jim: Who?

Brother Jim: You're talking to?

Brother Jim: One of the worst ones here, far from perfection.

Brother Jim: But when a father loves, forgive, serves and prays.

Brother Jim: He gives his children a glimpse of God's love.

Brother Jim: Does not our world need today?

Brother Jim: A godly father who diligently

Brother Jim: leads their children in every

Brother Jim: day life.

Brother Jim: We talked about Deuteronomy six last Tuesday.

Brother Jim: Seven verse seven.

Brother Jim: Impress them on your children.

Brother Jim: This command I give you today, it's to be on your heart.

Brother Jim: Impress them on your children.

Brother Jim: So number one, David to me is

Brother Jim: saying, you better have a good

Brother Jim: relationship with the father,

Brother Jim: right?

Brother Jim: How can you impress on a youth, on a child, a baby, when you

Brother Jim: ain't got your act straight to begin with, right?

Brother Jim: Whew!

Brother Jim: Wow.

Brother Jim: I wouldn't smack if I hadn't already got smacked tonight by a

Brother Jim: by a pole, I'd have David come over and smack me to knock a

Brother Jim: little sense into me myself.

Brother Jim: I wish now I could have done

Brother Jim: more of that with my three older

Brother Jim: ones.

Brother Jim: But you know what?

Brother Jim: I still have an opportunity, and

Brother Jim: I still do, trying to impress on

Brother Jim: them because I am trying to

Brother Jim: improve my relationship with

Brother Jim: God.

Brother Jim: And guess what, David?

Brother Jim: I still fail.

Brother Jim: I still screw it up.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: I'm still trying to put nacho cheese on my ice cream when he's

Brother Jim: saying not to talk about them.

Brother Jim: When you sit at home with them

Brother Jim: and when you lock again, when

Brother Jim: you're walking, doing whatever

Brother Jim: you do, are you impressing on

Brother Jim: them?

Brother Jim: What really matters?

Brother Jim: As we talked Tuesday, fathers leave a legacy.

Brother Jim: You know, David, one of the

Brother Jim: biggest things I do when I do

Brother Jim: funerals.

Brother Jim: We talk about the legacy.

Brother Jim: What legacy is left?

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: And unfortunately, I don't think

Brother Jim: we think about legacy until the

Brother Jim: person passes.

Brother Jim: And then I'm spinning words, putting words together to try to

Brother Jim: talk of this loved one's journey on their life.

Brother Jim: What legacy did they leave?

Brother Jim: And I've been very blessed because majority of the people

Brother Jim: have left a great legacy.

Brother Jim: But you know what's hard, David?

Brother Jim: Trying to spin words together.

Brother Jim: You're basically stretching the truth.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: What do you do?

Brother Jim: What do you do?

Brother Jim: My friends, how would you like to try to do that?

Brother Jim: You have a grieving family who

Brother Jim: has a lot of animosity and a lot

Brother Jim: of hate anger towards their

Brother Jim: daddy.

Brother Jim: And you've got to try somehow to make it work.

Brother Jim: It's kind of tough.

Brother Jim: Don't wait.

Brother Jim: Start making your legacy now.

Brother Jim: You still got time.

Brother Jim: Faith, integrity, love and wisdom.

Brother Jim: They can be passed down from one generation to the next.

Brother Jim: If you're willing, willing men, fathers, daddies, grandpas,

Brother Jim: uncles, even the neighbor.

Brother Jim: How many times did the neighbor

Brother Jim: fill in, at least in my life, to

Brother Jim: showed me things and I'm very

Brother Jim: grateful.

Brother Jim: I'm blessed for that.

Brother Jim: A father's greatest legacy is

Brother Jim: not what he leaves to his

Brother Jim: children, it is what he leaves

Brother Jim: in them.

Brother Jim: Fathers.

Brother Jim: You don't have to be perfect.

Brother Jim: Every one of us make mistakes.

Brother Jim: So again, children don't need a perfect dad.

Brother Jim: They need a dad.

Brother Jim: They need a daddy who loves them

Brother Jim: admits when he's messed up he's

Brother Jim: wrong.

Brother Jim: Keeps on growing, searching for that relationship with Christ.

Brother Jim: And through doing this, they

Brother Jim: point their youth, their next

Brother Jim: generation.

Brother Jim: The thing that matters the most to them toward Christ.

Brother Jim: Your presence, your prayers, and your example matter more than

Brother Jim: you may ever realize.

Brother Jim: A daddy's hands may build a

Brother Jim: house, but his heart builds a

Brother Jim: home.

Brother Jim: His words shape confidence.

Brother Jim: His examples shape character, and his faith can shape

Brother Jim: generations long, long after his children have grown.

Brother Jim: The love of a godly father

Brother Jim: continues to echo in their

Brother Jim: lives.

Brother Jim: I pray and it doesn't have to be Father's Day.

Brother Jim: My friends, this is an everyday accountability.

Brother Jim: May God bless every father, grandfather, stepfather,

Brother Jim: adoptive father and father figure who faithfully invests in

Brother Jim: the next generation.

Brother Jim: You know, unfortunately, I didn't have a relationship at

Brother Jim: all with my real dad.

Brother Jim: Yeah, zero.

Brother Jim: I can remember maybe four times I seen him in my life.

Brother Jim: And two years ago, unfortunately, I got the call.

Brother Jim: He lives in another state that he had passed.

Brother Jim: And, you know, dude, you got to go up and you got to clean out.

Brother Jim: And it's like, who is this man?

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Who was this man?

Brother Jim: And that's hard, dude.

Brother Jim: I'm fifty three and it's still yeah, I have daddy issues

Brother Jim: because at the end of the day, you still wonder, David, why

Brother Jim: wasn't I good enough?

Brother Jim: What?

Brother Jim: What did I do wrong?

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: That you didn't want to be a part of my life.

Brother Jim: I don't care if you're not rich.

Brother Jim: I don't care if you live in another state.

Brother Jim: I don't care if you messed up.

Brother Jim: I still wanted to know you.

Brother Jim: It's tough, man.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: It is.

Brother Jim: So I'm a fifty three, an old fart.

Brother Jim: Think about all these young kids

Brother Jim: out there wondering that same

Brother Jim: question.

Brother Jim: Maybe you're one of the ones wondering.

Brother Jim: And you know what?

Brother Jim: I'll tell you this as we close,

Brother Jim: the only piece that I have found

Brother Jim: with this is through Christ my

Brother Jim: Lord.

Brother Jim: That's the only, only way to get

Brother Jim: over it, to move on and to make

Brother Jim: sure my kids know how much

Brother Jim: they're loved.

Brother Jim: Your dad ever tell you he loves you?

David: Absolutely.

Brother Jim: Never heard that.

David: I can't imagine, never heard it.

David: Not.

Brother Jim: Not from my biological father.

Brother Jim: No. Yeah.

Brother Jim: And again, dude, you go through

Brother Jim: this stuff, this stuff, and it's

Brother Jim: like.

Brother Jim: And he was a cowboy.

Brother Jim: That's what kills me.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: The conversations we could have had, you know, the things he

Brother Jim: could have shown me.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: You know so well, my friends, that just about does it for this

Brother Jim: two Thursday, Thursday.

Brother Jim: Excuse me, June twenty fifth, twenty twenty six.

Brother Jim: We're going to hang on just a little bit more, get us through

Brother Jim: the Fourth of July, and then we're going to take a break here

Brother Jim: and, uh, make some improvements, but give us a little bit of

Brother Jim: break to freshen ourselves up if you will get some hopefully more

Brother Jim: improved dad jokes on my end.

Brother Jim: Uh, Mr. David, my friend, any closing thoughts?

Brother Jim: Comments?

David: You know, earlier when you were talking about the, the bathroom

David: thing and I said, I know exactly where you're going, I, I didn't

David: we were on two different paths.

David: And what I, the thing that I was thinking of was.

Brother Jim: I'm sorry.

David: Oh, the, the people in the restrooms and.

David: Oh yeah, yeah, I was going a different direction because it's

David: recently in the news about the, uh, the father who has taken

David: his, took his two young girls into the women's restroom.

David: Did you see about that at all?

Brother Jim: No, I did not.

David: Uh, young father, he's by himself traveling.

David: I don't know the whole situation.

David: If the if the wife is in the

David: picture, if she passed, I don't

David: know.

David: But anyway, I would guess they were four and five really young

David: girls stopped at a quick trip and the father took him in the

David: women's restroom because everything is stalls,

David: everybody's closed off.

David: Whether if you go into men's

David: restroom, that's a whole

David: different.

David: Yeah.

David: Anyway, made sure there was

David: nobody in there and it was all

David: clear.

David: And the one of the employees was was helping out and he's just

David: helping them wash their hands.

David: The whack job that I was

David: referring to was some guy whose

David: wife wanted to use the restroom,

David: and he's standing there filming

David: him at the door, just berating

David: him.

David: What kind of pervert?

David: What are you doing in a women's restroom?

David: And this dad, who had a he had a

David: cross on his shirt, and he's

David: just calmly helping his

David: daughters wash their hands and

David: getting them.

David: Oh, are you taking your tongue?

David: Not in any hurry to get out.

David: And this the father who was helping the daughters.

David: What an example.

David: Didn't lose his cool just helped

David: him and and and the even the

David: QuikTrip employee said, I'm so

David: sorry.

David: Right.

David: You know, anyway, that guy ended up losing his job.

David: So he, he got, uh.

Brother Jim: He said he did or didn't.

David: The guy who was filming him, who was berating him, they found out

David: who he was and he lost.

David: He lost his job.

David: But yeah, so that's where I thought we were going, but.

David: Oh, no, no, but but, you know,

David: just talking to, you know, a

David: good father, a good Christian

David: character.

David: Yeah.

David: Looking out for his daughters, taking him in the women's

David: restroom because they wouldn't be subjected to seeing anything

David: that they didn't need to see.

David: Yeah.

David: So I mean.

Brother Jim: And, you know, right, there's a perfect example, a shout out to

Brother Jim: all you single dads out there.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Who are trying to make it.

Brother Jim: And again, that totally

Brother Jim: different when I was referring

Brother Jim: to.

Brother Jim: But you got to do what you got to do.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: And again, what more could he have done?

Brother Jim: He had an employee come take

Brother Jim: care of that outside situation

Brother Jim: so he could attend, tend to his

Brother Jim: daughters.

Brother Jim: Yep.

Brother Jim: I mean, you know.

David: Yeah. Just all around great dad.

Brother Jim: Yeah. Shout out to that man there.

Brother Jim: No, I didn't hear about that one.

David: Mhm.

Brother Jim: And again, folks, I know I get a

Brother Jim: little fired up, but you know,

Brother Jim: it does.

Brother Jim: It frustrates me because my daughters are everything to me.

Brother Jim: My wife and, you know, and my grandchildren.

Brother Jim: The thought of anyone, you know,

Brother Jim: I'm sorry, but it's the world we

Brother Jim: live in.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: You know, I like that one joke about the guy.

Brother Jim: And I know you're probably going to get mad at me, but it's okay.

Brother Jim: Where a guy came in and tried to

Brother Jim: do something to his daughter

Brother Jim: and, uh, he identified as a

Brother Jim: woman.

Brother Jim: You know, he used that excuse.

Brother Jim: And the guy's like, yeah, I identified as the tooth fairy.

Brother Jim: Bingo.

Brother Jim: You know, that's a whole

Brother Jim: different subject we can get

Brother Jim: into to.

Brother Jim: And we've touched the surface a little bit, but.

Brother Jim: It's a world.

Brother Jim: People need help.

Brother Jim: People need Jesus.

Brother Jim: They do.

Brother Jim: And I'm not saying that of hate.

Brother Jim: Okay, guys.

Brother Jim: No, but as a father, there is a line.

Brother Jim: I'm sure you would do anything to protect your children, your

Brother Jim: wife, your family.

Brother Jim: What man wouldn't?

Brother Jim: So there is a line there.

Brother Jim: But also, as a Christian man, we got to remember God's got this.

Brother Jim: Just like that man.

Brother Jim: Lead by example.

Brother Jim: Don't lose your cool.

Brother Jim: And that's transformation.

Brother Jim: Work in progress.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: So. To all you single dads, to

Brother Jim: all you men, fathers,

Brother Jim: grandfathers, everybody.

Brother Jim: Happy belated Fathers Day.

Brother Jim: And remember you.

Brother Jim: Yes, you, my friends, you've got meaning.

Brother Jim: You've got value.

Brother Jim: And most of all you are loved.

Brother Jim: Men never forget that God created you with a purpose.

Brother Jim: And this world, fathers men is better off because you're in it.

Brother Jim: May God continue to bless you, guide all of us, strengthen us,

Brother Jim: and walk beside us through every moment of this life.

Brother Jim: And may you and I continue to thank our Lord above for the

Brother Jim: blessings we way too often take for granted each day.

Brother Jim: So wherever life takes you

Brother Jim: today, keep smiling, keep

Brother Jim: believing, keep loving, and keep

Brother Jim: trusting God.

Brother Jim: And remember this if we meet again.

Brother Jim: Oh baby, we're going to have a party.

Brother Jim: And we will smile.

Brother Jim: And we're going to rejoice together.

Brother Jim: And if not, then this parting was well made.

Brother Jim: Thank you for joining David and myself here on Bible in Prayer.

Brother Jim: And one day, when your earthly,

Brother Jim: earthly trail comes to an end,

Brother Jim: may it lead you home to hear our

Brother Jim: Savior say, well done, good and

Brother Jim: faithful servant.

Brother Jim: Until then.

Brother Jim: Until then, my friends, may you and your family be blessed.

Brother Jim: Walk the trail of faith and remember.

Brother Jim: Leave a legacy worth leaving.
