Brother Jim: minutes trying to get this thing
-
Brother Jim: together because we don't have
-
Brother Jim: any internet.
-
Brother Jim: Thankfully, we got power, but no internet or phones.
-
Brother Jim: But hey, again, David is the man.

Brother Jim: Please welcome a man among men.

David: Thank you, thank you.
-
David: In the whole wide world.
-
David: Thank you.
-
David: Good to be here.
-
David: Uh.
-
Brother Jim: How is life in my friend?
-
David: I don't know, I've been running around here like a chicken with
-
David: my head cut off.
-
David: It's like nothing works.
-
David: You can't.
-
David: You don't.
-
David: You wouldn't think you'd need
-
David: much internet to make this
-
David: happen.
-
David: But, you know, we we do.
-
Brother Jim: And we should put a GoPro on you
-
Brother Jim: so people could follow you
-
Brother Jim: around.
-
Brother Jim: You probably got your ten thousand steps.
-
David: I'm running around here with a with a cellular MiFi trying to
-
David: get, you know, stuff working.
-
David: And, you know, of course we're out here in the sticks, so
-
David: nothing works out.
-
Brother Jim: Kind of reminds me of the old phone or commercial, you know?
-
Brother Jim: Can you hear me yet?
-
Brother Jim: Can you hear me?
-
Brother Jim: Do we have connection yet?
-
Brother Jim: Oh.
-
David: Other than that, I'm doing alright.
-
David: Uh, yeah, I got I got my first mo in the other day.
-
David: Ah, yeah.
-
David: On Saturday.
-
Brother Jim: Yes.
-
David: Yeah. It didn't really need it, but I had a bunch of debris and
-
David: stuff from the windstorm and a bunch of leaves.
-
David: I'm like, you know, I can mulch them up with the lawn mower.
-
David: So yeah.
-
Brother Jim: I got mine out and did the backyard.
-
Brother Jim: Nice trimming.
-
Brother Jim: Nice.
-
Brother Jim: You know, just getting it all even and cleaning up stuff.
-
Brother Jim: Yeah, I was out there Friday and I tell you, the wind, it was
-
Brother Jim: like, I need a hard hat out here because you could hear trees
-
Brother Jim: falling in the woods there.
-
Brother Jim: And, uh, I don't tell on me, but I had a little fire, you know,
-
Brother Jim: and it was like, cool.
-
Brother Jim: Don't worry.
-
Brother Jim: I was a volunteer firefighter.
-
Brother Jim: It's all under control.
-
David: Oh, a trained professional.
-
Brother Jim: Exactly.
-
Brother Jim: Had my bottle of water out there, I was ready.
-
Brother Jim: There you go.
-
Brother Jim: In case it got out of out of hand.
-
Brother Jim: Um. But no. Yeah, it was nice, but windy, man.
-
Brother Jim: Yeah.
-
Brother Jim: Crazy.
-
Brother Jim: The brew house, that video
-
Brother Jim: footage of the brew house's roof
-
Brother Jim: coming off.
-
David: That was nuts.
-
Brother Jim: Yeah. Signs, trees.
-
David: I don't know if you saw any
-
David: pictures of the front of it
-
David: where you can see the windows,
-
David: but you can look through the
-
David: windows and see daylight inside
-
David: there because, you know,
-
David: there's, there's just nothing
-
David: but beams.
-
Brother Jim: Now, the question is, if I was in there, what I stopped eating
-
Brother Jim: my wings or just what it kept on going, roof or no roof.
-
David: I guess it depends on how much ruckus there was.
-
Brother Jim: I would still kept eating my wings.
-
Brother Jim: Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna finish my wings before I leave, you know?
-
Brother Jim: Yes, but how are we doing today?

Brother Jim: Easter, Easter, ham, whatever people like.
-
Brother Jim: Let us know what you guys do for Easter.
-
Brother Jim: We'd love to hear.
-
Brother Jim: My aunt always does a ham and she uses those cloves, those
-
Brother Jim: little black things.
-
Brother Jim: And I despise them.
-
Brother Jim: Oh, I hate them.
-
Brother Jim: So that's been an ongoing joke between us for years.
-
Brother Jim: Them nasty clothes.
-
Brother Jim: I said.
-
Brother Jim: I think they originated from hell myself, but she, uh, tends
-
Brother Jim: to differ with me on that one, but, uh, yeah.
-
Brother Jim: Ham, scalloped potatoes.
-
Brother Jim: You know, people seem like they mix things up anymore.
-
Brother Jim: For meals, you know?
-
Brother Jim: Yeah.
-
Brother Jim: Um, and if it's nice, good time
-
Brother Jim: to get out and do some
-
Brother Jim: barbecuing.

Brother Jim: You know.

David: In Easter's kind of late this year, so.

Brother Jim: But let us know what you guys.

Brother Jim: What's your big Easter feast?
-
Brother Jim: What you got planned?

Brother Jim: You know, desserts are more in our family.
-
Brother Jim: There's a couple pies, but mainly more, uh, cakes, stuff
-
Brother Jim: like that, you know?
-
Brother Jim: Yeah.
-
Brother Jim: Frosting.
-
Brother Jim: And, um, so yeah, a nice variety.
-
Brother Jim: That's the bad thing.
-
Brother Jim: Eat.
-
Brother Jim: And then you don't want dessert.
-
Brother Jim: You got.
-
David: It. Right.
-
Brother Jim: Yeah. You know, or to go as we talked the other day, it's good
-
Brother Jim: old to go containers.
-
Brother Jim: Uh, anymore though it's like we're always pushing food off.
-
Brother Jim: Take this home because we don't want.
-
David: It, right?
-
Brother Jim: I don't know about your family, but we always make way too much.
-
Brother Jim: Way too much.
-
David: Well, my kids don't.
-
David: My kids don't eat, and we don't usually host events, so we're
-
David: kind of good for now.
-
Brother Jim: So you're blessed with that?
-
David: I'm sure that'll change, but.
-
Brother Jim: Yes. But, uh, yes.
-
Brother Jim: So let us know.
-
Brother Jim: Make sure you get your Sunday Easter dress all ready.
-
Brother Jim: I gotta take my stuff to the dry cleaner so, you know, get it all
-
Brother Jim: ready to roll.
-
David: Yeah.
-
Brother Jim: So that is a cost, is it?
-
Brother Jim: Oh, yeah.
-
Brother Jim: Three suits.
-
Brother Jim: And even with the pastor discounts like sixty bucks.
-
David: That's awesome that they give a discount.
-
Brother Jim: It is midtown dry cleaner.
-
Brother Jim: Shout out to them.
-
Brother Jim: Best service and very friendly.
-
Brother Jim: And thank you for the discount.
-
David: Yeah. Really?
-
Brother Jim: Yeah. It's actually a pretty nice discount, but had no idea
-
Brother Jim: about that until you get into the business and it's like, you
-
Brother Jim: gotta be kidding me.
-
Brother Jim: Yeah.
-
Brother Jim: You know this much to get a suit dry cleaned.
-
David: I mean, you only need a suit for work, right?
-
David: So, I mean, there should be a line item in the budget there
-
David: for dry cleaning.
-
Brother Jim: I was thinking that.
-
Brother Jim: Yeah, yeah.
-
Brother Jim: And I had to get my hat pressed because it unfortunately, if you
-
Brother Jim: don't take care of your hats, they get a little weird.
-
Brother Jim: Whoa.
-
Brother Jim: Easy, baby.
-
Brother Jim: Easy.
-
Brother Jim: A little, uh, Wampee catechu wampee.
-
Brother Jim: You know you don't put it on.
-
Brother Jim: I bought one of them Styrofoam heads to put the hat on.
-
David: Okay.
-
Brother Jim: It's a dress hat, so.
-
Brother Jim: Yeah, yeah.
-
Brother Jim: But alrighty.
-
Brother Jim: Well, let's get going.
-
Brother Jim: Let us remember another sunrise,
-
Brother Jim: another chance to shine, a
-
Brother Jim: chance to show the world and
-
Brother Jim: everyone around that you are one
-
Brother Jim: special person that we have been
-
Brother Jim: blessed, including David,
-
Brother Jim: myself, and even little Miss Ida
-
Brother Jim: Lee here.
-
Brother Jim: So we are alive.
-
Brother Jim: And for many of us, we're doing pretty good, almost healthy.
-
Brother Jim: Seems like that's the case as you get older.
-
Brother Jim: Yeah.
-
Brother Jim: Could be worse.
-
Brother Jim: Could be better.
-
Brother Jim: Yeah.
-
Brother Jim: Somewhere in between.
-
Brother Jim: But even then.
-
Brother Jim: Excuse me guys, even then, we are blessed.
-
Brother Jim: So come on and join Mr. David and I as we say.
-
Brother Jim: Thank you, Lord, for another day
-
Brother Jim: here on this earth, which
-
Brother Jim: involves opportunity.
-
Brother Jim: Say that with me.
-
Brother Jim: Opportunity just waiting for you and I to make our mark.
-
Brother Jim: And again, as I have said, and I'll keep on saying, my friends,
-
Brother Jim: we've got work to do.
-
Brother Jim: Oh, we've got work to do.
-
Brother Jim: And allow me to remind you every morning.
-
Brother Jim: It's a beautiful morning if you allow it.
-
Brother Jim: Find that good in life and forget the bad.
-
Brother Jim: And, you know, as we say, everybody's got problems.
-
Brother Jim: And I tell you what seems like
-
Brother Jim: it just keeps getting worse and
-
Brother Jim: worse.
-
Brother Jim: David.
-
Brother Jim: Problems?
-
Brother Jim: Yeah.
-
Brother Jim: I mean, especially the medical side of it, people dealing with
-
Brother Jim: this, dealing with that.
-
Brother Jim: But we shall make it.
-
Brother Jim: And remember, you're not alone.
-
Brother Jim: Well, why?
-
Brother Jim: Because Jesus and Jesus alone rejoice that you are alive.
-
Brother Jim: Rejoice that you are free.
-
Brother Jim: And when you look in that mirror, remember.
-
Brother Jim: Remember, my friends, you are beautiful too.
-
Brother Jim: No matter what the world says, forget the world.
-
Brother Jim: Are you of the world?
-
Brother Jim: Are you in the world or are you of Jesus?
-
Brother Jim: And don't forget most of all, oh my goodness, you are loved.
-
Brother Jim: Now our humor of the day are an eccentric philosophy professor.
-
Brother Jim: That's a big word right there.
-
Brother Jim: Gave a one question final exam after a semester dealing with a
-
Brother Jim: broad array of topics.
-
Brother Jim: The class was already seated and ready to go when the professor
-
Brother Jim: picked up his chair, plopped it in on his desk, and wrote on the
-
Brother Jim: board, using everything we have learned this semester, prove
-
Brother Jim: that the chair does not exist.
-
Brother Jim: Fingers flew, erasers erase,
-
Brother Jim: notebooks were filled and
-
Brother Jim: furious fashion.
-
Brother Jim: Some students wrote over thirty
-
Brother Jim: pages in one hour attempting to
-
Brother Jim: describe the existence of the
-
Brother Jim: chair.
-
Brother Jim: One member of the class, however, was up and finished in
-
Brother Jim: less than a minute.
-
Brother Jim: Weeks later, when the grades were posted, the rest of the
-
Brother Jim: group wondered how he could have gotten an A when he had barely
-
Brother Jim: written anything at all.
-
Brother Jim: His answer consisted of two words.
-
Brother Jim: What chair?
-
Brother Jim: I thought that was pretty good.
-
David: Yeah. It's good.
-
Brother Jim: All right.
-
Brother Jim: Our thought of the day.
-
Brother Jim: It was pride that changed angels into devils.
-
Brother Jim: It is humility that makes men as angels.
-
Brother Jim: All right.
-
Brother Jim: Humility, big word.
-
Brother Jim: David, humility.
-
Brother Jim: And as we've been talking about
-
Brother Jim: on our Sunday morning series,
-
Brother Jim: The Woes of the Pharisees, we've
-
Brother Jim: been talking about hypocrites,
-
Brother Jim: the Pharisees, their
-
Brother Jim: understanding.
-
Brother Jim: They knew the law, but they sure
-
Brother Jim: didn't live it in their own
-
Brother Jim: life.
-
Brother Jim: And that's where humility comes in.
-
Brother Jim: So let me ask you something, my friends, right off the bat, what
-
Brother Jim: does humility mean to you?
-
Brother Jim: Now, humility is one of the most beautiful yet challenging
-
Brother Jim: virtues in the Christian life and a world that often tells us
-
Brother Jim: to promote ourselves.
-
Brother Jim: And oh baby, it does get on
-
Brother Jim: social media and it's me, me,
-
Brother Jim: me.
-
Brother Jim: Defend our pride and seek recognition.
-
Brother Jim: God calls us to a different path.
-
Brother Jim: Yes he does.
-
Brother Jim: The path of humility.
-
Brother Jim: Say that word with me.
-
Brother Jim: Humility.
-
Brother Jim: In Philippians two verse three, the apostle Paul writes, do
-
Brother Jim: nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit.
-
Brother Jim: Rather, in humility, value others above yourself.
-
Brother Jim: Now, David, that's a tough one to do in this world, isn't it?
-
David: Yeah.
-
Brother Jim: We kind of promote that as a society, do we not?
-
David: We do.
-
Brother Jim: And I'm sure it's been there forever.
-
Brother Jim: But I think with technology not
-
Brother Jim: bashing it, but it has opened
-
Brother Jim: the floodgates.
-
David: Certainly enhanced that.
-
Brother Jim: Yes. To I mean, all you got to do is get on social media and
-
Brother Jim: wow, wow wow.
-
David: Yeah.
-
Brother Jim: Now you might be saying, well, Brother Jim, Dave, what are you
-
Brother Jim: guys doing here?
-
Brother Jim: No, we're trying to promote something a little different.
-
Brother Jim: We're not promoting ourselves.
-
Brother Jim: Now we're part of it.
-
Brother Jim: But we're trying to fulfill a
-
Brother Jim: calling here to bring something
-
Brother Jim: for our fans, our audience to
-
Brother Jim: listen to, to challenge them
-
Brother Jim: with humor.
-
Brother Jim: Dave and Jim, humor to be more.
-
Brother Jim: But you know, it's not about us.
-
Brother Jim: And that is one thing I've really come to in my life.
-
Brother Jim: Understand.
-
Brother Jim: It's not about me.
-
Brother Jim: It's about the kingdom.
-
Brother Jim: It's about building the kingdom up, and that's where we need to
-
Brother Jim: always keep that in check.
-
Brother Jim: And that's where that good old dose of humility from time to
-
Brother Jim: time comes in.
-
Brother Jim: You ever been humbled, David?
-
David: Oh, plenty of times, for sure.
-
Brother Jim: Yeah. And how we react depends on the person.
-
Brother Jim: True.
-
David: It does.
-
David: Yeah.
-
Brother Jim: You can take it with a grain of salt and say, yeah, I was wrong.
-
Brother Jim: Or I now see the light.
-
Brother Jim: Or you can sit there and argue
-
Brother Jim: and argue and argue and not
-
Brother Jim: admit to yourself that, yeah,
-
Brother Jim: maybe I was doing it for
-
Brother Jim: ulterior motives.
-
David: Yeah.
-
Brother Jim: I think that's just a good rule in life with anything you do.
-
Brother Jim: Why are you really doing it?
-
Brother Jim: Check yourself.
-
Brother Jim: You know, before we go off in a new adventure.
-
Brother Jim: Why am I doing this?
-
Brother Jim: Especially on the Christian side, especially representing
-
Brother Jim: the church, representing God.
-
Brother Jim: Who's gaining from this, if you will.
-
Brother Jim: Humility, value others above yourself.
-
Brother Jim: A humility begins when we stop focusing on ourselves and start
-
Brother Jim: caring deeply about others.
-
Brother Jim: And again, I'm not going to bash the world.
-
Brother Jim: Uh, it's just being honest.
-
Brother Jim: There is good and there is bad.
-
Brother Jim: There always has been.
-
Brother Jim: You have people who go out of their way.
-
Brother Jim: As the old saying goes, they give you their shirt off their
-
Brother Jim: back and you got some would take your shirt, steal it, and then
-
Brother Jim: put it on eBay or marketplace and try to make a buck.
-
Brother Jim: That's just the world we live in.
-
Brother Jim: But the greatest example of humility is Jesus Christ.
-
Brother Jim: Though he is the Son of God.
-
Brother Jim: Jesus chose to serve rather than be served.
-
Brother Jim: He washed the feet of his
-
Brother Jim: disciples, welcomed the lowly,
-
Brother Jim: the lost, the outcast, and
-
Brother Jim: ultimately gave his life for all
-
Brother Jim: humanity.
-
Brother Jim: His life teaches us that humility is not weakness.
-
Brother Jim: No, no, no. It is strength under control and love in action.
-
Brother Jim: And I like that, David.
-
Brother Jim: Strength under control.
-
Brother Jim: It's very easy to lose control, is it not?
-
David: Oh for sure.
-
Brother Jim: How about you guys out there listening in?
-
Brother Jim: You ever lose control?
-
Brother Jim: I think that's just part of
-
Brother Jim: being a man or a woman or a
-
Brother Jim: child.
-
David: It happens.
-
Brother Jim: In control, and the more we get ourselves under control, the
-
Brother Jim: better off we are, especially in our Christian walk.
-
Brother Jim: True, because again, who's living in you?
-
Brother Jim: If we go back to the old cup now again clean.
-
Brother Jim: But inside.
-
Brother Jim: This morning I got my trash in there.
-
Brother Jim: A bunch of funk, a bunch of junk.
-
Brother Jim: And where is my humility?
-
Brother Jim: And we're going to talk about integrity next week.
-
Brother Jim: Offer somebody something.
-
Brother Jim: And, uh, that that's something you raised, David.
-
David: Yeah. Sorry.
-
David: Your audio was cutting out, so I
-
David: was fiddling with some stuff
-
David: over here.
-
David: Oh. You're good.
-
David: Yeah, I think it has a lot to do with how we were raised.
-
David: You said.
-
David: Yeah.
-
David: Yeah, I think so.
-
Brother Jim: Examples by our parents.
-
Brother Jim: Our grandparents.
-
Brother Jim: Yeah.
-
Brother Jim: Those mentors in our life.
-
Brother Jim: Because if a child to me, if
-
Brother Jim: they're not raised, if they
-
Brother Jim: don't have an example of seeing
-
Brother Jim: why, you know, that person gets
-
Brother Jim: the biggest piece of cake
-
Brother Jim: instead of herself, they're
-
Brother Jim: always going to want the biggest
-
Brother Jim: cake, right?
-
Brother Jim: I think that's just human nature.
-
Brother Jim: You know, we want, we want, we want.
-
Brother Jim: And, uh, you know, would I be willing if I got a twenty two
-
Brother Jim: ounce ribeye in here?
-
Brother Jim: Would I be willing to split it with David?
-
Brother Jim: Ah, now the pressure's on.
-
Brother Jim: Yes, yes, I would.
-
Brother Jim: Would I give David the best piece?
-
Brother Jim: Yeah I would so again, you know, food is easy.
-
Brother Jim: Well, for most people, but for
-
Brother Jim: some people my wife, she does
-
Brother Jim: not share.
-
Brother Jim: But you know what I mean.
-
Brother Jim: What what do we give?
-
Brother Jim: Uh, so start thinking about humility.
-
Brother Jim: It's not a weakness.
-
Brother Jim: It's a strength under control in love and action.
-
Brother Jim: Humility also reminds you and I that everything we have comes
-
Brother Jim: from God and how true that is.
-
Brother Jim: Again, I think that's something we've lost.
-
Brother Jim: It all comes from God.
-
Brother Jim: We work hard, we earn it, but it comes from God.
-
Brother Jim: Our blessings, our talents, our
-
Brother Jim: opportunities and achievements,
-
Brother Jim: our gifts.
-
Brother Jim: And when we recognize this pride, yes, good old pride fades
-
Brother Jim: and gratitude grows.
-
Brother Jim: Think about that.
-
Brother Jim: Pride fades and gratitude grows.
-
Brother Jim: And finally, humility brings us closer to God.
-
Brother Jim: And James four ten, we're told, humble yourselves before the
-
Brother Jim: Lord, and he will lift you up.
-
Brother Jim: When we lower ourselves before God, he raises us.
-
