  82. David: my head cut off.

  83. David: It's like nothing works.

  84. David: You can't.

  85. David: You don't.

  86. David: You wouldn't think you'd need

  87. David: much internet to make this

  88. David: happen.

  89. David: But, you know, we we do.

  90. Brother Jim: And we should put a GoPro on you

  91. Brother Jim: so people could follow you

  92. Brother Jim: around.

  93. Brother Jim: You probably got your ten thousand steps.

  94. David: I'm running around here with a with a cellular MiFi trying to

  95. David: get, you know, stuff working.

  96. David: And, you know, of course we're out here in the sticks, so

  97. David: nothing works out.

  98. Brother Jim: Kind of reminds me of the old phone or commercial, you know?

  99. Brother Jim: Can you hear me yet?

  100. Brother Jim: Can you hear me?

  101. Brother Jim: Do we have connection yet?

  102. Brother Jim: Oh.

  105. David: Ah, yeah.

  106. David: On Saturday.

  107. Brother Jim: Yes.

  108. David: Yeah. It didn't really need it, but I had a bunch of debris and

  109. David: stuff from the windstorm and a bunch of leaves.

  110. David: I'm like, you know, I can mulch them up with the lawn mower.

  111. David: So yeah.

  112. Brother Jim: I got mine out and did the backyard.

  113. Brother Jim: Nice trimming.

  114. Brother Jim: Nice.

  115. Brother Jim: You know, just getting it all even and cleaning up stuff.

  116. Brother Jim: Yeah, I was out there Friday and I tell you, the wind, it was

  117. Brother Jim: like, I need a hard hat out here because you could hear trees

  118. Brother Jim: falling in the woods there.

  119. Brother Jim: And, uh, I don't tell on me, but I had a little fire, you know,

  120. Brother Jim: and it was like, cool.

  121. Brother Jim: Don't worry.

  122. Brother Jim: I was a volunteer firefighter.

  123. Brother Jim: It's all under control.

  124. David: Oh, a trained professional.

  125. Brother Jim: Exactly.

  126. Brother Jim: Had my bottle of water out there, I was ready.

  127. Brother Jim: There you go.

  128. Brother Jim: In case it got out of out of hand.

  129. Brother Jim: Um. But no. Yeah, it was nice, but windy, man.

  130. Brother Jim: Yeah.

  131. Brother Jim: Crazy.

  132. Brother Jim: The brew house, that video

  133. Brother Jim: footage of the brew house's roof

  134. Brother Jim: coming off.

  135. David: That was nuts.

  136. Brother Jim: Yeah. Signs, trees.

  137. David: I don't know if you saw any

  138. David: pictures of the front of it

  139. David: where you can see the windows,

  140. David: but you can look through the

  141. David: windows and see daylight inside

  142. David: there because, you know,

  143. David: there's, there's just nothing

  144. David: but beams.

  145. Brother Jim: Now, the question is, if I was in there, what I stopped eating

  146. Brother Jim: my wings or just what it kept on going, roof or no roof.

  147. David: I guess it depends on how much ruckus there was.

  148. Brother Jim: I would still kept eating my wings.

  149. Brother Jim: Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna finish my wings before I leave, you know?

  150. Brother Jim: Yes, but how are we doing today?

  176. Brother Jim: We'd love to hear.

  177. Brother Jim: My aunt always does a ham and she uses those cloves, those

  178. Brother Jim: little black things.

  179. Brother Jim: And I despise them.

  180. Brother Jim: Oh, I hate them.

  181. Brother Jim: So that's been an ongoing joke between us for years.

  182. Brother Jim: Them nasty clothes.

  183. Brother Jim: I said.

  184. Brother Jim: I think they originated from hell myself, but she, uh, tends

  185. Brother Jim: to differ with me on that one, but, uh, yeah.

  186. Brother Jim: Ham, scalloped potatoes.

  187. Brother Jim: You know, people seem like they mix things up anymore.

  203. Brother Jim: What's your big Easter feast?

  204. Brother Jim: What you got planned?

  205. Brother Jim: You know, desserts are more in our family.

  207. Brother Jim: like that, you know?

  208. Brother Jim: Yeah.

  209. Brother Jim: Frosting.

  210. Brother Jim: And, um, so yeah, a nice variety.

  211. Brother Jim: That's the bad thing.

  212. Brother Jim: Eat.

  213. Brother Jim: And then you don't want dessert.

  214. Brother Jim: You got.

  215. David: It. Right.

  216. Brother Jim: Yeah. You know, or to go as we talked the other day, it's good

  217. Brother Jim: old to go containers.

  218. Brother Jim: Uh, anymore though it's like we're always pushing food off.

  219. Brother Jim: Take this home because we don't want.

  220. David: It, right?

  221. Brother Jim: I don't know about your family, but we always make way too much.

  222. Brother Jim: Way too much.

  223. David: Well, my kids don't.

  224. David: My kids don't eat, and we don't usually host events, so we're

  225. David: kind of good for now.

  226. Brother Jim: So you're blessed with that?

  227. David: I'm sure that'll change, but.

  228. Brother Jim: Yes. But, uh, yes.

  229. Brother Jim: So let us know.

  230. Brother Jim: Make sure you get your Sunday Easter dress all ready.

  231. Brother Jim: I gotta take my stuff to the dry cleaner so, you know, get it all

  232. Brother Jim: ready to roll.

  233. David: Yeah.

  234. Brother Jim: So that is a cost, is it?

  235. Brother Jim: Oh, yeah.

  236. Brother Jim: Three suits.

  237. Brother Jim: And even with the pastor discounts like sixty bucks.

  238. David: That's awesome that they give a discount.

  239. Brother Jim: It is midtown dry cleaner.

  240. Brother Jim: Shout out to them.

  241. Brother Jim: Best service and very friendly.

  242. Brother Jim: And thank you for the discount.

  243. David: Yeah. Really?

  244. Brother Jim: Yeah. It's actually a pretty nice discount, but had no idea

  245. Brother Jim: about that until you get into the business and it's like, you

  246. Brother Jim: gotta be kidding me.

  247. Brother Jim: Yeah.

  248. Brother Jim: You know this much to get a suit dry cleaned.

  249. David: I mean, you only need a suit for work, right?

  250. David: So, I mean, there should be a line item in the budget there

  251. David: for dry cleaning.

  252. Brother Jim: I was thinking that.

  253. Brother Jim: Yeah, yeah.

  254. Brother Jim: And I had to get my hat pressed because it unfortunately, if you

  255. Brother Jim: don't take care of your hats, they get a little weird.

  256. Brother Jim: Whoa.

  257. Brother Jim: Easy, baby.

  258. Brother Jim: Easy.

  259. Brother Jim: A little, uh, Wampee catechu wampee.

  260. Brother Jim: You know you don't put it on.

  261. Brother Jim: I bought one of them Styrofoam heads to put the hat on.

  262. David: Okay.

  263. Brother Jim: It's a dress hat, so.

  264. Brother Jim: Yeah, yeah.

  265. Brother Jim: But alrighty.

  266. Brother Jim: Well, let's get going.

  267. Brother Jim: Let us remember another sunrise,

  268. Brother Jim: another chance to shine, a

  269. Brother Jim: chance to show the world and

  270. Brother Jim: everyone around that you are one

  271. Brother Jim: special person that we have been

  272. Brother Jim: blessed, including David,

  273. Brother Jim: myself, and even little Miss Ida

  274. Brother Jim: Lee here.

  275. Brother Jim: So we are alive.

  276. Brother Jim: And for many of us, we're doing pretty good, almost healthy.

  277. Brother Jim: Seems like that's the case as you get older.

  278. Brother Jim: Yeah.

  279. Brother Jim: Could be worse.

  280. Brother Jim: Could be better.

  281. Brother Jim: Yeah.

  282. Brother Jim: Somewhere in between.

  283. Brother Jim: But even then.

  284. Brother Jim: Excuse me guys, even then, we are blessed.

  285. Brother Jim: So come on and join Mr. David and I as we say.

  286. Brother Jim: Thank you, Lord, for another day

  287. Brother Jim: here on this earth, which

  288. Brother Jim: involves opportunity.

  289. Brother Jim: Say that with me.

  290. Brother Jim: Opportunity just waiting for you and I to make our mark.

  291. Brother Jim: And again, as I have said, and I'll keep on saying, my friends,

  292. Brother Jim: we've got work to do.

  293. Brother Jim: Oh, we've got work to do.

  294. Brother Jim: And allow me to remind you every morning.

  295. Brother Jim: It's a beautiful morning if you allow it.

  296. Brother Jim: Find that good in life and forget the bad.

  297. Brother Jim: And, you know, as we say, everybody's got problems.

  298. Brother Jim: And I tell you what seems like

  299. Brother Jim: it just keeps getting worse and

  300. Brother Jim: worse.

  301. Brother Jim: David.

  302. Brother Jim: Problems?

  303. Brother Jim: Yeah.

  304. Brother Jim: I mean, especially the medical side of it, people dealing with

  305. Brother Jim: this, dealing with that.

  306. Brother Jim: But we shall make it.

  307. Brother Jim: And remember, you're not alone.

  308. Brother Jim: Well, why?

  309. Brother Jim: Because Jesus and Jesus alone rejoice that you are alive.

  310. Brother Jim: Rejoice that you are free.

  311. Brother Jim: And when you look in that mirror, remember.

  312. Brother Jim: Remember, my friends, you are beautiful too.

  313. Brother Jim: No matter what the world says, forget the world.

  314. Brother Jim: Are you of the world?

  315. Brother Jim: Are you in the world or are you of Jesus?

  316. Brother Jim: And don't forget most of all, oh my goodness, you are loved.

  317. Brother Jim: Now our humor of the day are an eccentric philosophy professor.

  318. Brother Jim: That's a big word right there.

  319. Brother Jim: Gave a one question final exam after a semester dealing with a

  320. Brother Jim: broad array of topics.

  321. Brother Jim: The class was already seated and ready to go when the professor

  322. Brother Jim: picked up his chair, plopped it in on his desk, and wrote on the

  323. Brother Jim: board, using everything we have learned this semester, prove

  324. Brother Jim: that the chair does not exist.

  325. Brother Jim: Fingers flew, erasers erase,

  326. Brother Jim: notebooks were filled and

  327. Brother Jim: furious fashion.

  328. Brother Jim: Some students wrote over thirty

  329. Brother Jim: pages in one hour attempting to

  330. Brother Jim: describe the existence of the

  331. Brother Jim: chair.

  332. Brother Jim: One member of the class, however, was up and finished in

  333. Brother Jim: less than a minute.

  334. Brother Jim: Weeks later, when the grades were posted, the rest of the

  335. Brother Jim: group wondered how he could have gotten an A when he had barely

  336. Brother Jim: written anything at all.

  337. Brother Jim: His answer consisted of two words.

  338. Brother Jim: What chair?

  339. Brother Jim: I thought that was pretty good.

  340. David: Yeah. It's good.

  341. Brother Jim: All right.

  342. Brother Jim: Our thought of the day.

  343. Brother Jim: It was pride that changed angels into devils.

  344. Brother Jim: It is humility that makes men as angels.

  345. Brother Jim: All right.

  346. Brother Jim: Humility, big word.

  347. Brother Jim: David, humility.

  348. Brother Jim: And as we've been talking about

  349. Brother Jim: on our Sunday morning series,

  350. Brother Jim: The Woes of the Pharisees, we've

  351. Brother Jim: been talking about hypocrites,

  352. Brother Jim: the Pharisees, their

  353. Brother Jim: understanding.

  354. Brother Jim: They knew the law, but they sure

  355. Brother Jim: didn't live it in their own

  356. Brother Jim: life.

  357. Brother Jim: And that's where humility comes in.

  358. Brother Jim: So let me ask you something, my friends, right off the bat, what

  359. Brother Jim: does humility mean to you?

  360. Brother Jim: Now, humility is one of the most beautiful yet challenging

  361. Brother Jim: virtues in the Christian life and a world that often tells us

  362. Brother Jim: to promote ourselves.

  363. Brother Jim: And oh baby, it does get on

  364. Brother Jim: social media and it's me, me,

  365. Brother Jim: me.

  366. Brother Jim: Defend our pride and seek recognition.

  367. Brother Jim: God calls us to a different path.

  368. Brother Jim: Yes he does.

  369. Brother Jim: The path of humility.

  370. Brother Jim: Say that word with me.

  371. Brother Jim: Humility.

  372. Brother Jim: In Philippians two verse three, the apostle Paul writes, do

  373. Brother Jim: nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit.

  374. Brother Jim: Rather, in humility, value others above yourself.

  375. Brother Jim: Now, David, that's a tough one to do in this world, isn't it?

  376. David: Yeah.

  377. Brother Jim: We kind of promote that as a society, do we not?

  378. David: We do.

  379. Brother Jim: And I'm sure it's been there forever.

  380. Brother Jim: But I think with technology not

  381. Brother Jim: bashing it, but it has opened

  382. Brother Jim: the floodgates.

  383. David: Certainly enhanced that.

  384. Brother Jim: Yes. To I mean, all you got to do is get on social media and

  385. Brother Jim: wow, wow wow.

  386. David: Yeah.

  387. Brother Jim: Now you might be saying, well, Brother Jim, Dave, what are you

  388. Brother Jim: guys doing here?

  389. Brother Jim: No, we're trying to promote something a little different.

  390. Brother Jim: We're not promoting ourselves.

  391. Brother Jim: Now we're part of it.

  392. Brother Jim: But we're trying to fulfill a

  393. Brother Jim: calling here to bring something

  394. Brother Jim: for our fans, our audience to

  395. Brother Jim: listen to, to challenge them

  396. Brother Jim: with humor.

  397. Brother Jim: Dave and Jim, humor to be more.

  398. Brother Jim: But you know, it's not about us.

  399. Brother Jim: And that is one thing I've really come to in my life.

  400. Brother Jim: Understand.

  401. Brother Jim: It's not about me.

  402. Brother Jim: It's about the kingdom.

  403. Brother Jim: It's about building the kingdom up, and that's where we need to

  404. Brother Jim: always keep that in check.

  405. Brother Jim: And that's where that good old dose of humility from time to

  406. Brother Jim: time comes in.

  407. Brother Jim: You ever been humbled, David?

  408. David: Oh, plenty of times, for sure.

  409. Brother Jim: Yeah. And how we react depends on the person.

  410. Brother Jim: True.

  411. David: It does.

  412. David: Yeah.

  413. Brother Jim: You can take it with a grain of salt and say, yeah, I was wrong.

  414. Brother Jim: Or I now see the light.

  415. Brother Jim: Or you can sit there and argue

  416. Brother Jim: and argue and argue and not

  417. Brother Jim: admit to yourself that, yeah,

  418. Brother Jim: maybe I was doing it for

  419. Brother Jim: ulterior motives.

  420. David: Yeah.

  421. Brother Jim: I think that's just a good rule in life with anything you do.

  422. Brother Jim: Why are you really doing it?

  423. Brother Jim: Check yourself.

  424. Brother Jim: You know, before we go off in a new adventure.

  425. Brother Jim: Why am I doing this?

  426. Brother Jim: Especially on the Christian side, especially representing

  427. Brother Jim: the church, representing God.

  428. Brother Jim: Who's gaining from this, if you will.

  429. Brother Jim: Humility, value others above yourself.

  430. Brother Jim: A humility begins when we stop focusing on ourselves and start

  431. Brother Jim: caring deeply about others.

  432. Brother Jim: And again, I'm not going to bash the world.

  433. Brother Jim: Uh, it's just being honest.

  434. Brother Jim: There is good and there is bad.

  435. Brother Jim: There always has been.

  436. Brother Jim: You have people who go out of their way.

  437. Brother Jim: As the old saying goes, they give you their shirt off their

  438. Brother Jim: back and you got some would take your shirt, steal it, and then

  439. Brother Jim: put it on eBay or marketplace and try to make a buck.

  440. Brother Jim: That's just the world we live in.

  441. Brother Jim: But the greatest example of humility is Jesus Christ.

  442. Brother Jim: Though he is the Son of God.

  443. Brother Jim: Jesus chose to serve rather than be served.

  444. Brother Jim: He washed the feet of his

  445. Brother Jim: disciples, welcomed the lowly,

  446. Brother Jim: the lost, the outcast, and

  447. Brother Jim: ultimately gave his life for all

  448. Brother Jim: humanity.

  449. Brother Jim: His life teaches us that humility is not weakness.

  450. Brother Jim: No, no, no. It is strength under control and love in action.

  451. Brother Jim: And I like that, David.

  452. Brother Jim: Strength under control.

  453. Brother Jim: It's very easy to lose control, is it not?

  454. David: Oh for sure.

  455. Brother Jim: How about you guys out there listening in?

  456. Brother Jim: You ever lose control?

  457. Brother Jim: I think that's just part of

  458. Brother Jim: being a man or a woman or a

  459. Brother Jim: child.

  460. David: It happens.

  461. Brother Jim: In control, and the more we get ourselves under control, the

  462. Brother Jim: better off we are, especially in our Christian walk.

  463. Brother Jim: True, because again, who's living in you?

  464. Brother Jim: If we go back to the old cup now again clean.

  465. Brother Jim: But inside.

  466. Brother Jim: This morning I got my trash in there.

  467. Brother Jim: A bunch of funk, a bunch of junk.

  468. Brother Jim: And where is my humility?

  469. Brother Jim: And we're going to talk about integrity next week.

  470. Brother Jim: Offer somebody something.

  471. Brother Jim: And, uh, that that's something you raised, David.

  472. David: Yeah. Sorry.

  473. David: Your audio was cutting out, so I

  474. David: was fiddling with some stuff

  475. David: over here.

  476. David: Oh. You're good.

  477. David: Yeah, I think it has a lot to do with how we were raised.

  478. David: You said.

  479. David: Yeah.

  480. David: Yeah, I think so.

  481. Brother Jim: Examples by our parents.

  482. Brother Jim: Our grandparents.

  483. Brother Jim: Yeah.

  484. Brother Jim: Those mentors in our life.

  485. Brother Jim: Because if a child to me, if

  486. Brother Jim: they're not raised, if they

  487. Brother Jim: don't have an example of seeing

  488. Brother Jim: why, you know, that person gets

  489. Brother Jim: the biggest piece of cake

  490. Brother Jim: instead of herself, they're

  491. Brother Jim: always going to want the biggest

  492. Brother Jim: cake, right?

  493. Brother Jim: I think that's just human nature.

  494. Brother Jim: You know, we want, we want, we want.

  495. Brother Jim: And, uh, you know, would I be willing if I got a twenty two

  496. Brother Jim: ounce ribeye in here?

  497. Brother Jim: Would I be willing to split it with David?

  498. Brother Jim: Ah, now the pressure's on.

  499. Brother Jim: Yes, yes, I would.

  500. Brother Jim: Would I give David the best piece?

  501. Brother Jim: Yeah I would so again, you know, food is easy.

  502. Brother Jim: Well, for most people, but for

  503. Brother Jim: some people my wife, she does

  504. Brother Jim: not share.

  505. Brother Jim: But you know what I mean.

  506. Brother Jim: What what do we give?

  507. Brother Jim: Uh, so start thinking about humility.

  508. Brother Jim: It's not a weakness.

  509. Brother Jim: It's a strength under control in love and action.

  510. Brother Jim: Humility also reminds you and I that everything we have comes

  511. Brother Jim: from God and how true that is.

  512. Brother Jim: Again, I think that's something we've lost.

  513. Brother Jim: It all comes from God.

  514. Brother Jim: We work hard, we earn it, but it comes from God.

  515. Brother Jim: Our blessings, our talents, our

  516. Brother Jim: opportunities and achievements,

  517. Brother Jim: our gifts.

  518. Brother Jim: And when we recognize this pride, yes, good old pride fades

  519. Brother Jim: and gratitude grows.

  520. Brother Jim: Think about that.

  521. Brother Jim: Pride fades and gratitude grows.

  522. Brother Jim: And finally, humility brings us closer to God.

  523. Brother Jim: And James four ten, we're told, humble yourselves before the

  524. Brother Jim: Lord, and he will lift you up.

  525. Brother Jim: When we lower ourselves before God, he raises us.

  526. Brother Jim: He raises you and I in ways that truly matter.

  527. Brother Jim: So there's a self check right there.

  528. Brother Jim: What truly matters in your life?

  529. Brother Jim: Check out Sunday morning service.

  530. Brother Jim: There we were talking about alignment.

  531. Brother Jim: Is your heart, your soul aligned with God?

  532. Brother Jim: And I reference to your car.

  533. Brother Jim: If it's out of alignment, what happens?

  534. Brother Jim: You're going to be eating up

  535. Brother Jim: tires and doing damage to your

  536. Brother Jim: front end.

  537. Brother Jim: So the question is, do you go cheap and just throw on some

  538. Brother Jim: twenty dollars Tires.

  539. Brother Jim: Or do you bite the bullet and get yourself a line.

  540. Brother Jim: Get that vehicle aligned so you are traveling straight.

  541. Brother Jim: Not doing more damage.

  542. Brother Jim: So today let us choose humility

  543. Brother Jim: to listen more, serve more and

  544. Brother Jim: love more.

  545. Brother Jim: For in God's kingdom, the humble are the ones who are truly,

  546. Brother Jim: truly, truly great.

  547. Brother Jim: So let me ask you a challenge.

  548. Brother Jim: What can you do today?

  549. Brother Jim: One thing this week, let's just say this week that you can show

  550. Brother Jim: humility and serve someone else.

  551. Brother Jim: There's a challenge.

  552. Brother Jim: Let us know, please.

  553. Brother Jim: That goes for David and myself.

  554. Brother Jim: We'll try to do something there that humbles ourselves but also

  555. Brother Jim: serves somebody else.

  556. Brother Jim: Now, it doesn't have to be writing a check for one thousand

  557. Brother Jim: dollars, unless you'd like to donate to Bible bibs in a prayer

  558. Brother Jim: or, you know, gift us with some serious T-Bone steaks or, you

  559. Brother Jim: know, Tomahawk or, you know, whatever, whatever you felt led

  560. Brother Jim: to bring us.

  561. David: However the spirit leads you.

  562. Brother Jim: Yeah. Wherever the spirit leads you.

  563. Brother Jim: But yeah, do something good guarantee, especially if you're

  564. Brother Jim: feeling down, it'll definitely lift your spirits.

  565. Brother Jim: Well, that just about does it for this.

  566. Brother Jim: Tuesday, March seventeenth, twenty twenty six.

  571. David: And lately I've been being humbled by the equipment here.

  572. David: It's like, how do you react, right?

  573. David: You can you can either, you know, get all mad and bent out

  590. Brother Jim: But again, ask for help.

  591. Brother Jim: Why screw things up even worse?

  592. Brother Jim: And let's be honest, I think we're all capable of screwing

  593. Brother Jim: things up in our life.
