When<00:32:01.880><c> a</c><00:32:02.059><c> problem</c><00:32:02.259><c> arises,</c><00:32:03.099><c> take</c><00:32:03.380><c> the</c><00:32:03.680><c> time</c><00:32:03.940><c> in</c><00:32:04.079><c> your</c><00:32:04.279><c> life</c><00:32:04.700><c> to</c>

00:32:05.259 --> 00:32:05.839
solve<00:32:05.519><c> it,</c>

00:32:05.980 --> 00:32:10.119
to<00:32:06.680><c> correct</c><00:32:06.960><c> it,</c><00:32:07.339><c> to</c><00:32:07.460><c> do</c><00:32:07.579><c> whatever</c><00:32:07.819><c> you</c><00:32:08.099><c> can</c><00:32:08.359><c> to</c><00:32:08.740><c> make</c><00:32:09.079><c> it</c><00:32:09.319><c> right</c><00:32:09.480><c> with</c><00:32:09.680><c> God,</c>

00:32:10.119 --> 00:32:13.460
and<00:32:10.779><c> make</c><00:32:10.920><c> it</c><00:32:11.119><c> right</c><00:32:11.240><c> with</c><00:32:11.380><c> those</c><00:32:11.599><c> around</c><00:32:11.900><c> you.</c>

00:32:13.599 --> 00:32:16.960
And<00:32:13.880><c> then</c><00:32:14.220><c> go</c><00:32:14.440><c> ahead</c><00:32:15.019><c> and</c><00:32:15.799><c> have</c><00:32:15.920><c> some</c><00:32:16.140><c> fun.</c>

00:32:17.900 --> 00:32:19.380
It<00:32:17.960><c> was</c><00:32:18.119><c> classic</c><00:32:18.440><c> when</c><00:32:18.579><c> I</c><00:32:18.640><c> was</c><00:32:18.759><c> a</c><00:32:18.819><c> kid.</c>

00:32:20.000 --> 00:32:23.519
My<00:32:20.220><c> parents</c><00:32:20.420><c> had</c><00:32:21.539><c> a</c><00:32:21.740><c> simple</c><00:32:22.019><c> answer</c><00:32:22.319><c> to</c><00:32:22.480><c> every</c><00:32:22.640><c> question.</c>

00:32:23.799 --> 00:32:24.859
What<00:32:23.900><c> was</c><00:32:24.019><c> that</c><00:32:24.180><c> simple</c><00:32:24.319><c> answer</c><00:32:24.480><c> to</c><00:32:24.500><c> every</c><00:32:24.660><c> question?</c>

00:32:24.900 --> 00:32:25.539
Jim's<00:32:25.200><c> a</c><00:32:25.279><c> parent.</c>

00:32:25.940 --> 00:32:27.640
The<00:32:26.039><c> answer</c><00:32:26.200><c> is,</c><00:32:26.839><c> no.</c>

00:32:28.680 --> 00:32:30.519
Mom<00:32:28.859><c> and</c><00:32:28.900><c> dad,</c><00:32:29.220><c> can</c><00:32:29.220><c> I?</c><00:32:29.619><c> No.</c>

00:32:31.160 --> 00:32:33.039
All<00:32:31.339><c> the</c><00:32:31.460><c> guys</c><00:32:31.579><c> are</c><00:32:31.720><c> going</c><00:32:31.819><c> to,</c><00:32:31.980><c> no.</c>

00:32:33.319 --> 00:32:33.880
It<00:32:33.420><c> was</c><00:32:33.539><c> simple.</c>

00:32:34.359 --> 00:32:36.079
Whatever<00:32:34.619><c> I</c><00:32:34.900><c> asked,</c><00:32:35.140><c> it</c><00:32:35.240><c> was</c><00:32:35.440><c> like,</c><00:32:36.079><c> no.</c>

00:32:36.359 --> 00:32:38.279
That<00:32:36.579><c> was</c><00:32:36.819><c> their</c><00:32:37.319><c> response.</c>

00:32:38.539 --> 00:32:40.160
We're<00:32:38.940><c> having</c><00:32:39.140><c> a</c><00:32:39.400><c> Bible</c><00:32:39.740><c> study.</c>

00:32:40.240 --> 00:32:41.099
Can<00:32:40.400><c> I</c><00:32:40.519><c> go</c><00:32:40.700><c> over</c><00:32:40.900><c> there?</c>

00:32:41.319 --> 00:32:42.220
No.

00:32:43.839 --> 00:32:47.680
So<00:32:44.240><c> what</c><00:32:44.640><c> I</c><00:32:44.859><c> did,</c><00:32:45.859><c> I</c><00:32:45.960><c> was</c><00:32:46.140><c> a</c><00:32:46.759><c> typical</c><00:32:47.380><c> teenager.</c>

00:32:47.799 --> 00:32:49.400
My<00:32:47.880><c> kids</c><00:32:48.039><c> aren't</c><00:32:48.200><c> here,</c><00:32:48.359><c> so</c><00:32:48.500><c> I'll</c><00:32:48.700><c> go</c><00:32:48.779><c> ahead</c><00:32:49.079><c> and</c><00:32:49.079><c> confess</c><00:32:49.299><c> to</c>

00:32:49.400 --> 00:32:49.920
you<00:32:49.440><c> what</c><00:32:49.559><c> I</c><00:32:49.640><c> did.</c>

00:32:50.420 --> 00:32:51.940
I<00:32:50.599><c> would</c><00:32:50.700><c> just</c><00:32:50.900><c> go.</c>

00:32:52.680 --> 00:32:53.539
I'd<00:32:52.980><c> just</c><00:32:53.099><c> go.</c>

00:32:53.960 --> 00:32:58.500
And<00:32:54.119><c> then</c><00:32:54.460><c> when</c><00:32:54.619><c> I</c><00:32:54.759><c> came</c><00:32:54.920><c> back,</c><00:32:56.440><c> oh,</c><00:32:56.619><c> there'd</c><00:32:57.000><c> be</c><00:32:57.200><c> trouble,</c><00:32:58.019><c> right?</c>

00:32:58.819 --> 00:33:01.519
But<00:32:59.220><c> I</c><00:32:59.279><c> just</c><00:32:59.660><c> would</c><00:32:59.839><c> go,</c><00:33:00.380><c> and</c><00:33:00.380><c> I'd,</c><00:33:00.539><c> you</c><00:33:00.799><c> know,</c><00:33:00.799><c> I'll</c><00:33:00.940><c> deal</c><00:33:01.099><c> with</c><00:33:01.220><c> it</c><00:33:01.299><c> later.</c>

00:33:01.539 --> 00:33:04.319
And<00:33:01.680><c> I'd</c><00:33:01.799><c> come</c><00:33:01.980><c> back</c><00:33:02.180><c> in</c><00:33:02.319><c> the</c><00:33:02.420><c> house,</c><00:33:02.680><c> and</c><00:33:02.779><c> it</c><00:33:02.859><c> was</c><00:33:03.059><c> like,</c><00:33:04.319><c> ah.</c>

00:33:04.539 --> 00:33:07.140
And<00:33:04.859><c> you</c><00:33:05.579><c> dealt</c><00:33:05.799><c> with</c><00:33:06.000><c> all</c><00:33:06.119><c> this,</c><00:33:06.299><c> and</c><00:33:06.380><c> you</c><00:33:06.480><c> got</c><00:33:06.680><c> punished,</c>

00:33:07.140 --> 00:33:09.359
and<00:33:07.339><c> you</c><00:33:07.420><c> did</c><00:33:07.559><c> this,</c><00:33:07.960><c> and</c><00:33:08.119><c> grounded,</c><00:33:08.759><c> and</c><00:33:08.880><c> you</c><00:33:08.980><c> couldn't</c><00:33:09.160><c> take</c>

00:33:09.359 --> 00:33:10.299
the<00:33:09.500><c> snowmobile</c><00:33:09.720><c> for</c><00:33:09.980><c> a</c><00:33:10.099><c> week,</c>

00:33:10.380 --> 00:33:12.119
and<00:33:10.539><c> all</c><00:33:10.680><c> those</c><00:33:10.799><c> kind</c><00:33:10.960><c> of</c><00:33:11.059><c> things,</c><00:33:11.259><c> right?</c>

00:33:13.960 --> 00:33:14.859
Hello?

00:33:15.000 --> 00:33:16.299
Was<00:33:15.200><c> that</c><00:33:15.400><c> stupid?</c>

00:33:17.059 --> 00:33:18.180
I<00:33:17.279><c> mean,</c><00:33:17.339><c> I</c><00:33:17.460><c> was</c><00:33:17.519><c> so</c><00:33:17.740><c> stupid.</c>

00:33:18.400 --> 00:33:21.039
Let<00:33:18.559><c> me</c><00:33:18.599><c> look</c><00:33:18.779><c> back</c><00:33:19.000><c> at</c><00:33:19.079><c> it,</c><00:33:19.180><c> and</c><00:33:19.200><c> I</c><00:33:19.299><c> think,</c><00:33:20.059><c> why</c><00:33:20.660><c> wouldn't</c><00:33:20.920><c> I?</c>

00:33:21.140 --> 00:33:25.480
Okay,<00:33:21.579><c> it</c><00:33:21.579><c> was,</c><00:33:22.779><c> you</c><00:33:22.839><c> know,</c><00:33:24.500><c> there'd</c><00:33:24.700><c> be</c><00:33:24.839><c> tension</c><00:33:25.140><c> in</c><00:33:25.380><c> the</c>

00:33:25.480 --> 00:33:25.980
air,<00:33:25.839><c> right?</c>

00:33:25.980 --> 00:33:27.500
I'd<00:33:26.220><c> pose</c><00:33:26.420><c> the</c><00:33:26.619><c> question.</c>

00:33:27.559 --> 00:33:33.359
I'd<00:33:27.960><c> like</c><00:33:28.119><c> to</c><00:33:28.339><c> go</c><00:33:28.700><c> bowling</c><00:33:29.039><c> tonight,</c><00:33:29.940><c> and</c><00:33:30.079><c> there's</c><00:33:30.220><c> like</c><00:33:30.420><c> this</c><00:33:30.599><c> big...</c>

00:33:33.579 --> 00:33:37.140
Well,<00:33:34.059><c> to</c><00:33:34.539><c> avoid</c><00:33:34.819><c> that</c><00:33:35.119><c> tension,</c><00:33:35.579><c> to</c><00:33:35.640><c> avoid</c><00:33:35.859><c> that</c><00:33:36.200><c> stress,</c>

00:33:37.220 --> 00:33:41.480
to<00:33:37.339><c> avoid</c><00:33:37.740><c> having</c><00:33:38.180><c> to</c><00:33:38.480><c> confront</c><00:33:38.819><c> that,</c><00:33:39.440><c> I</c><00:33:39.480><c> would</c><00:33:39.559><c> just</c><00:33:39.759><c> avoid</c><00:33:40.019><c> it.</c>

00:33:42.380 --> 00:33:46.539
It<00:33:42.640><c> would</c><00:33:42.740><c> be</c><00:33:42.880><c> so</c><00:33:42.980><c> much</c><00:33:43.160><c> better</c><00:33:43.720><c> if</c><00:33:44.019><c> I'd</c><00:33:44.299><c> just</c><00:33:44.960><c> gone</c><00:33:45.200><c> on</c><00:33:45.460><c> with</c><00:33:45.660><c> that.</c>

00:33:47.440 --> 00:33:50.680
If<00:33:47.619><c> I'd</c><00:33:48.240><c> said</c><00:33:48.380><c> it,</c><00:33:48.839><c> instead</c><00:33:49.000><c> of</c><00:33:49.099><c> having</c><00:33:49.319><c> this</c><00:33:49.920><c> cloud</c><00:33:50.339><c> hanging</c>

00:33:53.380 --> 00:33:56.619
if<00:33:53.559><c> I'd</c><00:33:53.720><c> just</c><00:33:54.240><c> talked</c><00:33:54.440><c> to</c><00:33:54.579><c> my</c><00:33:54.779><c> parents,</c><00:33:55.740><c> gone</c><00:33:55.940><c> through</c><00:33:56.259><c> this</c>

00:34:06.319 --> 00:34:10.119
A<00:34:06.460><c> classic</c><00:34:06.720><c> example,</c><00:34:07.140><c> I</c><00:34:07.200><c> think,</c><00:34:07.740><c> of</c><00:34:07.920><c> not</c><00:34:08.260><c> delaying</c><00:34:08.820><c> gratification.</c>

00:34:10.960 --> 00:34:14.139
What's<00:34:11.179><c> the</c><00:34:11.340><c> classic</c><00:34:11.739><c> example</c><00:34:12.139><c> of</c><00:34:12.320><c> not</c><00:34:12.539><c> delaying</c><00:34:12.980><c> gratification?</c>

00:34:15.739 --> 00:34:18.980
Premarital<00:34:16.260><c> sex,</c><00:34:17.699><c> right?</c>

00:34:20.280 --> 00:34:22.260
And<00:34:20.599><c> unwanted</c><00:34:21.000><c> pregnancies.</c>

00:34:22.340 --> 00:34:26.800
Two<00:34:22.559><c> people</c><00:34:23.199><c> honestly</c><00:34:23.860><c> do</c><00:34:24.179><c> love</c><00:34:24.360><c> each</c><00:34:24.579><c> other,</c><00:34:26.420><c> and</c><00:34:26.659><c> maybe</c>
