00:02:04.379 --> 00:02:05.840
they<00:02:04.659><c> fell</c><00:02:04.859><c> asleep.</c>

00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:10.500
And<00:02:06.659><c> they</c><00:02:07.019><c> missed</c><00:02:07.420><c> that</c><00:02:07.799><c> important</c><00:02:08.620><c> key,</c><00:02:09.699><c> and</c><00:02:09.860><c> they</c><00:02:10.099><c> awoke</c>

00:02:10.500 --> 00:02:12.479
and<00:02:10.939><c> beheld</c><00:02:11.159><c> his</c><00:02:11.400><c> glory</c><00:02:11.840><c> and</c><00:02:12.199><c> the</c><00:02:12.360><c> things</c>

00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:14.340
of<00:02:12.639><c> the</c><00:02:12.780><c> kingdom,</c><00:02:12.979><c> and</c><00:02:13.099><c> they</c><00:02:13.180><c> were</c><00:02:13.300><c> all</c><00:02:13.439><c> for</c><00:02:13.599><c> that.</c>

00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:17.580
What<00:02:14.599><c> a</c><00:02:14.759><c> pity</c><00:02:14.900><c> they</c><00:02:15.039><c> went</c><00:02:15.219><c> to</c><00:02:15.439><c> sleep</c><00:02:15.659><c> just</c><00:02:16.099><c> through</c><00:02:16.479><c> the</c><00:02:16.900><c> important</c><00:02:17.319><c> parts</c>

00:02:17.580 --> 00:02:19.080
of<00:02:17.759><c> the</c><00:02:17.900><c> conversation.</c>

00:02:19.180 --> 00:02:23.219
And<00:02:19.400><c> then</c><00:02:19.620><c> in</c><00:02:19.819><c> the</c><00:02:20.039><c> Garden</c><00:02:20.300><c> of</c><00:02:20.500><c> Gethsemane,</c><00:02:21.439><c> three</c><00:02:21.960><c> times,</c>

00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:25.259
and<00:02:23.800><c> Peter</c><00:02:24.020><c> didn't</c><00:02:24.419><c> know,</c><00:02:24.780><c> and</c><00:02:24.939><c> the</c><00:02:25.020><c> others</c>

00:02:25.259 --> 00:02:27.560
didn't<00:02:25.520><c> know,</c><00:02:26.680><c> what</c><00:02:26.979><c> to</c><00:02:27.300><c> say.</c>

00:02:27.939 --> 00:02:28.860
They<00:02:28.099><c> were</c><00:02:28.340><c> so</c><00:02:28.560><c> embarrassed.</c>

00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:30.539
So,<00:02:29.120><c> brethren</c><00:02:29.280><c> and</c><00:02:29.439><c> sisters,</c><00:02:29.659><c> we're</c><00:02:29.740><c> all</c><00:02:29.879><c> in</c><00:02:30.060><c> the</c><00:02:30.099><c> same</c><00:02:30.319><c> boat.</c>

00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:33.539
The<00:02:30.819><c> disciples</c><00:02:31.219><c> were</c><00:02:31.639><c> at</c><00:02:32.039><c> those</c><00:02:32.259><c> key</c><00:02:32.580><c> times</c><00:02:32.900><c> in</c><00:02:33.060><c> the</c><00:02:33.199><c> life</c><00:02:33.340><c> of</c>

the<00:02:33.659><c> Lord.</c>

00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:36.099
Unfortunately,<00:02:34.759><c> they</c><00:02:35.000><c> fell</c><00:02:35.180><c> asleep.</c>

00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:40.460
All<00:02:36.979><c> I</c><00:02:37.180><c> ask</c><00:02:37.280><c> is</c><00:02:37.800><c> that</c><00:02:38.199><c> you</c><00:02:38.319><c> don't</c><00:02:38.560><c> actually</c><00:02:39.219><c> snore.</c>

00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:51.560
