on<00:00:04.980><c> the</c><00:00:05.080><c> Roof.</c>

00:00:07.080 --> 00:00:10.660
And<00:00:07.519><c> I</c><00:00:07.599><c> don't</c><00:00:07.799><c> know</c><00:00:08.060><c> if</c><00:00:08.259><c> any</c><00:00:08.480><c> of</c><00:00:08.580><c> you</c><00:00:08.679><c> have</c><00:00:08.859><c> been</c><00:00:09.060><c> to</c><00:00:09.500><c> an</c><00:00:09.779><c> elementary</c><00:00:10.300><c> school</c>

performance<00:00:11.240><c> of</c><00:00:11.619><c> anything,</c>

00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:19.679
but<00:00:14.080><c> it's</c><00:00:14.800><c> not</c><00:00:15.019><c> exactly</c><00:00:15.699><c> something</c><00:00:16.239><c> that</c><00:00:16.579><c> is</c><00:00:17.440><c> culturally</c><00:00:18.160><c> enriching.</c>

00:00:19.719 --> 00:00:22.679
So<00:00:19.920><c> I</c><00:00:20.460><c> wasn't</c><00:00:20.679><c> looking</c><00:00:21.059><c> forward</c><00:00:21.460><c> to</c><00:00:21.660><c> it.</c>

00:00:23.300 --> 00:00:27.579
But<00:00:23.579><c> there's</c><00:00:23.839><c> three</c><00:00:24.120><c> things</c><00:00:24.420><c> that</c><00:00:24.780><c> stood</c><00:00:25.019><c> out</c><00:00:25.760><c> afterwards</c><00:00:26.440><c> and</c><00:00:27.140><c> still</c><00:00:27.399><c> to</c>

00:00:27.579 --> 00:00:29.219
this<00:00:27.800><c> day</c><00:00:28.019><c> stand</c><00:00:28.339><c> out</c><00:00:28.620><c> to</c><00:00:28.800><c> me.</c>

00:00:29.219 --> 00:00:31.039
Number<00:00:29.820><c> one,</c><00:00:30.079><c> it</c><00:00:30.120><c> was</c><00:00:30.339><c> fantastic.</c>

00:00:31.500 --> 00:00:33.979
It<00:00:31.719><c> was</c><00:00:32.100><c> beyond</c><00:00:32.619><c> expectation.</c>

00:00:34.380 --> 00:00:35.840
The<00:00:34.579><c> kids</c><00:00:34.920><c> were</c><00:00:35.280><c> amazing.</c>

00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:39.759
They're<00:00:36.240><c> acting,</c><00:00:36.899><c> they're</c><00:00:37.100><c> singing,</c><00:00:38.219><c> the</c><00:00:38.560><c> costumes,</c><00:00:39.500><c> the</c>

00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:43.100
set,<00:00:40.320><c> everything</c><00:00:40.719><c> was</c><00:00:41.659><c> beyond</c><00:00:42.240><c> expectation.</c>

00:00:43.179 --> 00:00:44.859
It<00:00:43.320><c> was</c><00:00:43.560><c> fantastic.</c>

00:00:45.859 --> 00:00:48.619
Another<00:00:46.140><c> thing</c><00:00:46.359><c> that</c><00:00:46.600><c> stands</c><00:00:46.840><c> out</c><00:00:47.079><c> was</c><00:00:47.299><c> Rachel's</c><00:00:47.820><c> cousin.</c>

00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:52.420
He<00:00:49.420><c> was</c><00:00:49.640><c> in</c><00:00:49.799><c> grade</c><00:00:49.960><c> six</c><00:00:50.240><c> at</c><00:00:50.420><c> the</c><00:00:50.600><c> time</c><00:00:50.840><c> and</c><00:00:51.000><c> he</c><00:00:51.700><c> didn't</c><00:00:52.000><c> have</c><00:00:52.200><c> a</c>

major<00:00:52.719><c> role.</c>

00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:55.840
In<00:00:53.100><c> fact,</c><00:00:53.299><c> he</c><00:00:53.399><c> had</c><00:00:53.520><c> a</c><00:00:53.820><c> minor</c><00:00:54.140><c> role,</c><00:00:54.399><c> but</c><00:00:54.600><c> to</c><00:00:54.859><c> me,</c><00:00:55.079><c> he</c><00:00:55.219><c> was</c><00:00:55.479><c> the</c>

star<00:00:56.060><c> of</c><00:00:56.280><c> the</c><00:00:56.439><c> show.</c>

00:00:57.439 --> 00:01:00.000
Because<00:00:57.820><c> there</c><00:00:58.100><c> was</c><00:00:58.299><c> this</c><00:00:58.579><c> scene</c><00:00:58.780><c> where</c><00:00:58.960><c> they</c><00:00:59.119><c> were</c><00:00:59.299><c> all</c><00:00:59.479><c> doing</c><00:00:59.700><c> this</c>

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:02.399

00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:06.939
and<00:01:02.960><c> they'd</c><00:01:03.179><c> all</c><00:01:03.280><c> go</c><00:01:03.460><c> down</c><00:01:03.759><c> and</c><00:01:03.920><c> then</c><00:01:04.019><c> they'd</c><00:01:04.400><c> pop</c><00:01:04.620><c> up</c><00:01:05.019><c> all</c><00:01:05.579><c> synchronized,</c><00:01:06.760><c> the</c>

00:01:06.939 --> 00:01:08.379
whole<00:01:07.260><c> stage.</c>

00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:11.780
But<00:01:09.099><c> her</c><00:01:09.540><c> cousin</c><00:01:09.859><c> didn't</c><00:01:10.180><c> quite</c><00:01:10.480><c> have</c><00:01:10.680><c> it</c><00:01:11.000><c> right.</c>

00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:14.400
When<00:01:12.200><c> everyone</c><00:01:12.519><c> else</c><00:01:12.799><c> was</c><00:01:13.120><c> up,</c><00:01:13.379><c> he</c><00:01:13.540><c> was</c><00:01:13.799><c> down.</c>

00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:18.099
And<00:01:15.359><c> then</c><00:01:15.540><c> when</c><00:01:15.719><c> everyone</c><00:01:16.019><c> went</c><00:01:16.219><c> down,</c><00:01:16.700><c> he</c><00:01:16.920><c> was</c><00:01:17.200><c> up</c><00:01:17.540><c> and</c><00:01:17.920><c> the</c>

00:01:18.099 --> 00:01:20.260

00:01:21.060 --> 00:01:27.219
So,<00:01:22.760><c> the</c><00:01:23.060><c> third</c><00:01:23.420><c> thing</c><00:01:23.799><c> that</c><00:01:24.099><c> stood</c><00:01:24.260><c> out</c><00:01:24.519><c> and</c><00:01:24.859><c> the</c><00:01:25.060><c> reason</c><00:01:25.299><c> I</c><00:01:25.480><c> tell</c><00:01:25.680><c> this</c><00:01:25.939><c> story,</c><00:01:27.000><c> I</c>

don't<00:01:27.420><c> know</c><00:01:27.500><c> if</c>

00:01:41.060 --> 00:01:44.299
If<00:01:41.319><c> I</c><00:01:41.579><c> were</c><00:01:41.739><c> a</c><00:01:41.920><c> rich</c><00:01:42.159><c> man,</c><00:01:42.540><c> you</c><00:01:42.739><c> may</c><00:01:42.939><c> know</c><00:01:43.140><c> the</c><00:01:43.359><c> song.</c>

00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:50.200
And<00:01:46.040><c> he</c><00:01:46.519><c> has</c><00:01:46.840><c> this</c><00:01:47.180><c> line,</c><00:01:47.500><c> this</c><00:01:47.959><c> stands</c><00:01:48.299><c> in</c><00:01:48.640><c> it,</c><00:01:49.219><c> that</c><00:01:49.400><c> just</c><00:01:49.700><c> stood</c><00:01:49.879><c> out</c><00:01:50.079><c> to</c>

So<00:08:44.139><c> this</c><00:08:44.320><c> is</c><00:08:44.539><c> my</c><00:08:44.779><c> plan</c><00:08:45.080><c> and</c><00:08:45.379><c> I</c><00:08:45.559><c> hope</c><00:08:45.899><c> it's</c><00:08:46.440><c> okay</c><00:08:46.659><c> with</c><00:08:46.860><c> you</c><00:08:47.200><c> because</c><00:08:47.419><c> it's</c>

There's<00:08:53.460><c> a</c><00:08:53.620><c> book</c><00:08:53.740><c> that</c><00:08:53.919><c> was</c><00:08:54.100><c> written.</c>

00:08:56.200 --> 00:09:01.580

00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:21.359
Imagine<00:17:17.440><c> back</c><00:17:17.759><c> then</c><00:17:17.980><c> what</c><00:17:18.140><c> it</c><00:17:18.279><c> was</c><00:17:18.480><c> like</c><00:17:18.660><c> to</c><00:17:18.920><c> hear</c><00:17:19.079><c> that,</c><00:17:21.180><c> and</c>

how<00:17:21.519><c> they</c><00:17:21.680><c> would</c><00:17:21.839><c> have,</c><00:17:22.119><c> what</c><00:17:22.460><c> is</c><00:17:22.680><c> he</c>

00:17:23.859 --> 00:17:26.880
Some<00:17:24.640><c> of</c><00:17:24.859><c> them</c><00:17:24.980><c> just</c><00:17:25.400><c> wouldn't</c><00:17:25.619><c> have</c><00:17:25.900><c> understood</c><00:17:26.299><c> it,</c><00:17:26.619><c> maybe</c>

00:17:29.660 --> 00:17:32.960
So<00:17:29.880><c> it's</c><00:17:30.119><c> met</c><00:17:30.319><c> with</c><00:17:30.599><c> frustration,</c><00:17:31.519><c> it's</c><00:17:31.680><c> met</c><00:17:31.880><c> with</c><00:17:32.339><c> grumbling</c>

and<00:17:33.259><c> confusion.</c>

00:17:35.259 --> 00:17:38.059
And<00:17:35.480><c> if</c><00:17:35.559><c> it</c><00:17:35.740><c> wasn't</c><00:17:35.960><c> the</c><00:17:36.319><c> difficult</c><00:17:36.779><c> teachings</c><00:17:37.259><c> that</c><00:17:37.759><c> Christ</c>
