00:01:02.100 --> 00:01:05.840
If<00:01:02.439><c> you</c><00:01:02.640><c> were</c><00:01:02.820><c> to</c><00:01:02.939><c> write</c><00:01:03.200><c> out</c><00:01:03.460><c> the</c><00:01:03.520><c> word</c><00:01:03.899><c> W</c><00:01:03.899><c>-O</c><00:01:04.540><c>-L</c><00:01:04.739><c>-F</c><00:01:05.040><c> and</c><00:01:05.180><c> you</c><00:01:05.260><c> were</c><00:01:05.420><c> German,</c><00:01:05.780><c> you</c>

00:01:08.180 --> 00:01:11.900
but<00:01:08.359><c> you</c><00:01:08.459><c> would</c><00:01:08.719><c> say</c><00:01:09.019><c> Walf</c><00:01:09.780><c> if</c><00:01:10.439><c> you</c><00:01:10.599><c> were</c><00:01:10.739><c> a</c><00:01:10.859><c> Texan.</c>

00:01:13.700 --> 00:01:16.620

00:01:17.980 --> 00:01:22.319
I<00:01:18.400><c> have</c><00:01:18.620><c> been</c><00:01:18.859><c> called</c><00:01:19.120><c> Dev</c><00:01:19.459><c> by</c><00:01:20.680><c> almost</c><00:01:21.159><c> everyone</c><00:01:21.420><c> that</c><00:01:21.599><c> I</c><00:01:21.719><c> know</c>

00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:24.900

00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:28.379
I<00:01:25.219><c> answer</c><00:01:25.500><c> to</c><00:01:25.680><c> either</c><00:01:25.920><c> of</c><00:01:26.060><c> the</c><00:01:26.219><c> two,</c><00:01:26.840><c> just</c><00:01:27.180><c> say</c><00:01:27.620><c> a</c><00:01:28.019><c> point</c><00:01:28.200><c> when</c>

you<00:01:28.579><c> say</c><00:01:28.719><c> it,</c>

00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:30.500
so<00:01:29.379><c> I</c><00:01:29.480><c> know</c><00:01:29.659><c> who</c><00:01:29.799><c> you're</c><00:01:29.980><c> talking</c><00:01:30.299><c> to.</c>

00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:33.879
It's<00:01:30.859><c> never</c><00:01:31.060><c> David,</c><00:01:32.180><c> because</c><00:01:32.500><c> that</c><00:01:32.680><c> was</c><00:01:32.840><c> my</c><00:01:33.099><c> cousin's</c><00:01:33.640><c> name,</c>

00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:37.079

00:01:37.299 --> 00:01:40.659
I<00:01:37.579><c> was</c><00:01:37.780><c> not</c><00:01:37.959><c> him,</c><00:01:38.819><c> so</c><00:01:39.299><c> I'm</c><00:01:39.780><c> different.</c>

00:01:40.700 --> 00:01:42.980
You<00:01:40.799><c> can</c><00:01:40.980><c> call</c><00:01:41.060><c> me</c><00:01:41.260><c> Dev</c><00:01:41.540><c> or</c><00:01:41.760><c> call</c><00:01:41.939><c> me</c><00:01:42.159><c> Dave.</c>

00:01:43.319 --> 00:01:44.560
It<00:01:43.459><c> doesn't</c><00:01:43.719><c> matter</c><00:01:43.980><c> to</c><00:01:44.159><c> me.</c>

00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:45.920
It's<00:01:44.819><c> not</c><00:01:44.980><c> important.</c>

00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:51.340
And<00:01:47.640><c> I'll</c><00:01:47.840><c> start</c><00:01:48.060><c> with</c><00:01:48.219><c> a</c><00:01:48.379><c> joke,</c><00:01:49.099><c> and</c><00:01:49.900><c> I</c><00:01:50.019><c> hope</c><00:01:50.159><c> you</c><00:01:50.239><c> don't</c><00:01:50.879><c> feel</c>

00:01:51.340 --> 00:01:53.159

00:01:53.299 --> 00:01:55.640
but<00:01:53.439><c> you</c><00:01:53.540><c> may</c><00:01:53.780><c> find</c><00:01:54.000><c> it</c><00:01:54.200><c> a</c><00:01:54.239><c> little</c><00:01:54.459><c> bit</c><00:01:54.879><c> applicable</c><00:01:55.280><c> to</c><00:01:55.519><c> some</c>

00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:02.140
How<00:02:00.000><c> do</c><00:02:00.180><c> you</c><00:02:00.319><c> make</c><00:02:00.620><c> God</c><00:02:01.000><c> laugh?</c>

00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:05.180
Does<00:02:03.620><c> anybody</c><00:02:03.739><c> know</c><00:02:03.939><c> the</c><00:02:04.000><c> answer</c><00:02:04.219><c> to</c><00:02:04.340><c> that?</c>

00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:08.079
Tell<00:02:06.180><c> him</c><00:02:06.359><c> your</c><00:02:06.680><c> plans.</c>

00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:17.000
We're<00:02:13.599><c> going</c><00:02:13.719><c> to</c><00:02:13.819><c> go</c><00:02:13.919><c> now</c><00:02:14.099><c> to</c><00:02:14.259><c> 1st</c><00:02:14.520><c> Corinthians,</c><00:02:14.979><c> Chapter</c><00:02:15.240><c> 11.</c>

00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:21.599
We'll<00:02:18.039><c> be</c><00:02:18.219><c> looking</c><00:02:18.419><c> at</c><00:02:18.620><c> Verses</c><00:02:19.020><c> 31</c><00:02:19.599><c> and</c><00:02:20.139><c> 32.</c>

00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:38.060
If<00:02:36.000><c> we</c><00:02:36.180><c> would</c><00:02:36.439><c> judge</c><00:02:36.680><c> ourselves,</c>

00:02:38.139 --> 00:02:40.400
we<00:02:38.659><c> should</c><00:02:38.840><c> not</c><00:02:39.099><c> be</c><00:02:39.319><c> judged.</c>

00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:46.020
But<00:02:41.259><c> when</c><00:02:41.479><c> we</c><00:02:41.740><c> are</c><00:02:42.080><c> judged,</c><00:02:43.620><c> we</c><00:02:43.680><c> are</c><00:02:44.039><c> chastened</c><00:02:44.699><c> of</c><00:02:44.919><c> the</c><00:02:45.120><c> Lord</c>

00:02:57.580 --> 00:03:00.620
It's<00:02:57.699><c> not</c><00:02:57.840><c> just</c><00:02:58.080><c> the</c><00:02:58.240><c> one,</c><00:02:59.219><c> not</c><00:02:59.500><c> just</c><00:02:59.759><c> the</c><00:02:59.900><c> day</c><00:03:00.000><c> of</c><00:03:00.259><c> judgment</c>
