Oh, well, in the meantime of us using it, they're going to, like, China is going to just take everything from us. But they're doing that anyway. So what's new?

At this point, it's too late. All right. Come into us. And here we are. Hello. Okay. So what time is it, girls? Hey.

Hey. Yeah. What time it is. Okay girls? Hey. Hey. What time it is. Okay, so listen. It just so happens to be my favorite time of year. Is it? This should be a national holiday. Saturday, which is really going into Sunday. Why don't you play me my song?

Oh. Did you not do that? No. Are you kidding me? Can we just play it yes yes yes oh oh my gosh i'm like what is she talking about tracy no no no she's upset i know is this mic on yes mic's on you're on this is like gonna be this is this you might see me be really not happy right now. No, no, no, no, no, no. Don't be not happy right now.

I'm not happy. Oh, oh, oh, wrong, oh. And now, listen, it's almost over. So, this weekend is my favorite. And you know why this weekend's my favorite? Because we gain an hour. It's fall back. You see her scrambling?

You know why she's scrambling? Because I told her a couple days ago exactly what I wanted to do. Exactly what I wanted to do. Even the picture. And I even looked at the picture and I was like... Yep. Twice.

Twice. We've talked about this. Twice. Wait, did we? Twice? Yes. Twice. Are you sure?

It was twice. Are you sure? It was twice. Are you sure? We've talked about this. We talked about what we were going to do. Maybe I didn't tell you. I don't think that's good. Because you can't hear it. Oh, you can hear it.

Not the same way. It's loud. You promise? Tracy's, it's so loud. Tracy's hoping it's so loud. It's louder than you. And I wanted to don't loop. She can just stop. No, just turn it off.

It's done. That was so good. No, not really. Okay. She's upset. So we were going to turn back time, not really. That was so good. Okay. She's upset. So. We were going to turn back time, and we were going to loop it. Do you want me to just sing it?

No, please don't sing it. No. Well. So here's the thing. Saturday is my favorite, favorite day of the year. That's interesting. More than my birthday. I think it's more than my birthday.

In fact, Tom makes fun of me. I'm not kidding you. This was a big deal for me. I invested in clocks, people. No, that's true. Invested in daggum clocks. Okay. We're turning back the clocks on Saturday. Set your clocks back.

You get one hour. You know why I love this Saturday? I love Saturday because I get to sleep one more extra hour or I can either sleep. I can do get an hour extra work. That's what it is. I'm like, you're not sleeping an extra hour. You're working an extra hour. Just sleep that extra hour. I'm going to check with Norm with norma but but what i love about this day is i can do one more hour of things okay like i literally get 25 hours in one day see that's what i thought it was i'm super excited i love this day definitely i'm not real happy with her or her no her no thank you you can't see your finger

okay since i can't see your finger. No. Okay, since I can't do it. Yeah, exactly. You're free. You're off the hook. If you weren't the sweetest thing on the face of the earth, and if your heart wasn't so good, and your motives are so good.

Sean said good save. No, not really. But say, Sean, you're a sweet person. I know, I love him. Oh, this way. If she wasn't like the best, I might really not be happy. But whatever. I'd be fired and then rehired at some point. Yeah, I'll fire you and rehire you.

But yeah, we're going to turn back time, baby. We are. One hour, get an extra hour of sleep or an extra hour to get some stuff done. Or relax. I mean, some people will choose to relax. I, on the other hand, am in the middle of construction at my house. I can promise you I'm going to be painting one more extra hour. How's that coming?

But like I can get a lot done in an hour. Yeah. You're still painting? It's like you have no idea. Never ending. It's like, well, the thing is, is I don't have that much time to do it. So I am constantly, I get one day a week. And like today, I thought I would get some painting done.

Now, and then on Saturday, I might. I might because I have someone coming over whom we, a lot of us in the church know and love. I'm not going to say their name because I don't want to thrust a whole lot of work on them because they don't do this. They're doing it on the side for me. But he's coming over tomorrow and he is saving my hide on some construction stuff that I have to get done too.

Oh, there's so much work, people. And you haven't even begun. Haven't even begun. It's over a year. Oh, there's so much work, people. So much. And you haven't even begun. Haven't even begun. It's over a year, and Tracy's house still has a hole in the side of it. And in the windows. And a new one. And a new window. What?

A new window's broken. Because, see these guys? Yeah. See these guys? Yeah. Did you punch a hole in the window? I was trying to shut it. And it went poof.

Okay, wait a minute. So now there's another hole in the window. So is the holes originally, it's not closing because of the storm? From the storm going poof? Yeah, because they're like the old crank ones. Yeah, awnings. The original awnings, yep. So I was like, Jared, can you just like crank it while I push on it?

That's usually how we shut them. Yeah, do you know what people do? They screw them shut. We've done that a few times, yes. They screw them shut or they, like, I can't tell you how many homes I would go to when I did that for a living. Yeah. They would have them screwed shut or they would have them gorilla taped or like, yeah. Not good.

No, it's not good. Mine, I just couldn't lift up because the balance rods had broken. So you lift it up and go back down and then it could almost break. Well, some of them didn't lift up because the balance rods were broken so badly that you couldn't lift them up and open them either. Yeah. So, yeah. But now, thank you, Jesus, for new windows.

I know. Which you will have them soon. Amen. But that's what people don't realize is like it's over a year later and a lot of us, our lives are still not back to normal. And then there are people who, like some of our friends, their whole, like your whole house will be condemned. And then another friend of ours, his whole house was condemned. Somehow, miraculously, he called in immediately and he had somebody come out.

His was a miracle because they'd been living in, not even an RV and a little trailer up until about two months ago, maybe less than that. Their whole family was displaced. Some kids were here. Some kids, I mean, how can, that's what people don't realize. And I didn't either. Yeah. Me either. I didn't either. I had no compassion. Somebody was talking to me about this, this week. And I, I think it was my mother I don't know I was literally like I have compassion now yeah whereas I just thought I think about the people in Maui I do I think I know man now I know like this is like not good so if you're if you

made it through the storm without any problems any of of the storms, you know, I'm very happy for you. Yeah. But be praying for the ones that are still trying to get their houses fixed and that the insurance companies have either gone belly up or they're refusing to give because they still haven't given us all of our money. And they're, well, they're refusing to, but they will be paying. So, and then there's people like you who haven't gotten a dime. Right. It's crazy people. Well, actually, you did get a dime, but it wasn't very much.

Yeah. No, that's true. We did. We got our first check. And then. After that, you never saw them again. And it wasn't very much. Wasn't.

I know. It's still's still yeah it's just you still have a hole in the side you have a hole in your attic like the like you've patched you've covered that thing how many times yeah we have one in the back that we've covered and actually travis and jared did that and they did a decent job because it's staying but the drywall is like exposed to the outside yeah so it's probably destroyed at this point oh 100 and then above our garage there's a hole and you can like go up into the attic and like there's look outside and wave down growing in at this point like ivy and stuff growing in like i can see it and now it's the ceiling of our garage is falling down because it's drywall so it got wet yeah so then there's a hole in our garage so you can see up through the attic out to

i know i went to your house i was like oh yeah you're on greenhouse yeah literally it is it's like oh my gosh i know i know the thing is is that now the insurance companies have to come up with more money i know because they didn't fix the problem you know and you've had that you've how many times have you had tarp on that thing oh a bunch tarp does not last no it doesn't it just comes and it still gets wet right and we just another hurricane season like you can't like how did we i know it's ridiculous i'm just i'm just glad like i have no exposed ceilings like you do yeah we are blessed in that no we didn't have it we did not have like she did i haven't seen your house i'm just kidding oh norma it's a sight. Oh, Norma. It's a sight. I've seen the outside.

It's beautiful. It's a sight. It's a sight. Now, we're going to go into the first. I think are we done? Yeah. I think I'm done talking about turning back time. Okay.

Tracy will live. She will not die. She will see the land of the living. Praise God. Praise God. We're going to keep these on as a constant reminder that everybody on saturday yes click your well i guess the phone does it for you yeah except for my house like i have to fix the microwave i have to fix the stove yeah me too so but you get an extra hour like i'm giddy over

that that's crazy tom makes fun of me. I know. Like he's like, you love this day. I'm like, I look forward to it. Okay. I know when it's going to happen. Okay.

Like I already knew the first weekend in, well, it is the first weekend. First, it's always like the first weekend in November. Yeah.

Yeah. Because it was November 3rd last year. Oh my gosh. I know. It's literally a holiday for you. I would have got you like a card and a present or something if I knew what you loved. I would gladly take it because this is like the best day of the year. I'm not kidding.

I love Saturday. See, and I actually don't love this. Why? Because it gets dark early. I love that it gets dark early. I know. I know you do. And I don't. I don't love it. I don't. I don't enjoy it. You know why I love it? Have I told you why I love it? gets darker I know I know you do and I don't love it I don't I don't you know why I love it have I told you why I love it but you can tell say it again okay the reason I love it I am gonna say it again people the reason why I love it is because it forces people

to go inside and be with their families like like, who? Well, maybe not. But I'm just like, when it gets dark, people kind of tend to, like, just go home. You know, you go home, and then you're all together. Unless you have kids my kids' age. We never did this. We never, what you're saying right now, we never did this. Bull-loni.

No. Bull-loni, bull crap. Mom, the last time we had a family dinner was when I was five. I didn't say dinner. But that's being together. We're all in the house together. You're all in your house together instead of all over the place. We're all over the place in our house.

Like if you're doing sports. What? We're all over the place in our house. We're not together in our house. We're separated. You're there if I need you. But under the roof, under the same roof. Yes.

I mean, for me, it's like we're all like together. Oh, that's so sweet. I love that. I just love your family so much. It kind of forces everybody's hand to come in. Like in the summertime, people are out in the yard. They're working in the yard. They're working in their, you know what I'm saying?

Yeah, I do. Like for me, in the summertime, I can be out there mowing at 8 o'clock at night. And now I can't do any of that. Guess what? My hand is forced. I'm coming inside. I'm relaxing, working, relaxing, like sitting, working,

and we're all together. Instead of me being out running all over God's creation. Now my kids, now I will not see them because Norma turns 23 next week. Norma's birthday is next week. And then Tommy's is in December and he will be 25. Dear Lord, how is that possible? You're old.

Thank you, Norma. Although my son, you know what Tommy said to me last night? Is he the favorite today? Warmed my heart. Favorite child. I'm like Norma just now. Favorite child. We all know.

Tommy says to me, he's like, you know what? For being older, you look really good. I tell you that all the time and I do not get that reaction. No, no, no. Yeah, I tell her that too and I don't get that reaction. Yeah, favorite child. Wow. Oh, dear.

100% favorite child. He is not, dear. 100% favorite child. He is not my favorite. You know why he said? He goes, because I was looking at that engagement picture that you posted. Yeah. He goes, you don't look that much different. You don't at all. I was like, bless.

Bless. I told you that and you were like, and laughed at me and then walked away. Tommy's not a complimenter. Norma's a complimenter though. Here's the thing. She is. Norma is, Norma, no. When it comes to me, you compliment and you're very sweet. Now Tommy, Tommy compliments, but it ain't very often.

And if it is, it's like a rarity like it's it's like he's not gonna lie norma doesn't lie either but norma is just a lot more she's yes she's more loving towards you know she's more like a friend now like yeah i would still like the same reaction it's not gonna happen because i get it it from you. I even commented on that photo and you laughed at the comment. And it was actually a sweet comment. I didn't think she was serious. I put hearts in it.

Oh, Norma. I think she laughed at me. Erin said I'm her favorite child. Shut up, Erin. That's true. I don't like you. Shut up. That's probably true.

Erin's vying for position. I know. And listen, he's getting pretty dang close, if not right up there. Don't tell her that. Hey, listen, some days he beats Tommy out by a mile. Did you hear that, Erin? She said she didn't beat me out. Yeah, that was Tommy.

Norma's going to be hard to beat. Yeah. I will say, Norma, like, we do a lot together. So that would be a hard one Not that she's my favorite Because she's not my favorite But I'm just saying We do a lot together

So Now I'm Kind of feeling inappropriate Asking these questions Since I have two virgins Sitting in the room Hey don't sell me out Norma,

don't say, you haven't even dated a guy yet. Don't make me look like a loser. No, you look, listen, you look like a queen. When you're 23, you look like a queen. It's not that you couldn't,

it's just you haven't for a reason. And Talia ain't much different. I know. But I do feel odd asking. I can't ask these girls these questions. No. Come on. Wait, let me give an honest answer.

I want to be a part of it. I know. Norma, you're not going to be able to answer these questions. Well, let me try. Maybe we just do the Hope Hotline today and only Hope answers these questions. Well, we can to a certain extent. but i am going to get your opinion the girls can i'll just whisper in the mic theoretically okay answer it potentially but they don't know what they're talking about people not even close all right so let's do the first one. Is dirty talk okay in the bedroom?

How are you going to answer that one, Norma? You've never done it. Neither has Tal. Can't even try. Neither one of you have even dirty talked, period. We dirty talked to each other. What? I'm just kidding.

Dear God. Now, now, now we've got a gossip thing going right now we got problems let me answer that now i don't see why not okay is dirty talk okay in the bedroom i'm gonna say yeah it's you're married you're you're you can but like only if you're good at it. What's good and what's not good? If you're not good at it, don't do it. I'll be honest with you. I love to try and talk dirty to Tom. Oh, I want a family everybody. I only do it though, to be funny.

I mean, to be serious, like I only do it because he hates it so much. Like I'm so bad. Like I do it on purpose because I'm so bad. I don't even know how to do it. Bad is funny. I'll just, I don't even know. Like I wish I could think of something that I'll say.

If he says something like to be, if he's like just joking around, then I'll try and play off of that. Like, I wish I could think of something that I'll say. If he says something like to be, if he's like just joking around, then I'll try and play off of that. Yeah. Um, and then he'll just like get me like, you're terrible. Don't even like,

just don't even try. I don't even know what dirty, good, dirty talk sounds like, but I will tell you some people love it. Now. I mean, do you know what good,

dirty talk is? I was wondering when you said, if you're not good at it, don't do it. I didn't people love it. Now, I mean, do you know what good dirty talk is? No, I was wondering when you said, if you're not good at it, don't do it. I didn't know if that was like, you've been in a situation. Yeah, I've never known anybody. Well, here's the thing. People like call up those phone sex things. Somebody's good at dirty talk.

But what does that sound like? And what does that look like and what does that look like i have absolutely no idea because as far as like porn not i not really ever watched it so i mean do that in porn do they talk dirty i don't know do you know what i'm saying so like how do you know what dirty talk is right i know and I think it's subjective, too. Like, if you're just not into it, it's like, no matter what, it's just like, why are you talking? Well, it's like role playing. Okay.

Okay. Who role plays? Hey, listen. I say who role plays, but people do. Like, I will be honest with you. If I had to role play, I would be laughing the whole entire time. Yeah. Like, how do you role play?

Right. I know people are probably watching and they're going, I could tell you how, not like they want to show me how they do it, but I'm just saying, they're like, there's a way to do it. And it's a really good way. And I'm like, but I'm like, I have no idea. And like, what does that look like? And what does, cannot even imagine.

But I know that it's all okay. You just can't fantasize about someone else. Like that's not what you do. That's not allowed. You're not allowed to think of anybody else or anything like that but as far as dirty talk go for it role playing have have at it like but how you do that i have no idea never done it in my life at least good like role playing never done that but as far as dirty talk no not seriously i mean do you

do you understand what i'm saying have you ever known anybody who role-played is commenting we're all reading logan logan okay logan don't read them okay logan said remind hope of the seinfeld episode lasso your panties out for you does that ring about i know that was bad okay exactly my point logan that was bad dirty talk next comment call him daddy i do call him big daddy and i hate that i literally hate it with a passion but i'm not serious okay okay oh i mean come here big daddy come here big daddy like that sounds terrible and like what the heck what the sounds terrible. What the heck? What the heck? Or like,

what the heck? Come here, Big Daddy. Okay. I mean, what do you, I mean, no.

That's not even, that is not even good. Calling somebody Big Daddy is not good sex talk. Okay. Tell them how it feels. Encourage them. That's not,

that's not dirty talk. Okay. These are the comments. And I'll be honest with you. That ain't happening. I'm not doing that either. Okay, but biblically. I wouldn't be able to do that without laughing.

Can I look up some lines? No, don't look up lines. No, don't look up lines. Well, Talia, you can look up lines. No, don't look up lines. Well, Taya, you can look up lines, but what do I want to say? Censor them. Censor the dirty talk. You can look it up, but censor it before you say it, just in case it's too inappropriate.

Show it to Tracy. Well, hello. Well, I mean. Okay, so Aaron and Logan are disagreeing with you. They're saying if it definitely is dirty talk if the way that you say it. So if you tell them how it feels and you

encourage them, the way that you say it can be very dirty. Oh, really? So Aaron said it definitely is if you do it right. It's like hearing my brother. Interesting. Oh, really? So Aaron said it definitely is if you do it right. I'm doing it. It's like hearing my brother. Interesting. That's very interesting.

I don't think I do that. I'm pretty sure I don't do it. No, you don't. No, I think I would know that. But is it okay biblically? Is it okay to do this? Yeah, why not? That's the question.

It's just with your spouse. Like, I mean. Okay. Okay, Talia's got one. Okay, have Tracy read it. No, these aren't bad. These aren't bad. It disappeared again.

Oh, my gosh. This is dangerous. Okay, go ahead. Okay ahead okay so this one says i don't like this i want you thinking of me i want your eyes on me i want your hands on me she's so embarrassed i want all your hands on me i want all of you baby that's not okay but it's probably i i would be honest with you on that if i had to say that i would laugh the whole entire time it's not happening i would not that's why i'm not a good hallmarker like hallmark is so cheesy to me but on top of that like like if you call those phones sex places is that what they're saying to you comments iments. I wish I could ask. Like, what are you wearing? Or like, oh, like, what do you have on?

Yeah. Like, over the phone, that's what people say. But how is that going to turn somebody on? I guess if, I don't know. And how they reply, maybe? I don't know. Like, it's in movies. Yeah.

That's a good call. I'll be honest with you. I'm sweating. It's on, it's on. I'll rotate. Norma's sweating. My face is so red. We think we might have solved the air condition problem,

so there will be air potentially back in here. So, Norma, next time if you get hot because of being embarrassed you'll be fine that's never gonna happen for me like tracy can you see yourself just be flat out honest the whole talking thing is like just not my cup of tea it's like it feels like like i don't know i'm just no no it's not it's not really for me it's not i just, no, no. It's not really for me. Thank God Tom doesn't really, it's not really for Tom. No, no, just because you said it yourself.

You said it yourself. We laugh too. We laugh like we can't take, we would never take each other serious. Right. It's not going to happen. Yeah. I'd rather be romantic some other way than that. Buy me something.

But don't buy me something. Don't talk dirty. Just buy me jewelry. Give me a new purse. Buy me some clothes. Shoes all day long. You want romance? Buy me a pair of shoes.

I'll be fine with that. Oh, man. Talking dirty to me, I might laugh right in your face. It's not going to happen. But you know what God does? He hooks you up with the right people. I was going to say. Yeah.

If it works. I just can't see it. Next question. I can't see it. I was thinking of something I can't even imagine. Never in a million years. Is that a guy that's, oh goodness gracious. Duar, you just walked in on, you could stay in, but you might be embarrassed. He's leaving. He's walking out. I don't blame you, Duard. He even backed out. Yeah, I don't blame him. He might not want to be in here for this.

He might be listening. Dear God. He'll turn it on now. He'll be like, why are they advising me that I might not want to be in here? If he wasn't listening, hey, Duard. Yeah, sorry. I mean, he can come back in. He just might be a shade of red than he never...

He won't, yeah. Rock lobster. Okay. Next question. Okay. Any advice for parents that want to get frisky with kids around? What are these questions? I got you.

I'm just kidding. Well, these are my last two. I got four questions that are all around the same thing. So I'm answering all four of them in a row and then I'm starting on my next row. So when the mood

strikes, how would you navigate getting some privacy? I wrote. I literally wrote in my notes, kids jack things up. They do. Kids jack things up. They do. Kids jack things up. I don't care how old they are. Little to older.

It's not always that easy. I want to stay away from your room. It's never closed unless something else is going on. That's not always true, Norma, just so you know. Yeah, but I don't want to risk it. I've already risked it before and I regretted it. So I just stay away from my door. Hey, enter at your own risk.

I didn't enter. I heard and I left. Oh, fault. She heard me say, come here, big daddy. No. She heard me say, come here, big daddy. I couldn't even say any of the other ones. I hate this episode so much. What was the things that Logan and Erin said to say? Oh, my gosh.

I can't even say them. Forget about it. I can't even do it. What were they? The ones I said. Yeah. Like, I want your hands on me. I have two.

What is that? She asked me what ones I read, and I said, I want your hands on me. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I can't even. Can't even. What are you wearing? Oh, my gosh.

Whatever. Oh, my gosh. Regrouping here. I have tears running down my face. Okay. I'm just going to tell you until they get older, this is the best thing to do. I don't know how old your kids are, so this might work and it might not work. But then we can get Tracy's opinion on this too. Listen, get them a whole bunch of toys, a whole bunch of, now you got to wait.

You can't do this when they're like three, okay, or toddlers. You can always put them in the playpen, okay? But unless they can crawl out, you're in big trouble. So when they get older and you know that they won't like, my kids were very disciplined. So if I said, if we said, do not move from this location, do not, uh, do not get up or this is the area you're allowed to play in. That's it. They didn't get up. They didn't move around. They didn't do anything. They listened because they knew if they did not,

there was going to be you know what to pay. Sit them in front of the TV. Get them some toys. Get them some snacks. Okay? And then or nap time nap time or bedtime is actually very very good too

otherwise you're in big trouble but put on a movie why are you laughing somebody wrote something I'm just imagining all the times you left me and Tommy all the times that we thought that was innocent

like you and dad had to go talk about something important. Oh, that's what we used to say. We gotta go talk about something. And I'm like, we ain't talking. We ain't talking. Listen, kids jack things up, but that cannot be jacked up. Being in a relationship, or

being intimate with one another has to be top priority. You cannot, like your husband needs to know he's still number one. This has to be like top priority. You cannot like your husband needs to know he's still number one. If this has to be a woman, maybe it's not a woman. I don't know. But like nothing like your relationship can't take a backseat to the kids. That's for dang sure. That like intimacy between a husband and wife is super, super, super important. Is it the number one thing? No, it isn't.

But it's pretty high up there besides being best friends with each other in communication. So do not let your kids get in the way of that because lots of women do. Like they work all day, then they come home, they take care of the family. Sometimes like there's families that the husband and wife do it together. In our house, I stayed home a lot. Tom wanted us to be like a more traditional family. Thank God he did because that's why we have great kids. I didn't have a daycare raising my kids.

So we sacrificed a lot because we had these children so they were our responsibility to take care of them and we did that and so with that being said you you think well you get to stay at home all day so what do you what are you doing well a lot of times was working and or homeschooling along with being a mom. And by the time your husband gets home, you're tired. And so a lot of women will be like, I'm so tired. And then the husband is like taking a backseat to the kids, to the house, to the whole thing, Your wife, number one. And so that has to, nothing can get in the way of that. As soon as a man feels like he is secondary, dude, was I successful with this all the time? No, I was not.

I actually regret there were moments in my marriage with Tom. And I would say we've had probably the easiest marriage out of anybody that I know. There have been very few times of like, like there have been times where we don't argue. Like the thing is, is Tom and I, like there is probably five times in our whole marriage that we've had an argument. But there's never really ever been yelling at one another. There's no name calling.

There's no disrespecting one another ever. Now, does that mean that he doesn't irritate me and I don't irritate him or we'd have disagreements or we don't agree on things? Yeah, that happens all the time. Happens all the time. It's we pick and choose when to fight. And that's been like five times.

And that just shows you how often things are so important to fight over. There isn't very much that you should fight over. And most of those times when we fought over something is because it was total miscommunication and a misunderstanding on things. And so, but even with that, the most successful marriages can take each other for granted to some degree. And in this case, I would say when the kids were really, really young and I was selling real estate and I was working from home and then I was being a wife and a mom, I let the kids and my job and other things take precedence over being really close in this one particular area. Intimacy is super important, and a man has to,

it's an integral part of their life. Sex is an integral part of their life. Women look at it very different than men. Men have to have it. Like, it's like eating, right? Whereas women, it's that closeness, right? They don't look at it like that. They look at it like eating. And so they eat every day, physical food. So they're going to want the intimacy

as much as almost as eating every day. So you can't cut them off. It's not how you do it. It's not right. And like I said, was I successful at this? There was a portion or a period of time that I didn't understand that. And so I did not treat him the way that he should have been. So I'm not saying I got it going on

and I did things perfect and full transparency. But at the same time, it does not excuse that that was the correct way to do it. So women, learn from me. And it was a very short period of time, but it's a period of time that I regret and I feel bad because I didn't realize it at the time. But I'm telling you right now. So you can't use it as an excuse that you didn't know. You do know.

If I'm telling you right now, you need can't use it as an excuse that you didn't know. You do know. If I'm telling you right now, you need to have a conversation with your spouse, husband, or wife. Like you have to make each other number one, always. Doesn't matter how many kids, no kids or whatever. You're number one with each other and then everything else outside of God, everything else follows suit.

And even if you're a blended family, it doesn't matter. If you're a blended family and you're both bringing kids into the family, you've made a decision to marry one another. That means each of you become number one and your kids from another marriage are underneath that. And you'll say, no, that won't work for me. I'm sorry, you're wrong. Because you made a covenant and a commitment to one another.

And kids come secondary to that. And if you can't do that, then don't get married. Because it's not right. Kids should never be over your spouse. And if you can't put the man or woman that you're marrying over them, then they're probably not the right one and you shouldn't do it. That's just the facts.

So do you have any advice in this area, Norma or Talia? No, I'm just kidding. Yeah, let me tell you. Now, they don't know anything. Tracy? I plead the fifth. No, I'm just kidding. I bet you you do um my kids slept

like my kids were like they would sleep at night yeah but don't you ever want to do it like in the morning or in the middle of the day like you only did it at night you gave I mean majority of the time but you gave great things to do like oh so you do the same basically the same thing to plop them down with movie movies? Movies, iPads. Well, we didn't have iPads back then. I know, exactly. But this is a new world. It really is.

We had LeapFrog. I didn't let my kids play with that stuff. So my kids had to do learning. Which they actually liked. You did like LeapFrog. No, I remember literally being so bored did like leapfrog. No, I remember literally being so bored with leapfrog. Learning math, mom, is not exactly fun for a child. They made it fun.

Leapfrog was fun. Do they even have leapfrog anymore? Yeah, they do. It's good. That's a great learning. It's more of an iPad now, though. Is it? I'm just saying, guys, great learning techniques.

LeapFrog is it. They do great. English and math. Phenomenal. Norma begs to differ. My favorite movie of all time. Oh, my gosh. Your favorite movie?

Like, Alphabet Factory by them, by LeapFrog. Oh, yes. Norma loved that. Oh, I love that. I watched that, like, every single day. Thank you. I didn't like the games because it had me in the red. It's so good. Norma loved that. Oh, I love that. I watch that like every single day. Thank you. I didn't like the games because it had me mad. I would still watch it right now.

It's so good. Norma loved it. Alphabet Factory? Yes. Can you actually send me a picture of that? I'm going to watch that. I'm going to watch it when I go home. It's great because it teaches your kids the alphabet.

So good. It was so good. And then after it does that, it teaches them how to read, putting words together. It's really good. It's so much fun. It's really good. Yes. That's literally it. that, it teaches them how to read, putting words together. It's really good. It's so much fun. It's really good. Yes, that's literally it. Oh, my gosh.

Here it is. Do you want me to show it? Oh, my gosh. Hope, can I show it? Oh, heck yeah. Heather just texted me, so I need to make sure. Letter Factory. I love that.

There it is. So good, guys. If you have small kids. And it's like a song. So it's like. If you're like trying to figure out great ways to teach your kids how to read and learn math and things like that, LeapFrog is really good. I loved it for my kids. And it's safe.

Like it was super good and safe. Not like a lot of stuff out there today. So is that iPad friendly? Is that what it is? Because my kids had to do with the handhelds. I think they still have their own brand of iPad. It's like the handhelds. They still have the handhelds.

They probably have an app. Yeah. Both my kids had them. We would drive down the road. Trips. They would play with them. They were good. So.

All right. Are we done with that that are we done with giving advice i think that was good you did a great all right all right so let's move on to the next question my alani is making me want to burp which i just did okay excuse me excuse me. Pardon me. Whatever. It's like Tom says, it's like your feelings are gas. I just burped. That's my feelings. That's it. That's it.

Okay, next question. Now here's the thing. This person that wrote me, that gave me these, I'm moving on to my next questions, and these questions are like a month old. So like there's a big long list of them and they're really good. But just so you know, whoever you are, they go to the church because they put them in the tithe box. Okay. I'm not answering them in the order you sent them. I'm answering them in the order that I want to answer

them, but I will try and answer all of them. Okay, so the first question is, if God buried the body of Moses, which is in Deuteronomy 34.6, but no one ever found his tomb, grave, body, do you think he was transfigured? And I say, no. Do you think he's transfigured? No.

Because the reason why I say he's not transfigured is because it would say that. If he's transfigured, it would put that in the word. It would be in the Bible. Every time somebody was translated, like Enoch and Elisha, it's duly noted that they never died. They were just taken up to heaven. So if Moses was the same thing,

then it would absolutely be documented that way. But here's the thing. What people don't realize is Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, the first five books, they're all written by Moses, every single last one of them. So people will say, well, how in the world did Moses write about his death? That's a big question mark, right? How would he know that?

So I will tell you this. If you did any research on it, some believe that Joshua actually wrote, because Joshua wrote Joshua, but some people believe that Joshua may have written that last little part. But I love what Perry Stone has to say about this because I actually looked this up. I love when it comes to this scripture,

this is what he said. He says, Scholars debate Moses' authorship of the Torah, which includes details of his death, such as the fact that God buried him in the valley between Mount Nebo and Jericho, which is what Deuteronomy 34.6 states. I should have wrote that down. Let me see if I, oh, wait a minute. I do have it. Hold on. Let me read what it says., wait a minute. I do have it. Hold on. Let me read what it says.

It says, and he buried him in the valley. So Deuteronomy 34, 6 says, and he buried him in the valley in the land of Moab opposite Beth Peor, but no one knows his grave to his day, to this day. So no one knows. So basically Moses wrote that, right? So what is written about this is, let me get this thing to move. So I'm going to start back with what Perry Stone says. Scholars debate Moses' authorship of the Torah, which includes details of his death,

such as the fact that God buried him in the valley between Mount Nebo and Jericho. It could be that Joshua added these final words or that God has revealed to Moses ahead of time what would happen after Moses's death. And if this is the case, it says it wasn't the last time. In the New Testament, Jesus Christ prophesied beforehand that he would suffer, die, and be resurrected, which Jesus did. Jesus clearly spoke about how he would die, the manner in which he would die, and that he would rise again. It talks about it in all the Gospels, all four of the Gospels. And so it even talks about it in the Old Testament.

It's prophesied about. So, but Jesus himself, and that's what basically Perry Stone is saying. If Jesus himself spoke about this, about how he would die, then how could it not be? Which it might not be, but what I would say to that is, could it be that Moses knew how he would die, where he would be buried, and then he would write it in himself? I mean, Moses says he's the most humble man. That's what he wrote about himself. And it's true. He was very, very humble.

So I don't know. I tend to believe that if it says that, well, I don't know what I believe. I was about to say I tend to believe that Moses probably wrote that. But I will actually say a part of me also believes that maybe Joshua wrote it. So it could go either way. It could go either way. I don't know. But I do believe that he was buried.

I do not believe that he was transferred. Otherwise, it would be written that way. There's nothing in the Bible. I will say there's no lies in the Bible, right? There's nothing that's nothing like in the Bible, I will say there's no lies in the Bible, right? There's nothing that's untrue in the Bible. So if he was transferred instead of buried, then that would be a lie. Correct? And if you can't believe all things that the word says, then you can believe no thing that the word says. Does that make sense? Yep.

So if there was, I know they never found his body, but that doesn't mean anything. It means nothing. There's plenty of people that have been buried that they can't find. I don't know of any, but I'm just saying there's plenty of people whose bones and things like that. I'm sure there's been times that people have gone to try and find somebody in a location, especially after the flood.

I mean, that they can't find them. So why would it be any different with Moses? Do you know what I'm saying? Who knows if there was a washout or who knows. With mountains, all of the snow and the water that runs down could just totally make the bones wash away too. Who knows? I don't know. But I can tell you this. If the Bible says he was buried, I believe he was buried. Otherwise, then the Bible's a liar.

And I just don't see it it why would it be said one thing and it really be another so i take comfort in that truth is truth and that if it says that it's one thing then it's then it is that so now the next thing i wanted to next question is i need more clarification from you if you're watching which i'm sure you do because you wouldn't have asked. You wrote a question about Genesis 5, 8 through 10, and your question, this is what the question was. Genesis 5, 8 through 10, would this mean wearing a necklace that is a cross is wrong? Okay, I don't know what you're asking

because if you go to Genesis 5, 8 through 10, it talks about Seth and Enos and how long they lived and it doesn't relate to anything. So I have no idea. But if you want to rewrite that question, stick it in the Tithe box. Only reason I say this guys, and as more questions come in, and as the audience gets bigger, I won't be able to go back in and say, I don't have your question correct, because there'll be too many of them. But in this case, I also don't want people to think I'm ignoring or avoiding a question, because I'm afraid to answer it. That's not the case. I just don't understand it. So last question, because we only have seven minutes. Okay.

So I'm going to finish. This is my last question. Although, well, maybe I can do the other one. Let's see. In Genesis at Noah's time, where was Satan? Which is a very good question. But I will tell you, it's super easy to answer. Evil was consuming the world even in Noah's time. That's the reason why it was destroyed.

Because God was so disheartened and so irritated with mankind. He's like, I'm just going to destroy it. And I'll just start over again. Because there was so much evil and perverseness. And I don't, is perverseness a word? I don't think so. I don't think so. Perversion. That's a word. That sounds right. Thank you. There was so much evil and perversion in the world that God just said, I've had it. Now, in order for that to be the case, Satan had to be existing, right? Satan had to be dwelling.

It's just like Adam and Eve. Satan took the form of a serpent. So he was around. And if you look at Job 1.7, it says, which goes back to Satan roaming this earth, but it goes, the Lord said to Satan, and this is Job 1.7, first chapter of Job. And this is when Job was asking if there was one person that would,

is there one person, how did it go? Is there no man that will ever not, can I test man? Well, is there anybody that won't ever turn on you basically? And he said, test Job. The Lord said to Satan, where have you come from? So the Lord is asking Satan, where did you come from? And Satan answered the Lord, from roaming throughout the earth, going back and forth on it. So Satan roams this earth. And then if it goes into more scripture, if you go, you know, and look into other scripture, it says, and he's seeking whom he may devour. Roams this earth seeking whom he may devour. If you look at Job, Job in chronological order lands right in the middle of Genesis.

Right? So your question was in Genesis at Noah's time, where was Satan? Now, if I think, well, Tracy, look this up. Noah is like Genesis 10 or something like that, I think. I want to say it's in like Genesis 10. I might be wrong. And then tell me how many chapters are in Genesis, because I feel like there's like 30 in Genesis chapters. Genesis 7 says, then the Lord then said to Noah, go to the ark. Okay. So Genesis 7 is where Noah comes onto

the scene. And how many is? So Genesis 5, it's like the title is From Adam to Noah. So let's just say that Noah gets on the ark in Genesis 7 because that's what it sounds like, right? How many chapters are in Genesis? I want to say it's like 30. I was going to say 31. 31? 50?

50? There's 50. 50? Wow. There's way more than I thought. I thought there was like 30. Okay. I mean, I knew it was a long book, but I did not think it was 50. 50? Wow. That's way more than I thought. I thought there was like 30. Okay.

I mean, I knew it was a long book, but I did not think it was 50. I didn't either. Oh, my gosh. Okay, so if Job enters into the scene in chronological order, the middle of when Jesus said this, I mean, when God said this to Satan, that would be around the 25th chapter, right? So Satan would have been on the scene because of Adam and Eve. So it's all the same. Satan was, so where was Satan in Genesis at Noah's time?

Where was Satan? So let's say it's chapter seven and Job enters onto the scene in 25. So in Job, when the Lord said to Satan, where have you come from? He said, I've been roaming throughout the earth. I would say that's where Satan was in Noah's day. He was roaming throughout the earth. It's close to each other. That's where he would be. Do you agree? Yeah, I just looked at the chronological Bible plan. It says Genesis 8 to 11, and then day four would be Job 1 through 5.

So it's like right in that. Right in that time frame. Right in that time frame. Yeah. So probably the same place, roaming the earth. Crazy. Nothing's changed. Yeah.

That's what he's doing right now. Right. In other words, doing what he's always been doing. Yeah. Roaming the earth. De's changed. That's what he's doing right now. In other words, doing what he's always been doing, roaming the earth. Deceiving. Yeah. And deceiving many. I'm going to do one more question. Even though I only have two minutes, I'll do a quick salvation thing. And then let's get this other question done. Maybe you hope. Maybe me. Norma. And then Norma points to me. You can't see that. People. Twelve tribes and twelve disciples.

Does each disciple represent a tribe? If so, which one would Judah represent? I love that question. That's a really good question. Very interesting. It's a very in-depth, like whoever this is is like a deep thinker or something i don't know so jesus chose the 12 disciples right and they they represent the 12 tribe and they so here let me say this so people understand when we go to heaven there is 12

and 12 right 12 sit on one side 12 sit on the other side of the, they are the elders, right? And so the 12 tribes will represent each son of Israel, which was Jacob. So his 12 sons, and then there is the 12 disciples on the other, right? So that's what this person's talking about. So when we go to heaven, besides God and Jesus, these 12, the 24 will be up there. Jesus picked the 12 disciples. We all know who they are. And then the tribes of Israel are Jacob's sons. But there's something significant about 12, right?

So there's a reason why it's 12 and 12. And when I looked it up, it says it shows the link between the old covenant and the new covenant, which is the old covenant is like the 10 commandments, the sacrificing of lambs. It's all of the Levitical and all the rules and all the laws that the Israelites were to abide by. So if you broke a law or a commandment, then there would be a sacrifice that had to be made. If you were unclean, there was a sacrifice that had to be made of animals, blood and things like that. So the new covenant is Jesus took care of all of that. No sacrifices are made any longer because of the ultimate sacrifice that was made for each and every

single one of us, which was Jesus dying on the cross. So it's putting that old covenant and connecting it to the new covenant, which is sacrifice of pure, clean animals to the sacrifice of the pure, clean lamb of God, Jesus Christ. And so So it's putting the two together. It's linking the two together. And what it says, it symbolizes a perfect, the perfection of governance. That's what 12 and 12 mean. Our 12 means the number 12 symbolizes a perfect, the perfection of governance. So really, the 12 tribes and the 12 disciples are not, they don't, like the 12 disciples don't represent one of the sons.

There's not, that's not the case at all. But it does link the two together. It links the old with the new. And that's it. Yeah, it's interesting. That's it. Good question. Great question. Easy. They don't. It's all good. All right. So let's just do the salvation call. And then let's not that this isn't important. It's super important. Very, very important. If you don't know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, if you want to have the best weekend of your life, make the decision today to get saved.

If you knew him and you walked away, you know life ain't right. You know life is not even close to what it should be. Outside of falling back and gaining an hour this weekend, which is the best of the best. It will not be the best of the best if you do not know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. I can promise you that.

You can gain that hour all you want to, but it's gonna be nothing in comparison to life without Jesus. So if you do not know him or you wanna get your life back right with him, say this prayer with me right now and let's start your weekend off with a bang. It'll be the best ever.

A new lease on life, life like you've never known it before. Say this prayer with me. Heavenly Father, Jesus, I thank you for what you did on the cross. I thank you for dying for my sins. I thank you for the bruises that you bore and for the transgressions, which means sin that I have done.

I thank you for the stripes on your back that provides healing for my body. I thank you that you came to this earth rich, but you became poor so that I might be rich, so that all things are available to me. I ask you to forgive me of my sins. I ask you to show me what you would have me to do. I ask you to turn my, I'm giving my life over to you. You will be Lord of my life from this moment forward.

Whatever you say to do, I will do. Wherever you say go, I will go. Whatever you say don't do, I will not do. I will live for you forever. In Jesus' mighty name we pray. Amen. Listen, I'm just telling you, if you said that prayer and you mean it, life is going to be completely different. The direction you were heading, you need to turn around and head and go the opposite direction. Nothing's been working in that direction, but everything will come into place. It'll fall right into where it needs to be. And you will never, like you will pinch yourself a year from now, if not before.

Like when I got my life right with God, it was two months later and I'm like, I don't even look the same. I don't feel the same. Life has never been better. And it is exactly like that. I'm not saying you're not gonna go through trials, but the word says you will face many trials

in this lifetime, but I will deliver you from them all. So victory is at the end of every single trial, every single situation that comes across your path, because he makes you victorious. If you don't quit, you are victorious. So start the direction in the opposite way. If you need a good church and you don't live in the area, you can watch Foundation Church on Sunday at 10 a.m. And if you live in the area, please, please come. If you're in the Tampa, northern area, go to the River Church. Fantastic. You will not be disappointed. And if you need a good church in your area and it's, there's one that we might know of, we can help you with that, but get a good Bible, start studying the word, and plug in. Wherever you go, plug in. Dig deep, and you'll not be the same. Have a great weekend. I know I will be. See you Sunday. Bye-bye. Real talk.

Real talk. Real talk. you you you you you you
