Robert was a librarian at the University of New Hampshire.
and he was a librarian there for 50 years.
Robert was a pretty frugal guy.
He never went out to eat.
He ate TV dinners.
He drove a 1992 Plymouth,
and he loved, he loved to read.
At one point, he decided to read all the books in the library.
He started with the books
that were written in the 1930s
and didn't stop until he had read 1,938 books.
He had read them in chronological order.
Robert died in 2015
and a couple of weeks after he died,
the University of New Hampshire received a check from his estate for
$4 million.
Nobody was expecting it.
Nobody thought that he was worth that kind of money.
And he left only one instruction.
He, he wanted $100,000 of the four million dollars
to go towards the library that he loved so much.
But he said the university was free to use the money,
the rest of the money, in whatever way that they wanted.
And so the university, knowing his great love of reading,
knowing his great love of books,
knowing his severe dislike for anything extravagant,
they decided to use the next million dollars of his estate
on a new scoreboard for the football stadium,
a football stadium that they had just spent $25 million renovating.
Now, the university didn't do anything wrong.
Other than the request for a $100,000
to go towards the library,
he really did say that they could use the money
in whatever way that they wanted.
But there are a lot of people who were very upset with the university
because they felt it was very obvious what Robert loved,
and it seems like what he loved
didn't really matter all that much to anyone.
This week we're going to go through a section of scripture in Luke chapter 16
that shows us very clearly that what you love
really does matter
and it matters to God.
In Luke chapter 16, Jesus told the story about two men,
a rich man and the guy named Lazarus.
And this is how it goes.
This is how it starts.
Two very different lives,
two very different descriptions of what people love during their lives.
And as we'll see during the week,
two very different outcomes for each of those lives.
But the story illustrates the principle that what you love really does matter.
It means something.
And that was the case, even for the person who's telling the story.
Well, what Jesus loved most in his life
was you.
It was you.
"Greater love has no one than this," he once told his disciples,
"that he lay down his life
for his friends."
He considered you his friend.
He loved you
and that made a difference in his life.
It made a difference in how he lived,
in who he spent time with,
in what he taught.
And also made a difference
in how he died,
and why he did.
He died
loving you.
What he loved made a difference in his life,
and what he loved also made a difference in your life.
And that difference is what we'll be talking about this week.
Jesus was excessively rich in his love for you.
Do you have a story about how someone in your life
was excessively rich in their love towards you or for someone else?
We'd love to hear about it and celebrate that love with you.
Leave it in the comments below
and I look forward to seeing you tomorrow.

Walpurgis Night - Duration: 7:13.
hello friends my name is Arith Härger and
why do you always do that?
what?
Saying your name, everybody knows that by now
I'm being polite, introducing myself first
bah! that's a waste of time . . . anyway what
what are you going to talk about today?
yes I was about to say that before you
interrupted me
humpf
well I'm going to talk about the Walpurgis night
ah!
there are probably hundreds of videos about that
yeah most likely
but I want to give my contribution to the subject
bah! rubbish!
and also a waste of time
you know what you should do?!
what?
including me in your videos
more often hehe heh
yeah well, yes yes I suppose I could
one of these days I will
give you a little surprise
hmm I have a bad feeling about that what are you up to?
heh, you will see hue hue hue
alright
right let's get started
Walpurgis night is a celebration that
takes place during the 30th of April
to the first of May and its origins date
back to the pagan fertility rites and
the coming of spring but with the
Christianization of the northern peoples
of Europe this celebration was combined
with a celebration of Valburg or Walburga
which is a celebration held in honor to
a nun with the same name
Walburga, she was a nun who lived in the
8th century and she was born in
England and at some point in her life
she moved to Germany where she founded a
católica convent
it is believed that
she cured the illnesses of local
residents therefore she was canonized by
the miracles she performed she soon
started to be worshipped in a similar
way the pagans worshipped spring and
since the two celebrations are very
close together on the time of these
celebrations are practically the same
the two celebrations
soon
were mixed together and create- and it was
created this Valburg or Walpurgis night
celebration in ancient pagan times this
festivity was often celebrated with
dancing and huge bonfires it was very
similar with the Halloween festivity
in a way that it has to do with
supernatural spirits of both ancestors
and gods but also the land spirits and
the bonfires in in this celebration are
a warm welcome to spring and to receive
the heat and to say farewell to the cold
and harsh winter times
this night also
represented the time when the boundaries
between our world and the world of the
spirits were a bit shaky much like
Halloween or Samhain, this was a time
where when it was possible to
communicate with the spirits and the
spirit world
during this time bonfires
were traditionally lit to keep away
malevolent spirits and those who might
do us harm so summarizing before the
coming or the introduction of
Christianity and the celebration of
Valburg this was a festivity to
celebrate the coming of spring and also
a time to begin a new cycle of farming
and herding
now you have to take in mind
that climate changes a lot and in
ancient times in northern Europe between
winter and spring there wasn't much much
difference it was just the melting of
the snow slowly and animals waking up
from hibernation so as you can see this
celebration is very close to summer so
that was exactly the time our ancestors
our northern ancestors will- would see
the changes in nature and so it was
closer to summer so it was a sort of
spring that they will start their
farming and
the cattle herds would go out there to
into the fields to graze so it's not
like in southern Europe where spring is
just spring and summer is just bloody hot
for instance our Norse ancestors
would not only lit bonfires to keep away
malevolent spirits but also to keep away
wild animals so that the livestock would
not get harmed they would also lit
bonfires to hurry up spring and to purify
nature and they would also mark this day
as the day their are cows their goats
well, their cattle herds would go out
there into the forest at the 1st of May
to begin their summer grazing
nowadays we can still see these pagan
celebrations somehow disguised in the
modern celebration of Walpurgis night in
Sweden for instance people still gather
around bonfires to to dance and to sing
songs to welcome spring people tidy up
their gardens and the leaves and the
branches are a good material to feed the
the bonfires and so are the Christmas
trees that some people keep at home or
keep somewhere to feed the fires at this
very night in Germany this holiday is
still celebrated by dressing in
customs playing pranks on people and
making very loud noises to keep evil at
bay some people still hang blessed
sprigs of foliage in houses and barns to
ward off evil spirits and there are even
those who still leave offerings of bread
spread with butter and honey - to whatever
it is out there that needs to be
appeased
so this harks back to the pagan origins
when people would leave offerings to the
gods and to the ancestors and when I
become a spirit I hope to be in in
Germany during this day because it
sounds delicious and
want to feast like a king
so that's it friends I hope you have enjoyed this

on some cool dragon tree

let's see what's expecting us
mademoisell miss is responsible for the tour plan today
as always
get off al the grease spots
okay guys, my drinking bubble leaks
my ass is all wet, my backpack is soaking
I feel like a little monkey
if I hadn't the camera I could jump from tree to tree
eat a banana cause I'm a little monkey
woah guys
what's up here?
I'd say we have a little beauty
in the background
a cave
with a fire place
some braided stuff
looks like a native cave
damn awesome
a cool cave, but I don't have a flashlight
but wait, my phone has
we're going
on exploring tour, lights on
see if we're gonna see something
I'm afraid something's gonna get at me
hope there's not bats in here
awesome, look at this cave
a little steep to sleep in here
but pretty spacious and big
I wonder if it's a natural cave or if they made it
looks like it goes a little further
I'm just gonna sit down a little, ouch my ass
my ass, I'm just wearing thin sports pants
at east flashlight of the phone is with me
I'm gonna go further
down there seem to be more caves
but this one looks pretty awesome with those hangings
yeah up there, I've looked
I can't get in there with my backpack
I'm gonna leave it down here
but I need my phone for the lights
gonna hide it in the gave if a bandit comes
and steals my backpack
I have sports clothes on today
meaning I'll probably cut my knees open
I'm afraid my phone breaks
I know you can barly see me, gotta turn on the light
I'm in the cave and it's very flat, my head hits the ceiling
what I find a little scary is
I'll show you
here are laying some, can you see it?
outch, it's very sharp-edged
this looks like
some
old insect larvae
don't know if they live here or if it's a food depot
but we can go a little more up
ouch ouch ouch, imagine
this is volcano stone
meaning it's super sharp-edged
it goes a little further up there
I think I'm gonna go left
it's pretty senseless to go in here today
because I'm completely laying in here, hurting myself
the exploring urge
is too big
I want to know
how's it like to sit in this cave?
I just hope there's no animal
I hope you hear me, it's more comfy here
those are my favorite
moments
what are you doing in this situation?
making an instagram story for you guys
yeah guys, I'm in the upper cave
back there is my camera, filming for youtube as well
in the background the end of the cave
I'll look if you can see me
it's very flat down there, I craled through it
I'd say I'm psyched to look at this cave
but it's very narrow
this is more comfy and it goes out down there
damn, my phone
oh no, my new iPhone straight against the stone
here are
signs some kinda circles
din't know what's their meaning
shells of some fruit
well they had
a really good weather protection no wind in here and rainproof
here a tree to snack off
I don't know if those are apricots
or almonds, I really don't know guys
the leafs kinda look like it's nuts
what is this? a nut?
fruit? I don't know
I can't tell you, but I'm not gonna try it
a little bit like a jungle
little tendrils, all pretty green
small waterfalls earlier
looks pretty awesome
we're making some height meters
I like this as a building material, something new
in the background, view to the ocean
and I'm almost falling into the cactus
beautiful
