GANCHO PELO BRAÇO - Arm's hook - 1 DIABOLO TUTORIAL - Duration: 1:32.

remember to give this video a thumbs up

and buy a diabolo to support the channel

and let's do this arm trick!

Diabolo Tutorial: Arm's Hook

I didn't find the name of this trick on the Internet

so I decided to call it "arm's hook"

It's simple and has no real prerequisite

but knowing the "around the arm" will give a better sense of space of the trick

and know how to do the inverse trapeze

also will help you to better control the exit

perhaps only by the intro you already have an idea of what's going on

but let's go

we will lift the right stick,

and turn the tip of it toward the right arm,

as if we were to make an orbit

then we pass the stick under the diabolo

throwing it back and forth, giving this nice turn around the arm

it'll end in the left backside,

so if we do a trapeze that same side we will end with an inverse trapeze

so we just throw it up or back to the string and finish the trick with style

a common mistake is to hit the stick in diabolo rather than catch it underneath

before throwing over arm

or do something stupid by the time of throwing it.

How to Write During the Holidays + Minx Lit Unboxing - Duration: 19:37.

hi everyone thank you for joining me today my name is Kim Chance I'm a Young

Adult author and welcome back to my channel I've got two fun things to share

with you guys today I'm gonna be doing an unboxing and I'm also gonna be

sharing with you guys some quick and easy tips for how to write during this

crazy holiday season so yeah let's go ahead and dive right in okay so to start

off with guys I am going to be doing an unboxing for you

I have my November Minx Lit box and I'm gonna show you what's inside I did an

unboxing for you guys earlier in one of my other videos and a lot of you guys

subscribed to Minx Lit and really liked it and I'm so excited because I love

supporting small businesses and this is such a cool box especially for girl

bosses and female entrepreneurs so I'm really excited to see what's in store

for us and I can never get these boxes open for the unboxing videos so here we

go alright mmm so as usual it comes with several it

comes like with a little welcome it comes with several like writing prompts

come on camera focus there we go writing prompts and you know topics that

you can use for your vlog or your blog which I just think is awesome and then

they also have some other little small business like coupons and kind of

advertisements and little special deals for you so love that and then of course

their social media

all right so first we have a little piece of art never let the things you

want make you forget the things that you have oh I love that so much such a good

reminder you know this is actually a lesson that

I'm really learning right now in my own life like my dreams are big and I'm

gonna keep reaching for them but I also need to stop and enjoy the little things

and count my blessings daily so I love this such a good reminder hmm yeah all

right we got some I can never say this Ghirardelli it's not who you say that

hot chocolate mix I'm gonna I'm gonna totally drink this as soon as I get done

filming yeah so some gourmet chocolate hot cocoa mix perfect for this time of

year it is a freezing here in Michigan so that will come in handy all right

let's see what these hmm oh em gee how stinking cute are these look they're

little at symbols earrings I don't know there you go look at that they're little

ats little at symbols I love these these are from naturally unique by s.o.s

I'm in love with these I'm in love with these oh my goodness I love these and so

perfect so perfect okay what else we got here ooh ooh I love these they are paper

clips but look at them they're like they're like squares they're not like

you're classic paper clip shape and you know I'm a teacher and a writer so

office supplies are like my jam so I love these and I use paper clips all

the time so this is absolutely fantastic love those

what else do we got here I love it it's a little like zipper

pouch that you can put in your purse or in your writing bag and it says all I

need is coffee and mascara how cute is that and so true like if I'm going out

and I don't want to put a full face of makeup on I got to make sure that I got

at least some moisturizer on and some mascara I look so much better with

mascara I also need this to say all I need is

coffee mascara and lipstick because you guys know like I love my red lips like I

love it so so cute love that okay what is this

I don't ...it must be for one of the things I haven't open yet let's see and look

again everything a lot of stuff is little individual packets which i think

is such a nice touch Minx Lit really does a good job of personalizing each

box I think I said this in the last video but I think it's so important with

subscription boxes for it to feel personal and this one definitely does oh

okay so this is a three and one facial cleansing grains and it's got red clay

kaolin clay oats and banana extract how neat so I guess it's kind of like a

gentle scrub for your face but it's called cleansing grains I've never heard

of that before alright so you mix it together with

water until you get like a little paste and yeah slap it on your face and leave

it for about ten minutes and then wash it off so it's kind of like a little

mask hmm I love that I love masks gentle enough for everyday use hmm don't mind

if I do I know what I'm doing later while I drink my hot cocoa and then they

give you a coupon if you want to buy more thank you

that is so neat okay what else you I think its a candle that's what it feels like

I am right this is a artesian aromatherapy candle by the tranquil

goddess focus camera there we go can you see that is that focused there we go

okay my camera doesn't like it when I get super close to it huh pumpkin

cinnamon nutmeg vanilla

it smells really good like it's so good like i just want to like

sit in it for it you know a minute it smells really good like sometimes

like pumpkin cinnamon stuff smells a bit too strong for me but this is incredible

hmm i need a big one of these i'm gonna have

to go order a big one okay and that is what this coupon was you also get a

coupon and they give you a coupon it for the tranquil goddess you want to go and

buy more and I will definitely be doing that because that's smells amazing

alright what else do we got here how cute are these it says I'm not bossy I'm

the boss I'm not bossy I'm the boss and it's got like a little weekly little

weekly thing you can fill stuff in and I think it's a little yeah that's a little

notepad you can do like a quick like to-do list

how cute is that I'm not bossy I'm the boss I love that I love that so cute and

I really love the organization of this because I'm obsessed with lists and so

this can help you like them break it down by day what you need to accomplish

so helpful I love that and random fuzz from my dogs I don't know how that got

in the box but hey...then a book called the one hour content plan the solopreneurs guide to a

year's worth of blog post ideas in 60 minutes and creating content that

sells and hooks oh I love that here I say the one hour content plan you know I

let's get to the writing tips that I'm going to share with you guys it's

officially December how did that even happen like I blinked in November was

gone and now here we are in the last month of 2017 like I can't believe it

but if you're anything like me writing during the holidays is really really

challenging like with everything that's going on and my need to be involved in

all of the fun and the festivities it can be really challenging to find time

to write to find the motivation to sit down and put words on the page so I'm

gonna give you guys some tips and some tricks that I've kind of come up with

and used in the last couple of years to make sure that even while I'm having fun

and enjoying the holidays I'm still getting some writing done number one say

no now this is challenging but here's the thing guys you can't go and do

everything it's just not possible and during the Christmas time and during

this holiday season there are so many parties and celebrations and

get-togethers and activities that people plan and invite you to which is

fantastic like there's nothing better than being with friends and families

during the holidays but say no like you can't do everything and you have to make

time for your writing you have to keep your writing time sacred so even if

you only write one time a week if you get an invitation for that time say no

like just say no people like make sure that you're not over filling your

schedule so that when you do want to write you don't have any time to do so

so be sure to kind of say no or rather say yes in moderation making sure that

you're not over packing your schedule and not leaving yourself any time to

write number to use outings as inspiration now you know you're gonna be

going out and doing a whole bunch of fun things and meeting a bunch of people and

getting together with a bunch of people heck we just talked about it with tip

number 1 but if you're going to be doing those

things then use those experiences in those situations as inspiration for your

writing make sure that you take a writing notebook along with you because

you'd be surprised how much inspiration and how many ideas come to you while

you're out with a large group of people in fact this is one of my advice one of

my tips or pieces advice for people who are kind of stuck or not sure what they

want to write about I tell them to go and people watch because there's nothing

more interesting than people and when you're out at a party or your ice

skating with your friends or you're meeting a group for coffee or you're out

to dinner or whatever there are people all around you there are stories waiting

to be told all around you so while you're out enjoying all the holiday

festivities use those outings and those experiences as inspiration and jot down

any ideas that you have so that when you do write later you've got a plethora of

new things to work with number three don't be afraid to change up your

routine we as writers are creatures of habit we know what works for our process

and what doesn't work for our process and that can get a little sticky when it

comes to the holidays because the schedules are crazy our schedules are

jam-packed or we just have a million things going on at one time and so it

can be really difficult to stick to that writer routine so for the month of

December or for this busy season don't be afraid to change up your routine and

that means that maybe you are a morning writer you get up early and you write

and for whatever reason you've got family in or you've got parties or

activities to go to and you just can't go get up early in the morning and write

well then change it up and set aside some time around lunch or in the evening

after everybody's asleep sit down and write then if you have to or vice versa

like I'm a evening writer myself but that's proving to be challenging as

we're having more and more christmas parties in the evenings and we're

getting home late from parades and other activities that we're doing so I'm

changing things up I'm getting up earlier and I'm writing during the day

because that just happens to be when I have time to write so I guess

I'm saying with this one is be a little bit more flexible and don't use the oh

well I have a party during my writing time as an excuse to not write change up

your schedule and write whenever you can even if it's just you know 10 minutes

during your lunch break or 30 minutes while your kid naps or you know an hour

while you're waiting for whatever change up your routine so that you

make time to write and don't get bogged down by parties and everything else

eating into your writing time number 4 utilize non writing tasks now here's

what I mean with this one there are a lot of times when you're gonna be out

doing something or you're gonna be at somebody's house where you're not doing

something that requires a lot of brainpower if that makes sense

for example when my family gets together for the holidays they watch a lot of

sports like a lot of sports we're talking football all the time guys and I

love a good football game but it just doesn't pique my interest 24/7 so you

know I want to be around my family I want to be visiting with them and

sitting and talking with everybody but while I'm watching football I have my

writers notebook I'm jotting down notes maybe I'm going through my manuscript

and making little edits checking my grammar that sort of thing

or maybe I'm conducting some research on my laptop something that I can do while

I'm still you know semi participating in what's going on around me so when you're

going to a party or you have to attend some sort of function then utilize those

non writing tasks where you can still be working on your novel you can still be

working towards your story without actually having to do any of the writing

or maybe you're one of these people that can write with a million other things

going on I cannot do that I need complete quiet and focus but I have seen

people who are in the middle of the loudest craziest room over there typing

away and getting words down so make sure that you're utilizing the time that you

have and if you're able to work on some of those tasks while still participating

in all of the fun holiday festivities then go for it like use what you got and

make it work for you tip number five and this is for all you mommas and daddies

out there okay this may sound bad but I'm gonna say it when you have people coming

to visit you think of them as built-in babysitters and politely ask them to

watch your children for you for 30 minutes so that you can go and get some

words on the page that sounds terrible doesn't it but seriously guys like when

friends and family come to visit and you got kids they ain't coming for you they're

coming to see your kids so there's no shame in asking them to you know watch

the kids for five or ten minutes you know heck even up to an hour if you

feeling dangerous and kind of excusing yourself and getting some writing done

so yeah utilize those built-in babysitters that's what family is for

but yeah why not right use those and don't have any shame about it

and lastly guys tip number six for how to write during this crazy holiday

season is to cut yourself some slack and enjoy I think we oftentimes get so

wrapped up in a writing land that we forget to stop and enjoy things we take

the little moments for granted and we get so stressed out or so up in our head

with things that we don't enjoy the beauty around us and so I think

especially this time of year you have to stop and let yourself enjoy it and don't

be worried so much about I gotta get X number of words done today or oh my god

I got to finish this chapter like let yourself relax and enjoy it

if you write awesome if you hit your workout awesome if you don't guess what

that's okay too like this is the time of year where you get to enjoy life but

like I mean you should be enjoying life all year round but I feel like Christmas

really kind of forces us to focus on love and charity and peace on earth and

kindness and just everything that Christmas brings love and joy and hope

and all that jazz and I really feel like this

the time of year where you should really let yourself enjoy it and relish in it

so cut yourself some slack you managed to get some writing done that's

fantastic and if you don't and that's okay too

grab a cup of cocoa watch a movie go out and build a snowman like have fun and

then come 2018 you can get right back on the horse and get back to work alrighty

guys so that's all I've got for you today just some quick and easy tips for

how you can write and still feel productive during this crazy but

wonderful holiday season if you have any tips or tricks of your own that you

Things You Can't Buy In North Korea - Duration: 4:26.

There's no place on Earth that's quite as isolated as North Korea, which makes it one

of the most intriguing cultures on the planet.

Thanks to details shared by people who have visited or defected, we've gotten a clearer

picture of what it's like to live in North Korea, and sometimes it's the absence of the

little things that can be the most shocking.

Although members of North Korea's elite can get their hands on just about anything they

want, ordinary North Koreans are resigned to a world without many of the things we Westerners

take for granted.

Here are a few staple items of our culture that are off-limits to the ordinary North

Korean citizen.

Coca-Cola

There are only a scant few countries on earth where Coca-Cola does not do business, and

naturally North Korea is one of them.

Sanctions have made it impossible for the soda giant to infiltrate the Hermit Kingdom,

but that doesn't mean the North Korean people don't have a taste for The Real Thing.

You can buy any number of different Coke knock-offs in ordinary restaurants and grocery stores,

and at least one of them sort of looks a little bit like a real Coke.

According to The Telegraph, if you're a wealthy North Korean, a Chinese businessman, or a

tourist, you can get your hands on it.

But even then you'll be reassured by the waitstaff that you're not drinking cola made by "saber-rattling

imperialists."

No, it's "Italian Coke," made in Italy… whatever that is.

Kim Jong-un's Haircut

A few years ago, Kim Jong-un's haircut was actual fashion.

Men all over the country wanted to look like their Dear Leader, so they had themselves

cut to match.

Now, despite a viral story that fooled plenty, the haircut was not in fact mandatory — people

were doing it out of love.

But alas, all that flattery-by-imitation started to annoy the supreme leader so he's had the

cut left off of the list of "state-approved" haircuts.

Which is probably a good thing, since mirrors are still available in North Korean markets.

Pop music

Music is a sensitive subject for Kim Jong-un.

If it doesn't say nice things about him, or at the very least nice things about his departed

ancestors, the regime, and the great land of North Korea, it's a capital crime.

The regime recently had 12 musicians, including Jong-un's ex-girlfriend, publicly executed

for such crimes as singing about stuff the dear leader doesn't approve of.

The official reason for for most of these sentences was that the music was akin to "pornography,"

but that hasn't stopped some music fans from forming an underground market for restricted

listening material.

There are even some reports that his ban is actively generating interest in old, prohibited

songs.

Starbucks

What could be more imperialist than a caramel macchiato from Starbucks?

The coffee chain is definitely an American institution, which is why you won't find one

in Pyongyang.

There are coffee shops in North Korea's capital that have a similar feel to what you'd find

on any given corner in the metro cities of the United States, so there's no love lost

on the lack of mermaid symbolitry.

As one North Korean coffee shop owner said of the American chain,

"I think it's for people who don't really understand good coffee."

Now, that burns.

Hair dye

Going blonde is not an option for North Koreans, and neither is going red, green, or rainbow-striped.

Everyone's hair has to be black, unless it's gray — only then do you have the option

of dying it.

Hair dye is considered a "capitalist trend" and must be eradicated at all costs.

So what happens if you defy the regime and get your hair dyed anyway?

Both you and your hairdresser get punished.

McDonald's

North Koreans also can't get McDonald's... unless they're among the super rich who can

afford to have their Happy Meals imported from China, of course.

Otherwise, citizens have to thank their former leader, Kim Jong-Il for inventing the hamburger

himself in 2009... or so they're told.

This is where that whole limited information thing comes in handy, guys.

iPhones

It might come as no surprise that the same nation that doesn't allow most citizens to

use the full internet wouldn't get in on the iPhone craze.

But it's not for the reason you think.

Like other American companies, Apple just doesn't do business in North Korea.

As such, citizens who want to have mobile phones rely on imitation Apple products, like

the North Korean smartphone that looks suspiciously like the iPhone.

What its App Store is allowed to contain is anyone's guess..

Piercings

You can get your ears pierced in North Korea, but forget a nose piercing or a cute little

belly ring.

Piercings are also seen as symbols of Western imperialism, much like jeans and ponytails....

which makes Kim Jong-Un's strange friendship with Dennis Rodman all the more perplexing.

According to The Telegraph, the North Korean fashion police are also in search of skirts

that are too short, shoes that aren't the right shape, blue jeans, and people wearing

T-shirts.

The potential punishment for these indiscretions?

Labor camps.

Yes, really.

Are you really willing to sacrifice everything for your denim?

#وجبات_15_ثانية | كساديا بالخبز العربي 15smeals | Quesadilla With Arabic Bread# - Duration: 2:16.

Hello!

this is Raghad speaking

and today we'll be making Quesadilla chicken

but rather than making it the traditional way,

I will change a bit and make it with Arabic bread

we'll see the ingredients, and start right away!

first, on a griller: 2 tbs oil, 1 chopped onion,

a pinch of oregano, basil, and garlic powder

add the chicken, and keep flipping

then add tsb tomato paste, black pepper, and salt

lower the flames, until the chicken is completely cooked

then add ¼ cup cooking cream, that I used

or you could replace it with whipping cream, and keep mixing

usually, we do use cream with quesadilla, but we wanted to make some change

and to make the chicken more moisturized

lastly, add a juiced lemon, mix the chicken a bit more

and take side

take Arabian bread, spread the chicken stuffing on half the bread

same way we usually stuff quesadilla

add lettuce slices, onion,

two slices of cheddar cheese

close the bread, put it inside the griller

take it out, cut it, and surve it right away!

buy this step, we finished our delicious recipe for today

hope you liked it!

don't forget to like and subscribe

And Bon Appetit !!

Parables of Jesus - Part 2 - Enjoying Everyday Life - Duration: 28:34.

ANNOUNCER: THE FOLLOWING PROGRAM IS PAID FOR BY

THE FRIENDS AND PARTNERS OF JOYCE MEYER MINISTRIES.

[MUSIC]

JOYCE: "THERE WAS A CERTAIN MAN WHO HAD TWO SONS, AND THE

YOUNGER ONE SAID TO HIS FATHER, 'FATHER, GIVE ME THE PART OF THE

INHERITANCE THAT BELONGS TO ME,' AND HE DIVIDED THE ESTATE

BETWEEN THEM."

I WANT YOU TO NOTICE THAT THIS YOUNG MAN, IN HIS IMMATURITY,

WHAT HE SAID TO HIS FATHER WAS, "GIVE ME."

AND THAT'S THE WAY WE START OUT WITH GOD, "GIVE ME, GIVE ME,

GIVE ME, GIVE ME, GIVE ME, GIVE ME, GIVE ME."

LATER ON, YOU'LL SEE THAT HE CHANGED HIS TUNE, BUT THIS IS

WHERE HE STARTED.

AND SO, THE FATHER DIVIDED THE ESTATE BETWEEN THEM.

NOW, THE THING YOU MAY NOT REALIZE IS IN THAT CULTURE,

A CHILD NEVER, EVER TALKED TO A PARENT ABOUT MONEY OR THEIR

INHERITANCE.

IT WAS TOTALLY OUT OF THE QUESTION, IT WAS SOMETHING

YOU DID NOT DO.

SO, NUMBER ONE, TO EVEN MENTION THAT TO HIS FATHER WAS, LIKE,

THE RUDEST THING THAT HE COULD DO.

SECONDLY, WHEN HE ASKED FOR HIS INHERITANCE, WHICH THE CHILDREN

DID NOT GET TILL THE FATHER DIED, HE JUST THE SAME AS SAID,

"I WISH YOU WERE DEAD."

BUT YOU KNOW THE THING THAT I FIND INTERESTING?

HIS FATHER GAVE IT TO HIM.

AND I THINK THERE'S REALLY SOMETHING IMPORTANT THERE, AND

I'LL TELL YOU WHY I THINK WHAT I THINK IN JUST A LITTLE BIT.

"AND NOT MANY DAYS AFTER THAT, THE YOUNGER SON GATHERED UP ALL

THAT HE HAD AND HE WENT INTO A DISTANT COUNTRY, AND HE WASTED

HIS FORTUNE."

HOW MANY TIMES HAVE WE SAID TO OUR KIDS, "YOU'RE NOT GOING TO

TAKE WHAT I'VE WORKED HARD FOR ALL MY LIFE AND JUST WASTE IT"?

YOU EVER SAID THAT TO ONE OF YOUR KIDS?

NO?

WELL, YOU'RE A BETTER PARENT THAN ME.

AND--BUT HE WASTED HIS FORTUNE.

"AND WHEN HE HAD SPENT ALL THAT HE HAD, A MIGHTY FAMINE CAME

AND HE HAD NOTHING TO EAT.

SO HE WENT AND HE FORCED HIMSELF ON A FARMER WHO FINALLY SAID,

'I'LL LET YOU FEED MY HOGS.' AND HE WOULD HAVE GLADLY FED AND

FILLED HIS BODY WITH THE SAME FOOD HE WAS FEEDING THE HOGS."

BUT I LOVE THIS, IN VERSE 16, IT SAYS, "BUT THEY COULD NOT

SATISFY HIS HUNGER."

CAN I TELL YOU THAT A LIFE OF SIN WILL NEVER SATISFY

YOUR HUNGER?

YOU CAN LEAVE HOME AND RUN AWAY FROM THE FATHER'S HOUSE,

THINKING THAT THE WORLD HAS WHAT YOU WANT.

"OH, I'LL BE FAMOUS IF I DO THIS, OR I'LL MAKE MORE MONEY IF

I DO THAT, OR I'LL BE MORE WELL-KNOWN IF I DO THAT."

I CAN TELL YOU WHAT, YOU CAN GO GET IT, BUT IT'S STILL GOING TO

LEAVE YOU EMPTY BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING THE WORLD HAS THAT CAN

SATISFY THE SPIRITUAL HUNGER THAT WE HAVE ON THE INSIDE

OF US.

ONLY GOD CAN FILL THAT PLACE UP, NOTHING ELSE, AMEN?

[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]

JOYCE: AND YOU KNOW, SOME PEOPLE,

WHETHER HERE TONIGHT OR WATCHING BY TELEVISION, I MEAN, YOU ARE

TRYING SO HARD TO CLIMB THE LADDER OF SUCCESS, BUT YOU

BETTER BE CAREFUL THAT YOU DON'T GET TO THE END OF YOUR LIFE AND

FIND OUT YOUR LADDER'S LEANED AGAINST THE WRONG BUILDING.

SO, HE WAS HUNGRY, NOBODY GAVE HIM ANYTHING BETTER.

I LOVE VERSE 17, "THEN WHEN HE CAME TO HIMSELF."

HE HAD, "OH, WHAT AM I DOING?" I THINK WE ALL NEED TO HAVE

A MEETING WITH OURSELVES A LITTLE MORE OFTEN.

IT'S LIKE, "WHAT AM I DOING?

AND YOU KNOW, IS WHAT I'M DOING REALLY BRINGING ANY SATISFACTION

TO MY LIFE?" YOU KNOW, MAYBE SOMEBODY HERE

TONIGHT, OR SOMEBODY WATCHING BY TV, MAYBE YOU'LL COME TO

YOURSELF DURING OUR TIME TOGETHER.

MAYBE YOU'LL HAVE, LIKE, THIS EPIPHANY, THIS--YOU'LL WAKE UP

AND GO, "WOW, I'VE BEEN LIVING IN A FOG, I'VE BEEN LOST."

"HE SAID--HE CAME TO HIMSELF AND HE SAID, 'HOW MANY OF EVEN

MY FATHER'S HIRED SERVANTS HAVE ENOUGH FOOD, AND HERE I'M DYING

OF HUNGER.

I'M GOING TO GET UP AND GO TO MY FATHER, AND I WILL SAY TO HIM,

"FATHER, I HAVE SINNED AGAINST HEAVEN AND IN YOUR SIGHT.

I'M NO LONGER WORTHY TO BE CALLED YOUR SON, MAKE ME LIKE

ONE OF YOUR HIRED SERVANTS."'" I LOVE THIS, HE STARTED OUT

SAYING, "GIVE ME, GIVE ME, GIVE ME, GIVE ME."

NOW, ALL OF A SUDDEN, HE'S OVER HERE SAYING, "MAKE ME WHATEVER

YOU WANT TO MAKE ME.

MAKE ME WHATEVER YOU SEE FIT.

I DON'T CARE IF IT'S A SERVANT IN YOUR HOUSE.

WHATEVER IT IS, YOUR WILL BE DONE."

IMMATURE BABY CHRISTIANS, "GIVE ME, GIVE ME, GIVE ME, GIVE ME."

SPIRITUALLY IMMATURE SONS AND DAUGHTERS, "MAKE ME WHAT YOU

WANT ME TO BE."

[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]

JOYCE: YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THIS BOY.

WHAT DID HE SPEND THAT MONEY ON?

EXCESSIVE DRINKING, IMMORAL WOMEN, PERHAPS GAMBLING,

THE BEST OF EVERYTHING THE WORLD HAD TO OFFER.

HIS LODGINGS WERE PROBABLY THE BEST.

HE PROBABLY BOUGHT ALL OF HIS FRIENDS DRINKS SO HE'D LOOK LIKE

A BIG SHOT.

HE ATE THE BEST FOOD.

HE THOUGHT HE WAS LIVING THE GOOD LIFE, LIVING HIGH,

BUT NOTHING COULD SATISFY HIS HUNGER.

THERE'S A SPIRITUAL MESSAGE HERE.

YOU MAY THINK YOU'VE GOT THE WORLD BY THE TAIL, BUT YOU

BETTER STOP LONG ENOUGH TO ASK YOURSELF WHAT YOU FEEL LIKE

INSIDE, AND WHAT DO YOU FEEL LIKE WHEN THE MUSIC STOPS, AND

YOU'RE HOME AT NIGHT, AND YOU'RE LAYING IN YOUR BED BY YOURSELF,

AND THERE'S NOBODY THERE BUT YOU AND THE SILENCE.

HE ENDED UP IN THE PIG PEN OF LIFE.

CAN I TELL YOU THAT SIN ALWAYS HAS ITS CONSEQUENCES?

ALWAYS.

BE SURE YOUR SIN WILL FIND YOU OUT.

THE BIBLE SAYS, "THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH."

PSALM 38:3 SAYS, "THERE'S--" DAVID SAID, "THERE'S NO

SOUNDNESS IN MY FLESH BECAUSE OF YOUR INDIGNATION.

NEITHER IS ANY HEALTH OR REST IN MY BONES BECAUSE OF MY SIN."

HE WAS JUST TALKING ABOUT HOW MISERABLE HE WAS UNTIL HE

REPENTED THOROUGHLY OF HIS SIN AND CAME BACK TO HIS FATHER.

THE YOUNG MAN'S CONSEQUENCES OF SIN CAME CRASHING IN ON HIM:

NO MONEY, NO HOME, NO GOOD EMPLOYMENT, NO FOOD, NO JOY,

NO PEACE, FULL OF GUILT, FULL OF REGRET.

BUT HE MADE A DECISION.

HE MADE A DECISION TO GO HOME.

THERE'S PEOPLE IN HERE TONIGHT, YOU NEED TO MAKE A DECISION TO

COME HOME.

YOUR FATHER'S WAITING FOR YOU, HE'S BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU.

MANY WATCHING BY TELEVISION, YOU NEED TO MAKE A DECISION.

YOU NEED TO ASK JESUS INTO YOUR HEART.

YOU NEED TO REPENT OF YOUR SINS AND FIND OUT WHAT IT'S LIKE TO

HAVE A REAL LIFE, NOT JUST THAT PHONY, PLASTIC, PRETEND LIFE

THAT THE WORLD IS OFFERING YOU, AMEN?

[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]

JOYCE: "BUT HOW'S MY FATHER GOING TO FEEL AFTER WHAT I'VE

DONE?

WILL HE TAKE ME BACK?" YOU KNOW, PEOPLE SOMETIMES SAY,

"WELL, I WANT TO--I WANT TO HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS AFTER

I GET MYSELF CLEANED UP."

WELL, SEE, THAT'S JUST LIKE--THAT'S POINTLESS BECAUSE

YOU CAN'T FIX YOURSELF.

YOU CAN'T CLEAN YOURSELF UP.

WHEN YOU GO TO JESUS, IT'S A COME AS YOU ARE PARTY, AND HE

TAKES YOU JUST THE WAY YOU ARE, AND THEN HE HELPS YOU BECOME

WHAT YOU WANT TO BE.

BUT THE FATHER, OH MY GOSH, THE FATHER.

"SO HE GOT UP AND HE CAME TO HIS FATHER, BUT WHILE HE WAS STILL A

LONG WAY OFF, THE FATHER SAW HIM AND WAS MOVED WITH PITY

AND COMPASSION, AND HE RAN AND EMBRACED HIM AND KISSED HIM

FERVENTLY."

NOW, HERE'S THE THING THAT WHEN YOU--WHEN YOU REALLY GET DOWN

TO STUDYING THIS, I MEAN, THE FATHER DIDN'T KNOW WHY

THE BOY WAS COMING BACK.

HE COULD HAVE BEEN COMING BACK ASKING FOR MORE MONEY.

BUT HE DIDN'T--YOU KNOW, SO OFTEN WE THINK ABOUT--WE GET SO

SUSPICIOUS, AND WE THINK ABOUT ALL THE WHAT IF'S.

AND IS SOMEBODY GOING TO TRY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF US?

BUT HIS FATHER WAS REJOICING OVER THE ONE THING THAT HE COULD

FIND POSITIVE.

HE LAID EYES ON HIS SON, HE'S COMING IN MY DIRECTION.

LET'S LOOK AT THIS IN A POSITIVE WAY AND BELIEVE THAT SOMETHING

GOOD IS GOING TO HAPPEN.

NOW, HIS FATHER RAN TO HIM, AND IN THAT CULTURE, IT WAS TOTALLY

UNDIGNIFIED FOR AN ELDERLY MAN TO RUN.

YOU JUST DIDN'T DO IT.

AND HE GOT VERY EMOTIONAL.

THAT WAS ANOTHER THING THAT ELDERLY MEN DID NOT DO, THEY

NEVER DISPLAYED THEIR EMOTIONS.

BUT CAN I TELL YOU SOMETHING?

GOD GETS SO EXCITED ABOUT YOU THAT HE WILL ACT DOWNRIGHT

UNDIGNIFIED IF HE NEEDS TO.

COME ON.

AND YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE IN ONE OF THE FROZEN CHOSEN CHURCHES

WHERE NOBODY MOVES AND NOBODY-- I MEAN,

YOU'VE HAD MORE FUN IN HERE IN 30 MINUTES THAN YOU'VE

HAD PROBABLY IN THE LAST 30 YEARS, SOME PLACES.

[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]

JOYCE: BECAUSE IN SOME CHURCHES, YOU DON'T LAUGH,

YOU DON'T MOVE, YOU DON'T CLAP.

I REMEMBER WE USED TO TELL OUR KIDS THAT THEY WOULD EVEN MAKE

A NOISE, "BE QUIET, YOU'RE IN THE HOUSE OF GOD."

IT'S NO WONDER KIDS GROW UP PETRIFIED OF GOD AND DON'T WANT

ANYTHING TO DO WITH HIM.

AND SO THEN, MAN, IF THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT YOU EVER BEEN TO

SOMETHING LIKE THIS, MAYBE YOU'VE BEEN WATCHING ME ON

TELEVISION, AND YOU THOUGHT I WAS REAL NICE, CALM.

YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THIS JUMPING UP AND DOWN WORSHIP

THING WE HAD GOING ON, AND THESE STROBE LIGHTS,

AND ALL THAT STUFF.

I DON'T KNOW, DO WE HAVE THE FOG MACHINE GOING TONIGHT?

I NEVER HAVE FIGURED THAT OUT, WHY WE NEED THAT, BUT THEY SAY

WE DO, SO WE HAVE IT.

[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]

JOYCE: AND YOU KNOW, PEOPLE COULD COME IN

AND SEE US, AND SAY, "WELL, THAT'S JUST A BUNCH OF EMOTION."

WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT?

IF I'M GOING TO ACT UNDIGNIFIED AND GET EMOTIONAL ABOUT

ANYTHING, WHY WOULDN'T IT BE ABOUT WHAT GOD HAS DONE

IN MY LIFE?

[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]

JOYCE: I MEAN, WHY WOULD I WANT TO GO TO A FOOTBALL GAME

AND MAKE A TOTAL FOOL OUT OF MYSELF, BUT WHEN I'M AROUND GOD,

I THINK...

NOW, THERE'S DECENCY AND ORDER, AND WE DON'T NEED TO

INTERRUPT SERVICES.

AND YOU KNOW, I UNDERSTAND ALL THAT, BUT CHURCH DOESN'T HAVE TO

BE A SOLEMN ASSEMBLY ALL THE TIME.

I MEAN, I BELIEVE THAT GOD HAS GOT A SENSE OF HUMOR.

HE'D HAVE TO HAVE TO CALL ALL OF US.

"AND THE SON SAID TO THE FATHER," NOW THIS IS GOOD,

"FATHER, I'VE SINNED AGAINST HEAVEN AND EARTH, AND IN YOUR

SIGHT, AND I'M NO LONGER WORTHY TO BE CALLED YOUR SON.

I NO LONGER DESERVE TO BE RECOGNIZED AS A SON OF YOURS."

I MEAN, HE HAD HIS SPEECH ALL PREPARED.

YOU EVER DONE THAT WHEN YOU NEED TO APOLOGIZE TO SOMEBODY,

YOU GO OVER IT AND OVER IT?

I MEAN, YOU PICK OUT ALL YOUR BEST I'M SORRY WORDS.

AND YOU KNOW, HERE'S THE THING THAT WAS INTERESTING.

BEFORE THE KID EVER EVEN GOT IT ALL OUT OF HIS MOUTH, FIRST OF

ALL, THE FATHER HAD ALREADY FORGIVEN HIM BEFORE HE EVEN

REPENTED.

NOW, HE RECEIVED THAT FORGIVENESS THROUGH OWNING UP TO

HIS SIN, BUT THE FATHER WAS SO GLAD TO HAVE HIM BACK, I MEAN,

HE STARTED WITH THE RING ON HIS FINGER, THE SANDALS ON HIS FEET,

THE BEST ROBE, THE FATTED CALF, AND THEN HE PLANNED A PARTY.

AND EACH ONE OF THOSE THINGS, LIKE THE RING, THAT RING WAS

A SIGNET RING AND IT WAS A SIGN OF AUTHORITY.

SO, WHAT WAS HE SAYING TO HIS SON?

"YOU'RE NOT GOING TO COME BACK TO MY HOUSE AS A SERVANT.

YOU'RE COMING BACK AS MY SON."

AMEN?

SO, LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, WHEN YOU HAVE BEEN LOST, AND YOU

HAVE MISSED GOD TERRIBLY, AND YOU HAVE BACKSLIDDEN, AND YOU

EVEN AS A BELIEVER HAVE DONE SOME OF THE WORST THINGS YOU

COULD POSSIBLY IMAGINE, AND YOU COME BACK TO GOD, THAT DOESN'T

MEAN THAT YOU HAVE TO TAKE A BACK SEAT.

NOW, THERE MAY BE SOME PERIODS OF RESTITUTION AND THERE MAY BE

THINGS LIKE THAT, BUT AS FAR AS YOU AND GOD ARE CONCERNED,

YOU'RE STILL HIS SON.

YOU HAVE THAT AUTHORITY AS A CHILD OF GOD.

THE BEST ROBE, IT WAS THE FATHER'S ROBE, IT WAS HIS

SPECIAL ROBE THAT WAS ONLY WORN FOR SPECIAL OCCASIONS.

THE FATTED CALF, YOU ONLY KILLED THE FATTED CALF WHEN IT WAS

A VERY SPECIAL OCCASION THAT WAS GOING ON.

BUT THE THING THAT I LOVE WAS THE FATHER'S HEART TOWARD THIS

BOY WHO HAD GOTTEN HIMSELF LOST IN SIN.

EVEN THOUGH HE WASTED HIS FATHER'S FORTUNE, HE SAID,

"I WISH YOU WERE DEAD," IN ALL ESSENCE, "I WISH YOU WERE DEAD.

I DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOU."

HE'D BEEN RUDE TO HIM.

THE FATHER'S HEART WAS STILL, "I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU

TO COME HOME."

I'LL GIVE YOU A NATURAL EXAMPLE OF THIS, I JUST THOUGHT ABOUT

THIS TODAY.

PASTOR MIKE, WHO HELPS HERE IN THE MEETINGS, AND MANY OF YOU,

YOU'VE MET HIM BECAUSE HE COMES TO THE MEETINGS EARLY, AND HE

GOES AROUND AND TALKS TO EVERYBODY, AND MAYBE HE'S EVEN

CALLED YOU, IF YOU'RE A PARTNER, HE'S PRAYED WITH YOU OR

SOMETHING.

AND SO, I'VE KNOWN HIM FOR OVER 30 YEARS, AND I KNOW HIS HEART.

I MEAN, HE'S THE GREATEST GUY.

WELL, I GOT AN EMAIL--TEXT MESSAGE FROM HIM LAST WEEK, AND

IT WAS PRETTY LENGTHY, AND IT STARTED OUT IT WAS LIKE THIS

HEARTFELT, HUMBLE APOLOGY FOR A MISTAKE THAT HE HAD MADE IN THAT

HE WAS SUPPOSED TO DO SOMETHING THAT I ASKED HIM TO DO LAST

DECEMBER, AND LO AND BEHOLD, HE NOW JUST FOUND OUT THAT HE

FORGOT TO DO IT.

AND I MEAN, HE WAS JUST--HE WAS HEARTBROKEN.

WELL NOW, AND I HOPE YOU DON'T TAKE THIS WRONG, BUT I READ

THE FIRST COUPLE OF LINES, AND I ALREADY SAW WHERE THIS

WAS GOING.

AND SO, I SKIMMED THE REST, I DIDN'T EVEN NEED TO READ IT

BECAUSE I ALREADY FORGAVE HIM BEFORE I EVER EVEN KNEW WHAT

HE DID.

COME ON NOW, THAT'S WHAT RELATIONSHIP DOES.

I HAD NO NEED TO PUNISH HIM, I HAD NO NEED TO MAKE HIM FEEL

BAD, I DIDN'T NEED TO REPRIMAND HIM, I DIDN'T NEED TO SAY,

"WELL, NOW CAN I TRUST YOU IN THE FUTURE?"

YOU KNOW WHY?

BECAUSE HIS HEART WAS SO MUCH MORE IMPORTANT TO ME THAN

THE MISTAKE THAT HE MADE.

COME ON, GOD WANTS TO TALK TO YOU TONIGHT.

YOUR HEART TOWARD GOD IS SO MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THAN A MISTAKE

THAT YOU MAKE.

YOU KNOW, I SAID THAT I WOULD TELL YOU WHY I THOUGHT

THE FATHER GAVE THE PRODIGAL THE INHERITANCE, EVEN THOUGH HE

ALREADY KNEW HE'S GOING TO GO WASTE IT.

BECAUSE SOMETIMES TO GET THE PRODIGAL BACK, YOU HAVE TO

LET HIM GO.

AND THERE'S SOME PARENTS THAT NEED TO HEAR THAT.

AND HERE'S WHAT I WROTE DOWN.

THE BOY'S WRONG ATTITUDE WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN FIXED IN THE

COMFORT OF HIS FATHER'S CARE.

HE HAD TO EXPERIENCE SOME HARSH REALITIES OF LIFE IN ORDER TO

WAKE UP AND REALIZE WHAT HE HAD AT HOME BEFORE HE LEFT, AMEN?

NOW, WHEW, LET'S LOOK AT THE ELDER BROTHER.

CAN WE HANDLE THAT GUY?

LUKE CHAPTER 15, VERSE 25 THROUGH 30,

"BUT HIS OLDER SON WAS IN THE FIELD, AND AS HE

RETURNED AND CAME NEAR TO THE HOUSE, HE HEARD THE MUSIC

AND THE DANCING."

AND I CAN TELL YOU RIGHT AWAY HE ALREADY GOT AN ATTITUDE.

"AND HAVING CALLED ONE OF THE SERVANT BOYS TO HIM, HE BEGAN TO

ASK HIM, 'WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?'" I'M TELLING YOU WHAT,

LEGALISTICALLY SOUR, RELIGIOUS PEOPLE, THEY'RE NOT BIG ON JOY.

HAVE ANY OF YOU EVER BEEN JUST AN OLD, SOURED UP RELIGIOUS

PERSON, AND NOW YOU'RE FREE FROM THAT, YOU GOT A DEEP

RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD?

HAVE YOU?

ALL RIGHT, LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION, WERE YOU EVER

VERY HAPPY?

NO, YOU KNOW?

DID YOU FIND THAT YOU JUDGED OTHER THINGS AND JUDGED OTHER

PEOPLE, AND YOU KNOW?

I MEAN, YOU KNOW, THE PEOPLE WHO JUDGE ME THE MOST FOR WHAT I DO

ARE THE ONES WHO ARE DOING NOTHING.

[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]

JOYCE: AND THAT'S--THAT'LL BE THE WAY IT'LL BE FOR YOUR

LIFE TOO.

I MEAN, YOU'LL GET EXCITED ABOUT JESUS, AND GET A RELATIONSHIP

WITH JESUS.

AND YOU KNOW, PEOPLE WHO DON'T WANT TO SERVE GOD, THEY DON'T

WANT YOU TO BE EXCITED.

THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO BE HAPPY.

THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO HAVE ANYTHING THAT THEY DON'T HAVE.

SO, THE ONLY WAY THEY CAN GET AROUND IT IS TO FIND SOMETHING

WRONG WITH YOU.

AND SO, THEN THEY CRITICIZE YOU, AND THEY'LL REJECT YOU, AND TELL

YOU THEY DON'T WANT TO HAVE RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU.

BUT I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, YOU HANG ON TO GOD BECAUSE HE'S THE BEST

FRIEND YOU'LL EVER HAVE.

[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]

JOYCE: OKAY, READING ON HERE, "'WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

WHAT'S THIS MUSIC?' AND HE SAID TO HIM,

'YOUR BROTHER HAS COME AND YOUR FATHER HAS KILLED

THE FATTED CALF BECAUSE HE HAS RECEIVED HIM BACK

ALIVE AND WELL.'" WELL, HE KNEW VERY WELL IF DAD

HAD KILLED THAT SPECIAL CALF THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING GOING

ON HERE.

"THE ELDER BROTHER WAS ANGRY WITH DEEP SEATED WRATH, AND HE

RESOLVED THAT HE WOULD NOT GO IN TO THE PARTY."

I LOVE THIS BECAUSE HERE'S THE THING I WANT TO TELL YOU.

GOD WANTS YOU TO COME TO THE PARTY, BUT HE'S HAVING A PARTY

WHETHER YOU COME OR NOT.

SO, YOU MIGHT AS WELL JUST GET IN ON IT AND NOT JUST SIT

OUTSIDE AND, "WELL, THOSE PEOPLE ARE ALL JUST EMOTIONAL."

WELL, YOU OUGHT TO TRY COMING SOMETIME AND JUMP IN THE MIDDLE

OF IT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

"HE WAS ANGRY WITH DEEP SEATED WRATH AND HE RESOLVED NOT

TO GO IN.

THEN HIS FATHER CAME OUT AND HE BEGAN TO PLEAD WITH HIM, 'SON,

PLEASE COME IN, PLEASE COME IN.' BUT HE ANSWERED HIS FATHER,

'LOOK, THESE--'" CAN YOU JUST

FEEL THE INDIGNATION?

"LOOK, THESE MANY YEARS I'VE SERVED YOU."

HERE WE GO, LET'S HEAR YOUR RECORD OF GOOD WORKS.

"AND I'VE NEVER DISOBEYED YOUR COMMAND, AND YOU NEVER SO MUCH

AS GAVE ME EVEN ONE LITTLE GOAT."

OKAY, NOW YOU KNOW WHAT I SEE HERE?

THERE'S NO TELLING WHAT ALL HIS FATHER HAD DONE FOR HIM ALL

THOSE YEARS, BUT HE DID NOT SEE WHAT HIS FATHER HAD DONE, HE

ONLY SAW WHAT HE HAD NOT DONE.

"YOU NEVER GAVE ME SO MUCH AS A GOAT THAT I MIGHT REVEL, AND

FEAST, AND BE HAPPY, AND MAKE MERRY WITH MY FRIENDS.

AND WHEN THIS SON OF YOURS."

I FEEL THE ATTITUDE, I'VE HAD IT, "WHEN THIS SON OF YOURS."

YOU KNOW HOW IT IS WHEN YOU GET MAD AT ONE OF YOUR KIDS, ALL OF

A SUDDEN IT BECOMES YOUR HUSBAND'S KID, "YOUR SON."

"WHEN THIS SON OF YOURS ARRIVED, WHO HAS DEVOURED YOUR ESTATE

WITH IMMORAL WOMEN."

SEE, RIGHT AWAY HE WANTS TO BRING UP THE BOY'S SINS.

THERE'S NO JOY THAT HE CAME BACK, HE JUST WANTS TO BRING UP

EVERYTHING THAT HE DID WRONG.

YOU KNOW, LET'S GET THIS DOWN TO WHERE WE LIVE.

MAYBE YOU'VE BEEN THE ONE TO TAKE CARE OF THE ELDERLY

PARENTS, AND YOU'VE HAD ANOTHER SIBLING WHO JUST DIDN'T DO

ANYTHING, THEY DIDN'T DO THEIR PART AT ALL, AND YOU DID IT ALL,

AND IT COST YOU ALL THE MONEY, AND YOU KNOW, YOU GAVE UP A LOT

OF YOUR LIFE TO TAKE CARE OF THEM.

AND YOU KNOW, YOU'RE A CHRISTIAN, YOU'RE SAVED,

AND SO YOU DID WHAT YOU BELIEVED WAS RIGHT.

THOSE OTHER SIBLING'S LOST, THEY WERE JUST FULL OF THEMSELVES.

AND NOW, YOU KNOW, LAST MINUTE MOM DOESN'T HAVE VERY LONG TO

LIVE, THEY COME HOME NOW.

AND MOM SEEMS TO BE MORE GLAD TO SEE THEM THAN SHE WAS YOU ALL

THE YEARS YOU WERE THERE.

MATTER OF FACT, YOU TOOK ALL THE CRABBING AND COMPLAINING,

THE MOANING AND THE GROANING.

YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU'RE A CAREGIVER FOR SOMEBODY, IF

THEY'RE GOING TO GET MAD AT SOMEBODY, IT'S USUALLY YOU.

I KNOW BECAUSE I DID IT.

AND YOU THINK, "HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY CHASTISE ME FOR

SOMETHING I'M NOT DOING?

DO YOU REALIZE WHAT I AM DOING?" BUT WE'RE ALL KIND OF LIKE THAT.

YOU KNOW, WE TAKE OUT OUR FRUSTRATIONS ON THE PEOPLE THAT

WE LOVE THE MOST.

BUT SEE, JESUS SAID, "I CAN HAVE 99 SHEEP THAT NEVER GOT LOST,

BUT IF 1 GETS LOST, I'M GOING TO REJOICE MORE OVER THAT ONE THAT

GOT LOST AND CAME BACK THAN THE 99 WHO NEVER GOT LOST."

NOW, THAT DOESN'T MEAN HE'S NOT REJOICING OVER THE ONES THAT GOT

LOST, BUT IT'S A--IT'S A DIFFERENT KIND OF THING.

HE'S GOT A--THERE'S A DEEPER RELATIONSHIP.

WHY IN THE WORLD DO WE GET AGGRAVATED WHEN GOD

GETS GENEROUS?

NOW, IF YOU GROANED AT THAT, YOU MAY NOT WANT TO BE HERE

TOMORROW.

ARE YOU LEARNING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PARABLE TONIGHT?

[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]

JOYCE: "THESE MANY YEARS I'VE SERVED YOU.

YOU GAVE HIM THE FATTED CALF, YOU DIDN'T EVEN KILL A GOAT

FOR ME.

YOU'VE DONE NOTHING FOR ME."

AND LOOK AT WHAT THE FATHER SAID, "SON, ALL THESE YEARS

YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN WITH ME, AND EVERYTHING THAT'S BEEN MINE

HAS BEEN YOURS."

IN OTHER WORDS, HE COULD HAVE HAD ANYTHING, ALL OF IT,

AT ANY TIME.

WE HAVE SO MUCH IN GOD, AND WE DARE NOT START HAVING A BAD

ATTITUDE WHEN GOD'S GOOD TO SOMEBODY THAT WE THINK

DOESN'T DESERVE IT.

JOYCE: WELL, STUDYING THE PARABLES THAT JESUS TAUGHT

IN THE BIBLE IS JUST A WONDERFUL THING TO DO BECAUSE THERE'S

SO MANY AMAZING LESSONS IN EACH ONE.
