J-P-L-L-O! The Jell-O program starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston and Phil Harris in his orchestra. The orchestra opens a program with everything's in rhythm with my heart. When you were a youngster, did you ever go out and pick a pail full of fresh wild strawberries? If you did, you remember that wonderful fragrance, so tempting and delicious. Well, open a package of strawberry Jell-O and smell the fragrance that rises from that. You'll be amazed at this immediate proof of Jell-O's extra-rich fruit flavor. Then dissolve it in hot water and enjoy the delightful aroma again. And for your final proof of Jell-O's rich goodness, taste it. Extra-rich, crammed with fruit flavor. Strawberry, raspberry, cherry, orange, lemon and lime. All six tastes so refreshing, so delicious, they rival the real ripe fruit itself. For that wonderful flavor is put into Jell-O by a special process, which seals it there so that it can't get out. It's caught and held for you to enjoy in dozens of grand desserts and salads. Just be sure you get genuine Jell-O and don't accept any substitutes. Look for the big red letters on the box. They spell Jell-O. It's in rhythm with my heart played by the orchestra. Now, ladies and gentlemen, as is customary every Sunday at this time, we bring you a man who, uh, a man who, uh, say, Phil, where's Jack? I don't know. I didn't see him. He came in with Rochester a few minutes ago. I think they're in a little studio next door. Yes, he's in there rehearsing a scene for his new picture, and he's got Rochester reading Joan Bennet's part. Rochester reading Joan Bennet's part? How do you know? I peeked over the transom. That's fine. You used my shoulders to stand on, didn't even tell me. I'd like to get a load of that. Let's open the door and listen. Okay. There they are now. Quiet, everybody. Gee, I hope I don't sneeze. Listen. Well, Mr. Benny, how am I doing? Now, Rochester, you're not giving me anything. How can I be romantic if you don't put feeling into your lines? Now, when you read, when you read Miss Bennet's part, for goodness' sake, get into the mood of it. Mood?  Now, look, Rochester, all I want you to do is read those lines with a little punch. I want to be good and it's your job to help me. You always find a job for me. I am a. I started out driving your car, and now I'm your leading lady. You're not my leading lady.  Now, let's continue. Okay, is this the scene where we're on a honeymoon? No. Now, we're not even married yet. You mean we're still in the platonic stage? That's it. Now, here's the situation, Rochester. It is a warm summer afternoon. You're in the garden surrounded by poppies, roses, and gladiolas. Yeah? Yeah, birds are twinning in the branches of the weeping willow trees. Yeah. Little bees are fitting from blossom to blossom, droning a soft, soothing lullaby. Yeah. Butterflies are floating through the sweet, scented air. All is peaceful in the garden. Rochester, wake up. Rochester. Yes, sir. You'll please do me a favor and not fall asleep until my picture comes out. Now, let's take the scene again. You're by the garden wall picking rose buds. All of a sudden, you hear a sound. I leap over the wall, and there I am beside you. Now, I'll use this chair for the wall. I wouldn't jump over that if I was you. Don't worry about me. If you want to know something, I was the champion high jumper of Walkiegan High School. You had arches then. Never mind that. Now, this chair is still the wall. All right, let's go. Now, start picking flowers. Okay, I'm picking them. And you're singing. See, that's how I know you're in the garden. Now, here's the song right here. Go ahead. Well, go on. Love your magic spell is here. Oh, I feel silly doing this. Now, Rochester, it's only to help me out. Now, take it again. Okay. Good. Love your magic spell is here. Oh, Vivian. Vivian, are you alone? Yes, Conrad, my sweet. And I will leap over this wall and join you. Here I come, Vivian. Good, Major. Just pick me up and no comments. I would have to have my fountain pen and my hip pocket. Now, let's go on from there. Quiet, Mary. This ought to be good. Good. It'll be better than the picture. Oh, boy. Quiet, Cammy. Now, come on, Rochester. Let's get this. Vivian, my darling, I knew you'd be waiting. I'd be waiting forever, Conrad.  That's a maiden's prayer. Oh, Vivian, you're so beautiful.  My what? Your golden hair and don't interrupt. Park, I hear someone talking. It must be your father. Who's that behind Yon Magnolia Tree? It's such a big dope. Who? Yes, it's us. So you guys were eavesdropping, eh? Oh, I'm sorry, Jack, but we were looking all over for you. Well, I was just rehearsing a scene for my picture, and Rochester was helping me. You know, we start shooting pretty soon. See, you're going to be swelling it, Jack. Thanks, Kenny. Do you think so? Yeah, Rochester, too. Kenny, Rochester isn't going to be in it. He was just reading Joan Bennett's lines. Whose lines were you reading? My own. I play the part of Conrad Bagel, a dashing... a dashing young playboy. Well, he didn't seem very convincing or romantic. Well, naturally, I was just rehearsing. I can't be romantic working opposite Rochester. You cropped my style, too. All right, let's call it a draw.  It'll be a little tough for you, won't it? Oh, no, Don, jumping over a wall is very easy in pictures. You see, it's all done with wires. They hook a wire to the seat of my pants. And then when I say, here I come, Vivian, they yank me up and I fly right over the wall into the garden. Oh, it looks so natural. Wouldn't it be funny if just your pants came over the wall? Yeah, it sure would. It would be funny if you came over just ahead of your pants. Well, let's not get involved in this. If the worst comes to the worst, they can shoot me out of a cannon. Out of a cannon? Yes. They had a cannon at Paramount that had shot you a long time ago. Yes, so. I doubt that very much. Do you need me any more, boss? Yes, stick around, Rochester. You're going to be in our play later on. I am? Yes, so go over in the corner and sit down until we're ready for you. Okay, see you later, Conrad. The things I do for Paramount. This is an orchestra playing You Couldn't Be Cuter. And now, ladies and gentlemen, tonight, the Benny Greek Theatre players will present the second episode of Mark Twain and David O. Selznick's story and production of the adventures of Tom Sawyer. Once again, I will play the part of Tom Sawyer, that symbol of American youth.   No. You don't remember? Why, Mary, I kissed you right smack on your lips. Well, I've been around a lot since then. Oh, stop bragging. Now, Phil Harris. Now, Phil Harris will be my half-brother, Sid Sawyer, a sissy if there ever was one. Why don't we change parts tonight, Jack, and let me be Tom Sawyer? Definitely not. See, Phil, I was talking to Norman Toro, the big director. You know, he's the man who directed the picture. Well, he listened in last Sunday night, and I wish you could have heard what he said about my performance. Uh, tell him what he said, Jack. Oh, what does he know? He's in pictures. This is great. Hmm, those directors think they know everything. No kidding, Mary, what did he say? Well, it wasn't so much what he said. It was the way he kicked, Jack. Kick me? Huh. I could hardly feel it. Say, Jack. What, Kenny? When a big director kicks you, does he say action first? No, Kenny, it comes as a pleasant surprise. Now, let's go on with the casting. The part of the principal of the school, Mrs. Newton, will be played by that well-known actress, Miss Marlene D. Truff. Are you here, Miss, uh, are you here, Miss D. Truff? Here I am, Mr. Benny. Now, uh, you had quite a bit of experience in pictures, haven't you? Yes, I have. Well, tell me, what was your last starring role? I was awful in The Awful Truth. Oh, you were. That's funny, Jack, have the same part in Artisan Models. Mary. By the way, Miss D. Truff, didn't I see you in Old Chicago? Yeah, I used to live near the stockyards. I thought so, huh? Well, you do. Now, let's see, there's Huckleberry Finn. Where's Andy? Say, is the mayor of Van Nuys here yet? Here I am, Buck. Well, hello, Your Honor. How's everything in Van Nuys? Have you made any changes in the town? Yeah, Buck, I passed a new curfew law last week. A curfew law? What is it? All bulls have got to be home and in bed by 10 o'clock. Oh, you're on the reform ticket, huh? Well, how does your own bull feel about it? You mean Casanova? Yeah. He's trying to get me impeached. Well, I don't blame him. Say, Andy, have you made any new appointments since you've been elected mayor? Yes, Buck, I made my paw head at the Department of Sanitation. You did? Well, what was his first move? He took a bath.  Yeah, and say, Buck, you know, that long beard that paw had? Yeah. That wasn't a beard at all. It was just hay and dust. Well, I'll be Joe Gold. Say, did Don Wilson tell you that I made him chief of a police out there? No kidding. Is that right, Don? Yes, Jack, I'm the law in Van Nuys, and there hasn't been a single crime since I was put in office. Is that so? Were there any other... were there any crimes in Van Nuys before then? I'll say there was an awful wave of jaywalking. There was. How did you stop a chief? Well, I just put signs on every corner. Look for the big red lights to change. Oh, oh. And if they don't wait, I sent them to six delicious days in jail with nothing to eat but bread and jello. Say, that's not bad. How did it work out? The jail's full. We've got standing room only. Well, so much for law, order, and dessert. And now that Mayor Huckleberry Finn is here, our play will go on right after Kenny's song. Oh, wait a minute, Jack. Who's going to be Mr. Dobbins, the school teacher? Well, Don, I tried out several actors to play that part, but none of them seemed to suit me. I don't know. They just couldn't seem to get the feel of it. I mean, they were too... Well, they were too... Too expensive. We know. It wasn't a question of money. They just couldn't do it. Anyway, I will solve the problem by playing a double role, that of Tom Sawyer and Mr. Dobbins, the school teacher. So go into your song, Kenny, while I get into the mood for my double part. Okay. Wait a minute. Come in. Mr. Benny? Yes? Are you going to play two roles tonight? Yes, I am. Well, we ought to get together. Who are you anyway? Just a frank footer. Goodbye. On the stage, by the moon, he's letting in the meadows of the street. By the moon... The picture of the Texan. Say, Kenny, that number was written by Robin and Ranger, the two boys who wrote Love and Bloom and thanks for the memory, wasn't it? Yes, but they told me not to tell you. Oh, okay. Well, I'll play it anyway. And now, folks, for chapter two in the Adventures of Tom Sawyer. As you may remember last Sunday, we finished episode one with Tom Sawyer on his way to school. Now, does he get there? Let us see. Take it, Phil. Come again with us to the sleepy river town of St. Petersburg, Missouri. We take you to the little red schoolhouse on the corner of Maine and Vermont. Ah, folks, that little red schoolhouse with its rusty old pump in the front yard and the lilac bush in the back. It's a bright Monday morning and school is about to begin. Curtain, music. We will start the day with our usual morning greetings. One, two, three. Good morning to you. Good morning to you.

I'm sure you do, Sidney, and you have the highest marks of anyone in the class. That's cause he won't bend over. Quiet, Becky, or you will. Tom Sawyer. Tom Sawyer. Sidney, where's your brother, Tom? He's playing hooky, teacher. That's what he's doing. Sidney is a dad. Sidney is a dad, old tail. Sidney, you stay out of it. Now for our morning exercises. Stand up, kitties.  Oh no, you'll pick our pockets. I will not. Now hands over heads. Now lean back a little further. Back, back, back.  That'll keep you. Now first we will take up our history lesson.

Now Sidney, tell me, what great invention is Eli Whitney noted for? The cotton gin. The cotton gin, that's very good. Even better without the cotton. I think so, yes. Now Becky Thatcher, stand up. Yes, teacher. Who was Captain John Smith? He was an early American settler. Right. And when he was going to be executed, what beautiful Indian girl saved his life? Pakya Cockat. That's Pakya Cockat. But you were close. Now Skinny Baker. Skinny Baker. Yes, teacher. Tell me, who discovered America? Wouldn't you be surprised if I said Columbus? Oh, so you know it. I know more than that, you old goat face. Goat face, you're lucky I'm deaf. Now Becky Thatcher. Yes. Columbus discovered America. Now what are the names of the three ships he sailed with? The Pinter. Yes. The Nina. Yes. And the Albany Nightboat. The Albany Nightboat. Columbus never traveled on the Albany Nightboat. Sure miss something. You said it. And now children, we will take up physiology. Physiology what Stan? I don't know. Let's make it arithmetic. Now children. I don't know my arithmetic. Let's make it spelling. No, I got a good idea. Let's make it geography. Oh, I got a better idea. Let's burn down the school house. Now first we must have our geography. Sylvester Worm. Yes, teacher. Can you tell me, how many countries there are in Europe? Yes, I can, teacher. Well, then name them. There's England, France, Belgium, Salad Prophecy, L'Horses de Missin, There is Salad Corp. A Genesis in the Father Tennessee, Real Jean-Claude Dintedin, Sarpid Volubates, and Czechoslovakia. Very good. And what are the principal industries of Czechoslovakia?

The stinks, the pyramids, the hanging gardens, and poor pork chops. Rochester pork chops are not included among the seven wonders of the world. I guess you ain't never seen a Harlem Geography. I guess not. Now Huckleberry Finn. Huckleberry Finn, stand up. Yes, teacher. Tell me, what is the capital of California? Bama. It is not. Stop plugging your hometown.

Now what is an outstanding characteristic of this peculiar animal? It hangs by its tail and chills the back of it. Correct. Now Becky Thatcher, tell me, what does this odd beast do for exercise? It always walks up three slices of stairs when it buys a suit. I see.  Yes. Bravo, children. And now, kitty, since you've all studied your lessons so carefully, I have a little surprise. Our principal, Mrs. Newton, has an important announcement to make for you. Oh, Mrs. Newton, will you come in, please? I'm right here, Mr. Dobbins. Now, my little men and women, I have a very lovely surprise for you. What is it, Mrs. Newton? Next Sunday, we are all growing on a picnic at the Old Indian Cove. Green and cake and sandwiches for all. Now don't forget, will you? Thank you, Mrs. Newton.  Oh, teacher, teacher, look, here comes my brother Tom. Look, he's trying to sneak in. Oh, I see him. Tom, Tom Sawyer, come here. Tom Sawyer, come here this minute. You played hooky for the last time and I'm going to give you a good thrashing. You got to catch me first, you old grungian. There he goes through the window. And here I go after him. I'll catch me, the little scallywag. Tom Sawyer, Tom Sawyer, Tom. This will be continued next Sunday night. Will Jack catch Jack? Will the class go on their picnic? Will Vivian marry Conrad? Tune in next Sunday night and find out. Play, Phil. Here's a picture for you. Fried yellow saucers heaped up with generous mounds of rich, smooth, delicious vanilla ice cream. Ice cream with that marvelous homemade goodness. And here's the way to make it. Use jello freezing mix and you'll turn out the grandest vanilla ice cream that any family ever cheered for. A smooth, lovely texture, a luscious, rich vanilla flavor. For jello freezing mix, use this real vanilla. No artificial flavoring. And that's why your vanilla ice cream tastes so good. But flavor's only part of the story. Jello freezing mix is amazingly quick and easy to prepare. And all you do is open the can, add milk and some whipped cream, and pour right into your freezing tray. You get six servings from one can of jello freezing mix and what ice cream. Creamy, mellow, and beautifully smooth. When you've tried that rich vanilla, try the other flavors, too. Maple walnut, chocolate, and fruit flavors that are real fruits in their own sweetened juices. Tooty fruity, strawberry, and orange pineapple. Six luscious flavors in all. So for a swell dessert tomorrow night, serve homemade ice cream and make it with jello freezing mix. This is the last number of the 35th program in the new Jello series, and we'll be with you again next Sunday night at the same time. We will bring you the third and final chapter in the adventures of Tom Sawyer. So be sure to listen in and hear the exciting episode in the cave. Yes. What thrills? What echoes? I don't know. What echoes? Oh, good night, folks. Thank you. All right. Make your prayers on the Jello program for courtesy of Mervyn Roy Productions. The tune you couldn't be cuter from the drive living as the competition's drawn turn. This is an ice cream broadcast and covered.

It's not to forget your first time when you take a shield to the beach. It's also the first time you visit your family. It's the first time you visit your friends. It's the first time you make love. It's the first time you get a synagogue together. It's not the first time you go to the beach. It's a really vulnerable time. So you expect to end with your family, with your friends, with your community. But it's not about the first time you go to the beach. It's a very vulnerable time. It's not exciting to see each other in all sorts of new situations. Especially against the waves. The beach is the Australian Cathedral, right? It's a little bit of a church. And women want to be able to come to the beach and not be harassed, right? That was the problem with the canola riots. So women here feel safe. Now, look at these rock formations. This is where the early Christians used to hide from the rugmas. Prior to Constantine accepting Christianity. This is where the early Christians used to hide out. They hide here from the Roman hordes. At the first time you take your water to the beach. You may think she looks good on a date. I remember I met this woman in church when I was 18. She looked really good. She invited me over to her place that evening to watch a movie. I got over to her place. I took her back because she wasn't wearing the same makeup that she wore to church. So I remember I met a woman on a Friday night Jewish event. I invited her to a concert next night. But I only saw her at the Jewish event under very dark lighting.  She weighed over 20 pounds. And the seatbelt in my van wouldn't fit around there. You can take your woman to the beach for the first time. And if it's vulnerable, she may not look good in a bathing suit. Or she may not deal well with the waves. Or she may get in the ocean and her tits fly out right in front of your friends. And it's embarrassing.  As much as possible. One thing I've found at 55 years of age, everybody's more vulnerable. I've made an additional thing. We've all got so many vulnerabilities. Some people that's the beach. Some people that's wearing a bathing suit. You know if you're allowed to fish here. There's a lot of fishing going on. Why are they not Chinese fishing? Good question, man. Good question. So, getting to know someone, man. It exposes your vulnerabilities. It exposes your vulnerabilities. The more you interact with people. You wanted to fit in with your friends. You wanted to fit in with your workmates. You wanted to fit in with your family. You wanted to fit in at the beach, right? How could you have a girlfriend who didn't fit in at the beach? It would suck. But you like the beach. Ozzie's live at the beach. I had an American girlfriend who we spent a weekend away at the beach. I think in Manhattan Beach, man. She was so impressed when I went running into the ocean. Just drive through the waves. She said I looked like a doness. I was 40 years of age then, right? So, I think I learned to swim at about age five or six or seven. Something like that. Not real early. Pretty much all Ozzie's have had a swim. Spend us how much of our spare time out at the beach. So, I remember in the Tom Wolf novel of Bonfire of the Vanities as a district attorney, deputy district attorney. He looks up from the floor at his wife. He just sees how enormous a behind is. And it's a reason to want to get a mistress. So, we all have angles by which we're vulnerable. That could be our emotional intelligence and our cognitive intelligence and our physique, our social skills and like they're of. There's always an angle where we look ridiculous. There's always an angle where we look vulnerable.  There's always an angle where we look wrong. It depends on the perspective you take. So, how do you deal with your anxiety? How do you deal when you feel ill at ease in the world, when your life gets unmanageable? You get into the beach. You take a drink. You watch the telly. Play video games. You pray and meditate. Practice yoga. So, I've been watching these documentary series on the ashes. The England versus Australia cricket rivalry. Back in the 1980s, Aussie cricket team would just get smashed on plane flights. So, various Aussie cricketers would drink 40, 50, 50 beers on the 20-hour flight. They didn't do that so much anymore. Now they're more into prayer and meditation. Yeah. It's gorgeous, isn't it? The Aussie cricketers are so vulnerable. They're just like running bikinis down at the beach. They're so fit and they can afford to be so vulnerable because it's safe. Right? And they don't have their guard up. They're perfectly friendly. They don't bite, mate. They don't bite. Times were different in the 80s. That was like sex, drugs and rock and roll time on the cricket. I think we lost the national series in the 1990s, just thrashed England for a decade. Yeah. Why do some people stay distrable? Most of us, we don't have to stay distrable. Why do some people choose to stay suffering? And we're coming up now on Bondi Beach. This is the world famous Bondi Beach, mate. Bondi Beach. That's what you're looking at, mate. That beautiful or what? Why do some people choose to stay in misery? Yeah, Luke needs a might pillow over that might. So we used to despise spirituality, despise the cause. Only when the suffering got bad enough I can't believe that I'm holding the spiritual alignment. It's so contrary to what you used to think about things. When the suffering gets bad enough I'm willing to change my mind. I mean, to admit I had a problem in certain areas of my life and that my trip has gone so smooth. I think it's because I'm growing up. And so I'm thinking about all the time when my sister was right and I was wrong. And then my big sister, my older sister, the times when my brother was right and I was wrong. Just looking around me seeing people doing things better than I have and it keeps me in reality. Why do some people when they've got a problem say I'm watching TV or eating too much food or drinking too much or drugging too much drinking too much pornography or getting too much or under running? Why don't millions and millions of people get help? Why do people choose to stay and suffer? And it's usually unnecessary. Right? Just recognize you've got a problem. You've got a better way of doing things. Let's see if I can make it down these steps. The early Christians, they used to hide out in caves like these right from the run at the Sampdad when it was growing up. How we believed the world was coming to an end. We'd have to go out and hide for the day of judgment. We used to have dreams where like what if a family member or a close friend like that too would go on the run from the law. And where would I hide them? Oh, that's nice. There's been very classy water. Very high quality. Very low levels of pollution. It's radiated into a fire diversity. Sydney is into a fire diversity doing things in a what, renewable way? What is it? But I've been walking along here for hours. I don't think I've seen any trash. Where's the trash, man? So it's been raining a lot. We've had a cyclone on our floor. We've had extreme tides and really high waves and thunderstorms. Like the thunder the water was coming down. The rain was coming down so hard. Yesterday in Nambaka Heads I couldn't even look ahead. Like it put my eyes the rain was coming down so hard in Nambaka Heads. Which is five and a half hours drive north of Sydney. Okay, we're coming up on Bondi Beach, man. Look at that. Here comes the rain again. It's been so great to do this trip emotionally slower. I can still have my my sponsors lined up, though a lot of them get the day in time rock. We settle on it on the time and the day they get confused because we're about we're about 18 hours ahead here in Sydney taking to California time. A lot of my sponsors are missing their appointments. I'm not very happy about that because I have to, like I'm scheduling to talk to them. And they're not even showing up sometimes multiple days in a row, they're not showing up just all too confusing for them that Sydney's on a different time zone. And they're asking me for the time difference. Like why wouldn't people just use Google? So being Australian that office may be safer ground.  So being emotionally sober means that when other people have a valid criticism of me, oh yeah, I could admit it. I don't have to defend myself. I don't have to spend a lot of energy instructing myself. I'm not invested in getting other people to see me in particular. Obviously I've been sleeping in places not my room. Easily to be flexible when they're emotionally sober. On a one-day beach way. And that beautiful viewways out there. Shoes live within 5 miles of here. Kingham beaches are pure and pure places where you can smoke Australia. I think New Zealand's banning smoking. Bondi has become a national icon for its surf history and cosmopolitan culture. Bondi is derived from local Aboriginal languages. You need tumbling water or water breaking over rocks. I want to acknowledge the original people who lived here. They call marijuana provisions. But I haven't seen any marijuana shops any weed shops. Like no they're a walking odor of cannabis. I haven't come down with that. They do have medical marijuana so they don't know about it. But you don't get that stink like you do all the time in Los Angeles in San Francisco. We get to the spot where I'm going to meet some mates for a walkabout. And then I'll walk about home. It's a nice 6 hour walkabout. Oh yeah, people are telling me that my sister looks so much healthier than I did when I arrived. So I think I probably had Omicron before I came here. I've had a sore throat for like 2 weeks before I came here. I tested negative for COVID on the plane. My first week 10 days in Australia I still had a sore throat. Now it's gone. I remember my first time snorkeling in Clevelli Beach. Like how out of breath I would get really quickly. So I think I'm in much better shape. People are telling me I look much healthier. My big walkabout with my mates. It's bigger feeding. The single psychic or tarot reader inside. The blasting mariage is 3 weeks in the summer. So that's for another couple of weeks. So you didn't have one long summer vacation here. Unlike the U.S. I like to get 3 months off so it used to be so that people could work the bomb. But here nice people get about a month off for Christmas. And then school kids get about 6 weeks off. It's about the longest vacation of the year. So the kids train to become lifeguards. Nippers. It's like training for kids. So at Cootie Beach they'd have like one main musician. For a band. Routini ranks in like top 10 most liveable cities in the world. Low Cry and Low Disfunction. Beautiful Sydney Harbour. Great public amenities. Young and old come to the beach. Old Sushilas. They're abandoned children in dojos. They have some pretty beautiful waves mate. Surf's up mate. Here I go.


If you know in your spirit that you're called to ministry, this message is for you. I want to use the scripture to help lay a foundation that will help to keep you focused and pure in your calling. I want to give you three keys to beginning in ministry the right way. But before we get into those keys, if it's your prayer that God would keep you pure in your calling, then write these three simple words in the comment section, keep me pure. Now, here are the three keys to beginning in ministry the right way. Number one, let ministry be an overflow of your relationship with the Lord. If that's not the case, if ministry is not an overflow of an actual connection with God, then it's not ministry, it's a business. It's not a calling, it's a career.  It's the anointing that makes the difference. And the anointing is found in encounters with God. All true ministry is an overflow of your love for Jesus. Here's what the Bible says in John chapter 15. I'll read verses five to eight. Yes, I am the vine. You are the branches. Those who remain in me and I in them will produce much fruit. For apart from me, you can do nothing. Anyone who does not remain in me is thrown away like a useless branch and withers. Such branches are gathered into a pile to be burned. But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want. And it will be granted. When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father. Without Christ, we can do nothing. You must, at the very beginning, make a decision, make a commitment to guarding your devotion, guard your prayer life, guard your holiness, guard your devotion to the Word of God and knowing the Word of God and don't sacrifice that for anything. Ministry can be mentally, emotionally and physically draining. I know it may not seem like it because ministry usually begins very simple. You share what the Lord has been sharing with you. But as God begins to raise you, the demand on your life begins to increase. And as the demand on your life begins to increase, so does the temptation to sacrifice time with the Lord for doing things for the Lord. Resist that temptation. That's why right now, right at this stage, right when you're beginning, you have to make that commitment. And if you've fallen off track, okay, the Lord is gracious and he's patient. Recommit to it. But make that commitment in your mind, in your heart and say within yourself, I'm going to do this the right way. I'm not just going to allow this to become a business. I'm not just going to allow this to become a career. I want this to remain a pure and holy calling. I want to keep my heart right while I continue to do ministry.  You're going to have to protect that devotion to the word. Do not sacrifice that for anything. He is the vine, we are the branches. Apart from him, we can't do anything. The moment you disconnect from him, that well begins to run dry. The moment you disconnect from him, you begin to do things in your own strength by your own power, according to your own thoughts and will, rather than according to his. This is why it's so important that we allow ministry to be an overflow of our relationship with the Lord. This will protect your holiness. This will protect your motives. This will protect your future. Make that commitment now that ministry will only be an overflow of what I actually have with the Lord. Number two, and this one, well, they're all important, but this one, I especially want you to pay attention to because so few people do this. Number two, set up accountability at an early stage. Colossians 3.16 says this, Let the message about Christ and all its richness fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts. Here, the scripture tells us to teach and counsel each other. As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend. You must allow for there to be people around you who can tell you when you're wrong. Look, as you continue in ministry, you're going to find that you will pick up more and more critics, the more fruitfulness that you see. Criticism is a part of ministry, but not all criticism is bad. Not all criticism is unhealthy.  They're being corrected by someone who loves them like a brother or a sister.  Look, I understand that we can't pay attention to everyone's criticisms. If we did that, we would lose our minds and we'd never have any real focus or impact in ministry.  Perhaps they were there from the beginning, and God puts these key people in our lives to help to keep us on track. You need other people. There are no lone rangers in the kingdom of God. There are no superstar Christians in the kingdom of God. It doesn't matter how popular you get, how effective you get, how fruitful you get, you're going to need other people who can get in your face and tell you when you're getting off track. In fact, you have to set up accountability now to protect you from falls in the future. Here are the three common areas that people fall in when they're in ministry. That's sexual sin, financial trouble. In other words, they start stealing money from the ministry or they misuse the funds of the ministry for personal use and so forth. And number three is power. So sex, money and power. Those are the three primary areas in which people compromise. And so what you have to do is be intentional. At the very beginning, make sure you have people around you who can be set in place to help watch you and keep you accountable. Should you begin to compromise in any one of these areas? Set up accountability. So for example, when my ministry team and I travel, we have an accountability system. This may sound silly to other people.  Why are you treating people like children? But we don't leave any room for compromise. What we do is we go out two by two. When we travel, it's always two by two so that no one's ever traveling alone. This does two things. Not only does it protect us from temptation, but it also protects us from accusation because these days it's not just good enough to be protected from temptation. You have to also be protected from accusation. And if you have someone who's with you all the time, they can attest to your whereabouts. They can attest to your purity when others are trying to bring accusations against you. So that's just an example. In the sexual area, we travel two by two so that nobody can make accusations and that no one is left in temptation by themselves. And that's, again, just one area. That's just the travel aspect. But I'm just giving you an example of how this would apply. Also, there's the finance and then there's the power temptation. We as a ministry have set up a board of directors to help watch this and keep us from compromising in those areas. Those, again, are just some examples of how you can implement accountability. Here's what the Bible says in James 5, verse 16. Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results. Confession is a component of accountability. You see, a lot of people misunderstand the role of confession. We confess to God to be forgiven. That's 1 John 1-9. But we confess to each other to be healed, to be held accountable, to prevent compromise in that area in the future and also to be reconciled to one another. For example, when you sin against another person and you confess that to them, it helps to bring reconciliation between you and them. But the purpose of confession is not just forgiveness. Yes, again, confession to God. That's for forgiveness, but confession to each other. That's for healing. That's for accountability. That's for prevention. That's for reconciliation with each other. And you need those systems in place, but you're not going to have those systems in place, those biblical systems in place if you're not intentional about it. What's going to happen when God starts bringing fruitfulness and there's some financial freedom? Maybe there's a little bit of popularity that comes with it. Those are dangerous combinations, financial freedom and popularity.  You need people like that. If all you have around you are people who see you as just the great man or woman of God who can never be questioned, you're in danger. I thank God for the people in my life who can tell me when I'm getting off track. Even if it's just a subtle compromise, they'll catch it, they'll call me on it and they'll help to cover my blind spots. You need that, especially if you want to have longevity, especially if you want to be protected from temptation and accusation. Again, that's number two, set up accountability at an early stage and finally number three, practice good stewardship. What is stewardship? Stewardship is simply taking care of something that belongs to someone else. Here's what the Bible says in Colossians 3.23. Work willingly at whatever you do as though you are working for the Lord rather than for people. If you are to practice good stewardship, you must realize that the ministry belongs to God. It is not your ministry. It is not my ministry. The ministry belongs to God and you're taking care of it for Him. You cannot practice good stewardship until you recognize that. It's not your business. It's not your piggy bank. It's not your project. It's not your key to favor and open doors. The ministry belongs to God and the purpose of the ministry is to touch the lives of those who need God's help. That's it. And if you lose sight of that, if you begin to see the ministry as something that exists for your benefit, if you begin to see the ministry as something that belongs to you, you will begin to lack in stewardship and you'll begin to compromise on things like structure and excellence. But when you recognize this belongs to God, I'm going to give an account to Him for His ministry. Once you recognize that, well, that changes everything. Now suddenly you're wanting to maximize the ministry, not for your benefit, but you're wanting to maximize the efficiency of the ministry for the sake of fulfilling its purpose, which is to win souls, build believers, and expand the kingdom of God. Not only that, it inspires excellence. How should we treat that which represents God? How should we treat that which presents the gospel message? How should we treat that which demonstrates the power of the Holy Spirit? It's heavenly and therefore it should have heavenly culture. Everything should be done with excellence. Now, excellence is not having the best of everything. It's simply doing the best with everything that you have. But that structure, that implementation of excellence, that's not going to come until you recognize that it belongs to God, that you're going to give an account to God for that ministry. That's why we must understand the proper perspective. It's not yours, it belongs to God. So let's go over these three keys. Number one, let ministry be an overflow of your relationship with the Lord. Number two, set up accountability at an early stage. That's so important. And number three, practice good stewardship, recognize that it does not belong to you. Now I want to pray for you. Let's pray that God would give you longevity by helping you to stay focused and pure in your calling. Come on, let's believe right now. Father, in the name of Jesus, I pray, Lord, that you would cause these truths from your word to take deep root in the hearts of your people. And Lord, let those roots produce fruit that is of the spirit. Lord, we thank you that you protect us from temptation. So help us not to put ourselves there. Father, we thank you for the privilege of running your ministry for handling your kingdom work. And I pray today, Lord, that you would anoint your people in a fresh way and help them, Lord, to stay focused and pure. Thank you, Lord, that you're giving us wisdom for the beginning and the establishment of ministries. We honor and we bless you. And I want you to say it because you believe it. Say amen.

It's been a busy three years. Well, I know, and I... I'm honored that you... that I think you'd like to have those close matched. I know the great contribution you make, and I know there are fifty nations involved in the organization, and your slogan I think is appropriate to this modern day and age too about physics and world of technology. I'll thank you, Mr. Ramsey. Being in Washington, they've almost all come to the meeting. You have a record number of attendees and voters. Well, out of a possible 105, the first time I've visited, 4,100 are here and voting. My goodness. Well, that is something. It shows we have a lot of people in this town, Mr. President. And so does the union. Did you hear that our favorite state had earthquake this afternoon? Yes. Well, it's overdue.  And so you keep thinking, it's been a long time. So far, the reports of damage are too bad. Very small number of deaths. I am being optimistic on account of our ranch up there at Santa Barbara. In the Santinez Mountains. And there's one thing I do know. Being up on the rocks, you don't feel the quake as you do down around below. It's flat sort of mud. It's like jelly. We used to live in the, our home was in the Santa Monica mountains that runs right down through Los Angeles. And I can't tell you how many times we'd have to read in the papers, see on television there's been an earthquake in Los Angeles. There are a few down the way. Well, Mr. President, we do appreciate your taking the time to speak with us today. We really appreciate your support. Well, I most appreciate all that you're doing. That's gracious and generous of you, and by the way, readings from Canada. Well, and I appreciate that because I think we have a lot in common. Thank you very much, Mr. President.

And maybe a son on either side. How does that work? I think you'd like to have me squeeze in a little bit. Well, I know all that you've done with our getting aid to the conquerors, and I'm very pleased and happy with that. Guatemala is a very important part now. Diplomacy and all that goes on down there, so I think you're in a very important post. I'll do my best. We'll do our best. I know you will. Wait one second. So you won't forget us. Okay. Thank you. And tie bars. Thank you very much. Mr. President, looking forward to it. Thank you very much. Thank you for taking me with you. Thank you for doing it. Taking the post. I'd like that. It's interesting. Keep me a little busy. The master rock worker. Yes. And then Mrs. Rock. Mr. President. It's wonderful to be here with you. Why don't you get between us here? All right. Thank you. Well, I hope we can settle down a little bit in Fiji there with what's going on, but it's going to be a shame if you have to spend another winter in Buffalo. Buffalo. He likes it. I don't. Well, we're half a century in California. I like the heat. Yes, we love Buffalo. So does Nancy. Nancy can get cold in July. Look at she. Look at she. I'm so happy we have Fiji. I thought maybe, you know, we would get another place and I don't like that. Of course it was peaceful until I was designated.  Mr. President, take a moment. I have an old football injury, you know. Getting my knee x-rayed. And there was the technician and I were in the room getting my knee x-rayed and they called me in my office. The president was calling. I said, talk, I'm going to get my trousers down. I've got to get my trousers up to call the president back. You've got to get his pants back. Ah, what position were you playing when you got that injury? Left half back. I was right guard myself. Oh, you had the glamour post? No. Just so you won't forget us.  I'm there. Thank you. Bless you for giving me the opportunity to serve my country, sir. Well, listen, I thank you for doing it. Thank you, sir. Thank you very much. Mr. President, may I please present Ambassador Nemechek. Mr. President, good to see you. I have a chance to say all that you've been doing and also now for what you're doing. Thank you so much. Our schedules last year did not permit me to thank you personally for entrusting this job and position, which is difficult but very rewarding and challenging to me. And I want you to know that I'm out in Prague to implement your policies to the best of my ability. Well, let's turn and give him a... Well, I know you will. Thank you. Would you like to have something to go with this? Fine. All right, sir. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. Take care of yourself. Pleasure to meet you. Nice to see you. This is my brother-in-law My step-nephew Jason First Announcing. This is my step-nice, Nishila. My sister-in-law, Dasim. And my brother Brian. I think we'd all have to line up and get it here someplace. That's great. Well, I know I'm saying goodbye to you in one sense but you just go across the street. I have some souvenirs here, to see you all. Thank you. And there's some South Carolina that I had to say hello, and good luck to you. Well, give them my regards if you have any. I shall when I return. All right. Thank you, sir. It's been a great honor serving you here, and I look forward to continuing working in your administration over at Treasure. Well, I appreciate all that you've done. Thank you. As I say, wish you well. OK, great. Thank you for having us in today. Appreciate it. Thanks a lot. And I please present Ambassador Summer. Yes, sir. Hi. Nice to see you, sir. Thank you, Mr. President. See you. See you. This is my son, Sasha. Hi. How are you? I'm Barbara Well. I'm well. You're my father. This is my daughter for one of your friends, Tom Jones. Well, from heaven's eye, it's me and you. Anyway, it's a privilege for us to come in and see the Oval Office and bring my children in here. And fortunately, I'm coming here to turn around and get a group picture. OK. You want me to move on the side, sir? I think maybe up there. There. There we go. Thank you. Well, listen, I thank you for everything and all that you've done. You've been here now doing this. I want to interview you. Yes, sir. Well, I've got to have some souvenir before you go. Thank you very much. The charm is for you. Thank you very much. See you later. And that's a tie-bar. Thank you very much. And so you do wear them.  Remember, he was martial with the football parade. You were the governor. And we sat next to you. And here on the floor, I see it. Yes. My God, that seems like the end of the story. That's a many years ago, yes. Thank you very much, Mr. President. Well, it's a great memory to keep working for it. Well, I'm privileged to have you. Thank you for saying it, sir. Good to see you. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks a lot, Tim. OK. You're welcome. Hang on. Hi. I love you, Mr. President. Good to see you again. Good to see you. Thank you. That's how you do it. Nice to see you. Well, we'd better turn around and get a family picture here. Thanks, Pete. Who's going to give me my steel shots? Well, I'm going to have a little bit more silver there that will do just as good a job. All right. Where are you going? I'm in graduate school right now, so I'm still in the area. Well, if you need a shot, why don't you come over? That's right. All right. Thank you for everything you've done. Well, thank you. I enjoyed every minute of it. Just one second here. A souvenir for you. Well, thank you very much. Oh, thank you so much. Thank you, sir. You're welcome. Yeah. Thank you very much. Oh, good luck. Thank you. She's a very kind woman. She's a very kind woman. Thank you very much. Thank you. You have too much of your time. You have other people waiting for pictures. I know. It was a busy day today. Yes. Well, it's wonderful. That's what's important. All right, gentlemen. Mr. President, Dwayne Hagna has a very special group of marines for you to meet today. Mr. President, I'd like you to first meet Court McCartney, who's been a sentry, West Wing sentry for a year, and a picture here. Thank you, sir. Since you're leaving with a little souvenir, sometimes you must wear a tank tie. Yes, sir. Thank you very much. Appreciate that. Where are we going? Back to Marine Barracks, sir. Down at 8th Street. Well, that's not going too far. No, sir. Mr. President, we also have the rest of the sentries, Sun Guard, Corporal Lighting. Okay. That's right. Good group chat, sir. Thank you very much. Thank you, Mr. President. Great. How are you, Mr. President? How are you? My wife Peggy. And my little guy Al. Four months old. Look at the camera. What am I looking at? It's been a pleasure working for you. Look, one child, look right here. Look out. Thank you, sir. Thank you for everything. Thank you so much. It's been a pleasure working for you. I appreciate what you've done in just a minute. Thank you so much. Thank you very much. Four months, he's not going to use this yet. Someday he may like to have a bouquet. Look at that. Fantastic. Thank you very much. Take care. Thank you. That's decided yet, and I'm working my head off to make sure that we don't lose. The numbers are against you, sir, don't you think? I don't think we have an accurate count yet because of the large number that claim to be undecided. It is. I'm going to try to interrupt it, but I haven't seen signs of that as yet. Frankly, I think it has been a disgraceful situation. What? Because I think that the process of confirming the Supreme Court justice has been reduced to a political, partisan struggle. The President of the United States used donations on the floor of the Senate today. This decision was based on, but I think that four former attorneys general, the former chief justice of the United States Supreme Court, and their wholehearted endorsements of the qualifications of Robert Bort are something that should be heated. Plus the fact that that every national law enforcement group, such as the whole national society of police chiefs and things of this kind, have all endorsed Robert Bort. What would you consider withdrawing him, sir? Would you consider withdrawing them all? If there's anything withdrawing, no. As I said, I'm spending my time working as hard as I can to see that he gets confirmed as he deserves to be. Thank you. I don't seem to feel that way, and I haven't noticed him shedding any tears. Is this a referendum on your clout? Has this become a referendum on your clout, sir? I told you that I think that what is going on is strictly partisan. Shouldn't you let Bort be Bort instead of trying to paint him like some moderate? Shouldn't he have been presented as this strictly conservative, strict constructionist that you nominated? I haven't painted him in any light.  You're gratifying, sir. I seem to try to present him as if he were a moderate. Why not mobilize conservative support behind him? No. We were simply trying to respond to the charges, the raucous charges from some that he was some kind of a radical. Yes. You wouldn't want me to answer that now. How's it going? Naturally, I'm going to try to change his mind. They're holding a press conference. General about wet tech, sir. Did you talk? Just waiting for the decision. Did you consider withdrawing it today? Did you discuss it? Are you confiding a list of people in case he doesn't make it that you would nominate in his stead?


Hey everyone, what's going on? I am Greg Sesame, joined today by Tom Vecchio, a fan of who's here to break down the top players on tonight's NBA DFS slate. What's going on, Tom? I'm doing good. Five games on the slate, you know, not a whole lot of options at each price range, so we'll hit on a few at each. We'll begin at the point guard position and kind of where we began two days ago. And it's Kyrie Irving's price at $10,000 for the Brooklyn Nets. Tonight, no Kevin Durant, which means you got to get Kyrie in there. It's pretty simple. Yeah, this is kind of what we saw the other night. You know, he finished with 50.7 fan dual points against the Jazz in only 29 minutes. And I want to say, like we didn't see the actual ceiling potential for Kyrie because he didn't play a single minute in the fourth quarter. The Nets won that game by 30, 35 points, whatever it was. So we didn't see him out there for the full time. You know, the 31.9% usage rate, the 1.67 of fan dual points per minute we're getting when Durant is off the court is what we want to be banking on. So tonight against the 76ers, we see the Nets as a two-point home underdog. So if we see Kyrie out there for 36, 38 minutes, what he could or should be out there for in a normal game, 60, 65 fan dual points is firmly on the table tonight. The upside is six times he's valued here $10,000. If he's up over 35 minutes, Kyrie Irving is going to give you major, major dividend. That's what we expect tonight. Irving at $10,000 needs to be locked into your lineups. Michael Porter battled some COVID related issues, but he's back for Denver Nuggets. He's priced at $6,700 tonight. Is it because he thinks his first game back that he's a little bit underpriced here, Tom? No, I like to think that he could break his salary-based expectations tonight. $6,700, like you said, I think is where he should be priced around. You know, he was off to a pretty strong start. Granted, it was only two games for the Nuggets. He's carrying the 22.1% usage rate, posting 1.27 fan dual points per minute. You know, really looking solid for the Nuggets, needing to be that third star for them behind Yokic and Marie. Love the spot for him tonight, going up against the Mavericks. 2.5 points spread, 224 point over under. Right now the Mavericks are middle of the league. When it comes to defense, they're looking okay to start the year. They're around 42 fan dual points per game to opposing small forwards. That's 19th in the league. So given his price tag, I think is pretty modest. Giving the whole game environment, two points spread, high over under.  All right, so the price is right here for Michael Porter Jr. Here against the Dallas Mavericks, Tuesday's defense, kind of spotty. Should be a high scoring fair should be a fun game between the Nuggets and the Mavs. Michael Porter Jr. $6,700 here this evening. Finally, you saw it two days ago. Juan Hernán Gomez went off for the Minnesota Timberwolves without Coral Anthony Towns in the lineup. Now let's really take a step back. And it was Hernán Gomez that really stepped up for Minnesota. Tonight, he's barely priced over $4,000. 4,200, which means he should be locked and loaded in there. Absolutely, you know, a couple of weeks ago I spoke about Reed and he was the play. He was seeing the minutes and now Hernán Gomez seeing 25 and 34 minutes in these past two games. Now the production is kind of all over the place in those two games as low as 15. Up at 46, what we saw in the most recent game but this matchup against Portland is something that we absolutely want to be attacking. Right now Minnesota is sitting at 10th in pace. Portland is sitting up at 7th, a 233 point over under. So we're gonna lock in those hopefully 28 to 34 minutes for a player who's $4,200 who has apparently a 40 point ceiling in a super high over under game with plenty of pace. I'll take Hernán Gomez tonight. Fast-paced, high-scoring affair. Hernán Gomez has shown that he could score the basketball and he also showed that he could put up quite a bit of Fandall points, only $4,200 tonight. As I said, he must play a lock and load for me over on Fandall. That's it for us here on the Fandall Hurry Up. Time, we appreciate the time. Good luck tonight. Yep, talk to you next week.
