So he does he says, okay sure I would love to have you On my cart with me and so they're bumping along bump and then they get to a field full of ripe, cabbages.

And so the man says I am going to go get some cabbages hahaha

And so the man runs out, he starts peeking cabbages.

And thought he says he hears, the man comes running back.

He says there's nobody here.

God Is Watching.

God is always watching and so sorry.

I hope I haven't just put the fear into you, but I can see that this is such a blessing when it does change you from the inside and say, you know, I know the selfish thing is a part of me, but boy, I do want to learn how to love you Lord.

And I want to learn how to love others and we need to face that fact.

And how can I know that my loving father in Heaven came as a loving Rabbi teaching history.

To come and to help me learn to walk in his ways.

Your precious stop doing stuff.

Walking my ways you will be much happier.

The fear of the Lord is a source of great.

Wonderful.

Intex families, loving relationships, obedient children's.

You know, when it says evil and all that raising children will be so hard.

I think it's because of the sinfulness in children that is going to be so hard, you know?

Just as God, Is grieved the same word for grieved that his people that same word is about Adam and Eve, they will suffer the same grief in their toils in the grief and raising children, it's because of sin goddess.

Aine

Walk in my ways.

And we can live better than that.

Wow.

So that's my point.

How many of you have been a part of a reading through the Torah kind of a program?

Okay.

Many of, you know, it sounds crazy but you'd like me a few years ago.

20 years ago I think before I went to Rob seminar where he said he could read through the what crazy idea is this and?

And and so I said, okay well we'll try it, you know, that Jewish people have been reading through the Torah, they have weekly readings for the past fifteen hundred years, the whole Community reads through the Torah week by week.

It's so much a part of their fabric of their cultures that you can get a bank account.

Under totally secular.

Bank is really Bank calendar and it will have little names on their receipt luck with the era level by those are the names.

Usually, the first words of the Torah readings of the week and it's like how you remember time is by what reading we have in That's how they think is, it's part of our time system, practically.

It's showing green and I said, okay, I will try this.

I will read through the Torah with my friends and I will follow the readings along with them.

And so I and I said it was kind of like going with the Israelites on a hike in the desert for 40 years.

It's honestly it is about Leviticus where it starts wearing thin and where you get your house, all clean up cuz your friends are all going to come over in the computer.

We forget to come that weekend.

You're the one that got already and nobody came.

I don't have a resentfulness or anything about that at all.

But it's honestly the first time through, you know, actually did a while you start Savory.

Can you start understanding enough for the starts meeting together is like, wow, this is a great wound, it changes.

But the first time through, it can be kind of a long tough journey and it's like you're eating Manna with the Israelites until you're sick of it, sick of it.

And you get to hear all these in the whining and the Rebellion, rebellion.

And then you're finally, you get to Deuteronomy?

I call Godley.

Well, thank goodness.

We're finally Deuteronomy, you know, it's a good summary and then you get these great blessings and Deuteronomy that go for a half a chapter

The curses and the first year, I read this, it was a hot supper.

It was, you know, some of yours, the calendar finishes in mid-september.

And then sometimes it's October.

It's always an early September that I'm reading the curses is hot every morning.

It would be hot to then I would be reading these in like these poor Israelites got to go to Smite them.

And this is what it sounded like to me planes and droughts and white and mildew and boils and stores and blindness and Madness, like, oh, you're killing me.

I can't stand it.

It's so horrible.

I can hardly stand to read my Bible anymore, you know.

Honestly, I was so horrified.

I had a little zipper Bible, my Bible app for a good couple weeks.

I can't read this anymore.

It's killed me.

I'm dead.

I can't stand anymore.

I'm so and partly cuz you know they actually is going to happen.

Babylonians, it just breaks my heart.

I was so horrified.

I was just like, I don't know if I want to like this good anymore.

He's so awful.

and then a couple weeks later than the biggest curse of all, Is the undoing of the Covenant.

This Covenant, to give them a lovely wonderful land where they can Worship the Lord gets out early, I'm done and that's called going into Exile.

They're going to go into Exile and Worship gods of stone as slaves to them.

I mean, that's the most awful.

I have to tell you one.

Most interesting use of the coat imagery.

My friend Millie from Uganda who I keep credible insights.

She was telling me about her childhood in Northern Uganda.

during the time of Idi Amin, when the insurgents came to her Village to Bruno the houses down, and she watched them for her house down.

And what with her family into the bush.

For a couple of years starving, starving people were starving.

And she said, I said, what did you do to survive?

And she said, well, we built those little, you know, like the Israelites, the booze they talk about, that's what we built.

So she has a very visceral understand what a booth is, and that's the bear sustenance that keeps you.

Barely that keeps the her son from beating you on the head, man.
