Speaker 2:     00:17         [inaudible]. Everybody. Welcome back to the new year. Welcome back to black radio. And this is gonna be somewhat of a ramp. So, um, this actually comes from a Greek proverb and it also is found in the new testament and as I was doing some study recently, and this is one of those things where I'm kind of amazed at what happens in business and the frustration that happens when people don't get their way. Um, so without disclosing names or anything else, I just want to kind of talk through the concept and the principle that takes place when there are so many people I run across these days who get frustrated.

Luke records the event says, and when we were all falling to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me and saying, in the Hebrew tongue, saul, saul, why persecute us down me? It is hard for the
