The Burden of a Bloated Mind

Good morning. Dwayne here, Dry Creek Wrangler School. Um, making a video today. Had something I wanted to talk about. We're doing it inside. It's a warm, sunny day out, but man, that wind is just vicious. I tried on the porch a minute ago, and that just wasn't going to work. So, we came in here um years ago, several years ago, maybe 15 or 20 years ago, and it took place over a long period of time. Now, this is going to sound silly, but hear me out. I took really, really long showers. Um like 20, 30 minutes, long hot showers. And and I did that for a long time. And my wife would gently rib me about it, you know, my long showers. And I showered every day. Um, and by the way, this video is not about taking a shower, okay? Um, and and it got so I I was pretty addicted. You you could say that I was pretty addicted to my long long showers. And I also realized at one point that I did my best thinking in the shower if there was something that was coming through and I just couldn't get the um couldn't get the uh a handle on it. I couldn't figure it out things and while I was in the shower a lot of times that quarter would drop. It'd be like ding. Oh, there's what I need to do. There's the answer. And and I myself back then was like, why am I so addicted to these showers? And why do I do my best thinking in the shower? Now, I was working like a dog back then. Uh hard physical labor, working long, long days. Um I was also in the ministry, so there were several days a week. There was a lot. I was busy outside of work uh with the church and the ministry. Uh I had a wonderful wife and seven children in the house. It was a 14-500T house.
