  1. #NowWatching (or about to) #TheChosen S2E3, "Matthew 4:24."

    This... is one of my least favorite episodes. It is a very GOOD episode. In some ways, it's also a favorite episode. It's just... there are so many good things in it, and some really painful things in it. I'm just not a huge fan of conflict and people treating each other badly. BUT there are a lot of enjoyable aspects of it, so here we go...

    Matthew: But where would be a good place to start?

    Phillip: For you?

    - Yes, for me.
    The Law of Moses?
    The prophecies of Isaiah?
    The wisdom of Solomon?

    - Mm.
    For you, I think, the Psalms of David. A good start.

    - I'm ready.

    - For example,
    "To the choirmaster,
    a psalm of David.
    "If I ascend to heaven,
    you are there.
    If I make my bed in the depths,
    you are there."

    - And...?

    - Just that.

    - But I'm not planning on ascending to heaven or making my bed deep in the depths.

    - You asked for a passage.

    - Yes, but one that could help me understand how you and everyone else knows more.

    - That's what I know, and what you must come to believe if you want to make any meaningful study of Torah.

    ...

    (Ok, forget what I said. I **love* this episode 😅)*

    Big James: I mean, it's great what He's doing, obviously, but I wish it would have happened tomorrow.

    Thomas: What is happening? What are we part of?

    - Is it wrong to say I have no idea?

    - No, it makes me feel better.

    Ramah: I think that I haven't had time to think about it.
    All this time my parents, I just know, hate it.
    Other than that, I figured Thomas and I would get our answers from the rest of you.

    Andrew: Sometimes, I feel like...
    like I'm living someone else's life.
    Like... when I look at myself from the outside...
    it doesn't always feel like me.
    It feels like someone who's... trying to live up to the heroes of our history,

    like, I have to do something great, but I know I'm not great.
    Know it even more now, being with Him.
