I am not having
a good day today.
00:00:01.98\00:00:03.35
I feel sad and I
just really feel blue.
00:00:03.38\00:00:06.03
Well, if that's your problem
00:00:06.26\00:00:08.01
then today's program
is just for you entitled
00:00:08.23\00:00:10.29
"Beating the Blues "So stay by.
00:00:10.48\00:00:13.01
Hi, welcome to Abundant Living.
00:00:41.07\00:00:42.44
This is Curtis Eakins.
00:00:42.64\00:00:44.01
I'm glad that you're with
us today in our living room,
00:00:44.04\00:00:45.59
I'd like to
introduce my beautiful bride,
00:00:45.82\00:00:47.90
wonderful Paula Eakins.
00:00:48.13\00:00:50.30
You doing pretty good today?
00:00:51.31\00:00:52.89
Wonderful Paula Eakins, I
am doing absolutely wonderful.
00:00:53.72\00:00:55.48
And you are
looking mighty good too.
00:00:55.70\00:00:57.08
I am doing wonderful.
I was doing wonderful.
00:00:57.28\00:00:59.75
No wait, you have a
tissue in your hand honey now.
00:00:59.97\00:01:02.07
And do you know put that tease.
00:01:02.28\00:01:03.65
Was that because
of what I just said.
00:01:03.68\00:01:05.05
That tease you
almost had me going with it,
00:01:05.08\00:01:06.45
I am so glad that Mitch
bought the tissues over here
00:01:06.48\00:01:08.55
because you know, you need
to just get it together here
00:01:08.75\00:01:10.67
'cause I know
the show was about,
00:01:10.87\00:01:13.09
beating the blues
and we certainly need
00:01:13.29\00:01:14.66
to beat the blues on this show.
00:01:14.69\00:01:16.06
Well, I don't think
people know who Mitch is
00:01:16.09\00:01:17.46
but I think that's
the crew here, but anyway,
00:01:17.49\00:01:18.86
so beating the blues and
we need to beat the blues
00:01:18.92\00:01:21.54
now again this is part of
our mental wellness series.
00:01:21.75\00:01:25.21
We talk about depression,
00:01:25.45\00:01:26.82
and we talk about
seasonal affective disorder.
00:01:26.85\00:01:28.70
Beating the blues is different
00:01:28.94\00:01:30.97
from clinical depression.
00:01:31.17\00:01:32.58
It's a less severe
case of that but again
00:01:32.80\00:01:35.95
people are not
feeling a 100 percent.
00:01:36.14\00:01:37.68
They feel down, they feel sad,
00:01:37.91\00:01:39.93
they feel like
you know they're blue,
00:01:40.14\00:01:42.73
so I don't know
where that word comes from,
00:01:42.94\00:01:45.73
there's other
colors other than blue.
00:01:45.95\00:01:47.51
That's true, that's true.
00:01:47.72\00:01:49.09
Yeah, but beating the
blues, so we're gonna give
00:01:49.12\00:01:50.49
you some strategies
of beating the blues
00:01:50.52\00:01:53.61
and if you have
your Bibles with you,
00:01:53.82\00:01:55.96
you wanna get your
Bibles at hand as well
00:01:56.16\00:01:58.04
because we're
gonna look at God's word
00:01:58.23\00:01:59.86
the standard of
truth in beating the blues,
00:02:00.07\00:02:02.12
so that's what we're gonna do
00:02:02.33\00:02:03.93
for the next 15
to 20 minutes and so.
00:02:04.13\00:02:06.27
Well, you know,
you've done like you say
00:02:06.49\00:02:07.86
before the drugs,
talking about drug alternatives
00:02:08.01\00:02:09.72
and we talked
about what was going on
00:02:09.93\00:02:11.75
as far as maybe
physiology is concerned,
00:02:11.96\00:02:14.27
that's right, and now
let's go on the other side
00:02:14.48\00:02:16.89
of this and look at
things like exercise,
00:02:17.09\00:02:19.15
now the
question is, can exercise
00:02:19.36\00:02:21.58
really help you beat the blues?
00:02:22.37\00:02:24.23
Absolutely, yes it
does. Next question.
00:02:24.45\00:02:26.54
Next question.
How much exercise?
00:02:27.45\00:02:29.99
Oh! You want me
to expand on that?
00:02:30.22\00:02:31.79
How long should I exercise?
00:02:32.01\00:02:33.54
Oh! Okay, well,
let me expound on that.
00:02:33.74\00:02:35.11
Okay, exercise does help us.
00:02:35.14\00:02:36.51
What type of exercise?
00:02:36.54\00:02:37.91
Okay, you got that neck
going a little bit okay.
00:02:37.94\00:02:40.55
Exercise does help
us to beat the blues.
00:02:40.74\00:02:42.99
Now again for the last
few weeks we talked about
00:02:43.21\00:02:45.37
Serotonin and not that
we're focusing just on that,
00:02:45.59\00:02:49.24
but there's other thing
too Dopamine and Epinephrine
00:02:49.46\00:02:52.52
and other things
as well but serotonin
00:02:52.72\00:02:54.11
we wanna keep it plain
and simple but when we engage
00:02:54.30\00:02:57.59
in exercise that in itself
increases serotonin levels.
00:02:57.80\00:03:03.99
So therefore, that's a
very powerful mood enhancer
00:03:05.77\00:03:09.44
getting out there in
open doors and of course
00:03:09.66\00:03:14.06
we just talked about sunlight
00:03:14.25\00:03:15.62
how that's very
healing to the eyes as well.
00:03:15.65\00:03:17.49
So sunlight and
exercise both help to increase
00:03:17.70\00:03:22.15
serotonin levels,
so increase our mood
00:03:22.35\00:03:25.36
thereby it helps
us to beat the blues.
00:03:25.57\00:03:29.70
Now, what we do from
a personal standpoint,
00:03:29.92\00:03:32.91
we while we're at
home, we also exercise,
00:03:33.11\00:03:36.89
we do a walking
program in our neighborhood.
00:03:37.09\00:03:39.33
And let's talk about
that for a little bit,
00:03:39.53\00:03:41.08
honey, about
our walking program.
00:03:41.28\00:03:42.65
Well you know at first
we used to get in a car
00:03:42.76\00:03:44.55
and we used to travel to
get to a place to do a walk.
00:03:44.75\00:03:47.75
When gas was, in
Huntsville, lower, yeah,
00:03:47.94\00:03:50.17
and that's when,
yeah, and then once things
00:03:50.41\00:03:51.80
started changing we
said, you know what it is best
00:03:51.98\00:03:53.55
to stay in our
neighbor and our neighbor
00:03:53.74\00:03:55.11
is absolutely
beautiful as you can see
00:03:55.20\00:03:57.60
and so we get out and
we walk in our neighborhood
00:03:57.81\00:04:00.77
and not only that
we got a chance to meet
00:04:00.96\00:04:02.72
our neighbors and
that's a real good thing.
00:04:02.92\00:04:04.72
I think the thing
that's so amazing is that
00:04:04.92\00:04:07.14
there are a lot of
people in the neighborhood,
00:04:07.33\00:04:09.49
that are very, very
friendly we get a chance
00:04:09.71\00:04:11.87
to meet them and talk
with them and it is something
00:04:12.05\00:04:15.25
about in the morning
when that sun starts up,
00:04:15.46\00:04:17.68
it just draws us outside.
00:04:17.89\00:04:20.09
It really does.
It draws us outside.
00:04:20.28\00:04:21.69
And so with that in
mind and when we do walk
00:04:21.91\00:04:24.40
in our neighborhood we
come back with groceries.
00:04:24.60\00:04:26.69
Now you want to explain
that because again and again
00:04:26.90\00:04:30.12
it is so efficacious
when we're walking, yeah,
00:04:30.32\00:04:33.57
and then also in the
open air with the sunlight
00:04:33.78\00:04:37.35
that's three right there
that we can really increase
00:04:37.56\00:04:40.33
our mood but let's
talk about the groceries.
00:04:40.52\00:04:42.45
I want to say
especially around the spring
00:04:42.66\00:04:45.19
or summer time really
that everybody's gardens
00:04:45.41\00:04:48.36
are all blooming and
as we get to be friends
00:04:48.54\00:04:50.76
with our neighbors
we've got figs from a neighbor
00:04:50.96\00:04:53.82
who have a big fig
tree and we've gotten
00:04:54.02\00:04:55.58
plums and peaches
and apples and pears,
00:04:55.76\00:04:59.80
I mean I can't
believe it, so yes,
00:05:00.01\00:05:01.70
every time we go for a walk
00:05:01.91\00:05:03.28
and we come back with groceries.
00:05:03.31\00:05:04.68
God gives us
groceries from outdoors.
00:05:04.71\00:05:06.52
Now in our neighborhood
you can see back there
00:05:06.72\00:05:08.80
of course we have a
lot of water too though
00:05:09.00\00:05:10.71
but lot of people
have a lot of fruit trees
00:05:10.91\00:05:14.16
and so with that in
mind people have pear trees,
00:05:14.36\00:05:17.33
apple trees, plum trees,
fig trees in their backyard,
00:05:17.53\00:05:20.95
a lot of these individuals
don't even eat those fruits.
00:05:21.16\00:05:24.07
No, no, no. But we love
fruit and we actually go
00:05:24.28\00:05:27.53
and knock people's
door, may we pick your apples,
00:05:27.72\00:05:31.05
may we pick your
pears. Oh! No problem,
00:05:31.25\00:05:33.77
and we're there for
a long period of time.
00:05:33.97\00:05:35.99
I think the most
amazing thing is that
00:05:36.17\00:05:37.54
we have discovered it
by being friendly you know
00:05:37.58\00:05:40.57
by to make friends you
must be friends us as well,
00:05:40.76\00:05:42.82
and so with that in
mind I was being out there,
00:05:43.02\00:05:45.49
making friends with
the neighbors and we did,
00:05:45.68\00:05:48.60
we did go knock on the
door believe it or not.
00:05:48.80\00:05:50.41
We knocked on
someone's door, they had apples
00:05:50.60\00:05:52.28
and pears hanging from
the tree and we saw this
00:05:52.47\00:05:54.87
for a couple of
weeks and we finally went
00:05:55.08\00:05:56.69
knocked on a door
and a woman we said,
00:05:56.88\00:05:58.61
we know she had a lot of
apples and pears out there
00:05:58.82\00:06:00.71
she said, are you kidding me,
00:06:00.89\00:06:02.26
I'm trying to
give these things away.
00:06:02.29\00:06:03.66
We said, well, never fear,
00:06:03.79\00:06:05.16
we made apple sauce and plum,
00:06:05.28\00:06:07.92
oh we made all kinds
of stuff. God is good.
00:06:08.13\00:06:11.59
And our serotonin was
increased at the same time.
00:06:11.79\00:06:14.76
Absolutely,
absolutely. To beat the blues,
00:06:15.00\00:06:16.37
not that we were blue,
yeah, we were just hungry.
00:06:16.49\00:06:18.48
But now God's word says
something about exercise
00:06:18.70\00:06:21.18
as well, and let's
look at God's word.
00:06:21.39\00:06:23.31
This is Genesis
chapter 2 and verse 15,
00:06:23.51\00:06:27.06
and God is talking to
the first parents here.
00:06:27.28\00:06:30.09
And the Lord God
took the man and the woman
00:06:30.29\00:06:33.91
and put him and her,
when make sure everybody
00:06:34.12\00:06:37.71
is happy, we're
including everybody,
00:06:37.91\00:06:39.81
in to the garden of
Eden to do two things,
00:06:40.04\00:06:42.63
to dress it and to keep it.
00:06:42.83\00:06:46.83
Now when you
look at the of course
00:06:47.05\00:06:49.17
Bible was not written in English
00:06:49.39\00:06:51.21
it was written in Hebrew
and Greek, and also Aramaic
00:06:51.43\00:06:54.95
but when Bible says to
dress it and to keep it,
00:06:55.16\00:06:57.60
it's talking about
exercise, physical activity,
00:06:57.80\00:07:01.50
thereby our creator
God designed our bodies
00:07:01.71\00:07:05.39
to engage in physical activity.
00:07:05.59\00:07:08.23
So Adam and Eve they
were just not sitting
00:07:08.43\00:07:10.69
around in garden of
Eden, eating apples and oranges
00:07:10.88\00:07:13.28
and whatever, they
will also engaged in work
00:07:13.48\00:07:16.20
not in the manual
labor that we think of
00:07:16.40\00:07:18.32
but it was work
outside in the open doors
00:07:18.53\00:07:21.22
in the sunlight and also
using their bodies as well.
00:07:21.42\00:07:24.56
So therefore, God's
word talked about the value
00:07:24.78\00:07:28.33
of physical activity
in the Garden of Eden,
00:07:28.54\00:07:31.85
this was before sin, before sin.
00:07:32.07\00:07:35.01
I think we have a
graphic too as well
00:07:35.22\00:07:38.40
this is a study
that happened and was,
00:07:38.59\00:07:40.80
took place at the Mayo Clinic
00:07:40.99\00:07:42.84
in Rochester,
Minnesota about exercise.
00:07:43.04\00:07:46.10
So let's look at the
graphic at this time.
00:07:46.31\00:07:48.44
Walk it out. And this is
the study done like I said
00:07:50.55\00:07:54.01
before at the Mayo
Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota
00:07:54.20\00:07:56.24
and these people actually
walked out there depression
00:07:56.44\00:08:00.01
or beating the
blues and one thing
00:08:00.21\00:08:01.83
that walking does, is number 1,
00:08:02.02\00:08:03.39
it increases
endorphins this is again
00:08:03.48\00:08:06.98
is a mood
enhancers so by walking
00:08:07.18\00:08:09.52
you increase your
endorphins, excellent for that.
00:08:09.73\00:08:13.12
The next thing it does
and like we said before
00:08:13.33\00:08:15.44
it also increase serotonin
00:08:15.63\00:08:18.43
this is also a mood
hormone as well, so again
00:08:18.63\00:08:21.95
endorphins and
serotonin is both increased.
00:08:22.14\00:08:25.54
The next one is, it decreases
00:08:25.73\00:08:27.92
one of the stress
hormones called Cortisol,
00:08:28.12\00:08:30.84
this produced by
the adrenal glands
00:08:31.04\00:08:32.93
and so therefore by
with that in mind it's also
00:08:33.14\00:08:36.62
going to enhance
ones mood as well, okay,
00:08:36.83\00:08:40.39
and then lastly it
also releases the tension
00:08:40.59\00:08:43.83
primarily in the
muscles when you walk,
00:08:44.04\00:08:47.08
so therefore, by those
individuals who did that
00:08:47.30\00:08:50.37
and we're look at about
20 to 30 minutes per day
00:08:50.57\00:08:55.12
and those who walk
more at least 3 to 5 times
00:08:55.32\00:08:58.79
a week have a
significant increase in beating
00:08:58.99\00:09:02.39
those blues just
by walking alone.
00:09:02.58\00:09:04.85
They're powerful
and very efficacious.
00:09:05.05\00:09:07.23
We've got a friend
Barbara in our neighborhood,
00:09:07.44\00:09:09.99
yeah, that's
true, and every time
00:09:10.21\00:09:11.58
we walk in the
morning, early in the morning
00:09:11.61\00:09:12.98
she is always out there, yeah,
00:09:13.01\00:09:14.38
and the thing is so
amazing is that she is a widow
00:09:14.41\00:09:16.50
and everyday she
is out there walking
00:09:16.70\00:09:19.97
and when we see
her, that's right,
00:09:20.17\00:09:21.54
she is always happy,
she always talks about how
00:09:21.72\00:09:23.41
the being out in nature really
00:09:23.60\00:09:25.16
helps her a lot as
well. And so I guess you want
00:09:25.35\00:09:28.44
to know then we talk about
that air out there walking,
00:09:28.62\00:09:30.35
we're talking about
the sun and everything.
00:09:30.53\00:09:31.90
How does the air
help soothe our nerves?
00:09:31.93\00:09:34.79
Okay, well, it does,
let's go, before we go to our
00:09:35.00\00:09:38.25
next graphic let me
first qualify this author.
00:09:38.47\00:09:42.19
We mentioned this author
before in previous programs,
00:09:42.40\00:09:44.92
the author has been
translated more than any
00:09:45.12\00:09:48.52
other author in
United States according
00:09:48.73\00:09:50.76
to the Library of
congress in Washington DC,
00:09:50.97\00:09:53.43
The most second
translator author in the world.
00:09:53.65\00:09:57.05
This author makes
a profound statement
00:09:57.26\00:09:59.49
as far as air is concerned.
00:09:59.69\00:10:02.47
Let's go to our next graphic
00:10:03.11\00:10:04.48
and let's see
what this author says,
00:10:04.51\00:10:05.92
The boon of
heaven, this is from the
00:10:06.93\00:10:09.53
book ministry of
healing, it this says
00:10:09.74\00:10:11.11
"A good respiration of
fresh air soothes the nerves
00:10:11.24\00:10:19.20
and induces sound
refreshing sleep."
00:10:19.42\00:10:25.23
I should get a
good amen on that one.
00:10:25.44\00:10:27.25
Amen, amen. That's true.
00:10:27.44\00:10:28.81
Okay, well, I
guess you're the only one
00:10:28.84\00:10:30.21
and I guess people
can't say that but,
00:10:30.24\00:10:31.61
so again and we're
talking about fresh air
00:10:31.64\00:10:33.24
in previous
program on Abundant Living
00:10:33.46\00:10:35.54
as far as mental
wellness is concerned,
00:10:35.75\00:10:38.18
I think weeks ago we
talked about those who
00:10:38.39\00:10:40.82
tend to have their
doors closed and room closed,
00:10:40.85\00:10:44.73
not having any
fresh coming into their
00:10:44.95\00:10:46.78
sleeping quarters in particular,
00:10:46.98\00:10:48.71
it also leads to
depression in the mind becomes
00:10:48.91\00:10:52.72
depressed, so just to
reverse having that fresh air
00:10:52.92\00:10:56.44
coming in
particularly in the winter time
00:10:56.65\00:10:58.88
with the little crack
window and thereby with that
00:10:59.10\00:11:02.42
in mind our mood
will enhance, increases
00:11:02.61\00:11:06.07
our circulation
and also it quickens
00:11:06.27\00:11:08.65
our mind as well, so
fresh air is wonderful,
00:11:08.84\00:11:11.74
so if we do the fresh
air while walking outside
00:11:11.94\00:11:15.10
with the sunlight
now you have three things
00:11:15.34\00:11:18.36
working for you, so
it's really wonderful
00:11:18.58\00:11:20.41
as far as the
fresh air is concerned.
00:11:20.61\00:11:22.14
Now we do this in
our bedroom as well
00:11:22.36\00:11:24.92
and our window of
course at the side on the bed
00:11:25.12\00:11:27.57
and so in the winter
time our windows are open
00:11:27.78\00:11:30.16
what I say about
what 2 inches or so
00:11:30.35\00:11:32.77
and it's very good for that.
00:11:32.97\00:11:34.60
Now I know, I know
surely you are saying yourself
00:11:34.81\00:11:37.64
I am not opening up
my window at night time
00:11:37.85\00:11:39.96
while I sleep because you
don't know my neighborhood.
00:11:40.16\00:11:42.25
Well, let me just say
this one of best things to do
00:11:42.46\00:11:45.23
is to actually get that
fresh air inside as well as
00:11:45.42\00:11:47.95
when we go outdoors and
the reason for that is that
00:11:48.15\00:11:50.32
there are so much
chemicals and things
00:11:50.53\00:11:51.90
inside the house we're
breathing continuously.
00:11:51.98\00:11:53.82
We got the drapes closed.
00:11:54.02\00:11:55.43
We got the
windows closed so when
00:11:55.64\00:11:57.24
we have the ability to
actually open up now I say,
00:11:57.44\00:11:59.32
if you're afraid to have
the windows open at night
00:11:59.55\00:12:01.87
then during the
daytime open your windows up
00:12:02.07\00:12:05.07
and I even say if you
have a bathroom adjacent or,
00:12:05.29\00:12:08.20
to the bedroom you can
actually open up the house
00:12:08.40\00:12:10.80
in the daytime let the
fresh air come through,
00:12:10.99\00:12:12.71
in the evening you
can crack the window
00:12:12.90\00:12:14.27
a little bit unless
you're a ranch level home,
00:12:14.30\00:12:16.35
then of course
you might have problem
00:12:16.67\00:12:18.15
with that as well.
But I want you to know
00:12:18.18\00:12:20.00
that we always say that
when we are letting that
00:12:20.21\00:12:24.34
fresh air come in it
does something to the psyche,
00:12:25.07\00:12:27.87
it really does, it makes
you feel good, going outside
00:12:28.10\00:12:30.88
having air outside and
the air inside as well.
00:12:31.08\00:12:33.52
Beating those
blues, beating the blues
00:12:33.72\00:12:35.30
is the name of the
game, the name of the game,
00:12:35.50\00:12:36.87
and I gonna tell you,
my next one, the question
00:12:36.90\00:12:39.17
I have here is so apropo
because I want to talk about
00:12:39.37\00:12:42.23
how does laughter
help reduce stress?
00:12:42.43\00:12:45.40
Well, it really
does and it really helps
00:12:45.60\00:12:47.86
beating the blues, I
am gonna go to God's word
00:12:48.05\00:12:49.42
on this one of course
I can cite this verbatim
00:12:49.58\00:12:53.67
but Proverbs chapter 17,
I believe and verse 22, yes,
00:12:53.87\00:12:58.79
it says, here A
merry, happy, joyful heart
00:12:58.99\00:13:03.70
I'm adding those
words doeth good like
00:13:03.92\00:13:06.05
a medicine but a broken spirit,
00:13:06.25\00:13:08.91
a depressed
spirit drieth the bones.
00:13:09.10\00:13:12.69
A lot we can say
about that but though again
00:13:12.90\00:13:15.56
when we're happy,
when we're joyful,
00:13:15.77\00:13:17.38
it increases our
white blood cells.
00:13:17.57\00:13:19.67
Our white blood cells are
manufactured in our bones.
00:13:19.89\00:13:23.14
White blood cells
contain a lot of fluid
00:13:23.35\00:13:25.40
thereby when we are depressed
00:13:25.62\00:13:27.95
our White blood cell
count is low therefore,
00:13:28.16\00:13:31.39
there is less fluid and
our bones actually are dryer.
00:13:31.60\00:13:34.86
So this text is
physiologically sound,
00:13:35.08\00:13:39.73
it maybe hard do
good like a medicine
00:13:39.96\00:13:41.92
but a broken
spirit drieth the bones.
00:13:42.12\00:13:45.08
So laughter is really
like a shot of morphine
00:13:45.28\00:13:48.64
it really is, and I think
we have a graphic on this.
00:13:48.84\00:13:51.10
Let's go to our next graph
00:13:51.29\00:13:52.66
and let's see
what laughter can do.
00:13:52.69\00:13:54.06
I will call that
"Humor Intervention"
00:13:55.04\00:13:56.98
This is what it
says, laughter reduces
00:13:57.18\00:13:59.44
the levels of stress hormones
00:13:59.65\00:14:01.30
and at the same time
increases natural killer
00:14:01.53\00:14:05.95
cell function
lasting honey up to 12 hours,
00:14:06.16\00:14:11.44
the power of laughter.
00:14:11.66\00:14:13.89
Again if we have to checkout
some Candid Camera videos
00:14:14.11\00:14:18.91
or something but
in our home of course
00:14:19.12\00:14:21.41
there is a lot of
laughter and my wife,
00:14:21.60\00:14:23.19
she's so precious she
laughed at all of my jokes
00:14:23.39\00:14:25.23
whether they are funny or not,
00:14:25.44\00:14:26.81
and sometimes she
cried so much like
00:14:26.85\00:14:28.78
she is doing right now
but laughter is a boost
00:14:28.98\00:14:31.16
of a shot of
morphine is what I call it.
00:14:31.38\00:14:33.29
So it's one way
of beating blues,
00:14:33.50\00:14:35.47
laughter is really good.
00:14:35.68\00:14:37.05
Well, you know, in
our home we don't need
00:14:37.16\00:14:39.09
to have any
laughter videos or DVDs.
00:14:39.29\00:14:41.58
For those of who
have not this is might
00:14:41.80\00:14:44.44
be your first time
watching Abundant Living
00:14:44.63\00:14:46.00
I want you to know that
Curtis keeps me in stitches,
00:14:46.10\00:14:47.99
alright, he is always
funny, he's always saying things
00:14:48.22\00:14:50.20
and so with that in mind I sure
00:14:50.42\00:14:52.59
that I go way
beyond 12 hours of having
00:14:52.84\00:14:55.70
my system boosted up alright.
00:14:55.91\00:14:58.36
With do 24x7. 24x7
is like that you know
00:14:58.57\00:15:01.07
and it's a
blessing I am truly blessed,
00:15:01.29\00:15:03.25
I am grateful and
thankful to the Lord
00:15:03.47\00:15:04.91
that He is in my life
and he has a lot to say
00:15:05.14\00:15:07.49
and of course he
does keep me laughing
00:15:07.71\00:15:09.88
and I always say if
someone were to come
00:15:10.09\00:15:12.51
by our home as
our windows are up.
00:15:12.71\00:15:14.53
They would say what in the world
00:15:14.76\00:15:16.13
is going on with
the Eakins because
00:15:16.33\00:15:17.82
he is always making
me laugh. Praise Him.
00:15:18.05\00:15:21.32
Well, I think, the
Lord, and we don't have
00:15:21.54\00:15:23.26
to be comedians but I
think the Lord just wants us
00:15:23.48\00:15:25.68
to be humorous and God
has a sense of humor too
00:15:26.53\00:15:29.91
as one person said, you
know God has a sense of humor
00:15:30.12\00:15:32.47
just look in the
mirror, so but anyway
00:15:32.68\00:15:34.97
throw it out there let's
move to our last question.
00:15:35.18\00:15:36.92
Okay, okay, last
question. Alright.
00:15:37.14\00:15:39.52
Alright, music. Okay.
00:15:39.75\00:15:42.11
What about music,
how can that help?
00:15:42.33\00:15:44.51
Okay, music can
beat the blues folks
00:15:44.73\00:15:46.80
and let me tell you
we're probably gonna expand
00:15:47.00\00:15:48.70
a little bit
more into the kitchen
00:15:48.89\00:15:50.26
but let me just lay
the foundation here.
00:15:50.29\00:15:51.66
God's word is the
standard of truth.
00:15:51.69\00:15:54.06
When Saul was troubled,
Saul, the King in the Bible,
00:15:54.29\00:15:58.29
David played on his
harp and Saul was refreshed.
00:15:58.49\00:16:02.26
Ephesians 5:19, says,
singing and making melody
00:16:02.47\00:16:08.85
in your heart, spiritual, psalms
00:16:09.07\00:16:11.73
and hymns very good for that.
00:16:11.95\00:16:13.96
The children of Israel
while they would journey
00:16:14.17\00:16:16.50
through the wilderness,
they'd cheer their way
00:16:16.72\00:16:18.87
with music of sacred song.
00:16:19.09\00:16:21.44
So music is a
weapon, we can always use
00:16:21.66\00:16:25.82
against discouragement,
lets put a pen in that one.
00:16:26.04\00:16:29.67
Let's go into in the kitchen.
00:16:29.89\00:16:31.26
We're gonna put
a pen in that way
00:16:31.29\00:16:32.66
and we wanna make sure
that the music is good music,
00:16:32.69\00:16:34.17
spiritual music as you
just got finished saying,
00:16:34.39\00:16:36.70
and speaking of
music we have a recipe
00:16:36.90\00:16:40.18
and this recipe is
a mock sausage quiche,
00:16:40.39\00:16:43.85
get your paper and your pencil
00:16:44.00\00:16:45.68
and meet us in the kitchen.
00:16:45.89\00:16:47.44
