This is turning into one of my favorite videos. For a few reasons… and it is why I chose to post the longer video of these guys. They talk about the wind, the logistics, etc. The guy doing the cutting looks like he is examining the part of the tree he is cutting into in order to surmise where he has to cut — like a boss! The other reason I love this video is that a theme today at a men’s Bible group focused a bit on pride. Then, driving home from the doctors office a guy called into the Dennis Prager show with a Bible verse. Dennis made the point that academics listening would roll their eyes at a Bible verse being used as a resource for wisdom, whereas, they would have listened more closely if it were Marx, Chomsky, or the like… noting the secular aspect and bias in modern-day academic pursuits. The conversation included “pride” IN-THAT secularism is the poster-child for a pride that much of the Bible speaks to. Because it makes the individual person the ultimate source for all values, which leads to self adulation.
Which brings me BACK to this video. I love how the guy… with all his knowledge and prep… fell to his knees and praised God. Love it.
