1
00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:31.160
Well, Blockhead Nations. It's been a minute now, hasn't it.

2
00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:36.479
In fact, it pains me to say that I have

3
00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:43.479
not been diligent nor consistent with this show. I made

4
00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:45.679
a promise to you a while back that I would

5
00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:51.079
do bi weekly shows for my podcast listeners that are

6
00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:55.679
still here, for those that might feel a little bit disappointed,

7
00:00:57.119 --> 00:01:00.840
or might have been a little confused, or maybe simply

8
00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:03.159
went on to another medium. First of all, I understand

9
00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:08.640
and I cannot apologize enough that it was not intentional

10
00:01:09.879 --> 00:01:12.719
for me to take this long to put out an episode.

11
00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:16.319
But since you are here, I think we should start

12
00:01:16.319 --> 00:01:18.480
with the proper bells and whistles. You are listening to

13
00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:21.439
your favorite block Yet this is a podcast to our

14
00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:25.239
number one God is King. Number Two, we acknowledge that

15
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:30.079
Peanuts is the single most successful comic strip in American history. Three,

16
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:34.359
This is a podcaster who is making his way through

17
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:38.400
the first year of his life without both of his parents,

18
00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:42.560
who understands more of the grieving process the more he

19
00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:47.640
goes through it, and wants to be of service to

20
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:50.239
those of you that listen to this show. And that's

21
00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:53.519
where we kind of have hit a wall, just because

22
00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:56.200
it took me a while to come on and sit

23
00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:59.359
down on the microphone, and we just had our first

24
00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:02.159
week of school. Those that know me, this is a

25
00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:06.560
teacher by day and podcaster by weekend, that it's really

26
00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:11.120
difficult to get through Saturdays when you are preparing for

27
00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:14.479
the week and get started with going back to school

28
00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:19.840
as a teacher who wants to give the best that

29
00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:23.240
they have to their students, but also has duties and

30
00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:27.199
responsibilities here at the Blockhead Mansion. So I don't bring

31
00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:29.159
these up as excuses. It's just to say that it

32
00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:30.800
took me a month to finally sit down and have

33
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:34.159
something to say. And when I looked at my thoughts

34
00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:40.000
as I've collected them, they're very it's poor language, it's

35
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:44.919
poor verbiage to use this as discombobulated. But it just

36
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:47.840
kind of hit me this morning as at first I

37
00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:50.000
had this wave of guilt come over me that has

38
00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:52.120
taken me a whole month to finally talk to the

39
00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:57.240
Blockhead Nation. But I stepped into the shower and I

40
00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:01.680
remembered that we had a detachable shower head. That is

41
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:04.080
only to say that we had put that in place

42
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:10.319
when my mother was diagnosed with cancer stage four pancreatic cancer,

43
00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:12.159
and we had moved her into our house and we

44
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:16.199
were looking for any way to make our home as

45
00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:19.719
comfortable for her as possible. And one way I do

46
00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:23.240
that was replace the shower head with a detachable shower

47
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:26.199
head with a magnetic base that you can use for

48
00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:28.879
the long extended host y'all know what I'm talking about,

49
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:32.479
and you can show yourself a much closer range instead

50
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:34.759
of long distance. So we put one of those in

51
00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:37.680
for her, and we had a shower chair in our

52
00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:40.879
shower ready for her, and within a week she checked

53
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:44.199
herself into assisted living. And I don't think she did

54
00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:47.280
that because she felt like she was a burden. She

55
00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:50.680
just knew that she needed more help than we were

56
00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:55.319
able to offer, so she got on hospice. She checked

57
00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:58.919
herself in to assisted living. And we never replaced that

58
00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:03.960
detachable shower just because it's a good showerhead. It's convenient,

59
00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:06.919
and both the little Red hair girl and I like it,

60
00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:10.360
so I've never gone back to the old showerhead. We've

61
00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:13.960
kept this one, but I've never detached it for any reason.

62
00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:18.120
And while I was taking my morning shower, a lot

63
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:20.680
of you are probably like this. Some of you like

64
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:25.639
me are slow waker uppers. Boy, that's poor terminology, but

65
00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:28.879
still it takes you a while to wake up, and

66
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:31.800
you build up slowly. So I don't know block a Nation,

67
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:35.399
how I made it through the Navy in my early twenties.

68
00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:39.639
But now I go, I don't wake up very quickly.

69
00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:41.759
I wake up slowly. I need to have my shower.

70
00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:44.279
I need to have my coffee. And especially in the

71
00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:47.240
week when I'm teaching, I get into first period, the

72
00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:50.560
kids come in and we start to do our warm ups,

73
00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:52.720
and I start to get warmed up myself because the

74
00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:56.040
coffee's flowing and I'm starting to get into my element.

75
00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:59.800
So that's still true that to get your day going

76
00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:01.519
on it Saturday, I've got to get in and get

77
00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:03.959
a shower before I even want to talk to anybody.

78
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:06.720
And my poor little red hair girls been on the

79
00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:10.120
receiving end of my grumpiness. And so I see this

80
00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:15.399
detachable showerhead that I have not replaced in over a year,

81
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:21.000
and I actually detach it from the docking system and

82
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:24.560
pull it up to my face, and I remember this

83
00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:29.160
old commercial from the eighties, and right then and there,

84
00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:34.439
Blockhead Nation, I started to think about a song from

85
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:39.759
nineteen eighty seven, and right there in my shower as

86
00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:44.040
I got started for the day, I dedicated a song

87
00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:48.720
to the blockhead nation and to all podcast listeners that

88
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:51.399
want to come and listen to this little podcast that

89
00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:54.240
I would get back in there today and I would

90
00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:59.639
boost my own energy while singing the ballad. And I

91
00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:04.079
believe the phrase goes looking at the lyrics, never gonna

92
00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:08.279
give you up, never gonna let you down, never gonna

93
00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:11.480
run around nor desert you, never gonna make you cry,

94
00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:16.959
never gonna say goodbye. If you are a young listener,

95
00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:19.279
you may not have a clue what I'm talking about.

96
00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:23.800
If you are a millennial at a minimum, you know

97
00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:27.000
I am quoting the lyrics from never Gonna Give You

98
00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:31.279
Up by Rick Atsley that eventually in the mid two

99
00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:36.160
thousands evolved into this thing called the Rick Roll. And

100
00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:39.120
in that moment, I had this boost of energy, and

101
00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:43.040
I was singing into my detachable shower head, and I thought,

102
00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:46.879
I'm getting back into the game. I'm going to put

103
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:50.879
a podcast out, no matter how spontaneous it is, no

104
00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:55.439
matter how discombobulated it may be. Your favorite blockhead is back,

105
00:06:56.759 --> 00:06:59.040
and we're gonna try to do this. The right way

106
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:02.519
at least be maybe a little more consistent. Now that

107
00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:05.279
the school year has begun and I'm here with you

108
00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:08.240
and I'm excited to be talking with you again. It

109
00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:12.839
has been too long, and that entirely falls upon my shoulders.

110
00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:15.240
And some of you are probably having that moment of

111
00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:19.720
I wonder if you even have a brain, well, the

112
00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:25.160
scarecrow mentality, you know, those philosophical meanderings from the Wizard

113
00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:29.079
of Oz. He puts it well too. I don't know

114
00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:31.279
why I can talk if I don't have a brain,

115
00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:35.240
but some people without brains do an awful lot of talking,

116
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:39.079
and that works against me as a podcaster. But we're

117
00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:42.839
still gonna move forward with this. So I've been dwelling

118
00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:47.399
on these thoughts for a while, and I think what

119
00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:49.759
I'll finally do is this week, I'm not gonna just

120
00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:52.240
include a book. I'm still reading the same book from

121
00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:55.120
the last time we spoke, the Jesus Discoveries, and I

122
00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:58.079
will share something about that at the end of this episode.

123
00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:03.600
But I will share something about not being what this

124
00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:07.319
song is. The song is by a group called Fireflight,

125
00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:11.959
and the song is called Desperate. Now when I say

126
00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:16.680
being desperate, we're talking from a biblical sense, You've got

127
00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:20.959
me desperate. I believe that's about where I am in

128
00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:23.680
my faith walk Blockade Nation, that I am desperate to

129
00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:28.759
know God's word. I want to know his voice. I

130
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:31.279
want to know more about the son of Man who

131
00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:34.600
stood before the Ancient of days. And I'll get to

132
00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:38.120
all that in due time. But that's where from a

133
00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:42.679
heavenly sense and a biblical sense, I'm desperate to know more,

134
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:47.840
to have my heavenly Father unveil more things to me.

135
00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:54.919
But I am less desperate when it comes to this world.

136
00:08:55.679 --> 00:08:57.960
Even in my career. That doesn't mean that I've become lazy.

137
00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:00.399
It doesn't mean that I don't care, mean that I

138
00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:04.240
won't do things with excellence or diligence, And that doesn't

139
00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:08.799
even mean this podcast. What I mean is I'm not

140
00:09:08.840 --> 00:09:12.639
gonna chase clout. This might even be a lesson for you,

141
00:09:12.639 --> 00:09:16.080
blocked as I'm looking for ways to serve everybody that's listening,

142
00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:19.600
and I've come up with a phrase, and here it is,

143
00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:26.720
the more desperate you are, the less you can truly

144
00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:31.159
serve others. Let me repeat that one more time, and

145
00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:35.120
may you chew on these words just a little bit.

146
00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:42.120
The more desperate you are, the less you can truly

147
00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:49.919
serve others. I've found a lot of contentment this year

148
00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:52.799
block a nation. And that does not mean that I

149
00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:56.200
don't have times where I'm not grieving the loss of

150
00:09:56.200 --> 00:10:00.759
my parents. It doesn't mean that I've is giving up

151
00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:02.960
on what this is. It's just that this earth doesn't

152
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:06.679
have anything to offer me anymore. This life is not

153
00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:09.600
gonna hold some imaginary brass ring that I'm gonna try

154
00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:12.600
and go attain. You know, I look at people who

155
00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:19.600
want to become successful, and usually the ones that are

156
00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:23.600
are the ones that can't stop their mouth from moving

157
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:27.279
so much to where you can't have an intellectual thought

158
00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:32.480
that you can't logically think through something meaning a car

159
00:10:32.519 --> 00:10:36.960
salesman that's new to the profession. The ones who've been

160
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:39.240
doing it for a while don't move their mouth as much.

161
00:10:40.559 --> 00:10:45.000
Just something to think about. Great example from one of

162
00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:49.039
the greatest movies ever made. If you've never seen the

163
00:10:49.080 --> 00:10:52.720
movie Cool Hand Luke, you should take the time to

164
00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:59.440
watch this one, this classic masterpiece. There is a scene

165
00:10:59.600 --> 00:11:05.799
where Luke is playing a hand of poker. He barely

166
00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:10.639
looks at his cards. He's very calmly drinking his soda

167
00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:16.759
from a glass bottle, and every time they circle around

168
00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:21.799
the game you hear him say kick a buck. He

169
00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:25.759
barely looks at his cards. The other guys start folding,

170
00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:31.639
one gets influenced from the outside, and finally he continues

171
00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:33.440
to kick a buck, Kick a buck, Kick a buck.

172
00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:35.360
I use that as a title once in one of

173
00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:38.480
my podcasts a long time ago. But finally he gets

174
00:11:38.480 --> 00:11:40.679
to the point where they go, you need to get out.

175
00:11:40.759 --> 00:11:42.879
The guy has a pair of kings, which we don't

176
00:11:42.919 --> 00:11:46.039
know that. And then finally the guy folds and they

177
00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:47.679
go you want to see him, and they pull Luke's

178
00:11:47.720 --> 00:11:51.480
cards and he has and I quote, a handful of nothing,

179
00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:58.000
completely bluffed everybody at the table. And but prior to that,

180
00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:00.480
he had been boxing the guy out in the courtyard

181
00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:04.720
and had been basically almost bludgeon to death. But he

182
00:12:04.840 --> 00:12:07.639
won the fight because he kept coming back and kept

183
00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:09.519
trying to fight, and the guy felt sorry for him

184
00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:12.519
and walked away. You see him in the seniers as

185
00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:14.279
just like when he kept coming back today at me

186
00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:19.879
with nothing, And then he quotes one of the greatest

187
00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:25.840
lines in the movie I've ever heard. Sometimes nothing can

188
00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:32.360
be a real cool hand. The more desperate you are,

189
00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:39.519
the less you can truly serve others. The less desperate

190
00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:45.440
you are you have the upper hand. You become cool hand. Luke,

191
00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:07.519
it has been too long since I did a scripture

192
00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:09.600
of the day blockad Nation. Here's what I'm about to do.

193
00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:13.559
I'm gonna pull straight from Blueletterbible dot Org. I'm pulling

194
00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:17.919
from the Gospel of Matthew five, verse twelve. We'll stick

195
00:13:17.960 --> 00:13:20.120
with this because it says all you need to know,

196
00:13:21.639 --> 00:13:27.679
Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward

197
00:13:27.799 --> 00:13:34.039
in heaven. For so persecuted they the prophets which were

198
00:13:34.080 --> 00:13:36.919
before you. That is so relevant to what I'm about

199
00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:39.200
to share in a minute. But our reflection from Blue

200
00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:42.440
Letter Bible says this, Truly, the child of faith should

201
00:13:42.480 --> 00:13:47.159
rejoice in his persecution, for in it he shall find

202
00:13:47.320 --> 00:13:54.519
union with Christ Jesus. What beautiful grim a mystery that

203
00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:58.639
we the Church should find our identity in the death

204
00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:03.440
of Christ, and by being found in his death, we

205
00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:12.000
shall likewise be found in his resurrection. Rejoice, and it

206
00:14:12.120 --> 00:14:18.120
leads me to discuss the empty tomb. I mentioned how

207
00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:23.440
I was reading this book called the Jesus Discoveries ten

208
00:14:23.639 --> 00:14:30.399
Historic finds that do bring you face to face with Jesus.

209
00:14:32.879 --> 00:14:38.919
And I have to go with one of the examples

210
00:14:38.919 --> 00:14:45.039
that they talk about. When Jesus is crucified, he's buried

211
00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:50.200
in a borrowed tomb Joseph of Arimathea, and he's wrapped

212
00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:53.919
in a shroud. And for those of you that don't

213
00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:57.519
know this story, there's been a man since nineteen seventy

214
00:14:57.519 --> 00:15:03.360
five who is He's not in the same ministry vocation

215
00:15:04.080 --> 00:15:06.399
as most people who would be within the shroud. So

216
00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:10.320
it's believed that the shroud that Jesus was buried in

217
00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:14.120
is in Turin, Italy as we speak, the Shroud of Turin.

218
00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:19.200
It's not like the public has easy access to this.

219
00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:25.639
Very few do. But one man who is not a pastor,

220
00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:30.960
he's not a missionary, he's not a religious person in

221
00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:36.919
any shape or form. He is a mathematician, he's a physicist,

222
00:15:38.360 --> 00:15:40.639
but he's in a leadership role that allows him to

223
00:15:40.679 --> 00:15:46.159
be in presence of the shroud. His name is Professor Barbaris.

224
00:15:47.039 --> 00:15:49.639
It's funny to me how his name is very similar

225
00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:53.559
to Barabbas. That's just irony, but we can get to

226
00:15:53.600 --> 00:15:57.960
that another day. But this man has spent countless hours

227
00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:03.320
within the presence of the shroud. Whenever the President of

228
00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:08.039
Italy comes to see the shroud of Turin, Professor Barbaris

229
00:16:08.440 --> 00:16:12.120
is one who takes him in and shows him the

230
00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:18.279
conservation efforts of the shroud. He shows him and among

231
00:16:18.320 --> 00:16:21.360
many other dignitaries who come through. He's part of the tour.

232
00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:27.360
And he was finally asked by a close friend, a

233
00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:31.240
man who lives by math, a man who lives by

234
00:16:31.519 --> 00:16:36.639
data analysis. And he was finally asked, do you believe

235
00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:41.480
that this is the shroud that Jesus was buried in?

236
00:16:41.559 --> 00:16:45.679
His exact response is this, and I quote, I must

237
00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:51.159
believe it. The numbers caused me to be sure. And

238
00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:57.320
he based that upon seven elements. The first one was

239
00:16:57.320 --> 00:17:01.519
the barreu in a linen shroud, which that's ray block

240
00:17:01.600 --> 00:17:03.639
a nation. If you have not looked at the story

241
00:17:03.679 --> 00:17:09.240
about Jesus, about the crucifixion in the Roman Empire, when

242
00:17:09.279 --> 00:17:13.960
you would have people taken away to the cross, it

243
00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:19.519
wouldn't be somebody who willingly walks and carries their own cross.

244
00:17:19.839 --> 00:17:23.519
They would have to be drug by chariots. They'd be

245
00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:27.440
forced to be there by Roman soldiers. And usually when

246
00:17:27.440 --> 00:17:29.799
they were dead, they would be buried in a mass

247
00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:36.440
grave mass burreaals, just like the Jews during Hitler's final solution.

248
00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:39.720
That's the way you have to think about this. It

249
00:17:39.799 --> 00:17:42.920
is rare that anybody would be taken off the cross

250
00:17:42.920 --> 00:17:48.519
and put into a tomb. It's not typical. Or sometimes

251
00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:51.880
they're just left for the scavengers. The second one is

252
00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:56.759
the crown of thorns, unparalleled in any other known execution

253
00:17:56.960 --> 00:18:01.160
method of that period. And He's says that the incisions

254
00:18:01.160 --> 00:18:05.559
that are in Jesus's head match the shroud. The third

255
00:18:05.559 --> 00:18:10.839
ones carrying the crossbeam bruising on the shoulder area. It

256
00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:14.119
matches the biblical detail of Jesus bearing his own cross

257
00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:17.039
number four, being nailed to the cross rather than being

258
00:18:17.079 --> 00:18:23.039
bound by ropes that was more common. The side wound

259
00:18:23.079 --> 00:18:29.480
without leg fractures. Gospel of John accounts for Jesus' legs

260
00:18:29.519 --> 00:18:32.200
not being broken. That was one of the ways that

261
00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:36.880
Roman soldiers was verified that they're dead, you break the bones.

262
00:18:38.119 --> 00:18:44.000
His bones were not broken. That fulfilled ancient prophecy all

263
00:18:44.039 --> 00:18:47.400
the way back to the Psalms. He got a spear

264
00:18:47.400 --> 00:18:52.599
in his side instead, against so many prophecies that are

265
00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:56.960
unfolded here. These are just a few of them. A

266
00:18:57.079 --> 00:18:59.359
lack of washing and a lack of anointing. The body

267
00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:05.920
was a rushed burial, was before the Sabbath. That's consistent

268
00:19:05.960 --> 00:19:12.079
with Jewish customs, and it follows the Gospel narrative. And

269
00:19:12.119 --> 00:19:16.039
it was also an entument that was very brief. You

270
00:19:16.119 --> 00:19:18.880
kind of remember by the fourth day, the body will

271
00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:22.880
have been decayed. He's risen on the third day. Block

272
00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:26.240
in Nation, the body appeared to have lain in the

273
00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:28.640
in the clothing and the cloth for less than seventy

274
00:19:28.680 --> 00:19:33.039
two hours, according to this professor, just long enough for

275
00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:36.200
the image to be impressed, but not long enough for

276
00:19:36.319 --> 00:19:40.680
any decomposition or any stains or disorting of the image.

277
00:19:40.920 --> 00:19:46.000
That's just one man that believes in things like the

278
00:19:46.079 --> 00:19:50.839
laws of probability. They can tell you that had to

279
00:19:50.880 --> 00:19:53.480
have been who this man was that was laid in

280
00:19:53.480 --> 00:19:57.319
the tomb block of Nation. I can go into more

281
00:19:57.359 --> 00:20:00.759
of that with you if you want, But it's more

282
00:20:00.839 --> 00:20:06.440
work to not have faith. And this is what makes

283
00:20:06.440 --> 00:20:10.160
me desperate to know more about my Lord and Savior.

284
00:20:11.279 --> 00:20:13.519
What I'm not desperate about is just something that I

285
00:20:13.519 --> 00:20:16.799
can share at the very end of this episode, because

286
00:20:16.839 --> 00:20:19.440
I know some of you have got this far and went, Blockhead,

287
00:20:19.440 --> 00:20:22.279
are you going to talk about peanuts at all? Sure?

288
00:20:23.559 --> 00:20:26.519
We have a goal that the Little Red Hair Girl

289
00:20:26.559 --> 00:20:30.720
and I will attain. I've mentioned this many times that

290
00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:34.480
one of our dreams is to finally go and see

291
00:20:34.559 --> 00:20:37.880
the Schultz Museum, which happens to be in their twenty

292
00:20:37.880 --> 00:20:40.759
fourth anniversary. We may not make it for the twenty

293
00:20:40.759 --> 00:20:45.759
fifth anniversary exactly, but twenty five years of this museum standing.

294
00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:50.559
This summer, your favorite Blockhead and the Little Red Hair

295
00:20:50.640 --> 00:20:55.319
Girl will be taking a summer vacation to San Diego, California.

296
00:20:56.680 --> 00:20:58.400
And where are we going to go? On our final day?

297
00:20:59.640 --> 00:21:03.160
We will be taking a day trip to San Francisco

298
00:21:04.480 --> 00:21:09.400
and then taking an hour drive to Santa Rosa to

299
00:21:09.599 --> 00:21:16.519
finally participate in the Charles Schultz Museum. Out of Santa Rosa.

300
00:21:16.839 --> 00:21:19.839
I cannot tell you how excited I am, and I'm

301
00:21:19.880 --> 00:21:22.480
counting down the days already. I'm in my third day

302
00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:26.160
of being in school and I can't wait until the

303
00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:29.400
month of June gets here. Not so much for summer vacation,

304
00:21:29.559 --> 00:21:32.279
but finally to take the trip that we've always wanted

305
00:21:32.279 --> 00:21:35.960
to take. It's on the bucket list blockad Nation, and

306
00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:38.799
they have a bucket list currently. Take the pictures with

307
00:21:38.920 --> 00:21:43.039
Charlie Brown, find your favorite comic strip, watch it on

308
00:21:43.079 --> 00:21:47.400
the big screen. There's a full days of events that

309
00:21:47.480 --> 00:21:49.279
we will be carrying out when we go to the

310
00:21:49.359 --> 00:21:54.200
Charles Schultz Museum in twenty twenty seven, and we will

311
00:21:54.279 --> 00:21:57.359
keep you updated when that comes closer. I'm thankful to

312
00:21:57.400 --> 00:22:01.039
all of you friends and family and listeners and blockadd

313
00:22:01.079 --> 00:22:03.079
Nation that have been a part of that dream, and

314
00:22:03.079 --> 00:22:05.920
we will keep you updated a year from now when

315
00:22:05.960 --> 00:22:08.799
that happens. We'll walk you through it may not be

316
00:22:08.839 --> 00:22:12.319
in real time, but as many updates as I can

317
00:22:12.359 --> 00:22:15.799
do through the podcast, through social media, through the blog,

318
00:22:16.599 --> 00:22:20.440
through YouTube videos, through pictures, through Facebook, all the works.

319
00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:23.960
It'll be there for you to see. We'll bring you

320
00:22:24.000 --> 00:22:29.720
along with us in a sense. Hopefully it won't be

321
00:22:29.759 --> 00:22:34.319
a month, but the plan is to speak to you

322
00:22:34.359 --> 00:22:38.839
again in two weeks blockadd Nation, so be prepared until then.

323
00:22:39.480 --> 00:22:41.200
This is why I fe be sound out. We'll catch

324
00:22:41.200 --> 00:23:03.920
you next time, same blockhead time, same blockhead chat. Oh
