That happened a little bit ago. 144 00:07:54,700 --> 00:07:57,600 What was that game actually? Like on the field, you know, I 145 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:02,700 knew we had it all along, every time I saw you hitting your head 146 00:08:02,700 --> 00:08:05,700 and give the goalposts. I've done this for 32 years. 147 00:08:05,700 --> 00:08:08,400 I don't think I've ever experienced two games like that. 148 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,900 My emotions were going like this, even though KC wolf has 149 00:08:11,900 --> 00:08:14,500 the permanent smile.

And for some of us, man, there's 460 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,400 a lot of stuff if you're, if you're honest with yourself, 461 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,000 there's a lot of things you don't want the world to see 462 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,800 about you. There's a lot of struggles. 463 00:25:43,300 --> 00:25:46,500 There's a some sin because we all sin, we all fall short. 464 00:25:46,500 --> 00:25:49,000 We all have these. These things that separate us 465 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:50,100 from God. And so, what do we do? 466 00:25:50,100 --> 00:25:52,700 When we wake up in the morning, we put on this costume. 467 00:25:52,700 --> 00:25:56,200 So when we go to work or we go into our schools or when we talk 468 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,600 with our family or friends, we don't want them to see who we 469 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:03,100 really are the Brokenness of who we are. 470 00:26:03,100 --> 00:26:07,600 And so we put on a costume.
