Brian, KJ7PWM, this is WP7MEX, are you on your microphone? All right, not hearing from Brian, KJ7PWM. All right, we are going to get started with the West Coast Bible Study.

It is time for us to do so. We are in Psalm 23 today, which is absolutely wonderful. Just a marvelous psalm.

We'll talk about that in a minute. But before we get started, we want to open our time in prayer. Kevin, KP7ZX, and if you could open in prayer for us, we'd sure appreciate that.

Go ahead there, Kevin. Thank you. Very good.

Let us bow our heads and close our eyes. Our most gracious Father, we humbly come before you with great thanks in our heart, Lord, that we can look into your word and study your word, especially such a wonderful, precious psalm as we're looking at today. part of continuing from Psalm 22 and just before Psalm 24.

Father, we thank you so very much for hearing our prayers. I ask for a blessing for each and every one listening in today. Lord, open our hearts of understanding and Lord, I'd ask that you would move in our lives according to thy will.

We thank you for hearing our prayers and answering so many, Lord. and so many others, Lord, that you have responded to favorably in their health and need. Father, we thank you, too, that for each and every one that is here, Lord, help us to grow in your word and grow in applying it in our lives.

In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. Alright, having to beat my computer back into submission.

All right, WB7MAX here. Kevin, thank you for that opening prayer. Really appreciate that a lot.

Okay, we're going through the book of Psalms together here on the West Coast Bible Study, and we are now in Psalm 23. The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. You know, it's really interesting.

the richness of the relationship between Christ and his people, and how that it takes lots of different metaphors to convey the depth and the degree of the relationship we have with Christ as Christians. And so it's interesting, the church is likened to a temple, and Christ is the chief cornerstone, The church is likened to a body and Christ is the head of the body. The church is likened to a priesthood and Christ is our great high priest.

The church is like a bride and Christ is the bridegroom. The church is likened to branches and Christ is the true vines. Amen.

And here in our passage, the church is likened to sheep, and Christ is the good shepherd. And so it's indicative of the richness of our relationship with Christ that no one metaphor can possibly convey all that Christ is to us. or all that he does for us.

So it's to this metaphor of the shepherd and the sheep that our passage directs our attention in what is probably the best known and best love of all of the Psalms, Psalm 23. Psalm 23 is the crown jewel of the book of Psalms. And it is the psalm more than any other that fills us with joy and comfort and peace and security and hope.

And so in this psalm we see the heart of Christ revealed to us, the heart that He has for His people, and here we also see the tremendous blessings that He has purchased for His people. So this psalm conveys to us a degree of comfort and confidence. that is incomparable as we contemplate the provision that Christ has made for us.

And so the first verse of this psalm kind of sets the theme for the rest of the psalm when it says, The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. And so in that opening phrase, we see that Jesus is a personal shepherd, He's my shepherd, and He's a providing shepherd I shall not want. And then we see that personal provision discussed in all the remaining verses.

So what a wonderful, wonderful psalm. It's one I'm sure most of us have memorized. And I, you know, when I have trouble sleeping, I just start quoting Psalm 23 to myself, and before I get to the end, I'm usually asleep.

So this is one of my favorite psalms of comfort, of peace, of assurance, of security, of hope. and of joy. So we have a great psalm before us today.

Really looking forward to hearing what all of you have to say about how the Lord has ministered to you through this psalm. All right. Let's see.

We need to have Jerry at KG6G read to us. Jerry, KG6G, if you could read to us Psalm 23, that would be great. Go ahead.

Thank you, Pastor Max. KG 6J, reading Psalm 23 from the New King James. The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.

He makes me to lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul.

He leads me in the path of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemy. The Lord is good at kicking the ends out of your casket, and you escape again. So anyway, what a wonderful psalm.

Everybody knows this one, and it's so good to see us get to this again. And I walk through the valley, darkest valley, and I will not be afraid, for you are close to me. And we all go into these deep valleys continually in life.

but always come back out, over. I absolutely love that metaphor, "The Lord kicks the ends out of our caskets and lets us out." Well, you've been there, Jeff. You've been on the brink of death several times, and down in that valley and down in that shadow, And yet, even in that, the Lord was with you.

He brought you out the other side. And, you know, when the day comes that he doesn't bring you back to this life, he just brings you back to eternal life, which is way better. So, yeah, the ends of the casket are always kicked out by the Lord, either by restoring us back to life here or bringing us into eternal life there.

What a phenomenal emotional comfort that is that the greatest fear we have which is death, is the one regarding which we have the greatest comfort, which is either restoration to this life or entering into eternal life. So what a phenomenal blessing to know that even in the worst of our circumstances, which is death, God is right there with us. The Lord Jesus is right there with us.

He said he would never leave us or forsake us. So, Jeff, thanks for sharing that. All right, other station that was there along with Jeff, please come down with your club money.

That was Alpha Alpha 5 Yankee. I keyed down because nobody was saying anything. Unfortunately, where I want to go is the very last verse.

But I'll hold off and let other people talk, and maybe somebody will cover it, and I won't have to say anything or... Maybe I'll say it at the end. Roger?

Oh, well, yeah, go ahead. Let's talk about the last verse. We don't got to do these in any special order.

I'd love to hear what you have to say. Go ahead. Well, you know, it's all comforting, everything that you read.

But the very last verse is the bottom line to all of it. "And his eye was well in the house of the Lord forever." What a promise. What a life.

altering, or maybe not altering, I can't put into words what I want to say other than, "You're saved." And that's the key right there. You're going to be with the Lord forever. Amen.

Amen, yeah. And dwelling in the house of the Lord forever is what it's all about. I mean, it's good in this life, right?

We lay down in the green pastures, we're by the still water, He leads us in the paths of righteousness. It's all good here and even in the valley of the shadow of death, as Jeff was saying. And then the best is yet to be after all the goodness we have in this life.

And that is that we dwell in the house of the Lord forever. And that's the grand promise of the gospel, isn't it, Beck? is that we would be with Him.

And, you know, you read passages like Revelation 7, verses 9 to 17. You read Revelation 21 and 22. We have these marvelous descriptions in the Bible of what it means to dwell with the Lord forever.

Right. I think we just read Psalm 16 a little bit ago. We're on Psalm 23 now.

It says, And thy presence is fullness of joy. At thy right hand there are pleasures forevermore. So, you know, we have such a wonderful Savior.

who not only gives us tons of mercy and grace in this life, as it says in the first part of that verse, goodness and mercy follow us all the days of our lives, and then we get to dwell in the house of the Lord forever. And that's what it's all about. That's where we're headed.

That's our home. AK-6 OK again. AK-6 OK, come back.

Yeah, isn't it interesting that in Psalm 22 we're looking at the death of Jesus? And then Psalm 23 right next door, we're reading this. What encouragement.

And you were right, I did go through death a couple times and I was actually pronounced dead. dead dead on the third round. And so I can assure everybody here, this is true stuff.

This isn't a beeper where this is real over. Yeah. Copy that.

That's for sure. So Yeah, praise the Lord, Jeff, for God's mercy to you and bringing you back and giving you an opportunity to have testimony. But yeah, thanks for making the connection between Psalm 22, when we see the death of Christ on the cross, to Psalm 23, as a result of that, we're able to dwell in the house of the Lord forever and have his presence.

So, you know, we have Jesus as our substitute dying for us, and then we have Jesus as our shepherd caring for us. and then in the next psalm 24 we're going to have jesus as our king ruling over us with that benevolent powerful rule uh that ensures um not only our protection in this life but also our interest into those everlasting gates of heaven all right jeff thank you for that all right other comments please come now Kevin, please go ahead. Yeah, KB7ZXN.

Well, and I'm glad you made that connection because this really is part of the flow from Psalm 22. through Psalm 24. And what a comforting and beautiful psalm it is.

And as we see, you know, starting out, the shepherd and all that it denotes for providing comfort safety and peace and comfort for us as our Savior. But I wanted to take a quick look at that part of verse 3 here, where the psalmist writes, and he restores my soul. And this, I think, is so important because this is, this is, Meshavek in the Hebrew, which means he restores the most inner part of us.

Not only our physical needs, not only our safety and provision in the temporal world, but the innermost being of us he restores in us it's the same expression used same word used and I think Psalm 19:7 but I think it really reflects in the principle of John where the Lord says you know I give you life and I give it give you life more abundantly you know this is something that only the of our Shepherd, of our Savior, can provide us far beyond the needs that we face physically and relationally in this world. But deep within us, the transformation that takes place there in restoring us. KB7, set example.

Yeah, amen. And, you know, when you look at these blessings, there's some external blessings. You know, you prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.

But as you said, the inward blessings are the most important. And that is the restoration of our soul. And, you know, when you look at Jesus restoring our souls, What you see there is him restoring us out of the kingdom of darkness and into the kingdom of light.

And you see him restoring us from spiritual death to spiritual life. And then, you know, as we walk through this world and we stumble on occasion and get ourselves in some sins, He restores our souls then when we confess our sins. He's faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

So, yeah, he restores our souls in so many ways. And, you know, if the inner man isn't right, Kevin, it doesn't matter what you have outwardly. But if the inner man's right, we could be content with the most basic of things outwardly.

But God is so good in that he pours. you know, phenomenal riches into our inner man, into our soul, in saving us from our sins and breaking the bondage of sin, giving us new nature, saving us from bondage to Satan, giving us peace, giving us joy, filling us with a felt sense of His love. and then restoring us when we stumble and giving us the hope of heaven, and then all the external blessings too.

So, Kevin, thanks for that. The chief blessing is the restoration of our souls, and everything else follows after that. All right, great comment, Kevin.

Thank you. If you have other comments, please come now. kg6j a kg6j jerry go ahead yeah you've actually kind of covered this but i want to drill down on the end of uh verse four uh and again it's kind of personal application for me your rod and your staff they comfort And this is, wow, walking through that valley of the shadow of death.

Those tools of the shepherd, they're used to both defend the flock from evil, but they're also used to conk some of us. They're chief in the flock that need correction. Why would he do that?

Because he loves me and he wants me. and he sees me out there in danger. And he's still working in my life, not because of what I'm doing, but inside of it, he wants me back.

That's all I had to add. Casey, just to get... Yeah, great comment there, Jerry.

The rod and the staff are for protection and correction. And so, you know, we need God to keep us between the lanes, you know, between the yellow line and the white line, so we don't go off in the ditch or go into oncoming traffic. And, you know, a lot of that correction isn't like, oh, you've been really bad, I'm correcting you.

It's like, oh, you're veering a little bit over here, let's get you back over there. And, you know, throughout life we face lots of decisions. Sometimes we lack wisdom.

Sometimes we lack an awareness of all the facts. And it's just good to know that somebody is, as it were, sitting in the other seat saying, "This is the way. Walk you in it." And that's a lot of what that correction is about.

It's formative, not punitive. And then, of course, he's always there to protect us from the evil one and his plans. You know, I think it was Jesus that said to Peter, Simon, Satan has desired to have you that he may grind you up like wheat.

But I prayed for you. Let your faith fail not. And when you're converted, strengthen your brethren.

And so the idea there is Jesus is aware of dangers we're not even aware of, right? He knows Satan's plans. We don't.

And Satan would blindside us, but Jesus is right there with us with that rod, fending off the evil one, fending off his people, his servants, his demons, all those things. And so, yes, his rod and his staff are there to protect us. and to correct and guide us, and what a blessing it is to have a shepherd who's always looking out for his sheep.

A great comment there, Jerry. All right, other comments, please come down. 87 ES.

87 ES, Eric, go ahead. Yeah, yeah, just as a conversation that's been kind of going back and forth, it's actually been a good conversation this morning, and I appreciate all the comments. One of the passages that kind of comes to my mind was John 5, 24, where Jesus says, Verily I say unto you, he that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me hath everlasting life, and shall not come and become to make condemnation, but is passed from death unto life.

And so I know we've been kind of centered around Psalm 24. excuse me, verse 4 and Psalm 23 here. But when I read that, to me, it kind of gives me that image of a sinner being saved and the Lord leading them from death unto life and so when i read that um i kind of get that imagery of somebody being saved and then as i was kind of going over this um psalm last night i was kind of here and been reading and i was reading this passion and i really like the way he put it he uh he said it's not the the valley of death.

It is the valley of the shadow of death. And then he-- a really, really neat comment I kind of got a chuckle out of is that the shadow of a dog cannot bite. and the sword, the shadowy sword cannot kill.

So we don't need to be afraid because the Lord is with us and guiding us on to that eternal life. Over. Yeah, well said.

Death is really a shadow. It's something that looks more fearsome than it really is because... As you said, we immediately come out into the light.

And, yeah, you go down in a valley, but you don't stay there. There's always resurrection. There's always restoration.

And what a blessing it is that, yes, the shadow can't hurt us. I like that. That's a great metaphor.

The shadow of a dog can't bite, and the shadow of a sword can't cut, and the shadow of death also cannot harm us. because Jesus is there with his resurrecting power and his eternal life that he provides us with. And, you know, it says here right after we go to the valley of the shadow of death, you prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.

And the idea there is that after we die, we have this wonderful provision that Christ makes for us. We're forever free from our enemies. We are forever provided for.

You see that in Revelation chapter 7. where it says that, you know, the lambs shall feed them and lead them by rivers of living water. And let's see, I think I can just read it here.

It says... Therefore they are before the throne of God and serve Him day and night in His temple. He that sits on the throne shall dwell among them.

Here it is: They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more, neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne shall feed them and lead them into fountains of living waters, and God shall wipe all tears from their eyes. So that's Revelation chapter 7, verses 15 to 17.

So, yeah, what wonderful provision God makes that really death is a shadow. It's not anything to be afraid of. It's just a doorway of entrance into heaven.

Eric, thank you for that comment. Do you want to add anything, Eric? Go ahead.

No, that's all I had, and I appreciate the comment back as well. And I just, when I kind of read that, like I said, it kind of echoes what I said. When I read that, it's And basically what Jeff said is that, you know, a lot of people just stop there.

But, hey, we've got to come out through the valley on the other side, and it is glorious light. So that's kind of, you know, I thought about that. That version of John kind of popped into my head.

So, anyway, that's all I have. Katie, that's you. Yeah, real good.

Well, you know, that's one reason why the Bible talks about death as being sleep. Yeah. Sleep is temporary.

You all slept last night, but it didn't last for any more than just a few hours, and there you were. Back to consciousness. And in the same way, death is something, as you say, we go down into, but we always come back up out of it.

And it's not a permanent state of affairs. All right. Other comments on Psalm 23?

Please come down to the call line. WB7VZL. Roger.

Please go ahead. Yeah. As I recall, The status of a shepherd is not very high.

I'm even thinking of David himself. He was... when Samuel came to anoint the next king of Israel, he wasn't even in the gathering.

He was out shepherding the sheep. and his status was, well, he's the youngest and he's out there with the sheep. Over.

Well, amen. And praise the Lord that David was a shepherd because that provided, of course, the understanding and the imagery for him to write this psalm. And of course, the son of David, who is the Lord Jesus, said of himself in John chapter 10, I am the good shepherd.

And the shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. You know, the hireling, he's going to flee, but the shepherd, he's right there. And he says, my sheep hear my voice and I know them and they follow me and I give unto them eternal life.

and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father which gave them to me is greater than all, and no man is able to pluck them out of the Father's hand. I and my Father are one in our purpose to care for the sheep and protect them.

So, yeah, we have David as a shepherd. We have David's son, the Lord Jesus. presenting himself as the good shepherd and so this metaphor is so rich and it's so comforting and it's so predictive of how the Lord Jesus cares for us and the personal provision the personal protection that he provides to us is just enormous.

Roger, thanks for that comment. All right, other comments, please come down. Follow up.

KB7, does that make sense? That's what I was leading up to, that here our Lord was willing to be identified as the shepherd with this status. It's just typical of our Lord's humility.

He is incredible, humblest of the humble. And I think of this identification in Hebrews chapter 13. And you know this passage, I know you know the Bible.

Verse 20, Now the God of peace So, anyway, what a blessing that is. I just got a comment here. Well, another station that was there with Jeff, doubling with Jeff, please come forward.

Whiskey, Whiskey, 7 Tango. Whiskey, Whiskey, 7 Tango. Go ahead there, Tom.

Yeah, I was back looking at Tom's.32 when he talked about making this the way down in, you know, the Air Base 6.3 pass. Well, I'm using the Amplify version, and one thing it points out is it's straight, It's in forecast mode And the tenderness is huge, yeah. And so the explanation now is something that's brand new.

It's not just something that's come happen. It's something that's brand new. Brand new.

Brand new. It's something that's just 15. Yeah, amen.

Well said. You know, the fact that he deals so tenderly with us, so kindly with us, and we have detailed evidence about what he went through for us. Here in Psalm 23, I believe that we are again given a view of the same event, but it's now not violence, it's shockingly peaceful in contrast.

It's instructed to watch the calmness as we follow our Savior as He walks through the shadow of death, and His head is anointed with oil, is resurrected. So, yeah, Mark is drawing a parallel between Psalm 22, but rather he's just a peaceful, loving shepherd who cares for his children and who provides for them and meets all of their emotional needs for comfort, for joy, and in deliverance from all of that violence that sin would bring into their life. And I think that really goes along.

with verse 3 there, Mark. He restores our soul and He leads us in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake. All right, we are out of time.

What a wonderful psalm. We could talk about this for a long time. I want to thank everyone for their comments.

So helpful and so encouraging. And you know, I just want to encourage everyone to memorize this psalm because in the memorization of a psalm, you really meditate on what it says and you I found endless comfort in this psalm, as I quoted to myself, in a thousand situations. And it gave me perspective and as Mark KG7PVT says, brings peace and comfort.

that oftentimes is all around it. All right, it is time for us to go to prayer. Al is going to close in prayer for us.

Are there any final prayer requests? Please come now. KJ7QQH, go ahead and close in prayer for us today, please.

Thank you, Pastor. We join everyone on the next message. We thank you today for another day in your presence.

He lost his wife a few months ago. And Thomas with us today. He's recovering from a major spinal surgery.

And he's confined to a wheelchair. And he's very in need of daily assistance. So we pray that he would, in addition to his recovery, we pray that you would lead a caretaker to him in the process.

of going through that recovery. Our brother, Mac Alpha Alpha 5A, who's very brisk, continues healing. The resolution of his double vision.

And also for Sandy, she continues to care for Mr. Mac. and for their neighbors, say, of Nancy, who needs healing from terminal cancer.

She also would need a salvation. For George, KJ, we pray for his healing of his shoulder, which he reports to be much better now, so pray to that. Also, we continue to lift up our pastor, Jeff Black, as a severe ulcerative colitis disease.

and pray for his healing through the medical treatment that he has received. With Tony Kale I-7 TRS, the healing of his mom broke. And for the healing of his father, Roger, from his colon cancer, and for the healing of his uncle Doug, the later lieutenant, had a severe head injury.

He had his first surgery. and who, even though he will lose his right eye, you know what, we pray that he continues to fall. But the fact that he has and the additional procedures to follow will be effective and bring him to recovery.

We pray for his ongoing treatment and that that would be effective as well. For Cody's niece, Zoe, who would be a salvation. We ask you for our team, WP7RJR.

Amen. This is KJN 722H. We come back to you, Pastor.

Thank you for that control. Amen. Amen, Al.

Thank you so much for that prayer. I really appreciate that so much. This is WB7MAX Net Control for the West Coast Bible Study.

I want to thank all the stations who checked in. as well as those who stood by to give us a clear operating frequency. We meet here seven days a week at 6 a.m.

in order to read the scriptures, understand their meaning and message and application to our lives, and then to pray for grace and mercy to be able to live out what we learn and also for God to meet the needs of those that are in our circle of fellowship. I'll be returning the frequency now to regular amateur use. This is WB7MX.

I'll be clear and standing by. KM5F. Will, KM5F, go ahead.

Yeah, could I just get a radio check? Can you hear me without the SDR? SDR?

Let's see. I was listening to you on the SDR. Go ahead, Will.

Chat at me. Yeah, I'm just trying to get a radio check to see if this amp is working properly. KM-5S.

Yeah, I'm really not able to hear you without the SDR. I mean, I hear your voice. I know it's you, but your words are indistinct.

So I'm having to pick you up on the SDR. Over. Okay.

Thank you, KM-5S. Well, you're louder here, though. KB7, is that it, Sam?

Well, thanks, Kevin. I'm just looking at the scope on the SDR, and it shows that I've got a pretty broad signal. A little bit of splatter, but not much.

Okay, I'm finding that... well i think it's making a difference just the band is pretty tough so it's hard to gauge it from that right now yeah looks like i've got 450 watts coming out of this thing so that's better than what we were looking at yesterday okay in five minutes Well done. And you'll get more comfortable tuning that as time goes on.

So, yeah, you got it figured out, I think. Well done. KB7, Zedekson.

KM573. Yeah, well, WB7MX here. You know, as the sun comes up, the band deteriorates, and at the end of the net, it's not nearly as good as it is at the beginning.

I was hearing you real well on my radio earlier in the net. It's just at this stage, things are starting to fall apart for the band. So don't be discouraged over the fact that I don't hear you real well right now because I was hearing you real well earlier in the net.

Go ahead there, Will. Yeah, yeah. you did something to cut out the splatter that you normally have so you've got a really clean signal now almost all day today i don't know what you did but it was a good thing can't apply that well good thank you for that yeah we fiddle and fiddle and try to do what we can but appreciate the signal report And yeah, you know, you came up on my radio just now, so I think it's the band.

It's not your radio. So I heard your voice real well just now. So go ahead there, Will.

Thanks, KM5F73. Knock knock. Knock knock, go ahead there.

Knock knock. Who's there? Banana.

Banana who? Knock knock. Who's there?

Banana. Banana who? Knock knock.

I guess I'm not getting it. Who's there? Orange.

Orange, you glad I didn't say banana? Orange who? Orange, you glad I didn't say banana?

Oh, yeah, okay. All right, I'm not very sharp on knock-knock jokes, Vex, but thank you for that. That's good.

Thank you. I'll file for 5 Yankee. 8K-6-0-6.

Jeff, AK6OK, go ahead. I thought that knock-knock, Jeff, was going to go off morning here. Max, so consider this.

This is what I just set up here. It's working really well. I've got my Maestro sitting next to my computer here.

I'm logged into the Rockland remote on my computer. On my Flex, I'm logged into Coeur d'Alene. You can use Coeur d'Alene receiver while talking on your radio there.

Or you can listen to Rockland, either one. And you can also translate on either one. If somebody can't hear you, you can jump over on the Maestro and talk on...

accordingly. Well, that sounds good, yeah. I would need one computer on Rockland, one computer on Coeur d'Alene, and then my regular radio here coming out of my shack.

That would be three radios to monitor. That would probably drive me a little crazy, over. No, you're making it too hard.

So what I'm saying is you--I would forget rockers. I'd use Coeur d'Alene. I'd put your maestro on Coeur d'Alene.

And now we're working on Coeur d'Alene. As soon as we get it finished, we'll set this up. just have the Coraline sitting there on your maestro.

If there's somebody you're trying to hear, like maybe Carol, you can just turn up your maestro and listen. And if she can't hear you, you can actually pick up the mic and you can talk from quarterly number. - So copy that, I get that.

Yeah, that would be simple. I could do that, you bet. So when the time comes you get quarter lane finished, give me those login credentials and I will do that.

And yes, that will give me the ability to hear the folks up by, the Canadian border, etc. So I like that. Thank you, Jeff, for that.

I think that's a good thing to do. Yeah, it works fantastic. It's going to be really, really easy to do, too.

So that way you can use that monster loop antenna up there for receiving for one. That's what I did this morning. I've been listening.

And I'm hearing some stations I can't hear from here, and I can't hear on Utah, but I can hear them on Coeur d'Alene. And, again, if they can't hear you very well, jump over to Coeur d'Alene and answer up and so forth. So something to consider.

And, yes, when we get it all 100 percent. We're having trouble with the loop right now. Peter's up there.

By the way, I need to get Peter a copy of your book. your book should I get those on Amazon can I buy those directly from you yeah I'll send him one for free is his address like yours that good I'll just box one up and send it to him today I don't know would you shoot to me I see Peter every couple of days but just if you would shoot them here that's great Yeah, okay. I'll just send them to you then.

That'll work out fine. Yeah, good job. All right.

Thank you for that. Yeah, I appreciate that. I'm looking forward to chatting with Peter more for sure.

He is a prince. Just love Peter. He loves the Lord big time.

And... So we'll talk more about that. But okay, sounds good.

Have a good day, everybody. All right, real good, Jeff. AK6, okay, good to talk to you.

And by the way, if anybody wants a copy of my book, which is a commentary on Revelation, just email me on QRZ and I will send you a set for free. So anyway, anyone else want to chat? So please come down to your call sign.

Yeah, Jeff, AK6OK, can you pick up Brian KJ7 PWM on Coeur d'Alene? Are you still on your radio? I am.

Go ahead, Brian. I do not hear him on Coeur d'Alene. Okay, so Brian, KJ7PWM, Jeff AK6OK says he did not hear you on Coeur d'Alene, so...

Apparently it's not picking you up. Go ahead there, Brian. Yeah, what's interesting, Brian, is I don't ever hear you on Utah.

I never hear you on Half Moon Bay. The only place I can hear you on is my radio. And I don't know why that is, but I pick you up here if I pick you up at all.

So I'm not sure what's going on. Over. Thank you.

Yeah, I'm not hearing you on Utah at all right now. And when I turn it on and try to listen to you, all I hear is static. So anyway, Brian, yep, hopefully we'll get you a better antenna fixed up up there.

And I think you'll be able to radiate out a lot better over-- Alright, WB7MAX here, standing by. Anybody want to chat, come with your call sign. Western with 186J.

Okay, I had a pile up there. Somebody said they picked up Brian in Montana. That station, please come forward.

Okay, that was Mark, KJ7PVT, and he says he picks up Brian, KJ7PWM, on the Montana SDR. And I know that Beck generally monitors that. Thank you for that.

I was able to pick up quite good there, Mark. Go ahead there, Mark. Yeah, copy that.

I can hear you way better now than I could earlier this morning. So, anyway, yeah, real good. I think Jerry, KG6J was in there.

Jerry, KG6J, come forward. Roger, roger. If you can hear me well enough, KG6J?

Yeah, I can hear you. Go ahead. Yeah, I had to...

I really wanted to jump in real quick and thank Jeff so much for those alternate translations. on verse 6 that instead of a follow, he chases he pursues us and that was kind of what I had experienced that he has come after me and caught me in the head out of love and said, I want you back at the clock. And it's made a way back as well as constantly in the head.

And out of luck. So I just wanted to add that. And on the band I was able to copy Will using S unit or two above my noise level, but the other two here most recently that you were talking with, I couldn't hear them at all.

So interesting band condition. Thanks so much for agreeing to this. I really enjoyed this completely with applications, big notes, and thanks so much.

Thank you for getting back to us. And again, thanks so much. - All right, real good there, Jerry.

Compio, well, that's why they call it the ARRL, the American Radio Relay League, because a lot of times, you know, we have to relay signals, and that's what it's all about. So appreciate that. Yeah, Jerry, In your spare time, look up a poem on the Internet.

It's called The Hound of Heaven. The Hound of Heaven. Just write that down, and then when you have time, go to Google and type in the poem The Hound of Heaven.

And read that poem. It was written a long time ago, but you're right. It's about God chasing down a guy who's running away from him.

and eventually subduing that guy and bringing him to faith in Jesus. It's an old hymn, but it's an old poem, pardon me, but I really, really enjoy it. So the Hound of Heaven.

All right, anybody else want to chat? Throw out your call line. Whiskey, Whiskey, 7.

All right, I think I heard a Whiskey 7, but boy, I'm not going to be able to pick that station up. Can anybody give me a relay on that call sign? Whiskey, Whiskey, 7 Tango.

Yeah, I think that's Whiskey, Whiskey, 7 Tango. I think that's Tom. Tom, is that you?

Roger, Roger? Roger, Roger. Okay, copy Roger, Roger.

Go ahead, Tom. I'll try to hear you. Okay.

If you want to send me something to my DMO, I'd be right here as well. Okay, can anybody give me a relay on what Tom said? He's down to my noise here.

TJ7PVT, go ahead. Alright, real good. Thank you, Tom.

I'll send you an email. and send you my phone number so you can text me. All right, Tom.

WW7T, you'll have an email here in a few minutes when I get off the air. Mark, KJ7PBT, thank you for that relay. Okay, any other comments?

Go ahead. Alright, Mark, KJ7PVT, I sent you an email about your mom, so if you could respond to that when you have time, that'd be great. All right, WB7MX, stand by, one last chance, anybody want to talk, go ahead.

All right, WB7MX, going to be clearing QRT, love all you guys, appreciate you being there, we will see you tomorrow, God willing, and... This is WB7MAX, I'll be clearing QRT.
