  Hey,

  Ralph,
• 0:38
  my
• 0:38
  files
• 0:38
  are
• 0:38
  a
• 0:39
  mess.
• 0:39
  Paper
• 0:39
  in
• 0:40
  digital.
• 0:40
  How
• 0:40
  do
• 0:41
  I
• 0:41
  get
• 0:41
  organized
• 0:42
  this
• 0:42
  season?
• 0:43
  Listen,
• 0:44
  if
• 0:44
  you've
• 0:44
  got
• 0:44
  stacks
• 0:45
  of
• 0:45
  papers,
• 0:45
  you
• 0:45
  got
• 0:46
  digital
• 0:46
  folders
• 0:46
  that
• 0:46
  make
• 0:47
  no
• 0:47
  sense,
• 0:47
  and
• 0:47
  every
• 0:47
  time
• 0:48
  you
• 0:48
  need
• 0:48
  a
• 0:48
  document,
• 0:48
  it's
• 0:49
  missing.
• 0:49
  I
• 0:50
  get
• 0:50
  it,
• 0:50
  man.
• 0:51
  Been
• 0:51
  there,
• 0:51
  done
• 0:51
  that.
• 0:52
  For
• 0:53
  so
• 0:53
  many
• 0:53
  of
• 0:53
  us,
• 0:53
  we
• 0:54
  feel
• 0:54
  behind,
• 0:54
  we
• 0:54
  feel
• 0:55
  embarrassed,
• 0:56
  and
• 0:56
  maybe
• 0:56
  we
• 0:56
  actually
• 0:57
  feel
• 0:57
  a
• 0:57
  little
• 0:57
  ashamed.
• 0:58
  But
• 0:59
  friend,
• 0:59
  I
• 0:59
  want
• 0:59
  to
• 0:59
  tell
• 0:59
  you
• 0:59
  something
• 1:00
  right
• 1:00
  now.
• 1:00
  Order
• 1:01
  isn't
• 1:01
  perfection.
• 1:02
  It's
• 1:02
  peace.
• 1:03
  That's
• 1:03
  what
• 1:03
  we're
• 1:03
  going
• 1:03
  to
• 1:03
  lean
• 1:03
  in
• 1:03
  today,
• 1:04
  Peace.
• 1:05
  Because
• 1:05
  that
• 1:05
  disorder,
• 1:06
  I've
• 1:07
  learned
• 1:07
  this
• 1:07
  firsthand.
• 1:08
  It
• 1:08
  drains
• 1:08
  energy.
• 1:09
  And
• 1:09
  a
• 1:10
  simple
• 1:10
  system
• 1:10
  can
• 1:11
  give
• 1:11
  you
• 1:11
  peace
• 1:12
  and
• 1:12
  save
• 1:12
  you
• 1:13
  time
• 1:13
  and
• 1:13
  save
• 1:13
  you
• 1:14
  money.
• 1:14
  And
• 1:15
  on
• 1:15
  the
• 1:15
  other
• 1:15
  side
• 1:15
  of
• 1:16
  that,
• 1:16
  God
• 1:16
  doesn't
• 1:17
  bless
• 1:17
  chaos.
• 1:18
  He
• 1:18
  builds
• 1:19
  it
• 1:19
  through
• 1:19
  clarity.
• 1:20
  So
• 1:20
  let's
• 1:20
  talk
• 1:20
  about
• 1:20
  finding
• 1:21
  some
• 1:21
  clarity
• 1:21
  on
• 1:22
  today's
• 1:22
  show.
• 1:44
  Welcome.
• 1:44
  Thank
• 1:44
  you
• 1:44
  for
• 1:45
  joining
• 1:45
  me
• 1:45
  today.
• 1:45
  I'm
• 1:45
  Ralph.
• 1:46
  This
• 1:46
  is
• 1:46
  the
• 1:46
  Financially
• 1:47
  Confident
• 1:47
  Christian.
• 1:47
  It's
• 1:47
  a
• 1:48
  daily
• 1:48
  show
• 1:48
  helping
• 1:49
  you
• 1:49
  break
• 1:49
  the
• 1:49
  cycle
• 1:50
  of
• 1:50
  financial
• 1:50
  shame
• 1:51
  and
• 1:51
  do
• 1:51
  it
• 1:51
  with
• 1:52
  confidence.
• 1:53
  And
• 1:53
  I've
• 1:53
  worked
• 1:53
  with
• 1:53
  individuals,
• 1:54
  I
• 1:54
  work
• 1:54
  with
• 1:55
  businesses
• 1:55
  that
• 1:56
  help
• 1:56
  them
• 1:56
  create
• 1:56
  systems
• 1:57
  that
• 1:57
  actually
• 1:57
  work.
• 1:58
  And
• 1:58
  I've
• 1:59
  learned
• 1:59
  that
• 1:59
  organization
• 2:00
  isn't
• 2:00
  busy
• 2:00
  work.
• 2:01
  It's
• 2:01
  biblical
• 2:02
  stewardship.
• 2:03
  And
• 2:03
  when
• 2:03
  you
• 2:03
  have
• 2:04
  things
• 2:04
  in
• 2:04
  order,
• 2:04
  guess
• 2:04
  what,
• 2:05
  it
• 2:05
  pays
• 2:05
  dividends.
• 2:06
  It
• 2:06
  pays
• 2:06
  dividends
• 2:07
  in
• 2:07
  time.
• 2:07
  It
• 2:08
  pays
• 2:08
  dividends
• 2:08
  in
• 2:09
  money.
• 2:09
  And
• 2:09
  guess
• 2:09
  what?
• 2:10
  It
• 2:10
  pays
• 2:10
  dividends
• 2:11
  in
• 2:11
  peace.
• 2:12
  I
• 2:13
  never
• 2:13
  forget
• 2:13
  I
• 2:13
  was
• 2:13
  working
• 2:13
  with
• 2:14
  a
• 2:14
  couple
• 2:14
  who
• 2:14
  was
• 2:14
  overwhelmed
• 2:15
  by
• 2:15
  clutter.
• 2:16
  I'm
• 2:16
  talking
• 2:16
  about
• 2:16
  mess.
• 2:18
  When
• 2:18
  I
• 2:18
  saw
• 2:18
  their
• 2:18
  car,
• 2:19
  I
• 2:19
  should
• 2:19
  have
• 2:20
  known
• 2:20
  right
• 2:20
  away,
• 2:20
  man,
• 2:20
  their
• 2:20
  car
• 2:21
  was
• 2:21
  full
• 2:21
  of
• 2:21
  mess.
• 2:22
  They
• 2:22
  had
• 2:22
  paper
• 2:23
  everywhere.
• 2:23
  They
• 2:24
  had
• 2:24
  digital
• 2:24
  files.
• 2:24
  I
• 2:24
  mean,
• 2:25
  talking
• 2:25
  about
• 2:25
  a
• 2:25
  mess.
• 2:27
  They
• 2:27
  came
• 2:27
  in
• 2:27
  to
• 2:28
  get
• 2:28
  their
• 2:28
  taxes
• 2:28
  done.
• 2:28
  I
• 2:29
  said,
• 2:29
  they
• 2:29
  brought
• 2:29
  in
• 2:29
  some
• 2:29
  of
• 2:29
  that
• 2:29
  mess
• 2:30
  with
• 2:30
  them.
• 2:30
  I
• 2:30
  was
• 2:30
  like,
• 2:30
  this
• 2:30
  is
• 2:31
  a
• 2:31
  disaster.
• 2:32
  And
• 2:32
  what
• 2:32
  I
• 2:32
  did
• 2:33
  for
• 2:33
  them,
• 2:33
  I
• 2:33
  said,
• 2:33
  I'm
• 2:33
  going
• 2:33
  to
• 2:33
  teach
• 2:34
  you
• 2:34
  the
• 2:34
  three
• 2:34
  bin
• 2:35
  method.
• 2:35
  I'm
• 2:35
  going
• 2:35
  to
• 2:35
  share
• 2:35
  with
• 2:35
  you
• 2:36
  that
• 2:36
  today
• 2:36
  on
• 2:36
  the
• 2:36
  show
• 2:37
  we
• 2:37
  made
• 2:38
  three
• 2:38
  bins.
• 2:39
  If
• 2:39
  you
• 2:39
  feel
• 2:39
  like,
• 2:40
  let
• 2:40
  me
• 2:40
  give
• 2:40
  you
• 2:40
  an
• 2:40
  example.
• 2:40
  If
• 2:41
  you
• 2:41
  go
• 2:41
  into
• 2:41
  your
• 2:41
  home
• 2:41
  office
• 2:42
  or
• 2:42
  you
• 2:42
  go
• 2:42
  into
• 2:42
  a
• 2:43
  room
• 2:43
  and
• 2:43
  you
• 2:43
  got
• 2:43
  this
• 2:44
  big
• 2:44
  stack
• 2:44
  of
• 2:44
  papers,
• 2:45
  a
• 2:45
  lot
• 2:45
  of
• 2:45
  people
• 2:45
  say
• 2:46
  their
• 2:46
  kitchen
• 2:46
  table
• 2:46
  looks
• 2:46
  like
• 2:47
  this.
• 2:47
  I'm
• 2:47
  going
• 2:47
  to
• 2:48
  encourage
• 2:48
  you
• 2:48
  today.
• 2:49
  Three
• 2:49
  bins
• 2:50
  scan,
• 2:51
  file
• 2:51
  and
• 2:51
  shred.
• 2:53
  And
• 2:53
  so
• 2:53
  you
• 2:53
  could
• 2:53
  do
• 2:54
  the
• 2:54
  same
• 2:54
  thing
• 2:54
  digitally
• 2:55
  or
• 2:55
  paper
• 2:55
  wise,
• 2:58
  they
• 2:58
  did
• 2:58
  that.
• 2:59
  And
• 2:59
  in
• 2:59
  one
• 3:00
  afternoon,
• 3:00
  it
• 3:00
  changed
• 3:01
  their
• 3:01
  whole
• 3:01
  year.
• 3:02
  And
• 3:02
  see,
• 3:03
  peace
• 3:03
  entered
• 3:03
  the
• 3:03
  room
• 3:04
  when
• 3:04
  order
• 3:04
  took
• 3:04
  its
• 3:05
  place.
• 3:06
  And
• 3:07
  think
• 3:07
  about
• 3:07
  how
• 3:07
  emotionally
• 3:08
  freeing
• 3:08
  that
• 3:08
  was.
• 3:09
  Just
• 3:09
  three
• 3:10
  simple
• 3:10
  bins.
• 3:11
  Let's
• 3:11
  get
• 3:11
  back
• 3:11
  to
• 3:12
  today's
• 3:12
  question.
• 3:12
  So
• 3:13
  how
• 3:13
  do
• 3:13
  you
• 3:13
  move
• 3:13
  From
• 3:13
  a
• 3:13
  pile
• 3:14
  of
• 3:14
  panic
• 3:14
  to
• 3:14
  a
• 3:15
  place
• 3:15
  of
• 3:15
  peace.
• 3:16
  And
• 3:16
  how
• 3:16
  do
• 3:16
  you
• 3:16
  keep
• 3:16
  it
• 3:17
  that
• 3:17
  way?
• 3:17
  Because
• 3:17
  that's
• 3:17
  the
• 3:17
  key
• 3:17
  to
• 3:18
  this.
• 3:18
  How
• 3:19
  do
• 3:19
  you
• 3:19
  keep
• 3:19
  it
• 3:19
  that
• 3:19
  way?
• 3:19
  Well,
• 3:20
  I've
• 3:20
  got
• 3:20
  some
• 3:20
  answers
• 3:20
  for
• 3:20
  you.
• 3:21
  Number
• 3:21
  one,
• 3:21
  start
• 3:22
  simple.
• 3:22
  Like
• 3:22
  I
• 3:22
  said,
• 3:22
  this
• 3:23
  three
• 3:23
  bin
• 3:23
  method
• 3:24
  is
• 3:24
  a
• 3:24
  great
• 3:24
  way
• 3:24
  to
• 3:24
  do
• 3:24
  it.
• 3:25
  I've
• 3:25
  worked
• 3:25
  with
• 3:25
  clients
• 3:25
  time
• 3:26
  and
• 3:26
  time
• 3:26
  again.
• 3:27
  It's.
• 3:27
  It
• 3:27
  works.
• 3:27
  I
• 3:28
  did
• 3:28
  this
• 3:28
  with
• 3:28
  my
• 3:28
  kids
• 3:28
  when
• 3:28
  the
• 3:29
  kids
• 3:29
  were
• 3:29
  younger,
• 3:30
  they
• 3:30
  had
• 3:30
  toys
• 3:31
  everywhere.
• 3:31
  I
• 3:32
  said
• 3:32
  at
• 3:32
  some
• 3:32
  point
• 3:33
  they
• 3:33
  got
• 3:33
  too
• 3:33
  many
• 3:33
  toys.
• 3:34
  I
• 3:34
  said,
• 3:34
  we
• 3:34
  got
• 3:35
  to
• 3:35
  figure
• 3:35
  out
• 3:35
  something
• 3:35
  here.
• 3:35
  So
• 3:36
  we
• 3:36
  set
• 3:36
  up
• 3:36
  three
• 3:36
  bins.
• 3:36
  Well,
• 3:37
  you
• 3:37
  could
• 3:37
  do
• 3:37
  the
• 3:37
  same
• 3:37
  thing
• 3:37
  with
• 3:38
  your
• 3:38
  personal
• 3:39
  finances
• 3:40
  because
• 3:40
  sorting
• 3:40
  creates
• 3:41
  space
• 3:41
  to
• 3:41
  breathe.
• 3:42
  You
• 3:42
  don't
• 3:42
  need
• 3:42
  perfection,
• 3:43
  you
• 3:43
  just
• 3:43
  need
• 3:43
  progress.
• 3:44
  Just
• 3:44
  three
• 3:44
  bins.
• 3:45
  Scan,
• 3:45
  file
• 3:46
  and
• 3:46
  shred.
• 3:47
  And
• 3:48
  here's
• 3:48
  the
• 3:48
  secret
• 3:48
  sauce.
• 3:49
  Handle
• 3:50
  each
• 3:50
  piece
• 3:50
  of
• 3:50
  paper
• 3:51
  one
• 3:51
  time.
• 3:52
  Because
• 3:52
  a
• 3:52
  lot
• 3:52
  of
• 3:52
  people
• 3:52
  say,
• 3:52
  well,
• 3:52
  I'm
• 3:53
  not
• 3:53
  sure
• 3:53
  I'm
• 3:53
  going
• 3:53
  to.
• 3:53
  Let
• 3:53
  me
• 3:53
  go.
• 3:53
  This
• 3:53
  one
• 3:54
  I'm
• 3:54
  going
• 3:54
  to
• 3:54
  do.
• 3:54
  I
• 3:54
  don't
• 3:54
  know
• 3:54
  what
• 3:54
  I'm
• 3:54
  going
• 3:54
  to
• 3:54
  do
• 3:54
  with
• 3:54
  this
• 3:55
  one.
• 3:55
  Don't
• 3:55
  just
• 3:56
  reshuffle
• 3:56
  them.
• 3:56
  I've
• 3:57
  seen
• 3:57
  people
• 3:57
  sit
• 3:57
  at
• 3:57
  their
• 3:58
  table
• 3:58
  and
• 3:58
  they
• 3:58
  shovel
• 3:59
  papers
• 3:59
  on
• 3:59
  one
• 3:59
  side
• 3:59
  to
• 4:00
  the
• 4:00
  other.
• 4:00
  No,
• 4:00
  no,
• 4:00
  no.
• 4:01
  Three
• 4:01
  bins.
• 4:01
  Pick
• 4:02
  one.
• 4:03
  Scan,
• 4:03
  file
• 4:04
  or
• 4:04
  shred.
• 4:05
  Because
• 4:06
  order
• 4:06
  begins
• 4:06
  the
• 4:06
  moment
• 4:07
  you
• 4:07
  decide
• 4:07
  to
• 4:07
  stop
• 4:07
  ignoring
• 4:08
  that
• 4:08
  pile.
• 4:08
  If
• 4:08
  you
• 4:08
  keep
• 4:09
  on
• 4:09
  ignoring
• 4:09
  it,
• 4:09
  it's
• 4:09
  not
• 4:09
  going
• 4:10
  to
• 4:10
  go
• 4:10
  away.
• 4:10
  Second
• 4:10
  thing,
• 4:12
  I'm
• 4:12
  a
• 4:12
  big
• 4:12
  fan
• 4:13
  of
• 4:13
  digital
• 4:13
  discipline
• 4:16
  because
• 4:16
  what's
• 4:16
  digital
• 4:17
  still
• 4:17
  needs
• 4:17
  direction.
• 4:17
  A
• 4:17
  lot
• 4:17
  of
• 4:18
  people
• 4:18
  say,
• 4:18
  well,
• 4:18
  I'm
• 4:18
  going
• 4:18
  to
• 4:18
  scan
• 4:18
  it
• 4:18
  in.
• 4:19
  That's
• 4:19
  great.
• 4:20
  Scan
• 4:20
  one,
• 4:20
  scan
• 4:21
  two.
• 4:21
  That's
• 4:21
  not
• 4:21
  going
• 4:21
  to
• 4:21
  work.
• 4:22
  Name
• 4:22
  your
• 4:22
  files.
• 4:23
  Currently,
• 4:23
  again,
• 4:24
  we
• 4:24
  get
• 4:24
  into
• 4:24
  some
• 4:24
  details
• 4:25
  today.
• 4:25
  For
• 4:25
  example,
• 4:26
  one
• 4:26
  of
• 4:26
  the
• 4:26
  big
• 4:26
  things
• 4:27
  I
• 4:27
  recommend
• 4:28
  is
• 4:28
  putting
• 4:28
  a
• 4:29
  naming
• 4:29
  convention.
• 4:29
  I
• 4:30
  like
• 4:30
  this
• 4:30
  one.
• 4:30
  Let's
• 4:30
  say
• 4:30
  you've
• 4:30
  got
• 4:31
  a
• 4:31
  gas
• 4:31
  invoice
• 4:31
  for
• 4:32
  your
• 4:32
  bill
• 4:32
  that
• 4:32
  you
• 4:32
  got
• 4:32
  from
• 4:33
  the
• 4:33
  gas
• 4:33
  company.
• 4:34
  Here's
• 4:34
  a
• 4:34
  simple
• 4:34
  way
• 4:34
  to
• 4:35
  do
• 4:35
  it.
• 4:35
  Instead
• 4:35
  of
• 4:35
  scan
• 4:35
  1,
• 4:36
  2,
• 4:36
  3,
• 4:36
  you're
• 4:36
  not
• 4:36
  going
• 4:36
  to
• 4:36
  know
• 4:37
  what
• 4:37
  that
• 4:37
  is.
• 4:37
  Put
• 4:38
  in
• 4:38
  the
• 4:38
  date.
• 4:38
  Put
• 4:38
  2025-12.
• 4:40
  That
• 4:40
  means
• 4:40
  it's
• 4:41
  2025
• 4:42
  December.
• 4:43
  Gas
• 4:43
  invoice.
• 4:45
  Then
• 4:45
  you
• 4:46
  can
• 4:46
  go
• 4:46
  find
• 4:46
  it
• 4:47
  and
• 4:47
  then
• 4:48
  create
• 4:48
  folders
• 4:48
  that
• 4:48
  mirror
• 4:49
  your
• 4:49
  papers.
• 4:49
  And
• 4:49
  a
• 4:49
  lot
• 4:49
  of
• 4:50
  people
• 4:50
  are
• 4:50
  saying,
• 4:50
  ralph,
• 4:50
  I
• 4:51
  got
• 4:51
  these
• 4:51
  great
• 4:51
  paper
• 4:51
  folders,
• 4:52
  but
• 4:52
  how
• 4:52
  do
• 4:52
  I
• 4:52
  do
• 4:52
  that
• 4:53
  online?
• 4:53
  How
• 4:54
  do
• 4:54
  I
• 4:54
  do
• 4:54
  that
• 4:54
  digitally?
• 4:55
  Same
• 4:55
  thing.
• 4:55
  Maybe
• 4:56
  you
• 4:56
  set
• 4:56
  up
• 4:56
  a
• 4:56
  folder
• 4:57
  called
• 4:57
  bills.
• 4:57
  Maybe
• 4:58
  you
• 4:58
  set
• 4:58
  up
• 4:58
  a
• 4:58
  folder
• 4:58
  called
• 4:59
  taxes
• 4:59
  or
• 4:59
  one
• 4:59
  called
• 5:00
  important.
• 5:01
  But
• 5:01
  here,
• 5:01
  while
• 5:01
  you're
• 5:01
  doing
• 5:01
  that,
• 5:02
  a
• 5:02
  little
• 5:02
  bit
• 5:02
  caveat
• 5:03
  here.
• 5:03
  Back
• 5:03
  it
• 5:04
  up.
• 5:04
  People
• 5:04
  say,
• 5:04
  I
• 5:05
  got
• 5:05
  all
• 5:05
  this
• 5:05
  stuff
• 5:05
  on
• 5:05
  the
• 5:05
  cloud,
• 5:06
  Ralph.
• 5:06
  But
• 5:06
  what
• 5:06
  do
• 5:06
  I
• 5:06
  do?
• 5:07
  Back
• 5:07
  it
• 5:07
  up.
• 5:07
  Put
• 5:07
  an
• 5:08
  external
• 5:08
  drive
• 5:09
  because
• 5:09
  a
• 5:09
  backup
• 5:10
  is
• 5:10
  love
• 5:10
  for
• 5:10
  your
• 5:11
  future
• 5:11
  self.
• 5:12
  But
• 5:12
  think
• 5:12
  about
• 5:12
  a
• 5:13
  digital
• 5:13
  plan
• 5:14
  and
• 5:14
  then
• 5:14
  build
• 5:15
  a
• 5:15
  central
• 5:15
  hub
• 5:16
  because
• 5:16
  peace
• 5:16
  lives,
• 5:17
  where
• 5:17
  everything
• 5:17
  has
• 5:17
  a
• 5:18
  place.
• 5:19
  You
• 5:19
  can
• 5:19
  use
• 5:19
  a
• 5:19
  binder,
• 5:20
  you
• 5:20
  can
• 5:20
  use
• 5:20
  a
• 5:21
  shared
• 5:21
  drive.
• 5:21
  Just
• 5:21
  one
• 5:22
  place
• 5:22
  everybody
• 5:22
  knows.
• 5:23
  Because
• 5:23
  a
• 5:23
  lot
• 5:23
  of
• 5:23
  times
• 5:23
  people
• 5:24
  scatter
• 5:24
  their
• 5:24
  systems.
• 5:25
  I
• 5:25
  got
• 5:25
  this
• 5:26
  system
• 5:26
  for
• 5:26
  that
• 5:26
  and
• 5:26
  this
• 5:26
  system
• 5:27
  for
• 5:27
  that
• 5:27
  being
• 5:27
  in
• 5:27
  accounting,
• 5:28
  right?
• 5:28
  We
• 5:29
  use
• 5:29
  a
• 5:29
  product
• 5:30
  called
• 5:30
  Smart
• 5:30
  Vault.
• 5:31
  It's
• 5:31
  like
• 5:31
  a
• 5:31
  digital
• 5:32
  filing
• 5:32
  cabinet.
• 5:33
  When
• 5:33
  a
• 5:33
  client
• 5:33
  calls
• 5:33
  me,
• 5:34
  I
• 5:34
  know
• 5:34
  where
• 5:34
  to
• 5:34
  go
• 5:35
  for
• 5:35
  that.
• 5:35
  You
• 5:35
  can
• 5:35
  do
• 5:36
  the
• 5:36
  same
• 5:36
  thing
• 5:36
  with
• 5:36
  your
• 5:36
  personal
• 5:37
  finances.
• 5:38
  Oh,
• 5:38
  this
• 5:38
  is
• 5:39
  this.
• 5:39
  Okay,
• 5:39
  this
• 5:39
  goes
• 5:39
  in
• 5:39
  this
• 5:40
  folder.
• 5:40
  It
• 5:40
  goes
• 5:40
  in
• 5:41
  this
• 5:41
  month,
• 5:41
  it
• 5:41
  goes
• 5:41
  in
• 5:41
  this
• 5:42
  year.
• 5:42
  But
• 5:43
  do
• 5:43
  that
• 5:43
  central
• 5:43
  hub,
• 5:44
  because
• 5:44
  if
• 5:44
  not,
• 5:44
  you
• 5:44
  could
• 5:45
  have
• 5:45
  a
• 5:45
  great
• 5:45
  digital
• 5:46
  products.
• 5:47
  But
• 5:47
  if
• 5:47
  you
• 5:47
  don't
• 5:47
  have
• 5:47
  a
• 5:47
  central
• 5:48
  hub,
• 5:48
  you're
• 5:49
  going
• 5:49
  to
• 5:49
  have
• 5:49
  chaos.
• 5:50
  But
• 5:50
  a
• 5:50
  central
• 5:51
  hub
• 5:51
  turns
• 5:51
  chaos
• 5:51
  into
• 5:52
  clarity.
• 5:52
  And
• 5:53
  when
• 5:53
  everything
• 5:53
  has,
• 5:53
  my
• 5:54
  wife
• 5:54
  is
• 5:54
  great
• 5:54
  about
• 5:54
  this,
• 5:54
  she
• 5:55
  goes,
• 5:55
  Ralph,
• 5:55
  everything
• 5:55
  has
• 5:56
  its
• 5:56
  place.
• 5:57
  Well,
• 5:57
  your
• 5:57
  digital
• 5:58
  files,
• 5:58
  your
• 5:58
  paper
• 5:58
  file
• 5:59
  should
• 5:59
  see
• 5:59
  the
• 5:59
  same
• 5:59
  way.
• 6:00
  When
• 6:00
  everything
• 6:01
  has
• 6:01
  a
• 6:01
  home,
• 6:02
  your
• 6:02
  mind
• 6:02
  rests
• 6:03
  easier.
• 6:04
  Another
• 6:05
  big
• 6:05
  takeaway.
• 6:05
  You
• 6:06
  got
• 6:06
  to
• 6:06
  maintain
• 6:06
  this
• 6:07
  because
• 6:07
  it's
• 6:08
  so
• 6:08
  easy
• 6:08
  to
• 6:08
  make
• 6:08
  that
• 6:08
  big.
• 6:09
  Let's
• 6:09
  say
• 6:09
  you
• 6:09
  do
• 6:09
  that
• 6:09
  three
• 6:10
  bin
• 6:10
  thing.
• 6:10
  You
• 6:10
  go
• 6:10
  into
• 6:10
  your
• 6:11
  kitchen.
• 6:11
  You
• 6:11
  got
• 6:11
  this
• 6:11
  big
• 6:11
  old
• 6:12
  kitchen
• 6:12
  table.
• 6:13
  I
• 6:13
  remember
• 6:13
  when
• 6:13
  I
• 6:13
  first
• 6:14
  met
• 6:14
  my
• 6:14
  in
• 6:14
  laws,
• 6:14
  I
• 6:15
  went
• 6:15
  over
• 6:15
  to
• 6:15
  my
• 6:15
  wife's
• 6:16
  house
• 6:17
  and
• 6:17
  their
• 6:17
  kitchen
• 6:17
  table,
• 6:17
  like
• 6:18
  we
• 6:18
  wanted
• 6:18
  to
• 6:18
  sit
• 6:18
  down
• 6:18
  and
• 6:19
  eat.
• 6:19
  They
• 6:19
  had
• 6:19
  to
• 6:19
  take
• 6:20
  like
• 6:20
  10
• 6:20
  minutes
• 6:20
  to
• 6:20
  move
• 6:20
  all
• 6:21
  the
• 6:21
  stuff
• 6:21
  off
• 6:21
  the
• 6:21
  table
• 6:21
  so
• 6:21
  they
• 6:21
  could
• 6:22
  do
• 6:22
  something.
• 6:22
  They
• 6:22
  got
• 6:22
  all
• 6:22
  these
• 6:22
  piles.
• 6:23
  And
• 6:24
  I
• 6:24
  said
• 6:24
  to
• 6:24
  our
• 6:24
  father,
• 6:24
  I
• 6:24
  said,
• 6:25
  hey,
• 6:25
  I
• 6:25
  got
• 6:25
  a
• 6:25
  great
• 6:25
  idea
• 6:25
  for
• 6:26
  you.
• 6:26
  How
• 6:26
  about
• 6:26
  we
• 6:26
  go
• 6:27
  buy
• 6:27
  some
• 6:27
  bins?
• 6:27
  He's
• 6:27
  like,
• 6:27
  dude,
• 6:27
  I
• 6:28
  haven't
• 6:28
  looked
• 6:28
  at
• 6:28
  this
• 6:28
  stuff
• 6:28
  in
• 6:28
  months.
• 6:30
  And
• 6:30
  we
• 6:30
  did
• 6:30
  it.
• 6:30
  We
• 6:30
  sat
• 6:31
  down
• 6:31
  together,
• 6:31
  I
• 6:31
  helped
• 6:31
  him.
• 6:32
  Well,
• 6:32
  then
• 6:32
  six
• 6:33
  months
• 6:33
  later,
• 6:33
  guess
• 6:33
  what
• 6:33
  happened?
• 6:34
  The
• 6:34
  piles
• 6:35
  are
• 6:35
  back.
• 6:36
  You
• 6:36
  gotta
• 6:37
  maintain
• 6:37
  this
• 6:37
  habit.
• 6:38
  Maybe
• 6:38
  every
• 6:39
  week
• 6:39
  you
• 6:39
  say,
• 6:39
  I'm
• 6:39
  gonna
• 6:39
  do
• 6:39
  my
• 6:40
  paper
• 6:40
  hour.
• 6:41
  I'm
• 6:41
  gonna
• 6:41
  do
• 6:41
  this
• 6:41
  small
• 6:42
  maintenance
• 6:42
  keeps
• 6:43
  peace
• 6:43
  permanent.
• 6:43
  You
• 6:43
  wanna
• 6:44
  keep
• 6:44
  this
• 6:44
  permanent
• 6:44
  because
• 6:44
  a
• 6:45
  lot
• 6:45
  of
• 6:45
  people
• 6:45
  say,
• 6:45
  well,
• 6:45
  I'm
• 6:45
  gonna
• 6:45
  get
• 6:46
  organized.
• 6:46
  That's
• 6:46
  not
• 6:46
  an
• 6:47
  event,
• 6:47
  it's
• 6:47
  a
• 6:47
  rhythm.
• 6:49
  Because
• 6:49
  clutter
• 6:49
  grows
• 6:50
  quietly,
• 6:50
  so
• 6:51
  so
• 6:51
  should
• 6:51
  your
• 6:51
  discipline.
• 6:52
  Let's
• 6:52
  get
• 6:52
  right
• 6:52
  into
• 6:52
  the
• 6:53
  Bible
• 6:53
  today.
• 6:54
  First
• 6:54
  Corinthians,
• 6:55
  chapter
• 6:55
  14,
• 6:55
  verse
• 6:56
  33.
• 6:58
  God
• 6:58
  is
• 6:58
  not
• 6:58
  a
• 6:59
  God
• 6:59
  of
• 6:59
  disorder,
• 6:59
  but
• 7:00
  of
• 7:00
  peace.
• 7:01
  Now
• 7:01
  you
• 7:01
  be
• 7:01
  Ralph.
• 7:02
  You
• 7:02
  dug
• 7:02
  deep
• 7:02
  for
• 7:02
  that
• 7:03
  one.
• 7:04
  But
• 7:04
  it's
• 7:04
  so
• 7:05
  true.
• 7:06
  What
• 7:07
  is
• 7:07
  it
• 7:07
  saying
• 7:07
  to
• 7:07
  us?
• 7:09
  In
• 7:10
  order
• 7:11
  comes
• 7:11
  peace.
• 7:12
  And
• 7:12
  if
• 7:13
  we're
• 7:13
  in
• 7:13
  disorder.
• 7:13
  Guess
• 7:14
  what?
• 7:14
  We
• 7:14
  don't
• 7:14
  have
• 7:14
  any
• 7:14
  peace.
• 7:16
  And
• 7:16
  a
• 7:16
  lot
• 7:16
  of
• 7:16
  people
• 7:16
  say,
• 7:16
  well,
• 7:16
  order.
• 7:17
  You
• 7:17
  just
• 7:17
  trying
• 7:17
  to
• 7:17
  control
• 7:18
  everything.
• 7:18
  No,
• 7:18
  it's
• 7:18
  about
• 7:19
  creating
• 7:19
  space
• 7:20
  for
• 7:20
  peace.
• 7:20
  You
• 7:20
  want
• 7:20
  to
• 7:21
  live
• 7:21
  in
• 7:21
  peace?
• 7:22
  Get
• 7:22
  your
• 7:22
  stuff
• 7:23
  in
• 7:23
  order.
• 7:23
  How
• 7:24
  about
• 7:24
  we
• 7:24
  pray
• 7:24
  together?
• 7:25
  Lord,
• 7:25
  we
• 7:26
  come
• 7:26
  to
• 7:26
  you
• 7:26
  right
• 7:26
  now,
• 7:26
  and
• 7:26
  we
• 7:27
  do
• 7:27
  feel
• 7:27
  this
• 7:27
  clutter
• 7:28
  around
• 7:28
  us,
• 7:28
  so
• 7:28
  we
• 7:28
  feel
• 7:28
  like
• 7:29
  we
• 7:29
  got
• 7:29
  no
• 7:29
  organization.
• 7:31
  Help
• 7:31
  us
• 7:31
  to
• 7:31
  replace
• 7:32
  that
• 7:32
  cutter
• 7:32
  with
• 7:33
  calm,
• 7:33
  Lord.
• 7:33
  Help
• 7:34
  us
• 7:34
  to
• 7:34
  break
• 7:34
  that
• 7:35
  chaos.
• 7:36
  Give
• 7:36
  me
• 7:36
  discipline
• 7:37
  to
• 7:37
  maintain
• 7:37
  what
• 7:38
  you
• 7:38
  bless
• 7:38
  every
• 7:38
  day.
• 7:39
  Lord,
• 7:39
  grant
• 7:39
  me
• 7:40
  gratitude
• 7:40
  for
• 7:40
  order
• 7:41
  because
• 7:41
  we
• 7:41
  know
• 7:41
  it
• 7:41
  reflects
• 7:42
  your
• 7:42
  nature.
• 7:43
  And,
• 7:43
  Lord,
• 7:44
  help
• 7:44
  me
• 7:44
  to
• 7:44
  see
• 7:44
  organization
• 7:45
  as
• 7:45
  worship.
• 7:46
  Yes,
• 7:46
  it's
• 7:46
  worship,
• 7:47
  not
• 7:48
  just
• 7:48
  work.
• 7:49
  Help
• 7:49
  us
• 7:49
  to
• 7:49
  sustain
• 7:50
  that,
• 7:50
  Lord.
• 7:50
  Help
• 7:50
  us
• 7:50
  to
• 7:51
  be
• 7:51
  mindful
• 7:51
  of
• 7:51
  that.
• 7:52
  Help
• 7:52
  us
• 7:52
  to
• 7:52
  make
• 7:52
  those
• 7:53
  micro
• 7:53
  choices
• 7:54
  to
• 7:54
  keep
• 7:54
  doing
• 7:54
  that.
• 7:54
  And
• 7:54
  we
• 7:55
  ask
• 7:55
  this
• 7:55
  in
• 7:55
  the
• 7:55
  name
• 7:55
  of
• 7:55
  Jesus.
• 7:56
  Amen.
• 7:57
  All
• 7:57
  right,
• 7:57
  here's
• 7:58
  what
• 7:58
  I
• 7:58
  want
• 7:58
  you
• 7:58
  to
• 7:58
  do.
• 7:58
  One
• 7:59
  action
• 7:59
  item
• 7:59
  for
• 7:59
  today.
• 8:00
  I
• 8:00
  want
• 8:00
  you
• 8:00
  to
• 8:00
  take
• 8:00
  that
• 8:01
  timer
• 8:01
  we
• 8:01
  talked
• 8:01
  about
• 8:01
  on
• 8:01
  yesterday's
• 8:02
  show,
• 8:02
  set
• 8:03
  it
• 8:03
  for
• 8:03
  30
• 8:03
  minutes,
• 8:04
  just
• 8:04
  on
• 8:05
  one
• 8:05
  zone.
• 8:05
  I
• 8:06
  don't
• 8:06
  know
• 8:06
  what
• 8:06
  that
• 8:06
  is
• 8:06
  for
• 8:06
  you.
• 8:07
  Maybe
• 8:07
  it's
• 8:07
  your
• 8:07
  desk
• 8:07
  pile.
• 8:08
  I've
• 8:08
  got
• 8:09
  this
• 8:09
  big
• 8:09
  pile
• 8:09
  of
• 8:09
  papers.
• 8:10
  I
• 8:10
  gotta
• 8:10
  get
• 8:10
  through
• 8:11
  them.
• 8:11
  Ralph,
• 8:12
  30
• 8:12
  minutes.
• 8:12
  Or
• 8:13
  maybe
• 8:13
  that's
• 8:13
  that
• 8:13
  downloads
• 8:14
  folder.
• 8:14
  You
• 8:14
  got
• 8:14
  a
• 8:14
  great
• 8:15
  digital
• 8:15
  storage
• 8:16
  system,
• 8:16
  but
• 8:16
  it's
• 8:16
  all
• 8:16
  stuck
• 8:17
  in
• 8:17
  your
• 8:17
  downloads
• 8:18
  folder.
• 8:18
  You
• 8:19
  got
• 8:19
  to
• 8:19
  organize
• 8:19
  that.
• 8:20
  Or
• 8:20
  here's
• 8:20
  another
• 8:20
  one.
• 8:20
  A
• 8:21
  lot
• 8:21
  of
• 8:21
  people
• 8:21
  say
• 8:21
  I
• 8:22
  look
• 8:22
  at
• 8:22
  people's
• 8:22
  emails
• 8:22
  sometimes,
• 8:23
  and
• 8:23
  I
• 8:23
  go,
• 8:23
  oh,
• 8:23
  my
• 8:23
  God,
• 8:23
  if
• 8:23
  I
• 8:24
  had
• 8:24
  that
• 8:24
  many
• 8:24
  emails,
• 8:24
  I'd
• 8:24
  freak
• 8:25
  out.
• 8:25
  Maybe
• 8:26
  you
• 8:26
  need
• 8:26
  to
• 8:26
  organize
• 8:26
  your
• 8:26
  inbox.
• 8:28
  But
• 8:28
  just
• 8:28
  set
• 8:28
  a
• 8:28
  timer
• 8:29
  for
• 8:29
  30
• 8:29
  minutes,
• 8:29
  because
• 8:29
  30
• 8:30
  minutes
• 8:30
  of
• 8:31
  focus
• 8:31
  can
• 8:31
  reclaim
• 8:32
  a
• 8:32
  whole
• 8:32
  month
• 8:33
  of
• 8:33
  peace.
• 8:33
  So
• 8:33
  that's
• 8:34
  your
• 8:34
  action
• 8:34
  item
• 8:34
  for
• 8:34

  your
• 9:06

  You

  is
• 9:25
  a
• 9:25
  big
• 9:25
  takeaway
• 9:26
  for
• 9:26
  me.
• 9:26
  A
• 9:26
  clear
• 9:26
  desk
• 9:27
  equals
• 9:27
  a
• 9:27
  clear
• 9:27
  mind.
• 9:28
  Whether
• 9:28
  that's
• 9:28
  a
• 9:28
  desk,
• 9:28
  a
• 9:29
  kitchen
• 9:29
  table,
• 9:29
  whatever
• 9:30
  that
• 9:30
  looks
• 9:30
  like.
• 9:31
  Because
• 9:31
  order
• 9:32
  is
• 9:32
  worship
• 9:33
  in
• 9:33
  motion.
• 9:33
  So
• 9:33
  I'm
• 9:33
  going
• 9:33
  to
• 9:34
  encourage
• 9:34
  you
• 9:34
  today.
• 9:34
  Go
• 9:35
  get

  Be

• 9:37

• 9:37
  Christian.

  Stay

• 9:39
  confident.
• 9:39
  You

• 9:40
  do

  this.
• 9:40
  You
• 9:40
  can
• 9:41
  get
• 9:41
  through

  pile.
• 9:42
  Use
• 9:42
  my
• 9:42
  three
• 9:42
  bin
• 9:42
  method.
• 9:43
  If
• 9:43
  it
• 9:43
  works
• 9:43
  for
• 9:43
  you,
• 9:44
  God
