I think you should.

'Cause you can't be both.

That's like...

That's like, a paradox.

Well, that went well.

Don't worry about it.

She's tryin' to...

Night.

Night, Laura!

Night.

Are you really OK with this?

Um...

I will e-mail you the verses.

(HOCKEY COMMENTARY PLAYS ON TV)

Is everybody sleepin'?

Keri's at a movie.

- Oh, what movie?

- Somethin' stupid.

How was your day?

What?

How... was... your... day?

Oh...

(LAUGHS)

I'm gonna watch a movie

and go to sleep.

You can watch it in here,

I'm not watchin' this.

No.

You're not watchin'

it either, Brad.

I don't think you'd

like this one, Dad.

- No.

No.

Night.

Say your prayers.

Night, Brad.

Later.

(PLAYING PIANO, SINGING HYMN)

- Hello.

- Hello.

Welcome to the piano.

Play me a song.

Huh?

Play a song for me.

Play you a song... OK, here we go.

(PLAYS HYMN)

No...

Originate it.

I have to practice.

Originate me a song.

Well, I don't know, um...

(TINKERS WITH MELODY, CHORDS)

I'm not feeling it...

I'm sorry...

I'm sorry. I don't

know what to sing.

I gotta practice the

real stuff for church.

I'm sorry...

I'm sorry.

(DEEP SIGH)

Please, Lord, show Tim

that there's a way out...

Please just watch

over him tonight...

(CONTINUES PRAYING)

Please, just watch

over him tonight...

That's all I'm asking.

Please, please, please.

(GASPS)

I had a bad dream.

What?

I had a bad dream, Mama.

Oh, honey... honey...

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

- Mornin', ya'll.

- Mornin'.

- How are y'all doin'?

- Good.

Good.

So... I'm doing this

'trial period' thing,

and they wanted me to give

teaching the Youth Class a whirl.

So here we are.

My wife is stuck with the old people,

so this worked out pretty well for me.

(LAUGHS)

Would the preacher's daughter

like to open with prayer?

Sure.

Dear Heavenly Father:

We thank You for this day

and for all who gathered

here to worship You.

We ask that You teach

us something today

and work in our hearts so that

others might see You in us.

In Your name we pray, Amen.

Amen.

Let's go outside!

So, today's lesson, I've

called Nature as Love.

And what I kinda want

to talk about is...

Well, not just God's creation.

I'm sure you were kinda overloaded

with that stuff when you were kids.

But about God's creation...

everything that we see,

feel, smell, touch,

as, literally...

literally, like, the...

embodiment of God's love.

Right? It's the stuff...

It's the physical stuff

his love is made of.

And we live amidst it.

We live in it.

And I think that's awesome.

So as you...

Yeah, go for it, buddy.

Would that include people?

Would what include people?

Nature. I mean...

We're nature, right?

Yeah.

So are we a part...
