In today's episode:

• The Israelites prove their devotion to God and His laws by building an altar and keeping the feasts
• The temple foundation is laid for the 2nd temple
• God warns the people not to despise the small start
• The old men weep (probably not tears of joy) after they see the foundation
• Discouragement often comes when you are doing God's will
