I'm in the receiving line, man. 11 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 1: That's a good feeling. I thank God for waking me 12 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: up in the mornings, I really really do. I thank 13 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: God for the spirit that he wakes me up with 14 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: because I finally, but I finally figured it out. Such 15 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 1: a blessing that shouldn't be taken for granted. The fact 16 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,920 Speaker 1: that you are up today, the fact that you just 17 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: got off working, you driving home, the fact that you 18 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 1: got a job to come home from, the fact that 19 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 1: you got a job to wake up too. Whatever it is, 20 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 1: the fact that you can see, think here, smell, walk, talk, rhyme, reason, 21 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: whatever it is, it's a blessing Man. I was talking 22 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: to a partner mine Land last night, and an analogy 23 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: came to me last night of what my life has 24 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 1: been like. Just going over my story with a friend 25 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: of matter, all some of the things I had gone through, 26 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: and he never knew it because he said, man, you 27 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: never told me that we were just talking. One of 28 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 1: the things I remember, and it's kind of equated to 29 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: my life, was when I was a little boy and 30 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: she'd go to the store with my mom and she 31 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: would let me buy a jigsaw puzzle. Now, for those 32 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: of you, a jigsaw puzzle comes in a box that 33 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: are no instructions. It just comes in a box and 34 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: it's simple. You're gonna dump the pieces out in a 35 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: pile and you're gonna try to put the pieces together 36 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: until it looks like the picture that's on the cover 37 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: of the box. That's as simple as it is. Here 38 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: is the d H. I would select a jigsaw puzzle 39 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 1: based on the picture that I liked and if I 40 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: thought I could do it. Now, if the picture looked 41 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 1: too crazy, if it looked too intricate, I didn't want 42 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: that puzzle, you know. And the thing was, back in 43 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: the day you got a jigsaw puzzle. You had a 44 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: hundred piece puzzles. Four hundred piece puzzles, man, then they 45 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 1: say a thousand piece puzzle. You go, oh. So those 46 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: were a little difficult for me when I was a 47 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: little boy, so I didn't want that. As I got 48 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 1: a little bit older, I had more challenging puzzles, you know, 49 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: four fifty five hundred piece puzzles. But I always picked 50 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 1: a picture of something I liked. So it's very simple. 51 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 1: You get the jigsaw puzzle, you get it home, you 52 00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,919 Speaker 1: open it up, you dump it out on the table. 53 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,720 Speaker 1: You flipped all the pieces over so you can see them, 54 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: and then I would try to saw them based on 55 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: the colors on the box. If it was like a 56 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: black section, I'd take all the black pieces and slide 57 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 1: them over there. If it was some flowers, I try 58 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 1: to find all the pictures with little jigsaw pieces with 59 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 1: the little floor, and I separate them. And then I 60 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: started putting it together. And the way I started was 61 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: I try to build the border first, because I knew 62 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: all the straight edges had to be side by side 63 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 1: at one point. And it was funny, man, because it's 64 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 1: related to my life. I would start putting the pieces 65 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: together of the picture I saw that I liked, and 66 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: that would be my picture. A lot of people didn't 67 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: like Jig saw puzzles. As a matter of fact, none 68 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: of the boys on the street like Jig saw puzzles 69 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: but me, because they just didn't want to go through 70 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: the intricate details of figuring that out. Really go outside 71 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: and run or something like that. And so what happened was, 72 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: as I got older, I wanted more difficult than challenging puzzles, 73 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: but I wouldn't go too far. I wanted some nice 74 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 1: stuff to happen. I had a picture of what I 75 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: wanted for my life, but I didn't want to go 76 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: too far because it was so challenging and difficult. I 77 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,840 Speaker 1: couldn't see myself at all of that, and I didn't 78 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: have the time, the knowledge, the expertise to figuring all 79 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: the intricate detail. And I discovered something when I was 80 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: talking last night. That's what happens in life to a 81 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: lot of people. You get bogged down with the details 82 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: of coming up and trying to create the picture that 83 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: you want for yourself. You put it to the side. 84 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: You said all that puzzles are crazy. Next thing you know, 85 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,679 Speaker 1: you crumble it up and put it back in the box. 86 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 1: So you go halfway and you get stuck, and you 87 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: get to the part where it ain't a lot of 88 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,280 Speaker 1: different colors. It's all the same, and that's a little 89 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,160 Speaker 1: bit more challenge. So that may stop you. But it's 90 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,839 Speaker 1: somewhere in the jigsaw puzzle that it gets very difficult 91 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 1: and challenging. The bigger the picture you want, but then 92 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: what a happened in your life, It's just like what 93 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: ha happened in the jigsaw. Once you get comfortable and 94 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: you don't mind the challenge, you could get a bigger picture. 95 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: But here's the key to it, though, if you put 96 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: God in your mix. See the picture that I saw 97 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: for myself as a boy is not the picture that 98 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: has happened to me as a man. Because along the 99 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: way from boyhood to manhood, from the time I was ten, 100 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 1: you understand what happened along the riding now was I 101 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: started putting God in the mix. And so now the 102 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: picture that I have now is not the picture I saw. 103 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: It's the picture that God saw. So what I'm saying 104 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: this analogy is the picture you have may be difficult 105 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: to complete, but if you were to include God in 106 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 1: your life. Put God in your jigsaw puzzle. God will 107 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 1: not only help you complete the puzzle, and he gonna 108 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 1: add some pieces, he gonna do some favors, he gonna 109 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 1: show some mercy, and you're gonna look up and the 110 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: picture that you're able to end up with or be 111 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 1: totally different and much more complete, much more beautiful or 112 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: bigger picture than the one you had. Because there's no 113 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 1: way that I could have saw the life that I 114 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 1: have today back when I was a boy. And it 115 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: amazes me when I hear people say I always saw 116 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: this for myself. I didn't do that. I didn't quite 117 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 1: see this for myself. I don't know how you can 118 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: have the ability to see what God really has for you. 119 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:54,199 Speaker 1: But man, he's a masterful jigsaw man. He's an incredible 120 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: puzzle complet So if you got a puzzle that's challenging 121 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 1: to you, maybe you need to see what it's the 122 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: picture that God has for your life. If God were 123 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:08,839 Speaker 1: in your life, if you completed the puzzle, what would 124 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 1: it look like. It'll be a far more extensive puzzle, 125 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 1: and it would be a far more beautiful piece of 126 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: scenery than you could have ever imagined. Tears come in 127 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 1: my eyes because I can't believe God bought me this far. 128 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,479 Speaker 1: I can't believe that when I opened up and accepted 129 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 1: him and started talking to him, that he would add 130 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: all these pieceles to my jigsaw puzzle, and my jigsaw 131 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 1: puzzle would look like this. And I can tell you 132 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: I ain't got a whole lot to do with with 133 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,319 Speaker 1: with what I had and turned into, it's mostly favored 134 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 1: and blessings and grace and mercy of God. And I 135 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,959 Speaker 1: looked up and I just got a much bigger jigsaw 136 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 1: puzzle completed. And guess what, He ain't through with me yet. 137 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 1: That's what's amazing and exciting about a relationship with God. 138 00:09:55,120 --> 00:10:00,200 Speaker 1: God could take your jigsaw puzzle and fix it. Good 139 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 1: morning show, ladies and gentlemen, The time is up, partners 140 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: to Steve Harvey Morning Show, loud and clear, vivid color 141 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: on this very lovely, blessed and grateful Monday morning.

Let me go. 556 00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:35,680 Speaker 1: Let me go first. One, you've been cooking, loan out him. 557 00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,440 Speaker 1: Let me go first. This is what bothers me about 558 00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:42,840 Speaker 1: people grilling. Okay, quit putting all that light of fluid 559 00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:48,160 Speaker 1: on your charcoal or your rulers. That just drives me crazy. 560 00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:52,839 Speaker 1: Do you realize your meat smells just like that light 561 00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:57,200 Speaker 1: of fluid. It tastes like that. Oh yeah, come on, man, 562 00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:01,239 Speaker 1: get you some wood. They got some natural wood starters 563 00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:03,520 Speaker 1: that you can put in there and light those up. 564 00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:07,120 Speaker 1: And now your wood or your charcoal, whichever one you're using, 565 00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:10,839 Speaker 1: doesn't taste like a smell like all this gas lighter 566 00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:12,680 Speaker 1: fluid You didn't put on that. That's that's one of 567 00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:15,879 Speaker 1: my tips right there. That's a pet peever, man. So 568 00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:20,640 Speaker 1: let me just piggyback off that and say to start 569 00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:24,600 Speaker 1: your fire. They sell, they'd sell what time he's talking 570 00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:29,400 Speaker 1: about as fire starters. Wood starters wear the little white chunks. 571 00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,799 Speaker 1: They got match sticks that burn naturally that you can 572 00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,879 Speaker 1: put on them. But they have these things that look 573 00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:40,759 Speaker 1: like coffee cans. They look like a big giant coffee mug. 574 00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,839 Speaker 1: You put your charcoal in it and light it from 575 00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:49,080 Speaker 1: the bottom right, and that can get your charcoal started 576 00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:51,960 Speaker 1: a little bit more even for you. You don't pour 577 00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:55,160 Speaker 1: the charcoal in the basin of your thing. You pour 578 00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:59,240 Speaker 1: the charcoal in this like big round pot. Then start 579 00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:01,040 Speaker 1: them like that. Yeah, it's got a handle on it. 580 00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:03,239 Speaker 1: Then you just pour it in there and they're burn 581 00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:06,200 Speaker 1: Even this is little stuff you can learn. I have 582 00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:10,800 Speaker 1: another tip when it's mind turn Okay, here's another people 583 00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:13,480 Speaker 1: that people that are you know, amateurs, are grilling. They 584 00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:16,640 Speaker 1: throw their chicken on and then you think twenty minutes later, yo, 585 00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:22,000 Speaker 1: chicken is done. Yo chicken ain't done it? Yeah, no 586 00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:29,719 Speaker 1: it is. Surely this is a sport. And why are 587 00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:35,080 Speaker 1: you talking? Why are we talking about cooking? Why trying 588 00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:38,360 Speaker 1: to stay awake? Why so long? We'll learn how to 589 00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:42,920 Speaker 1: cook awaken The people will come over your house and 590 00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:46,520 Speaker 1: not leave so much. If you can cook, you have whatever, 591 00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:50,879 Speaker 1: bring something. So listen while you're cooking your chicken, keep 592 00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:54,160 Speaker 1: flipping it and don't be afraid the slice of piece, 593 00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:56,520 Speaker 1: and see where you are. If you see a little 594 00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:58,920 Speaker 1: light red water, you need to cook a little longer. 595 00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,480 Speaker 1: That means it's still some blood in there. Keep cooking 596 00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:04,400 Speaker 1: your chicken, keep flipping it, and keep cooking. That's all 597 00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:06,759 Speaker 1: I'm asking. Look, man, grilling, ain't no thing where you 598 00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:09,440 Speaker 1: can leave your meat for ten minutes to walk off somewhere. 599 00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:12,520 Speaker 1: That ain't There's some people going in the house for 600 00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:15,480 Speaker 1: thirty minute. What did you do? You can't do that 601 00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:19,879 Speaker 1: when you grilling. Grilling is a sport, it's an activity. 602 00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:22,120 Speaker 1: You got to move that chicken to the front, to 603 00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:27,359 Speaker 1: the back. Go ahead, okay, okay, let's go back. Yeah, 604 00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:31,759 Speaker 1: go ahead, okay. I don't know nothing about grilling. I 605 00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:34,160 Speaker 1: think what you guys are saying is great. What is weak? 606 00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:39,000 Speaker 1: If you add a barbecue, Please bring good ass plates. Okay. 607 00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:43,680 Speaker 1: If the sign says cheap plates. If it says cheap plates, 608 00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:48,080 Speaker 1: damn it, don't bring them. Okay, it says cheap plates, 609 00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:51,520 Speaker 1: right there, bring good ass plates? All right? Jack, All right, 610 00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:55,759 Speaker 1: here's one quicker. I give it back when you when 611 00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:59,240 Speaker 1: you he said your charcoals? Are you even them out? Um? 612 00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:00,919 Speaker 1: You know when you get when you get it going. 613 00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:04,279 Speaker 1: But some of us like to have a real hot 614 00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:06,880 Speaker 1: side and then a warm side while you cook it. 615 00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:09,400 Speaker 1: You understand. So you may have more wood or mar 616 00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:11,759 Speaker 1: charcoals on one side and then on another side you 617 00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:13,799 Speaker 1: got you still got wood charcoals, but it's not as 618 00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:16,919 Speaker 1: heavy as the other side. That's just one of my tips. Yeah. 619 00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:20,760 Speaker 1: My tip is I have the back side of my grill, 620 00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:25,480 Speaker 1: I put no charcoal back there on the back side. 621 00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:29,439 Speaker 1: I put none so you can move some meat off 622 00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:33,480 Speaker 1: that heat if it's cooking too fast. Those you gotta have. 623 00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:35,960 Speaker 1: What time he's talking about a cool spot on the grill. 624 00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:40,200 Speaker 1: I put no charcoal on the back on the back 625 00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:43,080 Speaker 1: forth of the grill, I put no charcoal. This was 626 00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:45,719 Speaker 1: so exciting. And you can set the money on. You 627 00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:48,600 Speaker 1: can set the meat on top of each piece if 628 00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:52,000 Speaker 1: you have to to keep it off the stack. And Shirley, 629 00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:56,080 Speaker 1: don't rush us with your non kicking as it's people 630 00:43:56,120 --> 00:44:03,040 Speaker 1: who care about this for a plate though.

I said I should 815 00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:53,439 Speaker 1: know who my children are around, and he said all 816 00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:55,560 Speaker 1: I need to know is that they're with him, and 817 00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:58,759 Speaker 1: that's all that matters. Well, I do happen to know 818 00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:02,080 Speaker 1: the woman, and she's a whore he messed with while 819 00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:04,920 Speaker 1: we were married, and I'm sure he's afraid for me 820 00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:11,560 Speaker 1: to be Yeah, you heard it. You don't even say that, 821 00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:14,759 Speaker 1: but that's what it says. It's a letter. Well, I 822 00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:16,520 Speaker 1: do having to know the woman, and she's a whore 823 00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:19,200 Speaker 1: he messed with while we were married, and I'm sure 824 00:54:19,239 --> 00:54:21,360 Speaker 1: he's afraid for me to be face to face with 825 00:54:21,480 --> 00:54:26,320 Speaker 1: her because I might snap. It's been years since this happened, 826 00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:29,120 Speaker 1: so I'm not tripping at all, But even if it 827 00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:32,040 Speaker 1: was another woman, I would want to meet her. He 828 00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:34,520 Speaker 1: is planning to take our children and his girlfriend to 829 00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:38,120 Speaker 1: Destin when the kids finished with school, and I saw 830 00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:40,880 Speaker 1: this on social media because he puts all of his 831 00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:44,600 Speaker 1: business out on there. He hasn't mentioned anything to me 832 00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:46,640 Speaker 1: and still hasn't set up a meeting between me and 833 00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:49,640 Speaker 1: this person he lives with. I still let the children 834 00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:52,560 Speaker 1: go visit him, but I think it's very disrespectful that 835 00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:55,000 Speaker 1: I don't know this woman. My family says I need 836 00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:56,959 Speaker 1: to reach out to her, but that is his job. 837 00:54:57,280 --> 00:54:59,520 Speaker 1: I asked him, if the tables are turned and I 838 00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:01,840 Speaker 1: had a and living with me, would he like to 839 00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:04,399 Speaker 1: meet the man I have around his children? He said 840 00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:07,520 Speaker 1: he doesn't ever want to meet another n word that's 841 00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:12,640 Speaker 1: with me. He doesn't respect or drop off and pick 842 00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:16,000 Speaker 1: up times either, and it's a big ordeal because he 843 00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:19,160 Speaker 1: doesn't want me coming by the house. I've kept quiet, 844 00:55:20,120 --> 00:55:22,319 Speaker 1: but it hasn't been easy. Should I reach out to 845 00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:26,360 Speaker 1: this woman he lives with or let it be well? 846 00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:29,920 Speaker 1: I mean, this certainly is your business. Despite what he 847 00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:32,160 Speaker 1: said about it being none of your business. It is 848 00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:34,000 Speaker 1: your business. I mean, these are your kids and you 849 00:55:34,040 --> 00:55:36,360 Speaker 1: have every right to know what's going on with them, 850 00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:38,560 Speaker 1: as long as your intentions are pure, and you really 851 00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:40,520 Speaker 1: do want to meet this woman and you're not gonna 852 00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:43,200 Speaker 1: snap like you say you want to meet this woman 853 00:55:43,239 --> 00:55:46,200 Speaker 1: for the reasons you speak of, then okay, you're not wrong. 854 00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:50,960 Speaker 1: But the chances of this actually happened, it sounds like 855 00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:54,799 Speaker 1: are zero to none. Okay, your trifling ex husband is 856 00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:57,960 Speaker 1: just not about to let this happen. He knows he's wrong, 857 00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:01,520 Speaker 1: and he's too petty to care about that. I say, Patty, 858 00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:04,839 Speaker 1: because it's not about him. It's not about you. It's 859 00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:07,600 Speaker 1: not even about the girlfriend. Really, it's about the kids. 860 00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:10,000 Speaker 1: That's all you're trying to find out, is that the 861 00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:13,480 Speaker 1: kids cool. You want to know what this person's character is, 862 00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:16,040 Speaker 1: what she's teaching them. Does she really care for them? 863 00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:19,120 Speaker 1: I mean she's living in the home, so they're going 864 00:56:19,160 --> 00:56:22,279 Speaker 1: to be around her quite a bit. Does she discipline them? 865 00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:25,120 Speaker 1: If she does, How you want to know all those things, 866 00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:28,719 Speaker 1: all these questions you want answers to, Well, you do 867 00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:32,239 Speaker 1: sound like the adult in this situation. Your husband is 868 00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:36,480 Speaker 1: bitter and very disrespectful, as you said, and you're going 869 00:56:36,560 --> 00:56:39,160 Speaker 1: to get nowhere with him, so I don't think it'll 870 00:56:39,239 --> 00:56:41,919 Speaker 1: hurt anything to reach out to this woman. You can, 871 00:56:42,560 --> 00:56:45,400 Speaker 1: but I also say be watchful, listen to your children, 872 00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:47,799 Speaker 1: wait for any change in their behavior or anything they 873 00:56:47,880 --> 00:56:51,680 Speaker 1: might tell you. They're under twelve, which means you know 874 00:56:51,719 --> 00:56:54,960 Speaker 1: they can talk and everything, So if there's any kind 875 00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:57,279 Speaker 1: of change, then you speak to your husband about it 876 00:56:57,400 --> 00:56:59,520 Speaker 1: if you have to go over there. I don't think 877 00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:02,759 Speaker 1: there's a wrong answer here. I just don't. I don't 878 00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:04,960 Speaker 1: think there's a wrong answer. You you do it how 879 00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:09,799 Speaker 1: you feel you should do it, as their parents. Steve, Well, 880 00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:12,479 Speaker 1: we've got a few things going on in this letter. 881 00:57:12,520 --> 00:57:15,000 Speaker 1: At first, my ex won't let me meet his boo. 882 00:57:15,719 --> 00:57:19,280 Speaker 1: Was a little deceptive, But now that you have children involved, 883 00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:23,480 Speaker 1: that changes everything. I was a little confused as I 884 00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:26,880 Speaker 1: was reading the letter because it wasn't clear who the 885 00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:29,919 Speaker 1: children were with until later on in the letter. They 886 00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:33,480 Speaker 1: just go to visit him, So you have custody of 887 00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:37,440 Speaker 1: the kids. Now, let's start with a couple of things 888 00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:39,720 Speaker 1: I pick up right away. My ex husband and I 889 00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:42,800 Speaker 1: both in their forties. Y'all got three children on the 890 00:57:42,800 --> 00:57:45,840 Speaker 1: age that we divorced over two years ago. Recently he 891 00:57:45,880 --> 00:57:52,160 Speaker 1: allowed his girlfriend to move into my old house with him. See, 892 00:57:52,200 --> 00:57:55,840 Speaker 1: once you say that's my old house, that adds a 893 00:57:55,880 --> 00:57:59,760 Speaker 1: little extra to sauce in the story. It's obviously not 894 00:57:59,880 --> 00:58:02,840 Speaker 1: your house. The kids told you about it, so you 895 00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:04,800 Speaker 1: ask your ax and let him meet the woman that 896 00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:07,600 Speaker 1: my kids around. He got upset, said that ain't none 897 00:58:07,600 --> 00:58:10,240 Speaker 1: of your business. It would be none of your business 898 00:58:10,360 --> 00:58:13,560 Speaker 1: if the kids weren't around. But the kids are around, 899 00:58:14,320 --> 00:58:17,000 Speaker 1: especially if they talk about vacation together. But here's the 900 00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:21,880 Speaker 1: part that who gets trouble. I need to know who 901 00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:24,920 Speaker 1: they're with with him, and that's all that mattered. And 902 00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:27,920 Speaker 1: then you said, well, I do happen to know the woman, 903 00:58:28,120 --> 00:58:32,480 Speaker 1: and she's a whore. Now when you say that lady, 904 00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:38,280 Speaker 1: now your old house and she's a whore. Now you 905 00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:42,760 Speaker 1: don't like this woman. And then you said, he's afraid 906 00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:44,400 Speaker 1: for you to be face to face with her because 907 00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:47,360 Speaker 1: I might snap. Well, we're there with your old house, 908 00:58:47,840 --> 00:58:50,919 Speaker 1: the whore, and you're gonna snap. That's why you ain't 909 00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:56,160 Speaker 1: meeting No damn. All right, we'll have part two of 910 00:58:56,160 --> 00:58:58,720 Speaker 1: your response coming up at twenty three minutes after the hour. 911 00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:01,760 Speaker 1: Today's Strawberry Letters subject my ex won't let me meet 912 00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:04,360 Speaker 1: his boob. We'll get back into it right after this. 913 00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:10,200 Speaker 1: You're listening, all right, Come on, Steve, let's recap today's 914 00:59:10,200 --> 00:59:14,200 Speaker 1: Strawberry letter, subject my ex won't let me meet his boo. Well, 915 00:59:14,640 --> 00:59:17,280 Speaker 1: the subject is a little misleading because we didn't know 916 00:59:17,320 --> 00:59:20,480 Speaker 1: it was children involved. But children are involved. I think 917 00:59:20,480 --> 00:59:23,080 Speaker 1: you should meet him. But let me tell you why 918 00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:25,760 Speaker 1: you start to let off wrong. Y'all divorce, you got 919 00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:31,480 Speaker 1: three children under twelve. He recently allowed his girlfriend to 920 00:59:31,560 --> 00:59:35,720 Speaker 1: move into my old house. If it was your house, 921 00:59:35,800 --> 00:59:40,400 Speaker 1: you still be there, especially with possession of the kids. 922 00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:42,800 Speaker 1: So I guess you wanted out of the house for 923 00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:45,440 Speaker 1: some reason or some reason you weren't awarded the house 924 00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:48,680 Speaker 1: or something something to that effect. But it's not your 925 00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:53,280 Speaker 1: old house. It's his house. And the kids told you 926 00:59:53,320 --> 00:59:55,560 Speaker 1: about that, and you want to meet the woman. But 927 00:59:55,760 --> 00:59:58,360 Speaker 1: he said, that's none of your business. I disagree, because 928 00:59:58,360 --> 01:00:01,800 Speaker 1: they're kids involved, and you should know who's around my children. 929 01:00:01,840 --> 01:00:03,800 Speaker 1: He said, all I need to know is that she's 930 01:00:03,840 --> 01:00:05,760 Speaker 1: with him, there with him, and that's all the matter. 931 01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:08,160 Speaker 1: And then you said, well, I do happen to know 932 01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:13,640 Speaker 1: the woman she's a whore. Well okay, now naw, we're 933 01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:16,800 Speaker 1: getting into some other stuff now. Because that's the case. 934 01:00:16,920 --> 01:00:21,440 Speaker 1: Meet it's gonna get ugly. And said that he's afraid 935 01:00:21,480 --> 01:00:23,720 Speaker 1: you to meet a face face because I might snap. 936 01:00:26,200 --> 01:00:30,680 Speaker 1: Because this is the woman that slept with your husband. 937 01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:35,720 Speaker 1: Why y'all was married. Now you say it's been years 938 01:00:35,720 --> 01:00:38,600 Speaker 1: since it's happened, so I'm not tripping at all, even 939 01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:40,520 Speaker 1: if it was another woman I would want to meet, 940 01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:43,800 Speaker 1: or which makes sense. He's planning to take our children 941 01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:47,160 Speaker 1: and his girlfriend to Destin when the kids finished with school, 942 01:00:47,160 --> 01:00:49,160 Speaker 1: and I saw this on social media because he puts 943 01:00:49,160 --> 01:00:52,360 Speaker 1: all his business on there. He ain't mentioned nothing to 944 01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:54,760 Speaker 1: you and still hasn't set up the meeting between me 945 01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:57,840 Speaker 1: and the person he lives with him. I still let 946 01:00:57,840 --> 01:01:00,520 Speaker 1: the children go visit him, but I think it's very respectful. 947 01:01:00,560 --> 01:01:03,640 Speaker 1: I don't know who this woman is. I agree with you. 948 01:01:04,200 --> 01:01:08,040 Speaker 1: I think it is disrespectful. My family says I need 949 01:01:08,040 --> 01:01:11,440 Speaker 1: to reach out to her, but that's his job. Well, 950 01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:15,360 Speaker 1: it's supposed to be his job, but he'd obviously don't 951 01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:17,760 Speaker 1: do his jobs real well, or else y'all will still 952 01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:22,040 Speaker 1: be married. Yeah, I asked him if the tables would turn, 953 01:01:22,120 --> 01:01:23,760 Speaker 1: if I had a man living with me, would he 954 01:01:23,840 --> 01:01:25,960 Speaker 1: liked to meet the man I have around his children? 955 01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:28,280 Speaker 1: He said, he don't never want to meet another end 956 01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:33,320 Speaker 1: that's the that's with me. Well, that's stupid of him, 957 01:01:33,360 --> 01:01:36,640 Speaker 1: because if it's a man raising your kids, that's in it, 958 01:01:37,080 --> 01:01:40,440 Speaker 1: and they under twelve, that at an impressionable age. You know, 959 01:01:40,800 --> 01:01:44,560 Speaker 1: we all got to meet. He doesn't respect I drop 960 01:01:44,600 --> 01:01:46,840 Speaker 1: off and pick up times either. It's a big ordeal 961 01:01:46,840 --> 01:01:50,040 Speaker 1: because he doesn't want me coming by the house. I've 962 01:01:50,120 --> 01:01:52,240 Speaker 1: kept quiet, but it hasn't been easy. Should I reach 963 01:01:52,240 --> 01:01:54,360 Speaker 1: out to this woman? He lives with them, all right, 964 01:01:54,440 --> 01:01:57,080 Speaker 1: So let me tell you to co parenting is hard work, 965 01:01:57,720 --> 01:02:03,560 Speaker 1: especially when they're co parenting and they're divorced.

That's how I got. 1028 01:05:50,080 --> 01:05:52,920 Speaker 1: You know, the Warriors alread eliminated. I'm sorry they go 1029 01:05:53,000 --> 01:05:55,040 Speaker 1: on home, but it was you know, if you was 1030 01:05:55,080 --> 01:05:57,800 Speaker 1: a home team this weekend. It really didn't go well 1031 01:05:57,840 --> 01:06:01,600 Speaker 1: for a lot of home teams this weekend. Nah. So, 1032 01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:04,160 Speaker 1: like I said, like the Heat, the Heat lost to 1033 01:06:04,200 --> 01:06:07,680 Speaker 1: the Bucks one oh seven, one o nine. The Mavericks 1034 01:06:07,680 --> 01:06:12,960 Speaker 1: though beat the Clippers. Dog. Yeah they was, they were 1035 01:06:13,280 --> 01:06:16,080 Speaker 1: not all of them, but they was one thirteen one 1036 01:06:16,080 --> 01:06:18,280 Speaker 1: on three was the Mavericks over the Clippers at home. 1037 01:06:19,160 --> 01:06:21,360 Speaker 1: Then you had the Celtics who lost to the Nets. 1038 01:06:21,360 --> 01:06:23,200 Speaker 1: So that was expected because they had all three of 1039 01:06:23,200 --> 01:06:26,240 Speaker 1: them on the court at the same time, Durant, Irving, 1040 01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:29,040 Speaker 1: and Harden. They all played for the first time and 1041 01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:32,840 Speaker 1: in almost two months, so they wont. Then you had 1042 01:06:32,880 --> 01:06:37,480 Speaker 1: the Trailblazers over the Nuggets one twenty three to one 1043 01:06:37,560 --> 01:06:42,439 Speaker 1: oh nine. And then you had on Sunday you had 1044 01:06:42,480 --> 01:06:46,360 Speaker 1: the seventy sixes who beat the Wizards. The Lakers lost 1045 01:06:46,400 --> 01:06:49,680 Speaker 1: to the Suns, and then the Hawks beat the Knicks 1046 01:06:49,760 --> 01:06:55,440 Speaker 1: at home. Now he's Cleveland, dude, dog Cleveland. Yeah, they 1047 01:06:55,520 --> 01:07:00,520 Speaker 1: did good watching. Oh they was watching. Okay, I mean 1048 01:07:00,800 --> 01:07:06,080 Speaker 1: I mean they was watching with the Rockets. Here we go. 1049 01:07:07,720 --> 01:07:09,880 Speaker 1: That's the same way the Texas is gonna be doing 1050 01:07:10,080 --> 01:07:13,960 Speaker 1: this playoff season for the football. Here we go. See. 1051 01:07:14,880 --> 01:07:17,480 Speaker 1: So my question is, even though the Wards are going home, 1052 01:07:17,520 --> 01:07:20,920 Speaker 1: does Steph still get the MVP? Yes, probably not, he 1053 01:07:20,960 --> 01:07:23,400 Speaker 1: had the best season. They don't. They don't give out 1054 01:07:23,440 --> 01:07:26,280 Speaker 1: the award after the playoffs. You would think whoever on 1055 01:07:26,440 --> 01:07:29,600 Speaker 1: number one team be up for MVP most of the times. No, 1056 01:07:30,720 --> 01:07:35,000 Speaker 1: that ain't hard work. So it's not even the best team. 1057 01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:37,280 Speaker 1: It's just the best player for their team. This situation 1058 01:07:37,280 --> 01:07:39,640 Speaker 1: they was in. Yeah, I mean, but you know they 1059 01:07:40,080 --> 01:07:42,560 Speaker 1: a lot of times I don't. I don't always agree 1060 01:07:42,560 --> 01:07:46,720 Speaker 1: with the MVP myself. But oh really, really you have 1061 01:07:46,800 --> 01:07:51,920 Speaker 1: a hard time, you have it a hard time. But 1062 01:07:52,040 --> 01:07:55,200 Speaker 1: what do you say? Or Harvey, what do you say? 1063 01:07:55,320 --> 01:07:57,440 Speaker 1: I mean? I think Steph carry the numbers he put 1064 01:07:57,520 --> 01:07:59,120 Speaker 1: up this year. If you asked me, who put up 1065 01:07:59,160 --> 01:08:03,320 Speaker 1: the best number? The best numbers to me is Russell Westbrook. 1066 01:08:04,360 --> 01:08:07,200 Speaker 1: Yeah he did. He averaged a triple double. He did. 1067 01:08:07,400 --> 01:08:10,080 Speaker 1: But that's not what they do. That's that's why the MVP. 1068 01:08:10,200 --> 01:08:13,360 Speaker 1: I don't get this cat is valuable man all in 1069 01:08:13,480 --> 01:08:18,479 Speaker 1: triple doubles. That boy playing basketball man like nobody else. Well, 1070 01:08:18,600 --> 01:08:21,080 Speaker 1: we're gonna find out a couple of weeks.

You know, 1081 01:08:55,600 --> 01:08:59,120 Speaker 1: another was watching too much TV would literally ruin your brain. 1082 01:09:00,439 --> 01:09:03,320 Speaker 1: The list goes on and on. If I got one 1083 01:09:03,439 --> 01:09:07,760 Speaker 1: for you, yeah, I was paranoid. And and my uncle 1084 01:09:07,800 --> 01:09:09,600 Speaker 1: can attest this. He used to make me think that 1085 01:09:10,680 --> 01:09:13,680 Speaker 1: if you swallowed one of those watermelon seeds that one 1086 01:09:13,720 --> 01:09:16,120 Speaker 1: of them will start growing in your stomach. So I 1087 01:09:16,240 --> 01:09:18,559 Speaker 1: used to go through and just cut that watermelon up 1088 01:09:18,600 --> 01:09:21,840 Speaker 1: so fine. I mean I was just jack of watermelon 1089 01:09:21,960 --> 01:09:23,240 Speaker 1: up before I ate it because I was trying to 1090 01:09:23,280 --> 01:09:31,479 Speaker 1: get every seed out of it. I was parangosed to 1091 01:09:31,560 --> 01:09:36,400 Speaker 1: be all right, that was dumb. I'll tell you one. 1092 01:09:36,439 --> 01:09:38,479 Speaker 1: I'm shamed to say this because I was way off 1093 01:09:38,600 --> 01:09:40,920 Speaker 1: areging to at school that Santa Claus was really real? 1094 01:09:41,479 --> 01:09:44,040 Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, I was going to school.

You're in 1098 01:09:53,920 --> 01:09:59,880 Speaker 1: the Christmas and he is real, next saying yes, he's real. 1099 01:10:00,680 --> 01:10:07,200 Speaker 1: I tell what I believed. I went to Carver Elementary 1100 01:10:07,640 --> 01:10:11,800 Speaker 1: called Carver Elementary School, Columbia, South Carolina. I believe they 1101 01:10:11,840 --> 01:10:14,799 Speaker 1: had a basement and if you went in the basement, 1102 01:10:15,439 --> 01:10:18,760 Speaker 1: there was a lady down in that basement that would 1103 01:10:18,880 --> 01:10:22,840 Speaker 1: snatch your ass up and nobody would ever see you 1104 01:10:22,920 --> 01:10:27,280 Speaker 1: again if you went or the basement. So I always 1105 01:10:27,320 --> 01:10:30,599 Speaker 1: walked around the school to make sure I didn't even 1106 01:10:30,600 --> 01:10:34,360 Speaker 1: go past and the steps that went down in the basement, 1107 01:10:35,040 --> 01:10:38,439 Speaker 1: because she was known to come up the steps and 1108 01:10:38,600 --> 01:10:42,599 Speaker 1: snatch kids around. Uh. This was what I believe, and 1109 01:10:42,680 --> 01:10:46,040 Speaker 1: I believe that. And when I still passed the school, 1110 01:10:46,120 --> 01:10:49,400 Speaker 1: I never looked in that direction because I took one 1111 01:10:49,439 --> 01:10:51,960 Speaker 1: time and she was in the window. I sweat about 1112 01:10:52,040 --> 01:10:56,680 Speaker 1: I saw lady in the window. So I believe that. 1113 01:10:57,280 --> 01:11:01,400 Speaker 1: I thought that why you was running if you look 1114 01:11:01,479 --> 01:11:05,120 Speaker 1: down at the cracks on the sidewalk when they was 1115 01:11:05,200 --> 01:11:08,240 Speaker 1: going by, I thought that meant I was going faster. 1116 01:11:12,479 --> 01:11:20,720 Speaker 1: I believe that. I kick it. Oh my god.

You know, um, I want to 1225 01:19:14,320 --> 01:19:19,280 Speaker 1: keep encouraging people to keep to keep making an effort 1226 01:19:19,320 --> 01:19:22,640 Speaker 1: to make your dreams come true. Look, I know that 1227 01:19:22,880 --> 01:19:26,080 Speaker 1: life can be tough at times, and I know there 1228 01:19:26,120 --> 01:19:29,960 Speaker 1: are times when life seems like it's completely unfair. But 1229 01:19:30,160 --> 01:19:34,639 Speaker 1: life ain't really fair. But life ain't really fair for anybody. 1230 01:19:34,720 --> 01:19:37,560 Speaker 1: And what I mean by it's not fair, the unexpected 1231 01:19:37,680 --> 01:19:40,880 Speaker 1: always happens. I mean, you know, as prepared as you 1232 01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:43,519 Speaker 1: may be, you can be setting your plan for your 1233 01:19:43,600 --> 01:19:46,120 Speaker 1: day to go one way or another way, and then 1234 01:19:46,320 --> 01:19:51,080 Speaker 1: something completely happens out of the blue, and it seems unfair. Well, 1235 01:19:51,160 --> 01:19:54,160 Speaker 1: I just want to remind you that that happens to everybody. 1236 01:19:55,160 --> 01:20:00,400 Speaker 1: That's not just happening to you. Life happens to every everybody, 1237 01:20:00,479 --> 01:20:04,759 Speaker 1: and these sudden surprises. They seem so unfair, but that's life. 1238 01:20:05,520 --> 01:20:10,400 Speaker 1: The counter that you have for the unexpected is if 1239 01:20:10,479 --> 01:20:13,960 Speaker 1: you are a believer, if you can work yourself up 1240 01:20:14,040 --> 01:20:16,960 Speaker 1: to become a person of faith, if you can form 1241 01:20:17,000 --> 01:20:20,320 Speaker 1: a relationship with your creator. The thing that will help 1242 01:20:20,400 --> 01:20:23,120 Speaker 1: you get through all of that is the realization that 1243 01:20:23,400 --> 01:20:29,240 Speaker 1: even though the unthinkable has happened, even though this unforeseen 1244 01:20:29,360 --> 01:20:36,759 Speaker 1: circumstance has popped up, this unexplainable moment, just the fact 1245 01:20:37,000 --> 01:20:42,000 Speaker 1: of knowing that God is with me no matter what happens. 1246 01:20:42,160 --> 01:20:46,240 Speaker 1: He is a very present help for me in the 1247 01:20:46,360 --> 01:20:48,800 Speaker 1: good times, in the bad times, when it's sunnay, when 1248 01:20:48,840 --> 01:20:53,760 Speaker 1: it's reigning, when it's thunderstorming, when the waves is real high, 1249 01:20:54,080 --> 01:21:00,240 Speaker 1: when when your ship gets turned over it can get 1250 01:21:00,360 --> 01:21:04,240 Speaker 1: righted again. You know, I want you to understand, to 1251 01:21:04,360 --> 01:21:10,360 Speaker 1: stop wanting everything to be smooth for yourself. That's not realistic, y'all. 1252 01:21:10,840 --> 01:21:14,000 Speaker 1: That's not what life is. If life was smooth for 1253 01:21:14,200 --> 01:21:18,720 Speaker 1: us all the time, we would have no level of appreciation, 1254 01:21:19,520 --> 01:21:23,600 Speaker 1: we would have no need for faith, We would have 1255 01:21:24,200 --> 01:21:29,280 Speaker 1: no relationship with God. I promise you we wouldn't. If 1256 01:21:29,520 --> 01:21:34,360 Speaker 1: everything was level and smoothed, that would be no flow 1257 01:21:34,520 --> 01:21:38,160 Speaker 1: to life. You wouldn't even have real emotions if it 1258 01:21:38,280 --> 01:21:42,720 Speaker 1: stayed smooth all the time. You would have no appreciation 1259 01:21:43,439 --> 01:21:49,040 Speaker 1: for sunny days because if the sunshine every day, because 1260 01:21:49,120 --> 01:21:51,360 Speaker 1: we are human, all of us, we would just get 1261 01:21:51,400 --> 01:21:55,679 Speaker 1: accustomed to it and we would just go about thinking old, well, 1262 01:21:55,720 --> 01:21:59,240 Speaker 1: if this is how it's supposed to go. But God 1263 01:21:59,360 --> 01:22:05,800 Speaker 1: treats the weather just like life. It has its sunny days, 1264 01:22:05,880 --> 01:22:09,639 Speaker 1: it has its partly cloudy days, it has its days 1265 01:22:09,680 --> 01:22:14,960 Speaker 1: when it's thunderstorming. It has its days where it's windy outside. 1266 01:22:15,240 --> 01:22:18,120 Speaker 1: It has its days where it's just great. Then it 1267 01:22:18,280 --> 01:22:21,840 Speaker 1: has some days where it's just perfectly beautiful weather. And 1268 01:22:22,000 --> 01:22:25,599 Speaker 1: then and then, just like life, the weather it has 1269 01:22:25,800 --> 01:22:29,439 Speaker 1: seasons to it. You have a season whereas it just 1270 01:22:29,560 --> 01:22:32,439 Speaker 1: seems like for a period of time you're just out 1271 01:22:32,479 --> 01:22:35,679 Speaker 1: here tall and working, and then it seems like there's 1272 01:22:35,720 --> 01:22:38,760 Speaker 1: a period of time where it might seem like all 1273 01:22:38,880 --> 01:22:41,880 Speaker 1: your crops is dead and and ain't nothing coming out 1274 01:22:41,920 --> 01:22:44,960 Speaker 1: the ground. And then you'll have seasons in your life 1275 01:22:45,000 --> 01:22:48,320 Speaker 1: where you're just harvesting the fruit and the manner and 1276 01:22:48,439 --> 01:22:52,800 Speaker 1: the crops are coming all in. That's life, and God 1277 01:22:52,880 --> 01:22:57,120 Speaker 1: gives us these examples of life all through nature and everything. 1278 01:22:57,479 --> 01:23:00,400 Speaker 1: When the leaves turn brown and orange, how beautiful they 1279 01:23:00,439 --> 01:23:02,599 Speaker 1: can be. But if some people, if you don't see 1280 01:23:02,640 --> 01:23:04,920 Speaker 1: the beauty of the orange and the scarlets and the 1281 01:23:05,040 --> 01:23:08,040 Speaker 1: red and the oranges of the leaves, then you missed 1282 01:23:08,040 --> 01:23:10,320 Speaker 1: the beauty of fall. If you're just sitting there going 1283 01:23:10,520 --> 01:23:12,760 Speaker 1: old wol Lord, it's fit to be winter.
