Wow man, how good has God been 12 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: to me? You know? Today? Let me get right to 13 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 1: it because I'm I'm kind of feeling this today, and 14 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure that's just quite a few of you 15 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: who go through the same things today. Today was just 16 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,359 Speaker 1: a little tough morning for me because I didn't want 17 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,080 Speaker 1: to leave home yesterday. You know, I wanted to stay 18 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 1: home a little. I just gotten home, you know, I 19 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: gotta go again. And sometimes, you know, just the weight 20 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: of all that you have to do just gets on 21 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: you sometimes and sometimes you don't feel like doing it today. Huh. 22 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 1: You know, I'm just talking to those who feel this 23 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 1: way every now and then, and I'm assuming that would 24 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: be everybody, because I don't know nobody who can just 25 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,839 Speaker 1: ply through this thing without having those days. Well, what 26 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: do you do when it gets hard to stay up? 27 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: What do you do when it gets hard to be positive? 28 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: What do you do when it seems like things aren't 29 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 1: happening for you fast enough or in the time frame 30 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: that you thought it was going. What do you do? 31 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: And the reason that I guess I chose to speak 32 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: about this this morning is because I'm having one of 33 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 1: those days. Because I had one of those days yesterday. 34 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: It's just a tough day. I really can't explain. It's 35 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 1: nothing really in particular bad happened. It's just I think 36 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: the weight of all that's going on started to feel 37 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: heavy to me. And so what do you do when 38 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: you have days like that? When it's hard to be positive, 39 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: when it's hard to stay up? Okay, here's what I 40 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: had to start doing this morning. Now. I haven't completed it, 41 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: can't I just be real with you, I haven't completed it, 42 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: but I am processing it out because I know what 43 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 1: to do. You know, been there, done that, I didn't 44 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: have that pain before. I know what to do. You know, 45 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: if I sprain my finger, I know what to do now. 46 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 1: You know the first sprain I had, O Lord, I 47 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,840 Speaker 1: thought it was broke. I thought I got me handac half. 48 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:21,919 Speaker 1: But now if I spray my finger, I know what 49 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: to do. So since I've been in this position, in 50 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: this hole so many times before and God has always 51 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: gotten me through it, I decided I've got to start 52 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 1: the process today. Want to hear all some things now, 53 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get to the big one last. And one 54 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 1: of the things I do is I remember the plan, 55 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:48,159 Speaker 1: sit down, and I consciously think about the goals I've set. 56 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,720 Speaker 1: I go over see. I've got mine down on an 57 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 1: iPad so I can pull them out anywhere I am 58 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: and pull them up. And I've got two lists that 59 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 1: I've made. I've got a list of things that I 60 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 1: know I cannot acomplished if I just keep working hard, 61 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 1: and if some couple of things just fall into place 62 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: that I can see. Then I got a list of 63 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: things that I'm planning on accomplishing. And then I have 64 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: a second list. And the heading of this list is 65 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 1: called only God can help me Now. And on this list. 66 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: It's things that I'm aspiring for or things that I'm 67 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: hoping to that in order for them to happen, I 68 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 1: absolutely have to have God's help. That's my favorite list. 69 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: It's the list that I have of the things that 70 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 1: I don't see no way it can happen. I'm just 71 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: operating on faith and the hope that God hear me, 72 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,599 Speaker 1: and so sometimes, man, when you gotta when I have 73 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: this list of who only God can help me, now 74 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: that list is stuff that I cannot see. I'm just 75 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: operating on faith that God is so much bigger than me, 76 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: that he's so much more capable than I am, that 77 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,599 Speaker 1: I can actually acquire some things in my life, as 78 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,919 Speaker 1: He's proven to me time and time again up to 79 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: this point, that He's willing to do for me. If 80 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: I'm willing to just give him some of my life. 81 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 1: That's only why I can't explain my existence today. You know, 82 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 1: I began the conversation with my wife, how do I 83 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 1: write a book that becomes so wildly successful? That would 84 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:31,039 Speaker 1: be God. That's only God, Because if you can plan 85 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: to sit down and write a wildly successful book, I 86 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 1: would have Benden sat down and did it and so 87 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:40,720 Speaker 1: would you. So that would be God. How it got 88 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,479 Speaker 1: purchased to become a movie when that was not my 89 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: intent when I wrote the book at all. Again, that 90 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: would be God. Right, there has to be, because if 91 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 1: I can't explain it and it is by no doing 92 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,279 Speaker 1: of my own, then who did it? So when I 93 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: get down in days like this, I remember the goal. 94 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,479 Speaker 1: I remember the plan. I remember the journey. I think 95 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: about of all the things God has bought me to 96 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: how did I even get to this point? Yeah? I 97 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: might be having a little bummer of a day. Yeah, 98 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: I was a little down yesterday. Yeah, my bio rhythms 99 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: is off, whatever they want to call it. Yeah, I'm 100 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 1: just having one of those days. I feel a little 101 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: bit heavy. I need a vacation real bad. I need 102 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: some time off to just go and regenerate. But right now, man, 103 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: I ain't got that. So guess what I do. I 104 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: gotta start remembering the plan. I gotta start remembering the goals. 105 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: I gotta start thinking about all the things that God 106 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 1: has done for me and how He has bought me 107 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 1: this far and the blessings that I have instead of 108 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: what I don't have. And that's what I'm in the 109 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: process of doing this morning, and on the commercial breaks, 110 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: I'm gonna pull out my iPad and I'm gonna go 111 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: over my two lists, and I'm gonna read my little 112 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 1: list of what I think I can accomplish, and I'm 113 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: gonna really read that only God can help Me now list, 114 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: because that's the list that's big. That's the part where 115 00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: I've been telling y'all, I said, quit telling God how 116 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: big your problems are, and start telling your problems how 117 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 1: big your God is. See. And that's why I got 118 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: to sit down to do this morning. And then sometimes, man, 119 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: you got to stay still. That's the other part. You 120 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: got to stay still. You gotta quit moving for a second, 121 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 1: because sometimes it feel like you're running on a treadmill 122 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: and you really ain't you going somewhere, but it feel 123 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: like you're running on a treadmill. Well, when you get 124 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: that feeling, sometimes you got to stay still. And then 125 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: when you stay still, sometimes you gotta fight to stay positive. 126 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,439 Speaker 1: Sometimes you gotta fight not to let the devil win. 127 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: You're in a fight, mam. I told you this. Now 128 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,680 Speaker 1: you're in a fight now, So trying to get you 129 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,079 Speaker 1: to get on that positive train so he can get 130 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 1: you off the faith train. So God's delivery package that's 131 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,679 Speaker 1: coming to you built on your faith that you can. 132 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:51,559 Speaker 1: He can shake your faith and get you to thinking 133 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,439 Speaker 1: negative and then he wins. See. So when you start 134 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 1: feeling negative, just know that that's the other force trying 135 00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: to throw your off track. And when you get through 136 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:01,559 Speaker 1: it all that here is the key to big one. 137 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 1: You want me to tell it to you. You gots 138 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: to pray, Man, You got to pray. You gotta take 139 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,679 Speaker 1: it to God. You gotta say, hey, God, look I'm 140 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 1: having one of these days. I need your help. I 141 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: got business to take care of.

You've been 267 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 1: a fool to allow it to happen in your house. 268 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:42,120 Speaker 1: You gotta have some type of rules, man, to give 269 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 1: them pause for thought when they go out the house. 270 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:50,919 Speaker 1: Just Paul's for thought.

Why is that, Steve? Because it seems 283 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 1: like to me, because you're one, you would hang around 284 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,119 Speaker 1: people that are like you. Well, you hang around people, 285 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,879 Speaker 1: but that doesn't mean you form friendships. You know what 286 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 1: I mean? Friendship? To me, it's delicate, it's it's it's 287 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 1: a process to become my friend. You know.

Now that was that? That was a 491 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 1: serious question. Yeah, yes, the answer had been yes. I 492 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:27,880 Speaker 1: ask for restaurant, Okay, cool. I was just asking because 493 00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:31,240 Speaker 1: then if it was true, then we turned from a 494 00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:38,400 Speaker 1: question too. I would have several states. Ye, story, It's 495 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:42,960 Speaker 1: just it's a restaurant. I just wanted to know. I know, seriously, 496 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 1: somebody told me that in a very serious tone, and 497 00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:52,320 Speaker 1: so I was just asking, was that alert a daycare alert? 498 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:59,120 Speaker 1: I didn't hear that. The food in the end of 499 00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 1: the daycare, Timmy, where did you hit this all? Alright? 500 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:04,680 Speaker 1: Here it is here this once it was revealed a 501 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,480 Speaker 1: woman helped free R Kelly.

Kelly personally and that he promised to 510 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:44,920 Speaker 1: pay her money back at the time, she said she 511 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:49,840 Speaker 1: didn't know about other investigations. Unfortunately, Illinois Judge Lawrence Flood 512 00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:53,400 Speaker 1: said no to Valencia Love's request because she has no 513 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:57,120 Speaker 1: legal basis to get her money back. Meanwhile, R. Kelly 514 00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,640 Speaker 1: is in jail again, this time for federal crime.

This is a trip 530 00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:21,200 Speaker 1: with the news. Secretary State Mike Pompeia was accusing Iran 531 00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:24,239 Speaker 1: of making what he describes as an act of war 532 00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:28,359 Speaker 1: by attacking Saudi Arabia's oil infrastructure a few days ago. 533 00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:31,040 Speaker 1: Rebels and Yemen have cleaned responsibility for it, though, but 534 00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:34,120 Speaker 1: Pompey was dismissing that one because he says the Whosies 535 00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,479 Speaker 1: just don't have that kind of capability. The equipment used 536 00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,880 Speaker 1: is unknown to be in the hood the arsenal. Meanwhile, 537 00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,439 Speaker 1: President Trump is appointed Robert O'Brien to be his next 538 00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:47,919 Speaker 1: National security advisor, and this will be the fourth man 539 00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,960 Speaker 1: appointed to the position by Trump and only three years 540 00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:54,880 Speaker 1: before him. There were Generals Michael Flynn, HR mcmasses and 541 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,919 Speaker 1: John boltimost recently, whom he said he fired, but John 542 00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,680 Speaker 1: Bolton said, no, I quit. Robert O'Brien has been serving 543 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:04,400 Speaker 1: as America's point man, by the way, on hostage affairs. Also, 544 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:07,239 Speaker 1: President Trump was in California yesterday where he announced that 545 00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:11,120 Speaker 1: he is revoking that state's long standing authority to regulate 546 00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:14,759 Speaker 1: its own emission standards for cars and trucks. California was 547 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:17,000 Speaker 1: granted the authority to do that to regulate its own 548 00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:20,000 Speaker 1: emissions because the unhealthy air that was actually kind of 549 00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,560 Speaker 1: famous or infamous to be found in Los Angeles and 550 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,160 Speaker 1: some other cities, all the smog and stuff, and that's 551 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:27,160 Speaker 1: why they got the right in the first place. But 552 00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:30,799 Speaker 1: the Trump administration insists that relaxed standards will result in 553 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:34,800 Speaker 1: less expensive and safer cars. But California Governor Gavin Newsom 554 00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:36,680 Speaker 1: says the White House is really trying to only please 555 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,840 Speaker 1: one constituency, the oil industry. They don't care. He doesn't 556 00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,200 Speaker 1: care about the economy, he says, or consumers or health 557 00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,920 Speaker 1: or anything like that. As a result of an investigation 558 00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:47,960 Speaker 1: conducted by New Jersey's Attorney General and the Division of 559 00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:52,200 Speaker 1: civil rights. A white wrestling coach named Alan Maloney, who 560 00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:55,080 Speaker 1: had an assistant cut in African American kids, dreads off 561 00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:58,040 Speaker 1: before he would let the man compete. Young man compete well. 562 00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:01,040 Speaker 1: Alan Maloney has now been suspended himself from refereeing any 563 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,239 Speaker 1: matches for the next two years. By the way, a 564 00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:07,120 Speaker 1: black wrestling coach says the same guy Maloney poked him 565 00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:08,840 Speaker 1: in the chest three years ago and called him the 566 00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,600 Speaker 1: N word when they had a disagreement. The black coach, 567 00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:17,080 Speaker 1: Preston Hamilton, responded by slamming Maloney to the floor. Troops 568 00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,920 Speaker 1: are being deployed in Bermuda this morning to help with 569 00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:23,480 Speaker 1: the reparation the preparations needed in advance of the arrival 570 00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:27,480 Speaker 1: of Hurricane Berto. The Category A three storm is expected 571 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:30,560 Speaker 1: just north of Bermuda this morning. It may be kind 572 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:32,879 Speaker 1: of a day right now. Any shift that could put 573 00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:34,840 Speaker 1: it right on top of the island. So we have 574 00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:36,520 Speaker 1: to see how the winds are going because it can 575 00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:40,160 Speaker 1: go from really bad to worse. Schools are closed into Bermuda, 576 00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:42,560 Speaker 1: so of the government offices, and there's no ferry or 577 00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:44,839 Speaker 1: bus service and a lot of folks try to get out. 578 00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:48,680 Speaker 1: Yesterday and the day before GM factories remain idle for 579 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,400 Speaker 1: a fourth day to day, with some forty nine thousand 580 00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:54,840 Speaker 1: UAW workers still walking picking lines at Union wants a 581 00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:57,920 Speaker 1: bigger share of the carmaker's profits and better working conditions. 582 00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:00,200 Speaker 1: GM is said to want to bring labor costs down 583 00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:03,480 Speaker 1: so that they're closer to auto plants running foreign country 584 00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:08,040 Speaker 1: cut countries. Finally, today's National Cheeseburger Day. It's what's for 585 00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:11,239 Speaker 1: dinner if you like burgers. Now back to the Steve 586 00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:31,319 Speaker 1: Harvey Morning Show. You're listening to show, all right, So 587 00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:34,440 Speaker 1: people are saying with all of these NFL quarterback injuries, 588 00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,760 Speaker 1: the Jets, the Saints, the Steelers, and now possibly Cam 589 00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:41,840 Speaker 1: Newton may not start on Sunday due to a foot 590 00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:45,800 Speaker 1: or an ankle injury. Foot and an ankle injury. Colin 591 00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:49,680 Speaker 1: Kaepernick's agent said Colin is literally in the best shape 592 00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:53,560 Speaker 1: of his life. He's been working out five days a week, yeah, 593 00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,720 Speaker 1: at five am, for three years. He wants to play. 594 00:37:57,160 --> 00:38:01,120 Speaker 1: His agent also has been kind tacking teams in need 595 00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:04,120 Speaker 1: of a quarterback. So what do you think, Steve, I 596 00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:08,120 Speaker 1: think it would be great for the league. The problem 597 00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:12,440 Speaker 1: that I'm having right now, though, is this settlement that 598 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:19,760 Speaker 1: he signed with the NFL. I'm concerned that it has 599 00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:26,000 Speaker 1: some stipulations in it. See listen. Okay, okay, First of all, 600 00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:29,720 Speaker 1: you all do understand this that the NFL it's group 601 00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:36,759 Speaker 1: of owners. The group of owners hires Roger Goodell. You 602 00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:41,600 Speaker 1: do understand this. They hire the commissioner because the commissioner 603 00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:46,480 Speaker 1: is to represent the shield of the NFL. Now, he's 604 00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:51,400 Speaker 1: a pretty well liked owner amongst a lot of players 605 00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:56,720 Speaker 1: and amongst the owners, he's very popular guy amongst them. 606 00:38:56,920 --> 00:39:00,560 Speaker 1: Crowds boo him, but the players can said to him 607 00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:03,960 Speaker 1: to be a fair judge of character. I don't know 608 00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:08,400 Speaker 1: what the deal was that Colins signed the settlement money 609 00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:10,759 Speaker 1: that they had to pay him for keeping him out 610 00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:13,280 Speaker 1: of the league. So I don't know if his agent 611 00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:17,560 Speaker 1: is being fourth right with that, because you would think 612 00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:21,239 Speaker 1: his phone would ring at this particular time. Yeah, they 613 00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:26,200 Speaker 1: really need him. Would you have signed that knowing you 614 00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:30,160 Speaker 1: can't play that money? Okay? Yeah? It must have been 615 00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:32,920 Speaker 1: a lot of them because you might not play. Hello. 616 00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:38,239 Speaker 1: And see true, it's hard to get guaranteed money in 617 00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:41,319 Speaker 1: the NFL. Most players don't get guaranteed. Now, if you 618 00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,239 Speaker 1: get hurt and you don't make the team. You out 619 00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:45,719 Speaker 1: of money, I don't give it. If you don't. If 620 00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:49,000 Speaker 1: you signed a four year contract without guarantees and you 621 00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:52,319 Speaker 1: get cut the second year, they don't pay you. But 622 00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,920 Speaker 1: it's not like that in baseball and basketball. Huh oh. No, 623 00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:02,440 Speaker 1: Baseball the major and football is number one spectator sport 624 00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:05,960 Speaker 1: for television and everything. But the problem is they have 625 00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:10,440 Speaker 1: a sixteen game season. It's eighty six games in the NBA, 626 00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:14,719 Speaker 1: A hundred and sixty eight and eighty something games in baseball. 627 00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:19,319 Speaker 1: I don't know. I think you know what I'm saying, 628 00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:26,560 Speaker 1: six to one hundred and sixty two sixteen at the 629 00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:31,680 Speaker 1: money's not there, okay, but my owners, Dough they clock it. Yeah, 630 00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:37,120 Speaker 1: they're getting money at TV contract him, endorsements. I think 631 00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:39,279 Speaker 1: Colin should play. I would love to see him back. 632 00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:41,800 Speaker 1: That would be great, all right. Coming up next to 633 00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:46,600 Speaker 1: thirty four after the Hour, guys, Beyonce says that visiting 634 00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:50,279 Speaker 1: countries in Africa Steve is always a very emotional experience 635 00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:54,960 Speaker 1: for her. We'll talk about that right after this you're listening. 636 00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:16,400 Speaker 1: On Monday, ABC released Beyonce's documentary called Making the Gift, 637 00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:19,160 Speaker 1: which gave fans behind the scene to look at the 638 00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:23,080 Speaker 1: making of her Lion King inspired album, It's her self 639 00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:26,680 Speaker 1: described love letter to Africa and the Long. In the 640 00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:30,360 Speaker 1: hour long special, Beyonce shared intimate, never before seen moments 641 00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:33,120 Speaker 1: with her family as cameras followed her and her husband 642 00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:36,840 Speaker 1: and their children and her mom on a trip to Africa. 643 00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:40,560 Speaker 1: Steve Beyonce says, visiting countries in Africa is always an 644 00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:43,480 Speaker 1: emotional experience for me. Feels like I'm making a peace. 645 00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:45,800 Speaker 1: I'm making peace with a part of me that's yeourning 646 00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:50,120 Speaker 1: for my ancestral connection.

Subject should I love 887 00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:24,399 Speaker 1: him or leave him? Dear Stephen Shirley. I met an 888 00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:27,440 Speaker 1: older guy and I was attracted to him, but played 889 00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:30,279 Speaker 1: hard to get. He begged me for a first date, 890 00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:33,279 Speaker 1: and I eventually agreed to go out with him. He 891 00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:35,120 Speaker 1: asked me to pick him up, and I didn't think 892 00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:37,080 Speaker 1: much about it since his house was on the way 893 00:56:37,120 --> 00:56:40,239 Speaker 1: to the restaurant. When I got to the house, he 894 00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:43,600 Speaker 1: came out, and so did a much older lady. He 895 00:56:43,719 --> 00:56:46,600 Speaker 1: got in my car and told me that was his mother. 896 00:56:46,840 --> 00:56:48,680 Speaker 1: That was his mom, and that he lived with her. 897 00:56:49,080 --> 00:56:51,640 Speaker 1: At this point I had an opportunity to tell him 898 00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:54,000 Speaker 1: that I was not interested, but I went out to 899 00:56:54,040 --> 00:56:56,960 Speaker 1: dinner with him anyway. At dinner, he told me that 900 00:56:56,960 --> 00:57:00,160 Speaker 1: he's a convicted felon, but that was years ago and 901 00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:02,600 Speaker 1: he's got a great job and a new life now. 902 00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:06,080 Speaker 1: I kept seeing this man and eventually went to his home, 903 00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:11,239 Speaker 1: well his mom's house, and saw how filthy his room was. 904 00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:14,640 Speaker 1: And I also noticed that his mom's yard was unkept 905 00:57:14,800 --> 00:57:18,240 Speaker 1: and there was trash lying around the driveway and porch there. 906 00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:22,040 Speaker 1: These were red flags, and I told him he should 907 00:57:22,080 --> 00:57:24,960 Speaker 1: do better at helping his mom out around the house. 908 00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:27,880 Speaker 1: Then I invited him to my house to meet my 909 00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:31,240 Speaker 1: two children. I know he talks really hood and street, 910 00:57:31,320 --> 00:57:33,280 Speaker 1: but I thought he would do better when he met 911 00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:37,080 Speaker 1: my children, he did not, and my kids asked him 912 00:57:37,720 --> 00:57:41,480 Speaker 1: why he was talking like a rapper. He kept commenting 913 00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:44,400 Speaker 1: on how nice I kept my house, and after the visit, 914 00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:48,960 Speaker 1: his conversations turned to us making a commitment. He suggested 915 00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:51,480 Speaker 1: moving in with me so we could be closer and 916 00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:54,320 Speaker 1: he could help me out around the house. I was 917 00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:57,960 Speaker 1: excited at first because I really liked this man, but 918 00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:00,760 Speaker 1: then I thought I was being nice eve and he 919 00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:04,560 Speaker 1: could just be using me although he has some character flaws. 920 00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:07,360 Speaker 1: Could I work on this fix er upper and be happy? 921 00:58:07,680 --> 00:58:10,520 Speaker 1: Or should I leave this man at his mama's house? 922 00:58:10,600 --> 00:58:16,040 Speaker 1: Please advise, run, run, run as far away from this 923 00:58:16,080 --> 00:58:18,720 Speaker 1: man as you possibly can. I mean, you got to 924 00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:22,040 Speaker 1: leave this man alone, please. I mean, when you see 925 00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:26,720 Speaker 1: red flags, don't ignore them. That's what red flags are for. Okay, 926 00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:29,200 Speaker 1: let's go through him. He lives with his mom, all right. 927 00:58:31,520 --> 00:58:36,479 Speaker 1: The yard is nasty, his room is nasty. He has 928 00:58:36,560 --> 00:58:38,920 Speaker 1: no car. He doesn't know how to be a good 929 00:58:39,040 --> 00:58:41,760 Speaker 1: role model in front of your children. And if he's 930 00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:44,360 Speaker 1: got such a nice job, in a great job and 931 00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:46,360 Speaker 1: all this stuff like you see in the letter, why 932 00:58:46,400 --> 00:58:49,520 Speaker 1: doesn't he save his money and get an apartment. There 933 00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:53,760 Speaker 1: was no discussion about that in this letter. And you 934 00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:56,400 Speaker 1: know it wasn't until after he saw your place, after 935 00:58:56,440 --> 00:58:58,840 Speaker 1: he came over there, that he started, you know, like 936 00:58:59,320 --> 00:59:02,520 Speaker 1: kind of pressure you to move in and to be committed. 937 00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:05,960 Speaker 1: He said he would help you around the house. Oh really, 938 00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:08,880 Speaker 1: you would help her, but you're not you. He'll help you, 939 00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:10,800 Speaker 1: but he's not going to help his own mom around 940 00:59:10,840 --> 00:59:12,919 Speaker 1: the house. He could at least clean up the yard, 941 00:59:13,120 --> 00:59:17,000 Speaker 1: and what about his room. Come on, I don't get this. 942 00:59:17,280 --> 00:59:21,120 Speaker 1: I say, don't let him in your house in this 943 00:59:21,200 --> 00:59:23,160 Speaker 1: kind of a way. Don't let him move in. Please, 944 00:59:23,240 --> 00:59:25,640 Speaker 1: this is not how you want to live. You have 945 00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:28,320 Speaker 1: two kids to think about. I think if he was 946 00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:31,480 Speaker 1: and you didn't mention you know, what he was incarcerated 947 00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:33,800 Speaker 1: for or anything like that. You just said he's out. 948 00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:35,920 Speaker 1: That was years ago, and he has a great job 949 00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:38,919 Speaker 1: in a new life now. But it just doesn't look 950 00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:41,560 Speaker 1: like it or seem like it. You know, yeah, he 951 00:59:41,600 --> 00:59:44,040 Speaker 1: could be using you, but I say no, it's too 952 00:59:44,080 --> 00:59:46,440 Speaker 1: soon to move in. Don't let him do it.

At this point I had 974 01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:26,120 Speaker 1: the opportunity to tell him I was not interesting. But 975 01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:33,560 Speaker 1: I went out to dinner with him anyway for what? Why? 976 01:01:34,440 --> 01:01:38,480 Speaker 1: Let me circle that.

You're listening, all right, Steve, 993 01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:10,760 Speaker 1: Come on, let's recap. Today's my recap can just be 994 01:03:10,960 --> 01:03:15,760 Speaker 1: a continuation because as I continue, I'll explain it. I'm 995 01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:18,240 Speaker 1: gonna show you everything that's wrong with this letter. This 996 01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:21,960 Speaker 1: letter is should I love him or leave him? Stephen Shirley. 997 01:03:22,040 --> 01:03:26,880 Speaker 1: I met an older guy. I circled that I was 998 01:03:26,920 --> 01:03:29,480 Speaker 1: attracting him, but I played hard to get. He begged 999 01:03:29,480 --> 01:03:31,520 Speaker 1: me for a first date. I eventually agreed to go 1000 01:03:31,560 --> 01:03:34,320 Speaker 1: out with him. He asked me to pick him up. 1001 01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:41,760 Speaker 1: I circled that everything I circle is screaming what I 1002 01:03:41,760 --> 01:03:43,600 Speaker 1: ain't think much about it since his house was on 1003 01:03:43,640 --> 01:03:45,160 Speaker 1: the way to the restaurant. When I got to the 1004 01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:48,959 Speaker 1: house and he came out, and so did a much 1005 01:03:49,080 --> 01:03:53,880 Speaker 1: older lady. I circled that, who is this old ass lady? 1006 01:03:55,800 --> 01:03:58,200 Speaker 1: He got in my car and told me that this 1007 01:03:58,360 --> 01:04:02,800 Speaker 1: was his mom and he lived with her. I circled that, 1008 01:04:03,400 --> 01:04:07,080 Speaker 1: let's go back, older guy, you had to pick him up, 1009 01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:10,760 Speaker 1: he's this old lady. Stay there, and you found out 1010 01:04:10,800 --> 01:04:13,919 Speaker 1: his mama. At this point I had an opportunity to 1011 01:04:13,920 --> 01:04:16,680 Speaker 1: tell him I was not interested, but I went out 1012 01:04:16,720 --> 01:04:20,360 Speaker 1: to dinner with him anyway. I circled that the question 1013 01:04:20,400 --> 01:04:23,600 Speaker 1: I'm begging everybody to ask yourself. Is why is you 1014 01:04:23,680 --> 01:04:26,160 Speaker 1: at dinner with this old ass man to stay at 1015 01:04:26,200 --> 01:04:28,320 Speaker 1: the house with his mama that you had to pick up? 1016 01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:32,320 Speaker 1: That's all I'm asked At dinner. He told me he 1017 01:04:32,400 --> 01:04:36,400 Speaker 1: was a convicted fellon. This whole letter is going to hell. 1018 01:04:38,040 --> 01:04:44,400 Speaker 1: But I kept seeing the man why. Eventually I went 1019 01:04:44,440 --> 01:04:47,400 Speaker 1: to his house where his mom's house. So I circled 1020 01:04:47,440 --> 01:04:49,920 Speaker 1: that because it took you two visits to get it 1021 01:04:49,960 --> 01:04:52,800 Speaker 1: the first time you pulled up. Next time you went 1022 01:04:52,840 --> 01:04:54,520 Speaker 1: to the damn house and found out it was a 1023 01:04:54,560 --> 01:04:57,160 Speaker 1: mama's house. Stretch yelled on in blue plates, leaning up 1024 01:04:57,160 --> 01:04:59,960 Speaker 1: against the wall on the fireplace, and had that big 1025 01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:03,479 Speaker 1: woodn't and spoon and fox set hanging on the damn wall, 1026 01:05:03,640 --> 01:05:07,640 Speaker 1: that picture of white Jesus, mar Luther King and John F.

These were 1031 01:05:25,520 --> 01:05:28,120 Speaker 1: all red flags, and I told him he should do 1032 01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:31,400 Speaker 1: better helping out his mom around. Now you know what 1033 01:05:31,600 --> 01:05:33,720 Speaker 1: judge Lyn told her told me one time on the 1034 01:05:33,760 --> 01:05:40,360 Speaker 1: show what she said, women should stop collecting red flags.

I told him he should do 1038 01:05:57,080 --> 01:06:00,040 Speaker 1: better helping his mom out around the house. Then I 1039 01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:02,080 Speaker 1: to him to my house to meet my two children. 1040 01:06:02,280 --> 01:06:07,080 Speaker 1: I circled this, why is he meeting your damn kids? 1041 01:06:07,800 --> 01:06:13,720 Speaker 1: Exactly what redeeming quality has he exhibited where you think 1042 01:06:13,720 --> 01:06:17,840 Speaker 1: it's time for him to meet your damn kids?

Yeah, don't don't. Don't come in 1268 01:22:24,680 --> 01:22:29,240 Speaker 1: my house handling my daughter. That's you can say that 1269 01:22:29,280 --> 01:22:32,120 Speaker 1: because it's your house and a man, don't don't be 1270 01:22:32,160 --> 01:22:34,000 Speaker 1: over the hug. You know nobody when you and missed 1271 01:22:34,120 --> 01:22:36,000 Speaker 1: my house. House.

Know 1273 01:22:39,920 --> 01:22:42,760 Speaker 1: what they do outside the house, it's not because you're 1274 01:22:42,800 --> 01:22:44,240 Speaker 1: not letting them do it in the house. That's what 1275 01:22:44,280 --> 01:22:47,920 Speaker 1: people have misconception of they think that in parenting, if 1276 01:22:47,960 --> 01:22:49,679 Speaker 1: you don't allow them to do it in the house, 1277 01:22:49,680 --> 01:22:52,320 Speaker 1: when they get out the house, if you don't let 1278 01:22:52,360 --> 01:22:53,599 Speaker 1: them do it in the house, when they get out 1279 01:22:53,640 --> 01:22:55,439 Speaker 1: the house, they're gonna do it.

They ain't out in the 1283 01:23:01,720 --> 01:23:05,759 Speaker 1: streets drinking and smoking. Yes they are. If they're drinking 1284 01:23:05,800 --> 01:23:08,040 Speaker 1: a smoking weed in your house, they're drinking a smoking 1285 01:23:08,080 --> 01:23:10,840 Speaker 1: weed on the street. You be a fool to allow 1286 01:23:10,840 --> 01:23:13,040 Speaker 1: it to happen in your house. You gotta have some 1287 01:23:13,160 --> 01:23:16,920 Speaker 1: type of rules, man, to give them.

Right after 1292 01:23:31,439 --> 01:23:53,240 Speaker 1: this you're listening to all right, here we go, last 1293 01:23:53,280 --> 01:23:59,800 Speaker 1: break of the day, and um, Steve, yeah, you're this 1294 01:23:59,880 --> 01:24:01,559 Speaker 1: is the time you get kind of quiet and in 1295 01:24:01,560 --> 01:24:05,080 Speaker 1: your pensive moment because it's almost time for your closing remarks. 1296 01:24:05,080 --> 01:24:10,840 Speaker 1: But it's been a good day. Rights, it's an it's 1297 01:24:10,880 --> 01:24:13,400 Speaker 1: good you know these closing remarks of late Man. I 1298 01:24:13,439 --> 01:24:16,599 Speaker 1: just want to kind of explain it to everybody. What 1299 01:24:16,640 --> 01:24:20,600 Speaker 1: I've decided to do is, uh, just share with you 1300 01:24:20,720 --> 01:24:24,880 Speaker 1: some experiences that I've gained uh and and a lot 1301 01:24:24,920 --> 01:24:28,680 Speaker 1: of it has to do with spirituality. Now let me 1302 01:24:28,760 --> 01:24:32,439 Speaker 1: let me just start by saying this. I'm not a 1303 01:24:32,760 --> 01:24:38,559 Speaker 1: very religious person per se. Uh. I think I'm really 1304 01:24:38,600 --> 01:24:44,599 Speaker 1: a spiritual person, but religious it kind of comes with 1305 01:24:44,640 --> 01:24:50,280 Speaker 1: a different connotation. I don't claim to be perfect. It 1306 01:24:50,320 --> 01:24:53,240 Speaker 1: doesn't matter to me what church you go to, what 1307 01:24:53,400 --> 01:24:57,400 Speaker 1: mosque you go to, what synagogue you go to. It 1308 01:24:57,400 --> 01:25:01,920 Speaker 1: doesn't matter to me. It's not my business. And I've 1309 01:25:02,000 --> 01:25:04,639 Speaker 1: chosen to be that way. And I think that God 1310 01:25:04,800 --> 01:25:08,160 Speaker 1: is okay with me being that way, because my message 1311 01:25:08,360 --> 01:25:12,400 Speaker 1: is to try to convince or to help people understand 1312 01:25:12,439 --> 01:25:16,439 Speaker 1: that having a relationship with God is really cool. It's 1313 01:25:16,439 --> 01:25:21,760 Speaker 1: the relationship you want with God. Your choice of religion 1314 01:25:22,080 --> 01:25:25,280 Speaker 1: is none of my business. I have a lot of 1315 01:25:25,400 --> 01:25:29,960 Speaker 1: Muslim friends. I know some great Muslim people around the world. 1316 01:25:30,040 --> 01:25:32,760 Speaker 1: I know some great Christian people around the world. I 1317 01:25:32,920 --> 01:25:36,200 Speaker 1: know great Catholics around the world. I know great Jewish 1318 01:25:36,240 --> 01:25:41,799 Speaker 1: people protesting whatever. I know some really really cool people, 1319 01:25:42,800 --> 01:25:46,040 Speaker 1: and I just decided that my mission is not to 1320 01:25:46,080 --> 01:25:50,400 Speaker 1: convince you to see it my way. My mission is 1321 01:25:50,439 --> 01:25:53,880 Speaker 1: to try to help you understand that having a relationship 1322 01:25:53,920 --> 01:26:00,680 Speaker 1: with God, it's critical for you. It's necessary serry for you. 1323 01:26:02,080 --> 01:26:05,360 Speaker 1: You know, I posted something the other day on my 1324 01:26:05,439 --> 01:26:08,559 Speaker 1: Instagram and it was a picture of a warrior with 1325 01:26:08,720 --> 01:26:11,920 Speaker 1: his head bent and he was on his knee and 1326 01:26:11,960 --> 01:26:14,160 Speaker 1: he had a sword in his hand and a shield. 1327 01:26:14,840 --> 01:26:20,080 Speaker 1: And on this Instagram post I posted it, and if 1328 01:26:20,080 --> 01:26:22,640 Speaker 1: you go on my Instagram you can see it from yesterday, 1329 01:26:23,320 --> 01:26:25,880 Speaker 1: and this man is on his knees with his head bowed, 1330 01:26:25,920 --> 01:26:29,040 Speaker 1: with his sword in his hand and armor and shield on. 1331 01:26:29,160 --> 01:26:32,679 Speaker 1: And he said, the devil saw me with my head 1332 01:26:32,800 --> 01:26:37,280 Speaker 1: down and thought he'd won until I said, a man, 1333 01:26:38,320 --> 01:26:41,240 Speaker 1: So what the paint was saying is my head ain't down. 1334 01:26:41,320 --> 01:26:45,920 Speaker 1: I'm actually praying. And so after I sent that, you know, 1335 01:26:45,960 --> 01:26:49,040 Speaker 1: I was just reading the comments, which which I know better. 1336 01:26:49,720 --> 01:26:52,880 Speaker 1: But the second comment and the capture under it was 1337 01:26:52,960 --> 01:26:59,000 Speaker 1: prayer works. The second comment under their third comment was no, 1338 01:26:59,160 --> 01:27:03,960 Speaker 1: it don't. And you just go, wow, wait a minute, man, 1339 01:27:05,520 --> 01:27:09,840 Speaker 1: it don't matter what you say, some people gonna they 1340 01:27:09,920 --> 01:27:12,519 Speaker 1: just dared to counter. But I don't do it for 1341 01:27:12,560 --> 01:27:14,800 Speaker 1: those people anymore. I do it for those people who 1342 01:27:14,920 --> 01:27:16,800 Speaker 1: trying to get it. And if you're trying to get 1343 01:27:16,840 --> 01:27:20,479 Speaker 1: a relationship with God, it's important for you to understand something. 1344 01:27:21,280 --> 01:27:24,400 Speaker 1: You know what you gotta understand something. Let me sprain 1345 01:27:24,479 --> 01:27:26,800 Speaker 1: to you what I learned about favor because my life 1346 01:27:26,840 --> 01:27:29,599 Speaker 1: has a lot of favor on it. But I know 1347 01:27:29,680 --> 01:27:31,839 Speaker 1: a lot of people who got favor on their life. 1348 01:27:32,560 --> 01:27:36,920 Speaker 1: Somebody told me one time, favor ain't fair. Favor is 1349 01:27:37,000 --> 01:27:41,160 Speaker 1: not fair. If favor was fairly giving out, if it 1350 01:27:41,360 --> 01:27:44,479 Speaker 1: was favor was giving out family, none of us would 1351 01:27:44,520 --> 01:27:49,760 Speaker 1: get it. Oh, favor ain't fair because if favor was 1352 01:27:49,840 --> 01:27:53,240 Speaker 1: given out to the just or the righteous, if that's 1353 01:27:53,280 --> 01:27:56,200 Speaker 1: how fair was passed out, would none of us get it. 1354 01:27:57,680 --> 01:28:00,960 Speaker 1: Favor ain't fair. That's why you can look over somebody's 1355 01:28:01,000 --> 01:28:02,800 Speaker 1: life and you can judge them and say, well, they 1356 01:28:02,800 --> 01:28:05,200 Speaker 1: ain't all this, but they got this. That's cause favor 1357 01:28:05,280 --> 01:28:08,120 Speaker 1: ain't fair. But let me show you what what favor do. 1358 01:28:08,120 --> 01:28:10,240 Speaker 1: Do you know how much favor gods give to you? 1359 01:28:10,400 --> 01:28:13,680 Speaker 1: To show you that favor ain't fair, Watch this him. 1360 01:28:13,840 --> 01:28:16,040 Speaker 1: Have you ever woke up in the morning and didn't 1361 01:28:16,040 --> 01:28:19,280 Speaker 1: thank God for waking you up in the morning, but 1362 01:28:19,360 --> 01:28:22,880 Speaker 1: he woke you up anyway? That was favor. Let me 1363 01:28:22,920 --> 01:28:25,080 Speaker 1: ask you a question, because I hardly ever do this 1364 01:28:25,439 --> 01:28:28,439 Speaker 1: when I lay down at night. I have never I 1365 01:28:28,520 --> 01:28:32,160 Speaker 1: don't recall asking God to wake me up in the morning. 1366 01:28:32,600 --> 01:28:35,519 Speaker 1: But you know what he did for sixty two years, 1367 01:28:35,800 --> 01:28:38,559 Speaker 1: he didn't woke me up in the morning. You know 1368 01:28:38,600 --> 01:28:42,160 Speaker 1: what that was? That was some favor. Favor ain't fail 1369 01:28:42,280 --> 01:28:44,320 Speaker 1: because guess what, I ain't even asked to be awaken. 1370 01:28:45,760 --> 01:28:48,360 Speaker 1: I have left the house without thinking him for waking 1371 01:28:48,400 --> 01:28:51,920 Speaker 1: me up. But he keep waking me up, and he 1372 01:28:52,040 --> 01:28:54,400 Speaker 1: keep laying me down to sleep, and he keep giving 1373 01:28:54,439 --> 01:28:58,160 Speaker 1: me another chance, and he keeps me alive when it 1374 01:28:58,320 --> 01:29:01,120 Speaker 1: seems like I should have been gone. He holds me 1375 01:29:01,200 --> 01:29:06,200 Speaker 1: when I feel so alone. He corrects mistakes that I've made, 1376 01:29:06,320 --> 01:29:09,600 Speaker 1: on decisions I've made. He's correcting him from me. You 1377 01:29:09,640 --> 01:29:14,040 Speaker 1: know what that was, y'all? That was favor. Every time 1378 01:29:14,160 --> 01:29:17,439 Speaker 1: you take a breath that you have no control over, 1379 01:29:17,720 --> 01:29:22,519 Speaker 1: can I tell you something that's favor? That's why you 1380 01:29:24,040 --> 01:29:27,479 Speaker 1: you hear old people talk about grace and favor, and 1381 01:29:27,640 --> 01:29:30,719 Speaker 1: old people say, all I want is a little more grace, 1382 01:29:32,439 --> 01:29:35,599 Speaker 1: because great, you can't earn grace, you can't earn favor. 1383 01:29:36,720 --> 01:29:42,360 Speaker 1: It's just given. Favor is given to the just, Favor 1384 01:29:42,560 --> 01:29:46,520 Speaker 1: is given to the unjust. Favor is given to the grateful. 1385 01:29:47,160 --> 01:29:49,960 Speaker 1: Favor is given to people that don't ever say thank you. 1386 01:29:50,840 --> 01:29:55,160 Speaker 1: All of us have benefited from his favor. What do 1387 01:29:55,280 --> 01:29:59,160 Speaker 1: you think would happen if you form the closer relationship 1388 01:29:59,200 --> 01:30:03,400 Speaker 1: with him? Well, tomorrow, I tell you what ha happened, 1389 01:30:03,680 --> 01:30:05,960 Speaker 1: because it happened to me. I just want to share 1390 01:30:06,000 --> 01:30:09,120 Speaker 1: that with you.
