So good to see everybody here.

17
00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:42.040
We got Rebel in the background making sure we're looking

18
00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:44.719
sharp and we staying on our toes.

19
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:46.840
And that's one thing. You don't mess with your I

20
00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:47.519
T person.

21
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:49.640
You don't mess with your I person, and you don't

22
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:51.200
mess with your fiscal person.

23
00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:54.280
You don't mess with the CFO. Boy was cutting the checks.

24
00:01:54.319 --> 00:01:56.680
But anyway, before I go any further, let's pray, Lord,

25
00:01:56.719 --> 00:01:58.879
we just thank you and we praise you for tonight.

26
00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:02.359
We asked that you have your way, unlike ever before,

27
00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:05.359
the world is in need of you right now, unlike

28
00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:06.159
ever before.

29
00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:08.159
Please govern our.

30
00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:12.560
Minds and our mouths, and our conversations and our reflections

31
00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:16.400
and our motivations as only you can. As always, we

32
00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:18.840
get behind the cross, Lord, and we let you lead,

33
00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:22.639
You take over. You become the line leader. Tonight, you

34
00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:26.879
lead the discussion. We will forever faithfully follow you. All

35
00:02:26.919 --> 00:02:30.400
this and more, we ask in Jesus' name, Amen and amen.

36
00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:33.560
And before I go any further, I would like to

37
00:02:33.639 --> 00:02:36.240
just have a moment of silence for a lot of

38
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:40.400
loss has taken place since we last were together, on

39
00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:44.319
a major scale, on minor scales, just next door down

40
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:47.159
the street. So let's just have a moment of silence

41
00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:50.280
for families who have experienced a loss, and people who

42
00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:54.840
not only families, but even each other lost in friendships

43
00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:57.680
and relationships just within this last week.

44
00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:11.280
We thank you God, thank you, thank you guys for

45
00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:15.000
doing that. Where's the audience out there? Where are our viewers?

46
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:16.000
Where are our listeners?

47
00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:18.840
Come on up, check in, check in, one at a time,

48
00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:21.840
all groups of y'all or whatever. I've been really thinking

49
00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:26.719
about y'all this week as I watched different segments of

50
00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:31.360
news and everything, and you know, I had a moment

51
00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:33.360
where I had to sit back and say, oh my god.

52
00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:35.919
The one thing I never really wanted to do was

53
00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:38.680
get into politics. I don't want to talk about the

54
00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:40.919
red or the blue. I want to talk about my country,

55
00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:43.719
the red, white and blue. That's what I want back.

56
00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:46.400
And that's you know, what are we learning from this now?

57
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:49.000
You know where are we going now? And just before

58
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:51.120
we came on, you know, Rebel made a good point.

59
00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:54.080
You know, what do we return back to? You know,

60
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:58.120
I keep saying I want my country back, and it

61
00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:00.479
made me stop and think, you know, yeah, yeah, back

62
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:01.759
to what though?

63
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:03.360
I want us to be.

64
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:06.120
I want I want you know, factory work, I want

65
00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:09.520
businesses back. That's my main thing. That's what I want

66
00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:13.599
that I want. I don't want us having to depend

67
00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:16.839
on any other country but our own, just dig for

68
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:18.959
the wells, to dig for the oil, because we could

69
00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:21.279
control stuff and nobody could tell us what we get

70
00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:25.040
the price things at and things like that. So that's

71
00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:28.600
The main thing I want back is I want companies.

72
00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:30.920
And they're coming. They're coming. It even hal the k

73
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:32.600
thank you Tennessee is in the.

74
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:37.279
House and tonight as you can see, our topic and

75
00:04:37.319 --> 00:04:40.399
again we we this topic was decided upon, you know,

76
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:46.000
and in August before every before the sky literally fell out.

77
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:49.480
And this is the day of democracy when all rights matter,

78
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:53.040
and you have the right to have your own opinion.

79
00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:54.680
You have the right.

80
00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:58.439
To to make decisions about your life and follow up

81
00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:01.199
on those decisions. You have a right to own up

82
00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:03.279
the things, take accountability.

83
00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:04.519
You have that right.

84
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:08.160
And if you've stayed where you are and I'm over

85
00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:11.240
here and everybody's over there, you're over there. If you're

86
00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:14.040
doing exercising that and you'd being the best person, you

87
00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:15.920
have the right to be the best person that you

88
00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:18.680
can be. And if you need help getting there, you

89
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:22.040
need help executing that, then go get help. We told you,

90
00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:24.360
We told about we talked to you about resources, we

91
00:05:24.439 --> 00:05:27.759
talked about self care, We've talked about all of this.

92
00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:30.680
This was all leading up to this to where we

93
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:34.199
are now. This is all this getting to know yourself.

94
00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:34.720
If you if you.

95
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:37.199
Really go back and just kind of reminisce on some

96
00:05:37.240 --> 00:05:40.199
of the shows, the podcasts, the discussions we had, the

97
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:44.160
guests that we had, getting yourself together, finding out who

98
00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:46.319
you are? What is it that if you had it

99
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:49.160
your way, what would you be doing today? And now

100
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:52.680
we're here. It's not a soft land, but we're here

101
00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:56.959
now and hopefully perfectly you brings together in your mind,

102
00:05:57.000 --> 00:05:59.680
you've determined, you've made up who you're gonna be. Are

103
00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:02.399
you going to walk life out? Who's gonna be in

104
00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:05.160
your life, who's not gonna be in your life? Hopefully

105
00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:08.600
you you've made those decisions now because you don't want,

106
00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:12.839
ever want to be in a place where you're forced to.

107
00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:13.759
Make those decision.

108
00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:17.240
And now you're gonna you're gonna be forced because the

109
00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:22.319
lack of I've been several places like uh oh not

110
00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:23.360
so much my bank.

111
00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:23.920
Thank God.

112
00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:26.120
Be the best person you can be, and remember we

113
00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:28.439
all need to stand together. You're right, missy, this is

114
00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:31.959
a time now. It's not about red and blue. It's

115
00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:35.040
about what do you stand for? And if you've got

116
00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:39.120
anger issue, you've got things that just you know, whatever

117
00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:41.720
that is, you need, you need help, You need to

118
00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:44.639
go talk it out with somebody. But you you do

119
00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:48.480
not have the right to spew it on me. You

120
00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:50.839
left your house angry. I have nothing to do. I

121
00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:54.439
don't know you, you don't know me. Stay there, don't

122
00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:57.240
invite me into your lane. I'm not inviting you into

123
00:06:57.279 --> 00:07:00.560
mind I'm still doing my I'm doing new normal, so

124
00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:03.920
my mindset it's different. This is the.

125
00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:05.920
Land of the free and home of the brave. That's

126
00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:06.720
what I want.

127
00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:10.319
I want bravery, I want mannerisms. Now I want you

128
00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:13.000
to I want that guy to open up that car

129
00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:13.759
door for you.

130
00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:17.360
Very true. Thank you, Mickey. Hey, you know I want

131
00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:21.959

bless you. Thank you so much. That's that's what we

133
00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:25.279
need to go.

134
00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:30.600
And more importantly, I thought about this today that I really,

135
00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:32.040
I really need you all.

136
00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:33.879

137
00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:36.759
Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, I really need you

138
00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:37.879
to make a run for him.

139
00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:39.519
I really need you to.

140
00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:43.279
Make a run for him, like because your life do

141
00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:46.480
depend on it. We don't have no guarantees right now.

142
00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:51.279
Only in Him we have guarantees. My phone locked me

143
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:54.360
out a few days ago and I called it, you know,

144
00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:58.519
my my, my, my gen zers here, my babies because

145
00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:00.920
theyin't know how to they they can make a way

146
00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:02.639
out of no where. And they were both on it

147
00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:05.279
and they're like, MA, nothing we can do. You're gonna

148
00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:07.759
have to call them manufacturer. And I call them manufacturer

149
00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:09.920
and they scrubbed my phone everything.

150
00:08:10.360 --> 00:08:12.959
If I thought I backed up.

151
00:08:12.920 --> 00:08:17.160
Stuff, I lost pictures, I lost all kinds of stuff.

152
00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:17.680
Information.

153
00:08:17.839 --> 00:08:20.839
I still had some folks information, but other folks I didn't.

154
00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:24.199
I couldn't even I'm telling you, I never I've not

155
00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:29.560
had the feelings that I had this past weekend since

156
00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:32.039
seven years ago when I was in the hospital and

157
00:08:32.080 --> 00:08:35.559
I woke up from a coma, and it's it's not

158
00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:39.159
a good feeling when you your life is in this phone,

159
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:44.080
your information, what's your go to is my balancing, you know,

160
00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:47.320
my my jigsaw puzzles that I do, and my difference

161
00:08:47.399 --> 00:08:49.200
is app that I do and I go and find

162
00:08:49.240 --> 00:08:52.240
the differences and stuff. When they finally got my phone

163
00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:56.480
back on and going, it's like a new phone. Literally,

164
00:08:56.799 --> 00:08:59.039
I don't I can't find my old jigsaw possle. I

165
00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:02.039
can't find my Bible but that I had and what

166
00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:04.639
I can highlight, you know, the scriptures in and and

167
00:09:04.679 --> 00:09:07.120
stuff I'm like, oh my god. And I'm sitting here

168
00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:10.200
trying to find pictures and I'm asking the kids, you know,

169
00:09:10.440 --> 00:09:12.080
send me some of the pictures of us, you know,

170
00:09:12.519 --> 00:09:14.440
together and stuff so I could do and I'm like,

171
00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:14.919
oh my god.

172
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:17.120
So I'm backing up. I'm backing up, you know.

173
00:09:17.679 --> 00:09:22.759
And it was a very uncomfortable feeling. I didn't I

174
00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:28.480
was I felt lost me over this phone. And I

175
00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:32.480
did not realize until this was all happening how much

176
00:09:32.519 --> 00:09:35.240
I depend on the phone and that it's supposed to work.

177
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:36.919
I had to go to the bank and help.

178
00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:40.000
They had to help me get past gos passwords and

179
00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:43.080
I'll get the app back on. I mean, it's just

180
00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:45.240
I'm running around, Okay, what else do I need to do?

181
00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:45.600
Okay?

182
00:09:45.799 --> 00:09:47.039
And then I was like, oh my god, I got

183
00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:49.080
to get all my you know, the banking information I

184
00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:51.279
gotta get and I you know, I had to do

185
00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:53.679
in this silence because I was.

186
00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:56.279
Really a wreck. I really was a wreck.

187
00:09:56.720 --> 00:09:59.960
Is it not backed up in the cloud?

188
00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:00.559
Was it not?

189
00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:02.360
I didn't use the cloud. Then I found.

190
00:10:02.360 --> 00:10:03.480
Doesn't have a phone.

191
00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:05.200
Yeah, I don't have an ice.

192
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:13.399
I don't have an I I don't either. But so

193
00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:18.399
but some stuff when I switched. I think it might

194
00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:22.600
be in a cloud or Google something. I think that

195
00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:25.120
might be a try. I'm not sure we searched.

196
00:10:25.480 --> 00:10:28.519
I don't in there because and then I got the

197
00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:31.360
email from my eye clouds and you, oh or your

198
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:32.399
your counsel will be closed.

199
00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:38.600
I said I had eye cloud. I didn't know. And

200
00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:40.440
then I called myself. I said I have to pay

201
00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:41.080
for it.

202
00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:45.559
He said, yeah, well I ain't paying for nothing since

203
00:10:45.559 --> 00:10:46.279
I've had the pall.

204
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:48.240
So I guess I don't have the cloud. But they

205
00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:50.080
asked me that on your account.

206
00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:55.759
So what so see is this these both that I

207
00:10:55.799 --> 00:10:58.200
thank God for my children because and we've got that

208
00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:00.919
gift of humor because I had to laugh once and

209
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:02.879
start laughing, and they looked at me and shook their

210
00:11:02.879 --> 00:11:04.440
heads because these two have the iPhone.

211
00:11:04.559 --> 00:11:06.840
See they tricked me. Let me tell you about children.

212
00:11:06.840 --> 00:11:07.480
They tricked me.

213
00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:10.000
You know, we went, I'm thinking I'm doing something big.

214
00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:12.360
Oh we're gonna do the family playing. Okay, well we're going.

215
00:11:12.679 --> 00:11:15.279
And next thing, I know, these two little folks over here, Oh,

216
00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:17.879
we're gonna get this phone here. And I'm like, okay,

217
00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:21.639
I'm not thinking just dollar and I got the android,

218
00:11:21.720 --> 00:11:24.519
and these people here in another world they got all

219
00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:29.000
kinds ofs and whistles and features and stuff, and it's

220
00:11:29.039 --> 00:11:31.600
on the family too much.

221
00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:34.200
I'll stick with the android.

222
00:11:34.279 --> 00:11:40.039
I'm sorry, I understand it.

223
00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:47.279
And actually it will be better for you guys, especially.

224
00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:56.600
Because we're all right because like me, these old see

225
00:11:56.639 --> 00:11:58.440
you old people, see by your.

226
00:11:58.360 --> 00:11:59.200
People, your age.

227
00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:02.120
I'm like, you know you're gonna get here one day,

228
00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:04.559
you're gonna walk this awn.

229
00:12:04.919 --> 00:12:08.120
But she talks about us old. We're old. That's older,

230
00:12:08.720 --> 00:12:09.879
we're old and.

231
00:12:10.639 --> 00:12:13.759
The words of Richard, and where's Richard pride? You didn't

232
00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:20.320
get old? Being no food? Though we did something right.

233
00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:26.720
I'm like, oh, Lord, have mercy. And I'm like okay, okay.

234
00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:29.039
Then I'm like, God, do you? And then I looked down,

235
00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:30.879
like I said, I finally realized I've got it.

236
00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:33.600
It's like I've got a new phone because it updated

237
00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:34.799
all whatever.

238
00:12:34.679 --> 00:12:36.399
Needed to be up, whatever that was.

239
00:12:36.840 --> 00:12:39.559
It's I'm looking at this like what what is this?

240
00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:42.200
The colors are different, you know, and stuff like that.

241
00:12:42.200 --> 00:12:44.200
I mean, I take great pride in it. And then

242
00:12:44.240 --> 00:12:45.039
my ring toes.

243
00:12:45.080 --> 00:12:45.840
I had to go in there and.

244
00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:48.120
Get all them everybody ring toe so I know who's

245
00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:50.799
calling me? And should I run to the phone to

246
00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:55.840
get it? If you got that ring ring, I don't.

247
00:12:55.879 --> 00:12:58.440
I really don't want to talk to you, so I'll.

248
00:12:58.279 --> 00:12:59.559
Hear you from across the.

249
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:05.080
So I got together yesterday. Yes, I just sat and

250
00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:07.879
I'm just getting it. I miss him so much that

251
00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:10.240
brought a tear to my eye. You miss who Mickey?

252
00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:14.159
You're phone, Mickey, tell us who you're referring to. But

253
00:13:14.559 --> 00:13:18.120
I was lost. I was lost, and.

254
00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:20.240
I'm like, oh God, And then I think I asked.

255
00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:23.519
I don't know if I asked Alicia or or should

256
00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:25.440
I go get a new phone? Should I just go

257
00:13:25.440 --> 00:13:27.519
ahead and just get a new phone? But then I

258
00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:30.360
look down and it's like a new phone in my hand.

259
00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:32.480
You know, And I.

260
00:13:34.399 --> 00:13:37.759
Didn't like that feeling. God help us if we if

261
00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:40.039
we go dark, you know, what are we gonna do with?

262
00:13:40.039 --> 00:13:40.759
Thank goodness, Like.

263
00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:43.879
I'm around people in my house that I enjoy being around,

264
00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:46.480
and you know, we'll make it. We're gonna be all right.

265
00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:50.759
Richard Pryor, Oh, yes, thank you, Micky. Yeah, Richard Pryor

266
00:13:50.840 --> 00:13:54.759
was well, yes, he really was. He was one of

267
00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:55.200
a kind.

268
00:13:55.600 --> 00:13:59.440
So don't let stuff like that catch you off. Guard.

269
00:13:59.799 --> 00:14:02.360
Always have a plan. Go ahead and back up your phone,

270
00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:05.279
back up your information. I always delete stuff out of mind,

271
00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:08.960
just go ahead. And some people are gone and I'm

272
00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:09.399
on I.

273
00:14:09.399 --> 00:14:12.320
Don't even know how to get them. And I've got

274
00:14:12.440 --> 00:14:13.639
to glad I was.

275
00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:19.039
I'm you might need to be. I mean, I'm trying

276
00:14:19.080 --> 00:14:24.360
to you know what I mean. You know what I mean.

277
00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:28.360
If I'm flying under the weather, she just under the radar,

278
00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:28.600
you know.

279
00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:33.279
Trade But you're right, Trey, And I try to delete

280
00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:34.399
people ahead of time.

281
00:14:34.720 --> 00:14:36.480
But there's some folks that's out of my phone now

282
00:14:36.799 --> 00:14:39.879
I can't read you. I'm you know, okay. I wish

283
00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:46.840

284
00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:48.559
and we we have to accept that.

285
00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:56.679
I've accepted, yeah, but you know, and just.

286
00:14:56.559 --> 00:14:58.639
Being able to do what did you say?

287
00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:01.519
I said, gotta gotta go.

288
00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:06.480
Right down right now, get ready to get ready to

289
00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:08.240
get ready.

290
00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:11.799
Oh my god, oh jesus.

291
00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:18.240
Yeah, it's been real though. We've had a good time,

292
00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:21.000
we've had a good run. They want to reach out

293
00:15:21.039 --> 00:15:24.159
to you, whether the number is saved or not. They're

294
00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:28.159
gonna find me right. They're gonna realize I haven't heard

295
00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:30.879
from them, you know.

296
00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:35.080
I don't have your number anymore, and I have.

297
00:15:34.960 --> 00:15:37.759
To put a question mark, like I don't know who

298
00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:39.799
you are.

299
00:15:39.919 --> 00:15:42.679
I don't recognize the numbers. Not store. You're not telling

300
00:15:42.799 --> 00:15:43.159
the store.

301
00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:45.720
No, I'm not, I'm not. I'm not lying at all.

302
00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:48.039
It wasn't my fault. I didn't do it on purpose

303
00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:48.559
this time.

304
00:15:49.200 --> 00:15:49.960
Not this time.

305
00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:53.399
I'm really telling you.

306
00:15:53.559 --> 00:16:01.240
There was a lot about me. See, I say the

307
00:16:01.240 --> 00:16:04.600
things y'all be thinking. See, I'm coming off, I come

308
00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:07.639
off this ledge. I say the things that y'all were thinking.

309
00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:09.879
You just don't have the heart to say stuff. But

310
00:16:09.919 --> 00:16:13.799
I'd be like, he didn't coffee, Well who are you?

311
00:16:13.840 --> 00:16:15.159
But I know you know you can.

312
00:16:16.759 --> 00:16:19.159
You can get away with something and greg and then.

313
00:16:20.399 --> 00:16:25.919
Everybody doesn't put it so eloquently like you.

314
00:16:24.360 --> 00:16:26.960
And be ready to laugh, you know. And then I

315
00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:29.440
give you a warning. I'll say, like, here my heart.

316
00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:33.080
That's a warning because you're not gonna like what say

317
00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:34.080
something here my heart?

318
00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:36.559
That that little saying, well, judge my heart, not my

319
00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:38.320
mind or whatever. I don't know what that.

320
00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:41.440
Means to my hand, not my heart.

321
00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:43.399
And I'd be like, and.

322
00:16:43.480 --> 00:16:45.240
Every time I had a neighbor that used to say that,

323
00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:51.360
I'd be like, give me a minute, not.

324
00:16:51.399 --> 00:16:54.559
A Florida thing. But we got people in Florida that brought.

325
00:16:54.360 --> 00:16:57.600
That saying with them, and I'd be like, oh, you're lying,

326
00:16:58.600 --> 00:16:59.200
it's a lie.

327
00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:03.399
You like, well, you got to say all that. I

328
00:17:03.399 --> 00:17:06.440
don't know about to charge it to my anyway.

329
00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:08.559
I have learned a lot of sayings down there.

330
00:17:09.119 --> 00:17:11.279
Yes, we got some stuff. We got some sayings in

331
00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:14.000
here in Florida. Yeah we do, you know, but that's

332
00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:16.759
from the Native Floridians. You can tell us natives because

333
00:17:16.759 --> 00:17:19.400
we say certain things, you know. Yeah, and it's real

334
00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:22.279
and it makes sense, you know, the elderly. I was

335
00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:24.680
just thinking about that. I said that to someone that old.

336
00:17:24.759 --> 00:17:28.039
I was talking to Pastor Washington earlier out of Tennessee,

337
00:17:28.079 --> 00:17:30.759
and I said, you remember how the Saints used to say,

338
00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:33.039
you know, I'm in my right Oh no, it's.

339
00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:35.160
A stranger on the phone. I'm sorry. That was earlier.

340
00:17:35.400 --> 00:17:37.119
I said, you know how the older people you say,

341
00:17:37.319 --> 00:17:39.240
I'm in my right mind. I got the activity of

342
00:17:39.279 --> 00:17:42.799
my limbs. But I used to laugh at that, like, yeah.

343
00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:47.920
You and you're right by.

344
00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:50.119
They got that, And I would always have to think

345
00:17:50.160 --> 00:17:52.519
of because I never knew who would say it. And

346
00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:54.759
it would come on the right field. And I'm like

347
00:17:55.319 --> 00:17:57.759
to see. And I'm a therapist, so you can't talk

348
00:17:57.759 --> 00:18:00.519
about mental stuff with me because I've been looking at you.

349
00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:04.200
You're in your right mind, you know now I said it.

350
00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:08.000
I can say that when I'm having brain fog, and

351
00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:10.720
I'm like, oh, yeah, I'm in my right mind, and

352
00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:12.759
I have the activity of my limbs. I was able

353
00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:15.440
to get up and start walking and and go through

354
00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:17.319
these certain Yeah, I say it a lot.

355
00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:19.799
Now it's my mantor now I get it.

356
00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:22.680
I don't need to find you when you're saying some

357
00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:24.160
of the stuff, because I would lose it.

358
00:18:24.480 --> 00:18:27.279
I have no coup. I'd lose it.

359
00:18:27.680 --> 00:18:30.400
I'd be laughing, not trying to be funny. But it's

360
00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:32.240
the way you say it's great.

361
00:18:35.279 --> 00:18:40.160
Like I'm lost. I'm like, see, because I can make

362
00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:40.799
people laugh.

363
00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:44.240
I think I'm guilty of this. Don't you try to

364
00:18:44.279 --> 00:18:46.799
be funny? And if you don't have the gift of humor,

365
00:18:46.960 --> 00:18:51.759
please we covered for you, especially if I have to

366
00:18:51.759 --> 00:18:54.160
say that like did you did.

367
00:18:54.119 --> 00:18:58.440
You say that? Did you? Or you said the anybody?

368
00:18:58.480 --> 00:19:01.799
Oh that's so funny. I'm like, I'm lost, I'm lost,

369
00:19:02.200 --> 00:19:05.519
and I hope I can make it back. I just

370
00:19:05.599 --> 00:19:07.920
hope I'm make it back. But I'd be like, yeah, so.

371
00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:10.480
My face tells a lot of stuff, you know, and

372
00:19:10.519 --> 00:19:14.039
then I mess with people, and you know, I mess

373
00:19:14.119 --> 00:19:16.119
with people because like I was part of the PTA,

374

00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:29.200
council she always liked it, just just she.

378
00:19:29.240 --> 00:19:31.279
Thought she was right and everything she said.

00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:33.960

No, don't be playing with me, Thank goodness. She she

403
00:20:38.759 --> 00:20:40.720

404
00:20:40.759 --> 00:20:42.160
So that's even good. Let's leave it there.

405
00:20:42.440 --> 00:20:45.039
But yeah, a lot of my students used to say,

406
00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:46.680
and people would say to me, miss Gray, you need

407
00:20:46.720 --> 00:20:48.519
to go to the comic comedy Club. I said, yeah,

408
00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:51.240
but I couldn't invite y'all. They're like, why because I've.

409
00:20:51.160 --> 00:20:57.039
Been just quit talking because you're feeling too much.

410
00:20:58.279 --> 00:21:02.119
See it's an all coming back. And I'll be like, no,

411
00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:05.079
I couldn't invite you because you would be the topic.

412
00:21:05.160 --> 00:21:08.359
And Shakespeare said, all the world's are stage and men

413
00:21:08.480 --> 00:21:11.880
are mere pawns in it. I've lived that. I've never

414
00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:13.759
told you about the clown that came to the workshop.

415
00:21:13.839 --> 00:21:15.319
She and the clown suit at eight o'clock in the

416
00:21:15.400 --> 00:21:19.960
morning anyway, And you know, like you I tell jokes,

417
00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:22.599
I'm like, and I had that epiphany right in front

418
00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:25.160
of everyone. I've never told the joke because I forget

419
00:21:25.200 --> 00:21:26.240
all the pieces of it.

420
00:21:26.680 --> 00:21:29.400
So there's no need. Let me just talk about you.

421
00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:33.720
I mean, you know or you know, were you wondering.

422
00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:38.519
I know you were wondering. Well, I'm in a church

423
00:21:39.000 --> 00:21:41.039
one Sunday, coming to Baptist church.

424
00:21:41.279 --> 00:21:43.839
They believe in watching feet, So I'm sitting on the

425
00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:46.839
edge few and I'm just sitting at minding my business,

426
00:21:47.240 --> 00:21:50.359
and all of a sudden, I hear a rustling. I

427
00:21:50.400 --> 00:21:54.160
hear something like somebody walking over leaves or something.

428
00:21:54.200 --> 00:21:57.119
I feel you or eld K. I know you'll be saying.

429
00:21:59.359 --> 00:22:01.400
But I was there and I heard this like like

430
00:22:01.480 --> 00:22:05.160
somebody had leaves wrestling, and I didn't want to look.

431
00:22:05.240 --> 00:22:07.480
I didn't want to look, so I turned and his

432
00:22:07.640 --> 00:22:09.680
lady came in and she had this hat on, but

433
00:22:09.720 --> 00:22:13.079
they were real leaves, like she picked him off the hedge.

434
00:22:13.119 --> 00:22:14.640
And she put a net over it. And I'm like,

435
00:22:19.039 --> 00:22:21.039
the Lord said, come as you are. That's all.

436
00:22:21.160 --> 00:22:27.119
That's all I said, come on, just come on, And

437
00:22:27.160 --> 00:22:29.920
I'm like she did it. She and she just rustling

438
00:22:30.119 --> 00:22:31.839
and I don't know what was moving up there to

439
00:22:31.880 --> 00:22:35.400
make the she had the net and the net underneath.

440
00:22:34.960 --> 00:22:38.400
The hat, so you know, maybe it was a bird

441
00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:38.880
up in there.

442
00:22:39.480 --> 00:22:42.279
I think it was. I think it's a little fitch words.

443
00:22:42.319 --> 00:22:45.200
You know. She just gathered all the leaves and just

444
00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:48.559
put on caterpillar. I don't know what could have you know,

445
00:22:49.079 --> 00:22:50.920
same church, different sunday.

446
00:22:51.720 --> 00:22:54.759
They had the old fashioned silver mic you know that

447
00:22:54.920 --> 00:22:58.720
the doctor Martin Luther King Kennedy days Mike, and they.

448
00:22:58.640 --> 00:23:00.440
Would do touch up sir.

449
00:23:01.359 --> 00:23:04.839
And it wasn't what the man said in his testimony.

450
00:23:04.880 --> 00:23:07.000
It was the two women in front of me who

451
00:23:07.119 --> 00:23:09.480
you know, and so the mess and the pastor was like, okay,

452
00:23:09.519 --> 00:23:11.200
that's enough, this is the last one. And he said,

453
00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:13.359
y'all need you all to pray for me because uh,

454
00:23:13.519 --> 00:23:15.039
I know that there would be a good show to

455
00:23:15.079 --> 00:23:17.400
see if the students show, they would have the door

456
00:23:17.599 --> 00:23:19.759
they laugh at all. Yeah, if they were mentioned, yeah,

457
00:23:19.759 --> 00:23:26.200
I don't mention names though. See I just described, just

458
00:23:26.279 --> 00:23:29.880

459
00:23:30.039 --> 00:23:31.720
gentleman is like, I just need you all to pray

460
00:23:31.720 --> 00:23:35.240
for me because on Wednesday, I'm having outdoor surgery out.

461
00:23:38.440 --> 00:23:40.920
But it wasn't what he said it. It wasn't just

462
00:23:40.960 --> 00:23:42.599
the two laguers in front of me. He's like, have

463
00:23:42.680 --> 00:23:44.519
an course surgery.

464
00:23:45.079 --> 00:23:48.359
He got up with my finger and walked out, walked

465
00:23:48.359 --> 00:23:51.480
out the law. The four year was very wide, and

466
00:23:51.519 --> 00:23:53.519
I went outside and made it to the stairs, and

467
00:23:53.559 --> 00:23:55.839
there was like fifteen flights of stairs, but I went

468
00:23:55.880 --> 00:23:57.920
down every one of them and got to the sidewalk

469
00:23:57.960 --> 00:23:58.759
and bust up.

470
00:24:02.279 --> 00:24:04.599
Well, he's an outdoor surgery.

471
00:24:04.160 --> 00:24:08.920
You know. I heard someone say they went to It

472
00:24:08.960 --> 00:24:10.839
was years ago, and.

473
00:24:12.519 --> 00:24:15.680
The ministers couldn't say prosecuting attorney.

474
00:24:16.119 --> 00:24:26.039
He said the prostitute. He tried, he said the press. No,

475
00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:28.799
that's not it. Prostitute.

476
00:24:30.119 --> 00:24:32.480
You know, how do you how do you not laugh

477
00:24:32.519 --> 00:24:34.440
at that? And you trying to you?

478
00:24:35.920 --> 00:24:41.519
Yeah, actually my shoulders would go up down. It was

479
00:24:41.559 --> 00:24:42.799
just like I couldn't.

480
00:24:43.720 --> 00:24:44.599
It's just you know.

481
00:24:45.160 --> 00:24:48.079
At the funeral, biological mother's side of the family were

482
00:24:48.119 --> 00:24:51.079
third row with my cousins, and all of a sudden,

483
00:24:51.119 --> 00:24:52.519
the first road they started laughing.

484
00:24:52.599 --> 00:24:54.559
So we're like, what cousin, what a love it? I said,

485
00:24:54.599 --> 00:24:55.319
I do not know.

486
00:24:55.759 --> 00:24:58.119
It got back to us on the third row, the

487
00:24:58.240 --> 00:25:01.279
elder in the midd in the men's corner.

488
00:25:01.680 --> 00:25:04.039
He had on a two pay and he was falling

489
00:25:04.079 --> 00:25:07.599
asleep of the fuel. So he would be like every

490
00:25:07.599 --> 00:25:10.359
time his dad go down, it moved. We were done

491
00:25:10.599 --> 00:25:14.240
and we couldn't. It's his three rows of us holler it.

492
00:25:14.279 --> 00:25:15.839
I mean, we'd laughed and so we couldn't help it.

493
00:25:15.880 --> 00:25:16.160
We could.

494
00:25:16.480 --> 00:25:18.079
We are crying and people.

495
00:25:17.839 --> 00:25:20.400
Are like, oh, no, ain't no all. Y'all need to

496
00:25:20.400 --> 00:25:22.279
wake him up. Y'all need to wake him up. This

497
00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:24.519
is not gonna be good. It's not gonna be good,

498
00:25:24.799 --> 00:25:28.880
you know. So it's just being able to look at

499
00:25:28.920 --> 00:25:32.279
life and and and laugh about it and and look

500
00:25:32.400 --> 00:25:34.839
back and say, oh, you know, wow, that was funny.

501
00:25:34.880 --> 00:25:37.720
And and you're gonna need that. Now. You're gonna need

502
00:25:37.720 --> 00:25:42.200
to remember humorous things. You're gonna remember. You need to

503
00:25:42.480 --> 00:25:43.400
have the good times.

504
00:25:43.400 --> 00:25:45.519
I was on the phone with a young man yesterday

505
00:25:45.960 --> 00:25:50.400
about kay bowling and Spectrum in Hulu getting that service,

506
00:25:50.440 --> 00:25:53.319
and and ended up. I don't know how God interjected

507
00:25:53.440 --> 00:25:56.480
that is funny, yes, Elda Jane's I'm telling you. I'm

508
00:25:56.519 --> 00:25:59.440
telling you, and you see, I can't see That's why

509
00:25:59.480 --> 00:26:02.039
God didn't wouldn't have me be a pastor standing in

510
00:26:02.079 --> 00:26:04.799
a pool pit and I'm watching you come in. I'd

511
00:26:04.839 --> 00:26:08.039
be like, you know you're late, you know what time

512
00:26:08.039 --> 00:26:11.640
we're supposed to start, you know what we're doing, what

513
00:26:12.079 --> 00:26:12.839
we're doing.

514
00:26:12.759 --> 00:26:14.119
And why y'all back there talking.

515
00:26:14.359 --> 00:26:17.000
I did that in class because one night the students

516
00:26:17.000 --> 00:26:19.359
were There was one particular student that loved to bring

517
00:26:19.400 --> 00:26:21.920
in her laptop and she would be on it and everything,

518
00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:24.240
so she didn't know I was a walker. I walked

519
00:26:24.279 --> 00:26:27.519
the classroom and I got up behind her. I'm teaching,

520
00:26:27.880 --> 00:26:32.119
I'm teaching, but she's playing Solitaire on my computer, so

521
00:26:32.160 --> 00:26:34.920
I got I didn't say anything, and she couldn't she

522
00:26:34.960 --> 00:26:36.640
couldn't flip it down fast enough.

523
00:26:36.799 --> 00:26:38.319
So I get up to the front of the classroom.

524
00:26:38.359 --> 00:26:39.400
I said, well, some of you all.

525
00:26:39.319 --> 00:26:42.799
Gonna be losing points just for your attendance, and why

526
00:26:43.160 --> 00:26:46.359
because just because, And that was I never had that

527
00:26:46.440 --> 00:26:48.559
problem again, because I mean, you could bring in your

528
00:26:48.599 --> 00:26:51.200
laptop to take notes, but you're playing games on it,

529
00:26:51.400 --> 00:26:53.759
and this must be really boring for you. So I

530
00:26:53.799 --> 00:26:56.240
expect you to make a hundred percent on the exam.

531
00:26:56.640 --> 00:26:58.839
If you don't make a hundred percent, I will fail

532
00:26:58.920 --> 00:27:01.640
you you get an F because you're not paying attention,

533
00:27:02.880 --> 00:27:05.240
you know. But yeah, a lot of times I would

534
00:27:05.240 --> 00:27:08.839
I would get people, you know, and especially when people

535
00:27:08.839 --> 00:27:11.440
were just really wound too tight. You've had those type

536
00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:14.960
of people. They've just wound up too tight and we

537
00:27:15.039 --> 00:27:17.839
still going talk about democracy. They were just wound up

538
00:27:17.880 --> 00:27:20.559
too tight. It's like, geez, get over it, come on,

539
00:27:20.720 --> 00:27:23.279
let loose. And I was on the third floor at

540
00:27:23.279 --> 00:27:26.359
my job. I was working at Children's Services Council, and

541
00:27:26.440 --> 00:27:29.200
our public one of the staff members, she was the publicist,

542
00:27:29.200 --> 00:27:32.200
so she was always doing the what we would call

543
00:27:32.279 --> 00:27:34.240
blogs today and stuff like that.

544
00:27:34.279 --> 00:27:38.319
She was on media person and she was always so

545
00:27:38.519 --> 00:27:40.039
careful about what she said.

546
00:27:40.519 --> 00:27:43.119
And I'm just going to the break room, so you know,

547
00:27:43.119 --> 00:27:44.599
I think I was getting ready to eat lunch or something.

548
00:27:44.640 --> 00:27:47.200
And I'm passing by them, she and two other women,

549
00:27:47.599 --> 00:27:50.119
and our office was on the second floor, but the

550
00:27:50.160 --> 00:27:51.960
folks on the third floor, you know, that's the upper

551
00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:56.400
echelon leadership team and stuff like that. And she said, yeah,

552
00:27:56.599 --> 00:27:58.279
she was saying something. She goes, yeah, it's about the

553
00:27:58.319 --> 00:27:59.559
colored something.

554
00:27:59.599 --> 00:28:03.000
I said, color colored, Arlene colored.

555
00:28:03.440 --> 00:28:06.839
She went and told the executive director that I misunderstood

556
00:28:06.880 --> 00:28:08.960
what she was saying. So later in that afternoon, I

557
00:28:09.000 --> 00:28:12.000
get a knock on my door. I said, yes, I

558
00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:13.359
don't say tell you to come in. I don't know

559
00:28:13.359 --> 00:28:15.839
who you are, so I'm like yes, and she said, hey,

560
00:28:15.880 --> 00:28:19.400
it's Tanna, the executive director on the second floor.

561
00:28:19.599 --> 00:28:21.359
And I had my light off and everything. I said,

562
00:28:21.359 --> 00:28:21.759
come on in.

563
00:28:22.400 --> 00:28:25.839
And she was really uneasy to talk about she goes well,

564
00:28:26.599 --> 00:28:28.480
such and such said that you know, she thinks she

565
00:28:28.599 --> 00:28:30.599
hurt your feelings, and I said, oh, I was just

566
00:28:30.680 --> 00:28:33.000
joking with her. So I said, y'all, woantn't to do

567
00:28:33.079 --> 00:28:35.599
tight up there. Y'all got to just let the hair

568
00:28:35.640 --> 00:28:37.839
down here. Maybe y'all need to come down here and

569
00:28:37.880 --> 00:28:41.000
you know, be with us, you know, middlefolk for a minute,

570
00:28:41.319 --> 00:28:42.160
just to unwind.

571
00:28:42.200 --> 00:28:44.160
I said, But I got her. I said, you go back.

572
00:28:44.279 --> 00:28:45.960
She's probably scared to talk to me because if you

573
00:28:46.000 --> 00:28:48.160
see me coming in her office, it's going to freak

574
00:28:48.200 --> 00:28:50.319
her out. So can you tell her we're cool? It

575
00:28:50.359 --> 00:28:53.480
wasn't It was just I was just making fun. You know, colored,

576
00:28:54.400 --> 00:28:58.759
I think, I said colored, You talking about crayons, colored crayons,

577
00:28:58.799 --> 00:29:01.279
colored markers. I said something like that, and I kept

578
00:29:01.279 --> 00:29:05.359
going yeah, So I get in trouble that I you know,

579
00:29:05.440 --> 00:29:08.559
and I accidentally kind of hurt folks feelings too.

580
00:29:08.599 --> 00:29:11.200
You like, but you look so serious. Yeah, but you

581
00:29:11.240 --> 00:29:14.599
know you are wide open. You're a wide open I

582
00:29:14.599 --> 00:29:15.119
couldn't help.

583
00:29:15.359 --> 00:29:20.119
So I want to segue from there to say, this

584
00:29:20.200 --> 00:29:23.000
is how I kind of raise my kids. Even if

585
00:29:23.039 --> 00:29:26.039
you know I'm going to disagree with something, you stand

586
00:29:26.119 --> 00:29:29.880
on it, you support it, I'm gonna disagree. I'm gonna

587
00:29:29.920 --> 00:29:33.000
express myself. I'll give you a chance to express yourself,

588
00:29:33.200 --> 00:29:35.799
but I'm not I can only I can tell you

589
00:29:35.880 --> 00:29:37.720
where the water is. I can tell you how the

590
00:29:37.759 --> 00:29:40.559
water is. I can tell you what flavor the water is,

591
00:29:40.640 --> 00:29:42.119
or what it is a good time to go drink

592
00:29:42.160 --> 00:29:42.519
the water.

593
00:29:42.680 --> 00:29:43.000
I can.

594
00:29:43.039 --> 00:29:44.799
I can lead you to the water, but I can't

595
00:29:44.799 --> 00:29:46.759
make you drink it. And sometimes I can't.

596
00:29:46.559 --> 00:29:50.880
Even lead you. And I'm okay with that. My responsibility

597
00:29:50.960 --> 00:29:53.279
is to make sure you are informed.

598
00:29:53.559 --> 00:29:55.519
And I was listening to some of the profits that

599
00:29:55.559 --> 00:29:59.880
I follow whose word is I've already been told, so

600
00:30:00.319 --> 00:30:03.119
I agree, and all of them are saying.

601
00:30:02.880 --> 00:30:05.200
We don't mean to scare you, we don't mean to

602
00:30:05.279 --> 00:30:05.880
startle you.

603
00:30:06.319 --> 00:30:11.119
Well, I'm here to put fear because what's here and

604
00:30:11.160 --> 00:30:15.680
what you've seen in this last week that's unfolding, It's real.

605
00:30:16.319 --> 00:30:20.440
It has opened up a whole pandemics box on every

606
00:30:20.640 --> 00:30:26.039
in every type of situation you can imagine. Its purpose

607
00:30:26.160 --> 00:30:30.000
is to instill fear, to make you scared, to go out,

608
00:30:30.200 --> 00:30:32.559
to make you scared and be looking at people and

609
00:30:32.599 --> 00:30:35.720
clutching your purse, make you go, make you want to

610
00:30:35.759 --> 00:30:37.759
go to the gun range and get you a gun.

611
00:30:38.000 --> 00:30:40.720
I know it, I'm sure of it. I know it.

612
00:30:41.160 --> 00:30:43.880
I know students at some of these colleges they have

613
00:30:44.000 --> 00:30:46.960
gotten guns because we got you got that threat out there.

614
00:30:47.240 --> 00:30:49.119
We're coming to kill all the black people at these

615
00:30:49.119 --> 00:30:50.440
different universities.

616
00:30:50.519 --> 00:30:52.079
Oh okay, we'll be ready for you.

617
00:30:52.119 --> 00:30:55.480
See you, and nobody's thinking, let's come together and pray.

618
00:30:56.160 --> 00:30:59.759
Let's let's let's come together and pray. Nobody's thinking about that.

619
00:31:00.319 --> 00:31:03.160
You know what, Let's let's practice some self defense or

620
00:31:03.400 --> 00:31:05.200
what do we do in a case like that. This's

621
00:31:05.200 --> 00:31:08.279
one drills now, because we've got active people out there

622
00:31:08.359 --> 00:31:11.359
that's not thinking straight, that's not thinking on our behalf.

623
00:31:11.799 --> 00:31:14.440
They want to literally hurt us because we look different,

624
00:31:14.799 --> 00:31:18.279
we walk different. So I'm hearing the threats I'm hearing,

625
00:31:18.400 --> 00:31:24.319
I'm watching, listening the deaths here there, everything, and I'm like, God,

626
00:31:24.920 --> 00:31:28.640
have mercy, Lord, have mercy, and tell me what are

627
00:31:28.680 --> 00:31:30.839
we to do? And he made it very clear, he said,

628
00:31:30.880 --> 00:31:34.160
I need you praying. I need you praying many times

629
00:31:34.200 --> 00:31:37.480
throughout the day. You're gonna wake up praying because we've

630
00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:40.240
got to cover this world in prayer, because prayer is

631
00:31:40.279 --> 00:31:42.960
the only thing that changes things. Not you shooting people,

632
00:31:43.440 --> 00:31:46.200
not you threatening people, not you can't go in the

633
00:31:46.240 --> 00:31:49.680
House of Parliament and keep at peace, none of that.

634
00:31:49.839 --> 00:31:52.480
Not you airing all your whatever.

635
00:31:52.160 --> 00:31:55.400
You want to say, spewing your your nastiness on social media.

636
00:31:55.559 --> 00:31:58.519
No, that don't change nothing. Prayer changes that.

637
00:31:59.160 --> 00:32:01.720
And if you you're not there, I don't know what

638
00:32:01.799 --> 00:32:04.960
else I can say, Trey, you want to say something, Yeah.

639
00:32:05.400 --> 00:32:07.559
I want to say a couple of things.

640
00:32:09.599 --> 00:32:14.599
What I have observed and learned, And I think we

641
00:32:14.759 --> 00:32:16.680
talked about it before on the show.

642
00:32:17.160 --> 00:32:19.759
What it is to be a Christian, what it means

643
00:32:20.200 --> 00:32:23.519
to be a Christian? What you know? What are you

644
00:32:23.720 --> 00:32:24.519
praying for?

645
00:32:25.000 --> 00:32:29.440
So everybody's prayers are differently, and I think we talked

646
00:32:29.440 --> 00:32:32.519
about it earlier. You mentioned, you know, what do we

647
00:32:32.599 --> 00:32:36.400
want to go back to and hav an honest conversations

648
00:32:36.400 --> 00:32:39.960
because we're not being when I say we, I'm when

649
00:32:40.119 --> 00:32:44.079
there's we are not having honest conversations.

650
00:32:43.279 --> 00:32:44.759
About what that means.

651
00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:52.240
And people want to skirt around it, reflect it reflected, blame,

652
00:32:53.200 --> 00:32:56.359
make it look like something that it isn't, and and

653
00:32:56.720 --> 00:32:59.559
sometimes to the point where you're making people feel like

654
00:33:00.160 --> 00:33:05.279
you are questioning my intelligence. You're questioning my intelligence. If

655
00:33:05.319 --> 00:33:08.640
I see a for red flower that looks like a rose,

656
00:33:08.680 --> 00:33:12.279
smells like a rose, it is a rose. And we're

657
00:33:12.319 --> 00:33:15.240
not having the honest conversations. By what do you really

658
00:33:15.279 --> 00:33:18.519
mean when you're saying that more things that I'm hearing

659
00:33:19.160 --> 00:33:23.559
have come up. That's really but people are getting what

660
00:33:24.039 --> 00:33:27.279
me and a Christian getting a mixed up. Depends on

661
00:33:27.319 --> 00:33:31.759
who you're listening to, what your sources are, and what

662
00:33:31.920 --> 00:33:35.559
I'm hearing. I learned something that the New Testament versus

663
00:33:35.599 --> 00:33:38.640
the Old Testament when it says, if I understand the

664
00:33:38.720 --> 00:33:43.440
Old Testament, God says, love your neighbor as you love yourself. Well,

665
00:33:43.440 --> 00:33:46.799
if you don't love yourself, you don't want to be loved.

666
00:33:46.799 --> 00:33:48.400
You know, a neighbor doesn't want to be loved the

667
00:33:48.400 --> 00:33:51.160
way if you don't love yourself. The New Testament, from

668
00:33:51.200 --> 00:33:55.119
what I'm understanding, is God says, love your neighbor as

669
00:33:55.160 --> 00:33:58.680
I love you. And the way I'm hearing people talk,

670
00:33:59.119 --> 00:34:01.000
God does not love us that way.

671
00:34:01.240 --> 00:34:04.799
Thus God made us in his image or his image.

672
00:34:05.160 --> 00:34:07.480
You see what is? What is if you believe in God,

673
00:34:08.000 --> 00:34:09.119
we are his images?

674
00:34:09.199 --> 00:34:15.679
Black, white, Latino, Mexican, Uh, you know, Russian, you know

675
00:34:15.880 --> 00:34:19.599
whatever that is. And I'm thinking, when I we need

676
00:34:19.679 --> 00:34:23.159
to go back to the altar, get down to our knees. Oh,

677
00:34:23.199 --> 00:34:26.480
thank you, thank you all the kay. You know, people

678
00:34:26.719 --> 00:34:29.639
we're not having the conversations. And the thing is, people

679
00:34:29.719 --> 00:34:33.239
are so afraid to have conversations because one of the

680
00:34:33.280 --> 00:34:36.280
things I don't know if you remember Lesia. While back

681
00:34:36.360 --> 00:34:40.039
in Palmbridge County, there was an organization that that talked

682
00:34:40.039 --> 00:34:44.119
about cultural competency and toward a more perfect union, where

683
00:34:44.280 --> 00:34:47.440
these dialogues you had them in small groups, but they

684
00:34:47.480 --> 00:34:50.679
were had. You don't have to agree with somebody that

685
00:34:50.760 --> 00:34:54.400
does not look like you or have the same beliefs,

686
00:34:54.519 --> 00:34:58.280
but there is some civil civility that needs to be had.

687
00:34:58.400 --> 00:35:01.559
I might not agree with your life, judge, not unless

688
00:35:01.599 --> 00:35:04.760
he be judged judge God is the person that's going

689
00:35:04.800 --> 00:35:06.840
to judge you. And I say that because I think

690
00:35:06.960 --> 00:35:10.320
sometimes when man puts his spend on things, we're messing

691
00:35:10.360 --> 00:35:14.360
it up, and we're cruiting, creating division, we're creating fear

692
00:35:14.960 --> 00:35:18.760
and people that don't look like And I got frustrated,

693
00:35:19.239 --> 00:35:22.880
God rest is man soul when I heard a couple

694
00:35:22.920 --> 00:35:26.320
of clips of saying, I'm looking at I have to

695
00:35:26.440 --> 00:35:29.920
question if I see a black pilot, whether this person

696
00:35:30.159 --> 00:35:34.199
was hired because of the fact that they were qualified,

697
00:35:34.679 --> 00:35:37.360
or whether they put him as a result of DEI

698
00:35:37.880 --> 00:35:40.880
that's his belief, but his belief has other people questioning it.

699
00:35:41.239 --> 00:35:45.239
But if you flipped it because you see other people,

700
00:35:45.719 --> 00:35:49.599
people of Caucasian or people who are not of color,

701
00:35:50.119 --> 00:35:53.199
just say the same thing, you know it could be reflipped.

702
00:35:53.199 --> 00:35:55.760
Did you get that where you are because you are

703
00:35:55.920 --> 00:35:59.280
had the means for someone to be able to maybe

704
00:35:59.320 --> 00:36:01.920
help buy you the or put a wing onto a

705
00:36:01.960 --> 00:36:05.679
college university in their name and which will allow you

706
00:36:05.719 --> 00:36:09.280
because this stuff does happen. But my thing is, we

707
00:36:09.360 --> 00:36:12.480
need to pray. But really, let's me I'm telling you,

708
00:36:12.599 --> 00:36:15.800
and I said, I need to make sure that I

709
00:36:15.880 --> 00:36:18.559
paid pray. And then there was a gentleman that put

710
00:36:18.599 --> 00:36:22.039
it eloquently that you don't wish any ills. I don't

711
00:36:22.039 --> 00:36:25.360
wish any ills on that young man. I'm so sorry

712
00:36:25.559 --> 00:36:28.719
that happens. But when you create fear, you back a

713
00:36:28.880 --> 00:36:30.199
cat up against the corner.

714
00:36:30.639 --> 00:36:32.360
He's gonna come out.

715
00:36:32.639 --> 00:36:35.840
Now the sickness that he should not have been a

716
00:36:35.840 --> 00:36:39.119
saxinate or killed or whatever whatever they're using. And now

717
00:36:39.119 --> 00:36:42.559
it's something different because of who he is. But it's

718
00:36:42.599 --> 00:36:45.199
a lot of hypocrisy going on. It's a lot of

719
00:36:45.639 --> 00:36:49.239
leaning to one side, not recognizing. Okay, well you said

720
00:36:49.239 --> 00:36:52.840
it's about this person, but now this person it looks differently.

721
00:36:53.239 --> 00:36:55.760
If it's a spade called the spade, but have the

722
00:36:56.039 --> 00:36:59.519
you know, we need to have some start dialoguing about it.

723
00:37:00.039 --> 00:37:02.000
And I don't know where to begin with it. I

724
00:37:02.000 --> 00:37:05.719
think it's my frustration because it's this place is getting

725
00:37:05.880 --> 00:37:08.599
scarier and people say, this is not who we are,

726
00:37:08.639 --> 00:37:10.559
but it's becoming to look like who we are. Is

727
00:37:10.599 --> 00:37:13.480
this what we were all of a sudden or has

728
00:37:13.480 --> 00:37:16.239
it always been like this? And but people found a

729
00:37:16.280 --> 00:37:19.000
way to kind of be more civil and not do that.

730
00:37:19.519 --> 00:37:24.679
And it's not it's just crazy, it's sad. It's fearful.

731
00:37:25.320 --> 00:37:28.159
It's I don't know, it's crazy.

732
00:37:28.639 --> 00:37:31.119
I just want to share as far as I definitely

733
00:37:31.159 --> 00:37:35.039
do agree with all that you said and you know,

734
00:37:35.599 --> 00:37:39.079
having faith. If you go over he Wreews eleven, it

735
00:37:39.159 --> 00:37:41.960
tells us what faith looks like. It goes back of

736
00:37:42.000 --> 00:37:44.840
people in the Old Testament, of different stories of what

737
00:37:44.920 --> 00:37:49.079
people face and what true faith looks like. So it's

738
00:37:49.119 --> 00:37:51.840
like it's really a time to really get right with

739
00:37:51.920 --> 00:37:54.880
God and just make sure you have eyes to see,

740
00:37:55.079 --> 00:37:59.159
ears to hear him and not allowing us to get

741
00:37:59.199 --> 00:38:02.840
to people. It does look scary. It's like, okay, like

742
00:38:03.360 --> 00:38:06.039
just came out of nowhere. No, if you were truly

743
00:38:06.760 --> 00:38:09.199
of Him, you would have known these things were coming.

744
00:38:09.239 --> 00:38:11.960
You would have been behind the scenes of everything. So

745
00:38:12.000 --> 00:38:15.559
it's just like I think two Timothy, he didn't give

746
00:38:15.599 --> 00:38:17.599
us the spirit of fear, but power, love.

747
00:38:17.400 --> 00:38:18.159
And a sound mind.

748
00:38:18.599 --> 00:38:20.960
So keep that close to you.

749
00:38:21.000 --> 00:38:23.440
Of what I recommend, especially for the youth and everything

750
00:38:23.519 --> 00:38:25.760
like that. With all of our schools, you know, being

751
00:38:25.800 --> 00:38:28.559
targeted and stuff like that, it's just like, we do

752
00:38:28.679 --> 00:38:31.920
not need to fear right now. We need to trust

753
00:38:32.320 --> 00:38:34.840
God no matter how it looks. I mean, we see

754
00:38:34.880 --> 00:38:36.079
all these stories in the Bible.

755
00:38:36.559 --> 00:38:38.480
It was crazy. I mean we probably would have not

756
00:38:38.519 --> 00:38:39.320
survived back then.

757
00:38:39.760 --> 00:38:43.519
But like it's the same thing, you know, and it's

758
00:38:43.519 --> 00:38:47.639
gonna look, of course differently because we're experiencing it. So yeah,

759
00:38:47.719 --> 00:38:52.199
I definitely, yeah, Like just establish that relationship for sure.

760
00:38:52.679 --> 00:38:56.880
No luke warmness, no in and out, be all in

761
00:38:56.920 --> 00:38:59.199
it because I mean, boy, it's gonna be a fight,

762
00:38:59.280 --> 00:39:02.199
it's a lonely walk, and it's a lot you will

763
00:39:02.239 --> 00:39:02.840
be tested.

764
00:39:03.480 --> 00:39:07.440
So just really, a person that is doing their job,

765
00:39:07.519 --> 00:39:09.519
they obviously know their job, no matter what they look

766
00:39:09.679 --> 00:39:14.639
what they look like, it seems the person questioning is jealous.

767
00:39:15.920 --> 00:39:18.000
Yeah, And it's so much of that.

768
00:39:18.079 --> 00:39:21.960
And going back to what as K said about the

769
00:39:22.000 --> 00:39:27.440
school situation, I'm not surprised that racism and somebody not

770
00:39:27.639 --> 00:39:30.440
liking folk because of the color of their skin or

771
00:39:30.480 --> 00:39:35.280
their religion. That doesn't these schools don't have security already

772
00:39:35.440 --> 00:39:39.280
on them. That's where my frustration comes in at because

773
00:39:39.320 --> 00:39:42.519
I know this, you don't have security on there as is,

774
00:39:42.559 --> 00:39:45.960
and they're paying for it being a student there, they're

775
00:39:46.000 --> 00:39:48.679
paying the salaries of these security people and there's nobody

776
00:39:48.679 --> 00:39:52.599
there partly, so that's my concern. I know, prejudice is

777
00:39:52.639 --> 00:39:56.480
going to always exist. Societal ills will always be. There's

778
00:39:56.519 --> 00:39:59.519
no scripture in the Bible that says that this will

779
00:39:59.639 --> 00:40:03.000
cease and desist. If it will not, it's going to

780
00:40:03.039 --> 00:40:06.039
get worse, it will die down, it will ebb and flow.

781
00:40:06.239 --> 00:40:08.239
Right now, we're getting ready to have a whole lot

782
00:40:08.400 --> 00:40:12.000
because it's coming on every front now. Ever since twenty twenty,

783
00:40:12.519 --> 00:40:16.079
ever since twenty twenty, everything's been coming on all fronts. Now,

784
00:40:16.360 --> 00:40:18.840
we all need to remember that we are of the

785
00:40:18.920 --> 00:40:21.360
human race and we need to stand together and know

786
00:40:21.480 --> 00:40:26.400
each other and accept each other as is, accept each

787
00:40:26.440 --> 00:40:29.000
other as a know what your role is too.

788
00:40:29.440 --> 00:40:32.679
I'm not here to change, y'all. I'm here to encourage.

789
00:40:32.880 --> 00:40:34.039
I'm here to motivate.

790
00:40:34.400 --> 00:40:36.519
And if you embrace change, if you look at your

791
00:40:36.559 --> 00:40:39.039
life and say, you know what, I just don't. I

792
00:40:39.199 --> 00:40:42.800
just don't. I don't like the way this is happening

793
00:40:42.800 --> 00:40:44.039
for me, will you change it?

794
00:40:44.480 --> 00:40:45.280
You change it?

795
00:40:45.440 --> 00:40:47.840
Because I can tell you forever. And I've had people

796
00:40:47.880 --> 00:40:50.239
say very close to me and very recently, well you know,

797
00:40:50.320 --> 00:40:53.159
not everybody think like you do, and that's kind of good.

798
00:40:53.239 --> 00:40:55.440
I said, Yeah, I've got three children here, who has

799
00:40:55.440 --> 00:40:58.239
twenty three of my chromosomes each and they don't think

800
00:40:58.280 --> 00:41:01.639
like I do. So throwing that jab it means nothing

801
00:41:01.679 --> 00:41:03.360
to me, but look how you live it. See then

802
00:41:03.440 --> 00:41:05.840
then you got me going there. I don't want to

803
00:41:05.880 --> 00:41:07.760
go there. So I had to pull them. I got

804
00:41:07.760 --> 00:41:11.320
to back myself out of this despite what's happening, because

805
00:41:11.800 --> 00:41:15.880
two phone calls, one yesterday to a Spectrum staff member

806
00:41:16.079 --> 00:41:20.280
and then today to my homeowners is my homeowners insurance?

807
00:41:20.760 --> 00:41:22.360
Home insurance total.

808
00:41:22.119 --> 00:41:25.719
Stranger got into Jack did and this lady's crying like

809
00:41:25.800 --> 00:41:28.239
miss Greg, thank you so much, thank you, saying yeah,

810
00:41:28.239 --> 00:41:30.679
there's some people you got. It was a message for her.

811
00:41:31.119 --> 00:41:33.599
That's who I'm called. I'm going after the chosen that

812
00:41:33.679 --> 00:41:36.599
don't know their chosen. I may never fish to see

813
00:41:36.599 --> 00:41:39.000
them face to face. I may get them on the phone.

814
00:41:39.159 --> 00:41:41.800
I may be at the training part whatever. Saturday morning,

815
00:41:41.880 --> 00:41:43.880
we went out the dog to do the training with

816
00:41:44.039 --> 00:41:45.880
our pupp with our doghogs. I want to call a puppy,

817
00:41:45.960 --> 00:41:48.440
but with our dog. And before I could get close,

818
00:41:48.480 --> 00:41:51.360
start putting, getting dressed, Jesus said to me, let them

819
00:41:51.400 --> 00:41:53.920
see me today, let them see me today.

820
00:41:54.199 --> 00:41:56.280
And I'm like, I got you. Because I was going

821
00:41:56.320 --> 00:41:58.679
in hot and Jesus said, no, let them see me today.

822
00:41:59.000 --> 00:42:02.920
Love it, young lady, keep keeping keeping, yeah, keeping pure.

823
00:42:03.280 --> 00:42:05.760
I think she's trying to say pure. But thank you,

824
00:42:05.760 --> 00:42:06.760
you know, and and.

825
00:42:06.760 --> 00:42:09.360
So this is real, this is real. I just I

826
00:42:09.480 --> 00:42:10.760
