Amen, Amen and amen, thank you, thank you, thank you,

32
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:47.400
thank you. Hallelujah. We just give God praise of just

33
00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:52.639
his presence is so it's so fierce, and it's so loving,

34
00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:55.960
and it's so warm, and just spending time with him.

35
00:02:55.960 --> 00:02:58.560
I don't want to leave my house because I just

36
00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:00.840
like to just be with him, talking to him and

37
00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:04.039
singing and just playing gospel all the way, you know,

38
00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:07.080
throughout the day. You know, it's just amazing. Then the

39
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:09.800
favor that comes and you know he loves us, and

40
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:13.000
I'm reminded all the time he loves us so much,

41
00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:17.840
and you feel like God, I don't deserve this. I

42
00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:22.639
don't deserve this, but it's in your word. You'll never

43
00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:26.520
leave us nor forsake us. You know you'll lead us

44
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:32.360
beside the still waters. Our cup will run over surely.

45
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:37.280
You know. Merch, goodness and mercy follows us, Favor follows us,

46
00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:42.520
Peace dwells within us, favor and faith and you know

47
00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:47.879
the blood of Jesus. You just have to sit and

48
00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:51.639
reflect on that. At times. You know, I don't want

49
00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:53.560
to be looking back, but this week I've had to

50
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:57.319
oddly say a few people, you know, don't despite your

51
00:03:57.400 --> 00:04:02.240
small beginnings, He's taking us back for real, for real

52
00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:06.039
some of us, and reminding us from whence we came

53
00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:09.719
and letting us know this is why you went through this,

54
00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:12.680
This is why you had to experience that negative boss,

55
00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:15.319
This is why you had to have those coworkers that

56
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:18.439
you know, this is why. And you look back like, God,

57
00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:21.759
you know everything. And I know that sounds really weird,

58
00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:23.839
but it's like I've been saying that, God, you're just

59
00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:29.519
too much, but you trust us. You trust me with

60
00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:35.920
all of this to lead your people, to guide my God.

61
00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:43.399
Who wouldn't serve a god like this? Who wouldn't Your

62
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:47.600
needs are taken care of He knows when and where

63
00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:52.000
and how. He knows these things. Why wouldn't we trust

64
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:55.199
our parents, no matter how if there are good parents

65
00:04:55.240 --> 00:04:58.519
or bad parents, we trust our parents. We know we're

66
00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:02.279
gonna have dinner. May be just a part of white

67
00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:05.800
beans and some hamhocks, you know, it may be oatmeal,

68
00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:09.079
but we're gonna We're gonna eat. We trust our parents.

69
00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:15.040
He's the ultimate parent. Why can't you trust him? You've

70
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:19.959
been trying your way forever. How has it worked for you?

71
00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:25.639
How has it worked for you? You need to really

72
00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:33.759
let go and let God now now, not tomorrow, but now,

73
00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:41.800
because tomorrow is not promised to us. People are leaving

74
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:47.600
here by their droves, accidents and playing crashes, and all

75
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:53.199
trains derail and mobile trains derailer hitting cars, and every

76
00:05:53.399 --> 00:06:01.160
minute of the day. Hey, missive, just let go, Just

77
00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:04.360
let go. We're pitt first, say God, I'm so sorry

78
00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:08.399
that I took this law. I was just I went

79
00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:12.839
to get my card detailed today and the owner was

80
00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:16.439
there and his wife was there. I've never met her

81
00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:19.720
in all the years I've been going. And I said, oh,

82
00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:21.319
he said, this is my wife. I said that you

83
00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:22.160
that's your wife.

84
00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:22.319
Oh.

85
00:06:22.360 --> 00:06:24.199
I got to talk to you, and she's looking at me.

86
00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:27.680
I said, I'm just joking. And into the conversation. God

87
00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:30.519
was ministering to the workers there, and I told them

88
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:34.399
God told me that God told them every customer from

89
00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:39.720
now on, you say, God be with them. God's not

90
00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:43.879
wondering where you are. Notice that He's commanding you all,

91
00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:47.199
each one of y'all, every client, every customer that comes

92
00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:49.639
to the here to get their card. They did say,

93
00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:54.120
God be with them. Y'all pray for each other. And

94
00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:58.000
there was a pastor there, so the young man will say, well,

95
00:06:58.000 --> 00:06:59.560
this is Pastor so and so, and I'm looking at

96
00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:05.879
him like and the man didn't know what to do.

97
00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:09.720
And when God started speaking, do you know he turned

98
00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:12.279
his back. Now I was standing up at this point.

99
00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:16.560
When he turns his back. Oh dude, got a little

100
00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:25.120
sports car. Good time? Amen? Hey cut you see. Yeah,

101
00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:29.079
he turned his back. It was so fake, and I

102
00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:31.839
noticed it, you know, But it don't matter what I noticed.

103
00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:34.480
He already knew what he was gonna do because I

104
00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:39.040
was talking about the Lord speaking to you. So God

105
00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:41.560
was talking about listen with a voice, look for the

106
00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:45.560
push up window in the spirit, and that God's gonna

107
00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:48.480
tell you when to move, when to do, when to

108
00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:50.879
stand still? And I told the young man, I said, now,

109
00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:52.800
if you get up and God's talking to you and

110
00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:55.680
say don't go to work today, shut it down. You

111
00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:57.279
just made the calls to the man say we're not

112
00:07:57.279 --> 00:07:59.600
doing we're not working today because we don't know what's

113
00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:02.240
gonna come. What would be coming through there for God

114
00:08:02.279 --> 00:08:06.560
to tell you not to go and wash cars that day.

115
00:08:06.759 --> 00:08:10.319
He said, yes, ma'am. His wife said, oh my god,

116
00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:13.279
I was definitely. Oh. It was twenty minutes into this.

117
00:08:14.199 --> 00:08:16.560
She said, oh my god, it's she goes you know

118
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:18.879
you when you said it's good to put a face

119
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:25.519
to the name, it's you. It's you. My husband loves

120
00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:29.800
you and adores you. Everybody. Look, I'm like, really, you've

121
00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:33.519
been talking about me. You've been talking about me. She said,

122
00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:35.360
Oh my god, it's really you. And she put her

123
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:38.919
I mean, like I was, it's her. I said, you

124
00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:42.080
know that commercial with the Eminem's in the Santa Claus.

125
00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:47.279
He is real, beyond real, you know. That's how she responded.

126
00:08:47.559 --> 00:08:51.360
She said, Oh, I'm so glad to meet you. And

127
00:08:51.399 --> 00:08:54.440
I said, wow, I said, and I really went out

128
00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:58.600
of my way to come to you today, but it's time.

129
00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:01.320
And then when the Lord talked to them about, you know,

130
00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:04.720
making room for the new, how could you keep asking

131
00:09:04.759 --> 00:09:06.919
for you know, wanting to get new stuff, new stuff,

132
00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:09.519
and you're you're not getting rid of the old stuff.

133
00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:12.759
People need the stuff, you know. That's why I had

134
00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:16.799
just dropped off bags at Salvation hom and I was

135
00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:20.279
on that side of town. I said, well, the Lord

136
00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:22.360
is blessed and man I was able to speak to

137
00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:31.000
him love those He medlar, okay, okay. And I'm telling

138
00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:36.080
you that's where we're at now. I'm not asking what

139
00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:39.720
where's your faith? I'm not asking do you believe in God?

140
00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:42.879
I'm not asking. There's a man there that's about eighty

141
00:09:42.919 --> 00:09:46.440
years seventy, late seventies. I don't know him. I don't

142
00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:48.679
know him by name. I don't know they even bother

143
00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:56.080
to mention the churchy he's over. But you everybody else

144
00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:58.919
sitting around and you know, and and and when God

145
00:09:59.080 --> 00:10:01.840
was speaking, everybody was on the edge of their chair.

146
00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:07.759
So God said, God sent me all the way over

147
00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:10.519
here to tell you he is so proud of you.

148
00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:13.480
I said, you've been You've always been a good man.

149
00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:17.559
I'm glad you got new people here working for you,

150
00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:22.039
because you can't take everybody with you. And this season

151
00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:25.399
we're in now, it's not coming, it's not down the road,

152
00:10:25.480 --> 00:10:28.039
it's here. We're in the season now. And I'm to

153
00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:31.320
tell our listeners, our viewers, you've got to let them go.

154
00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:37.840
You've got to let them go. I don't care if

155
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:39.960
that's your baby, cousin. I don't care if that's your

156
00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:43.559
If they choose to be on the street, that's their choice.

157
00:10:44.440 --> 00:10:47.559
If they choose not to serve God or even believe

158
00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:49.120
in God, or tell you I don't want to hear

159
00:10:49.159 --> 00:10:54.840
about God, that's their choice. Don't waste any more time.

160
00:10:55.320 --> 00:10:59.600
Time is going to be very precious now, very even more.

161
00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:03.200
Just making sure you're getting it done, get the job done,

162
00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:06.720
get the word done, make the call right now, go

163
00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:08.759
and do it, get the items and things like that.

164
00:11:08.759 --> 00:11:11.519
And I didn't forget that we're gonna audience you, you guys,

165
00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:13.159
the five of y'all, got to come up with what

166
00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:15.279
we're gonna do for Thanksgiving. And we're doing anything we

167
00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:16.919
don't have to. We can put it off the Christmas.

168
00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:21.320
Don't think I forgot. I'm gonna I'm gonna circle back

169
00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:28.759
to our topic. Tonight, God said, now do you want

170
00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:33.919
me or you don't, And I'm good either way. But

171
00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:37.360
I got to keep moving even when you're resting in God.

172
00:11:38.399 --> 00:11:42.679
When God says resting me, he means for you to

173
00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:45.679
give no more thought to the next few minutes, the

174
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:48.279
next hour, the next full the rest of the day.

175
00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:51.519
But you're still gonna be moving. You still got to

176
00:11:51.559 --> 00:11:55.039
keep moving. But he says, I need you to rest.

177
00:11:55.480 --> 00:11:57.559
Sometimes he'll say, I don't want you going anywhere today.

178
00:11:57.639 --> 00:11:59.519
I want you to just rest, stay off your feet.

179
00:12:01.559 --> 00:12:08.639
It's okay, okay. We don't know what's around the corner.

180
00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:11.360
We don't know what people are thinking. That's one thing

181
00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:13.960
I was led to say to the workers today. We

182
00:12:14.039 --> 00:12:16.039
don't know if this person is saying, let me go

183
00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:19.200
ahead and wash my car. I have nothing else to

184
00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:22.399
live for, but I'm gonna leave this to junior at

185
00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:25.559
least it to be clean. And they go and they

186
00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:27.600
go take their life. We don't know what people are

187
00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:32.320
thinking anymore. All of a sudden, the beauty and what

188
00:12:32.399 --> 00:12:34.320
I look like and all this kind of stuff has

189
00:12:34.360 --> 00:12:41.360
come out, and all kinds of just warped thinking or

190
00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:47.879
anger over. What what can you change besides yourself. What

191
00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:55.159
can you change? Why are you wasting the time? You

192
00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:59.559
don't want to listen? Peace out because I don't know

193
00:12:59.559 --> 00:13:04.200
about you. Time is winding up. And I've always said it,

194
00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:06.559
I'll say until I take my last breath. We may

195
00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:08.960
have a thousand more years or a thousand more minutes,

196
00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:15.879
don't matter. God will find me working. He will find

197
00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:16.519
me working.

198
00:13:19.679 --> 00:13:24.399
Can I ask something, Miss Pray? Yeah, when you were

199
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:34.639
talking about people getting themselves together and images things of

200
00:13:34.720 --> 00:13:37.519
that neck, I want to touch on something that was

201
00:13:38.080 --> 00:13:43.720
very disturbing to me today that I heard. And I

202
00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:46.200
didn't get a chance to watch the video of a parent,

203
00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:51.559
but evidently, uh, somewhere in the DMV area, there was

204
00:13:51.720 --> 00:13:54.799
a fourth grader that tried to hang a second grader

205
00:13:55.679 --> 00:13:56.799
at an elementary school.

206
00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:00.720
Yeah, and the mother is speak.

207
00:14:02.240 --> 00:14:06.399
So I heard the video. I heard the video.

208
00:14:06.720 --> 00:14:10.120
Someone was playing that and I said, what would compel

209
00:14:10.799 --> 00:14:14.879
a child that young to do something to a child

210
00:14:14.919 --> 00:14:15.879
that's that much younger?

211
00:14:15.879 --> 00:14:19.320
And this was at a school, and so I don't.

212
00:14:19.080 --> 00:14:23.840
Know the details to it, but the fact is, I'm

213
00:14:23.879 --> 00:14:27.919
praying for both children. I don't know what that the

214
00:14:27.919 --> 00:14:31.080
one that was the bully, because evidently he's been bullying

215
00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:34.200
or he or she had been bullying folks.

216
00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:34.440
For a while.

217
00:14:36.000 --> 00:14:40.200
I don't know what they're seeing, what's you know, pouring in.

218
00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:42.320
But I also.

219
00:14:42.200 --> 00:14:47.159
Noticed the development of some children or adults too. The

220
00:14:47.279 --> 00:14:52.080
minds are being altered by things they hear, things they see,

221
00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:56.960
the music, the video games, the violence, the thinking if

222
00:14:56.960 --> 00:14:59.320
you're gonna shoot, and real life, that person's just gonna

223
00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:02.600
automatically step up. I don't know what it is, you know,

224
00:15:02.799 --> 00:15:06.799
mind acting drugs that that you know that people are using.

225
00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:10.600
You don't know if they're talking sober or not. And

226
00:15:12.399 --> 00:15:13.559
I just pray.

227
00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:19.519
For our vulnerable are vulnerable. Our children are very vulnerable.

228
00:15:19.960 --> 00:15:23.000
I pray for our elderly. I pray for our disable

229
00:15:23.679 --> 00:15:29.399
because these people are vulnerable and so but we have

230
00:15:29.559 --> 00:15:33.639
to find a way to step up, step in, to

231
00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:34.399
do something.

232
00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:35.600
I don't know.

233
00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:37.679
Like I said, I don't know the situation, but it

234
00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:39.360
was disturbing because I heard that.

235
00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:42.759
I'm sorry I missed. I didn't see what would make

236
00:15:42.759 --> 00:15:44.320
a child say do that.

237
00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:51.519
But from what I understand, child evident, child did live.

238
00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:55.639
I'm not I think it's in she's in the hospital.

239
00:15:56.759 --> 00:16:00.679
But what I did hear the child did and blue

240
00:16:01.039 --> 00:16:04.240
booming at the mouth, but they were able to you know,

241
00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:08.120
he revived him and to the point, and so the

242
00:16:08.200 --> 00:16:11.759
mother had been speaking out. But it's just sad. I mean,

243
00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:14.720
that's just like one that's just one case, you know.

244
00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:16.320
I know there was a case in Virginia.

245
00:16:16.399 --> 00:16:18.919
I think it was a kindergarten that brought a gun

246
00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:22.120
to school and and and.

247
00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:25.000
Shot the teacher in the face. This was maybe a

248
00:16:25.080 --> 00:16:28.600
couple of years ago, and so you know, it's and

249
00:16:28.679 --> 00:16:32.919
this child had some issues that the staff and the

250
00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:34.559
other kids were complaining about.

251
00:16:35.360 --> 00:16:38.200
And so I don't know the school system.

252
00:16:38.480 --> 00:16:40.279
I don't think I could ever work it because it's

253
00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:44.320
too much bureaucracy. And I know, you know, you have

254
00:16:44.440 --> 00:16:48.159
to be sensitive, but where does this foolishness stop?

255
00:16:49.279 --> 00:16:50.600
You know, what can you do?

256
00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:55.240
And some of the stuff can you know, some of

257
00:16:55.240 --> 00:16:56.960
the stuff, or a lot of stuff can start at

258
00:16:56.960 --> 00:17:01.919
home what you're introducing your children to, because whatever's being

259
00:17:01.960 --> 00:17:05.440
introduced in the home, they're gonna mimic all of that,

260
00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:09.200
some of that in wherever they're going, whether it be

261
00:17:09.240 --> 00:17:12.759
the anger, whether it be the bullying, whether it be

262
00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:16.599
the other stuff that they got going on, it's mimic

263
00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:21.000
you know, and sometimes we're allowing videos and movies and

264
00:17:21.359 --> 00:17:26.680
television shows to raise the children. They need some parental guidance.

265
00:17:27.079 --> 00:17:29.279
I remember coming up, we only had three channels, and

266
00:17:29.319 --> 00:17:32.599
those channels they went off with eleven twelve o'clock at night.

267
00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:35.519
I'm aging myself and you heard the beat and that

268
00:17:35.680 --> 00:17:39.039
was it. Everybody was sleep, you know. And so but

269
00:17:39.200 --> 00:17:42.640
now you have access to so many things and are

270
00:17:42.759 --> 00:17:48.200
influenced by so many things and emulating things that Okay,

271
00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:51.160
people are doing really just doing this for money, you know,

272
00:17:51.839 --> 00:17:53.960
But I just want to just kind of put that

273
00:17:54.039 --> 00:17:54.759
out there, just to.

274
00:17:57.680 --> 00:17:58.640
It just disheartened me.

275
00:17:58.839 --> 00:18:01.680
That's too young, Not that any age would be better,

276
00:18:02.160 --> 00:18:04.359
but still, what in the world.

277
00:18:05.680 --> 00:18:08.920
Right and well? And the people who will reach out

278
00:18:09.079 --> 00:18:11.599
to these families, either one of them, what are you

279
00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:13.119
going to say to them? What do you how can

280
00:18:13.160 --> 00:18:18.519
you help them? How can the village intervene now? Or

281
00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:20.880
do you have a village? Do you have a support system?

282
00:18:21.640 --> 00:18:23.599
We go over this all the time. You need to

283
00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:26.079
talk to somebody. Who are you talking to, who's talking

284
00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:32.039
who's feeding you, who's feeding you? And this is not

285
00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:36.960
going to get better, guys, It's not going to get better.

286
00:18:37.079 --> 00:18:39.640
So you have to realize and ask God, what do

287
00:18:39.720 --> 00:18:41.839
I do when it comes to my door if somebody

288
00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:44.279
makes the call and say, hey, can you give me

289
00:18:44.319 --> 00:18:47.039
some resources? Or hey, you know, I really need to

290
00:18:47.079 --> 00:18:54.680
talk to somebody. Lord, feel me fill me up here,

291
00:18:56.119 --> 00:18:58.240
because I don't always know. We need to add those

292
00:18:58.279 --> 00:19:04.559
two prayers. Yeah, yeah, yes, And I think it would

293
00:19:04.559 --> 00:19:07.519
be very beneficial to have prayer back in school. It

294
00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:12.279
could be a club, but kids are gonna go and say,

295
00:19:12.319 --> 00:19:14.400
I need I need prayer because I've got these thoughts

296
00:19:14.400 --> 00:19:16.200
in my head. You know what I mean, Paul said it.

297
00:19:16.480 --> 00:19:18.440
When I'm doing I have, you know what I want

298
00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:20.200
to do? Good? I got it, bad thoughts, evil thoughts.

299
00:19:20.200 --> 00:19:22.319
And when I'm evil, I got good thoughts. I mean

300
00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:27.240
the inner the enemy in the inner me, our flesh

301
00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:31.319
fights with the Holy Spirit on a daily only day.

302
00:19:31.359 --> 00:19:33.119
It's okay you. I mean, we know at least how

303
00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:35.799
to fight, We know how to calm it down. These

304
00:19:35.839 --> 00:19:41.759
babies don't know. And I fought churches because churches, especially

305
00:19:43.079 --> 00:19:48.359
more uh non into non denominational, have no children's church,

306
00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:51.519
they don't have Sunday school. And believe it or not,

307
00:19:51.680 --> 00:19:55.599
those are some vital times you had to read that

308
00:19:55.640 --> 00:19:59.440
little booklet and everything else and participate before the big

309
00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:01.920
you know, certain is this happened or before you were

310
00:20:01.920 --> 00:20:04.960
dismissed at children's church. We don't even have that anymore.

311
00:20:06.880 --> 00:20:10.079
So we will pray. We will pray for both families.

312
00:20:10.960 --> 00:20:17.880
We'll pray for both. And there's more to come. There's

313
00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:20.519
more to come, pastor you want to jump in on this,

314
00:20:20.599 --> 00:20:22.279
and then we're going to segue to our topic.

315
00:20:26.039 --> 00:20:31.640
I I listened to this topic very carefully because right

316
00:20:31.680 --> 00:20:36.000
now we're in a in a pivotal point in our

317
00:20:36.079 --> 00:20:41.640
life where we have to decipher what's truth and what's trash.

318
00:20:42.279 --> 00:20:47.759
And as you were speaking, I came up with.

319
00:20:49.680 --> 00:20:55.039
A couple of scriptures that really hit home to what

320
00:20:55.079 --> 00:20:56.799
you're talking about.

321
00:20:58.720 --> 00:21:03.960
And one of the and everyone who may have witnessed

322
00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:06.599
this go on at the school, YEP.

323
00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:07.880
That's correct.

324
00:21:08.799 --> 00:21:13.599
But one of the verses that we really need to

325
00:21:14.279 --> 00:21:20.640
approach comes from Romans twelve two and it says it

326
00:21:20.759 --> 00:21:24.720
very clearly, and do not be conformed to this.

327
00:21:24.680 --> 00:21:30.359
World, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.

328
00:21:31.640 --> 00:21:36.160
And as Trey touched on it, it.

329
00:21:35.119 --> 00:21:38.799
All affects of what we think, what is it that

330
00:21:38.839 --> 00:21:46.160
we put in our heads that really establishes the path

331
00:21:46.200 --> 00:21:47.200
that we have to walk on.

332
00:21:47.799 --> 00:21:50.640
Are we walking in the world's way of thinking or

333
00:21:50.680 --> 00:21:53.920
do we want to walk in God's way of thinking

334
00:21:54.440 --> 00:21:55.799
or God's way of living?

335
00:21:56.440 --> 00:22:00.519
And this is why it's so important, and it's interesting

336
00:22:00.559 --> 00:22:04.000
my wife and I were talking about it that lessonless

337
00:22:04.039 --> 00:22:06.240
people are really focusing on God.

338
00:22:06.599 --> 00:22:12.200
It's because he's not tangible. We can't see him. So

339
00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:16.880
if we can't see them, then what's the point?

340
00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:21.319
But then the question is where's your faith?

341
00:22:23.799 --> 00:22:28.960
And that's why Paul says it very clearly about renewing

342
00:22:29.319 --> 00:22:33.920
of your mind, and if you go to Philippians, it

343
00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:37.720
also talks about that we need to have a mind

344
00:22:38.119 --> 00:22:45.960
of Christ. Christ is loving, Christ is encouraging, Christ is edified,

345
00:22:46.279 --> 00:22:53.000
Christ is uplifting, Christ is helping. Christ is loving. But

346
00:22:53.039 --> 00:22:56.480
the world doesn't do it that way. The world wants

347
00:22:56.559 --> 00:23:00.480
to stomp on you, the world wants to cut in you,

348
00:23:00.759 --> 00:23:03.200
the world wants to take it from you. The world

349
00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:07.640
wants to do everything against what God wants to do.

350
00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:15.319
And that's why even though all of the bad things happen,

351
00:23:15.839 --> 00:23:19.119
we have to say, God, we believe you're going to

352
00:23:19.200 --> 00:23:21.799
do something good out of that and that's where you

353
00:23:21.880 --> 00:23:24.440
have to go to Romans eight twenty eight, and it

354
00:23:24.519 --> 00:23:28.079
says that we know that all things work together for

355
00:23:28.200 --> 00:23:33.599
the good to those who love God. So even despite

356
00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:36.920
everything of the negative things going on in this world,

357
00:23:37.160 --> 00:23:40.960
our trust is in God to be able to reveal

358
00:23:41.119 --> 00:23:47.160
to us his beauty, his love, his grace, his mercy.

359
00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:53.960
Because when Jesus died on the cross, it was a

360
00:23:54.000 --> 00:23:58.960
painful death. People don't understand them, but yet God took

361
00:23:59.079 --> 00:24:04.960
them and made it good by giving us grace and

362
00:24:05.079 --> 00:24:09.000
mercy for those who believe in Him will.

363
00:24:08.839 --> 00:24:15.920
Have everlasting life and be with Christ for all eternity.

364
00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:23.359
All eternity. We can't that's a number we can't even

365
00:24:23.359 --> 00:24:24.480
put in our head.

366
00:24:25.119 --> 00:24:31.880
That's right, So I yes, there is something we can do.

367
00:24:33.240 --> 00:24:36.920
Let's be the living sacrifices, and let's be the example

368
00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:42.599
of God's grace, mercy and love. That way, when somebody

369
00:24:42.599 --> 00:24:45.319
points the finger at us, they're going to point the.

370
00:24:45.240 --> 00:24:51.559
Finger at either he's real or he's fake. And I'd

371
00:24:51.640 --> 00:24:55.920
rather be the example of God's grace and mercy by

372
00:24:56.000 --> 00:24:57.759
being a reflection of him.

373
00:24:58.680 --> 00:25:04.720
Men. Amen, Amen. Well, we're gonna segue to all a

374
00:25:04.880 --> 00:25:12.880
day of a observation and it's really califunny. I can't

375
00:25:12.880 --> 00:25:16.759
make this up. It's only calendar. It's only calendar. And

376
00:25:16.920 --> 00:25:22.279
today or tomorrow the nineteenth's World Toilet Day. And I'm

377
00:25:22.319 --> 00:25:24.720
going to get through this, so I've got to read it. Okay,

378
00:25:24.720 --> 00:25:27.400
because i didn't memorize this script. Okay, here we go,

379
00:25:28.079 --> 00:25:32.839
uh world National. World Toilet Day is a United Nations observice.

380
00:25:32.839 --> 00:25:35.119
See we keep talking about the United Nations. I'm gonna

381
00:25:35.160 --> 00:25:36.559
go to one of those meetings. I think we needed

382
00:25:36.599 --> 00:25:38.720
to take a little field trip and go to one

383
00:25:38.720 --> 00:25:41.880
of those meetings and say, what do y'all what y'all

384
00:25:41.960 --> 00:25:44.680
talk about? How'd y'all come up with this stuff? But anyway, okay,

385
00:25:44.680 --> 00:25:48.880
we go on November nineteenth. That highlights a serious problem.

386
00:25:49.240 --> 00:25:53.119
Two point five billion people in the world do not

387
00:25:53.279 --> 00:25:59.160
have access to proper sanitation. About two point five billion

388
00:25:59.200 --> 00:26:05.960
people don't have access to a toilet. These folks celebrate

389
00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:09.720
World Toilet Day each year. Thousands of people join in

390
00:26:09.839 --> 00:26:16.559
on promoting World Toilet Day via social media campaigns, online petitions,

391
00:26:16.880 --> 00:26:19.680
and by getting involved in a range of events held

392
00:26:19.680 --> 00:26:25.240
in different countries worldwide public life. World Toilet Day is

393
00:26:25.279 --> 00:26:30.519
a global observance and are not and not a public holiday.

394
00:26:32.200 --> 00:26:35.400
Let's see, the provision of proper toilets could save the

395
00:26:35.480 --> 00:26:38.960
lives of more than two hundred thousand children in the world.

396
00:26:39.279 --> 00:26:44.279
According to the UN, the countries were open oh where

397
00:26:44.400 --> 00:26:49.240
open defecation is most widely practiced are the same countries

398
00:26:49.319 --> 00:26:53.599
with the highest numbers of under five child deaths, high

399
00:26:53.720 --> 00:27:00.960
levels of undernutrition and poverty, and large wealth disparities. Over

400
00:27:01.039 --> 00:27:05.039
one billion people defecate in the open due to the

401
00:27:05.119 --> 00:27:10.680
lack of proper proper toilet facilities. International organizations, particularly the

402
00:27:10.680 --> 00:27:17.880
World Toilet Organization, have promoted World Toilet Day for years.

403
00:27:18.799 --> 00:27:22.680
In twenty thirteen, the UN officially recognized November nineteenth as

404
00:27:22.759 --> 00:27:26.359
World Toilet Day in a bid to make sanitation for

405
00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:31.359
all a global development priority. It deemed the practice of

406
00:27:31.960 --> 00:27:35.960
chair excuse me, guys, sorry about that. It deemed the

407
00:27:36.000 --> 00:27:41.799
practice of open air defecation as extremely harmful to public health.

408
00:27:42.599 --> 00:27:45.680
Did you know more people than the world have a

409
00:27:45.720 --> 00:27:51.160
mobile phone than a toilet. Of the world's seven billion people,

410
00:27:51.880 --> 00:27:56.519
six billion have mobile phones. However, only four point five

411
00:27:56.640 --> 00:28:01.680
billion have access to toilets or latrine, meaning that two

412
00:28:01.720 --> 00:28:06.240
point five billion people, mostly in rural areas, do not

413
00:28:06.400 --> 00:28:12.480
have proper sanitation World Toilet Day observances.

414
00:28:14.519 --> 00:28:14.920
Mm hmm.

415
00:28:17.039 --> 00:28:19.039
I'm gonna let that marinate a little bit. I'm gonna

416
00:28:19.079 --> 00:28:20.920
let that just let that sit there for a minute

417
00:28:21.200 --> 00:28:25.039
in the vinegar and the salt. I can confirm that.

418
00:28:25.680 --> 00:28:32.119
I can confirm that because my wife just came from Africa.

419
00:28:32.480 --> 00:28:34.680
And uh, that was.

420
00:28:36.480 --> 00:28:44.839
Very challenging, very challenging, she said, and uh and and

421
00:28:44.839 --> 00:28:58.039
and basically yeah, and and and and and I even

422
00:28:58.119 --> 00:29:01.400
witnessed it when I went to Mexico. There's a hole

423
00:29:01.400 --> 00:29:05.960
in the ground. There's a hole in the ground. And

424
00:29:06.119 --> 00:29:12.960
in Africa it's when they went to Kenya, they were

425
00:29:13.240 --> 00:29:19.240
they had to build an.

426
00:29:17.119 --> 00:29:21.640
Ouhouse or a building for children to go to the bathroom.

427
00:29:22.160 --> 00:29:25.240
And one of the major diseases, and a lot of

428
00:29:25.279 --> 00:29:30.640
people don't understand cholera is a deadly disease and that

429
00:29:30.920 --> 00:29:34.119
is from or sanitation.

430
00:29:35.400 --> 00:29:39.839
And we definitely take things for granted. And that is

431
00:29:39.920 --> 00:29:40.920
one of those things.

432
00:29:40.960 --> 00:29:47.119
Because when my wife stayed in in a guest house

433
00:29:47.200 --> 00:29:50.680
while they were in Uganda, there were eight rooms.

434
00:29:51.240 --> 00:29:55.079
Half of them had a commode and half of them

435
00:29:55.200 --> 00:29:57.759
had a hole in the ground.

436
00:29:58.720 --> 00:30:03.200
And if you you didn't have good balance, you would

437
00:30:04.160 --> 00:30:05.599
you can fall in there.

438
00:30:05.440 --> 00:30:09.200
And then that could be a pretty nasty situation.

439
00:30:09.640 --> 00:30:28.119
So I'll just bile out now because Yeah.

440
00:30:20.920 --> 00:30:25.480
And I know a young lady here in Florida that's

441
00:30:25.519 --> 00:30:30.599
trying to get upgrade the bathrooms in prisons here in Florida.

442
00:30:30.920 --> 00:30:33.799
And I'm not sure at all to what extent she's doing,

443
00:30:33.839 --> 00:30:37.480
but she is active and that's her sole mission. One

444
00:30:37.519 --> 00:30:41.160
of her sole missions is to upgrade the bathrooms in

445
00:30:41.200 --> 00:30:47.160
the jails in the prisons. Rather so it's home, it's home,

446
00:30:47.799 --> 00:30:54.279
it's here, it's in her backyard as well. I don't

447
00:30:54.319 --> 00:30:56.599
know what you can mean, because I've never heard of

448
00:30:56.839 --> 00:30:59.960
this is yes, it is misty. I was just checking

449
00:31:00.079 --> 00:31:04.680
the calendar for topics and solved that and read what

450
00:31:04.759 --> 00:31:07.559
I just read to you. I've never heard of it.

451
00:31:08.160 --> 00:31:09.720
I didn't know it was a part of the UN's

452
00:31:09.839 --> 00:31:15.160
you know, agenda. What are they doing about it? Now

453
00:31:15.200 --> 00:31:17.279
that you know about it? What are they doing about it?

454
00:31:18.400 --> 00:31:22.880
You know, that's all new to me. I don't know.

455
00:31:24.240 --> 00:31:27.839
I'm just hearing it. And I said, Okay, we need

456
00:31:27.839 --> 00:31:31.640
to bring this up because here's yet another situation. I

457
00:31:31.680 --> 00:31:35.440
got a letter today from the town where my office

458
00:31:35.480 --> 00:31:38.960
building is to talk about I guess they've been doing

459
00:31:39.000 --> 00:31:43.079
some research into whether or not there's lead in the

460
00:31:43.119 --> 00:31:47.119
water here over in that space, and they said, if

461
00:31:47.160 --> 00:31:49.720
you don't hear from us by the sixteenth, then there

462
00:31:49.759 --> 00:31:52.799
was no lead found. But they've been doing researching and

463
00:31:52.839 --> 00:31:54.640
going on the property. I don't know how they could

464
00:31:54.640 --> 00:31:56.680
get to the water because they'd have to dig a

465
00:31:56.680 --> 00:31:59.480
hole because I got a cover on my spricket there,

466
00:31:59.359 --> 00:32:03.799
so you'll be going, you know, using my water. But

467
00:32:03.880 --> 00:32:06.359
I just I don't know what. I just got this

468
00:32:06.440 --> 00:32:09.160
letter today and I got to hold on to it

469
00:32:09.200 --> 00:32:19.200
because I'm like, wait a minute, land in the water, Okay, okay,

470
00:32:20.240 --> 00:32:27.880
you gotta listen. You gotta listen, and don't be surprised

471
00:32:27.920 --> 00:32:33.000
at what we're gonna hear. Don't be surprised as to

472
00:32:33.119 --> 00:32:37.119
what we're gonna hear. You're talking about sickness. Excuse me, guys,

473
00:32:37.160 --> 00:32:41.720
I'm so sorry. She if the wind blow, she's gonna

474
00:32:42.160 --> 00:32:48.799
work like because she's friding her voice. Now anyway, I

475
00:32:48.839 --> 00:32:51.000
don't know. I'm just and then I get this letter

476
00:32:51.039 --> 00:32:54.599
today and I'm just like, okay, lord, okay, all right,

477
00:32:54.880 --> 00:33:03.599
I had to excuse me, guys, y'all take it from here. Well,

478
00:33:04.160 --> 00:33:06.559
it makes me wonder because.

479
00:33:07.920 --> 00:33:09.359
Where do pipes connect.

480
00:33:10.359 --> 00:33:12.480
You know, we know this systems.

481
00:33:12.519 --> 00:33:14.079
You know you have a sink, you know you have

482
00:33:14.119 --> 00:33:16.440
a toilet, and you know you have a shower or

483
00:33:16.440 --> 00:33:16.880
a tub.

484
00:33:16.960 --> 00:33:21.240
Maybe where does it crossover?

485
00:33:21.400 --> 00:33:25.160
Does it crossover? You know? Where is this excess water?

486
00:33:25.319 --> 00:33:27.000
Is it purefied, is it recycled?

487
00:33:27.000 --> 00:33:27.400
What does it?

488
00:33:27.440 --> 00:33:32.079
Don't I don't understand it, And so I can only

489
00:33:32.119 --> 00:33:36.119
imagine that something like lead would be.

490
00:33:37.000 --> 00:33:38.319
It's probably a lot of stuff.

491
00:33:38.400 --> 00:33:41.039
And I was just thinking about that the other day,

492
00:33:41.119 --> 00:33:42.039
you know, when.

493
00:33:43.960 --> 00:33:46.359
I was watching the video and they were talking about

494
00:33:47.680 --> 00:33:50.400
ships having to be cleaned because a lot of barnacles

495
00:33:50.400 --> 00:33:53.480
on these big ships can can attach them over time

496
00:33:53.559 --> 00:33:57.039
and wait actually add a lot of weight to the ship.

497
00:33:57.359 --> 00:34:00.720
You know they're scraping that. But then.

498
00:34:02.079 --> 00:34:03.799
You know, when you're out, if you if you have

499
00:34:03.920 --> 00:34:06.240
to where did they dump waste?

500
00:34:06.359 --> 00:34:09.480
Where does that if on a waste from a cargo

501
00:34:09.559 --> 00:34:12.599
ship or a cruise ship, where's all that going?

502
00:34:13.360 --> 00:34:13.880
And how do.

503
00:34:13.880 --> 00:34:18.079
You filter large amounts of water like that? So it

504
00:34:18.159 --> 00:34:21.159
just makes me not trying to get the growth, but

505
00:34:21.599 --> 00:34:25.840
I can only imagine stuff crossing like that. And if

506
00:34:25.880 --> 00:34:30.039
you're looking at you know, how do you solve the

507
00:34:30.079 --> 00:34:32.320
toilet problem. I don't know, because it seems like you

508
00:34:32.320 --> 00:34:35.920
would have to have a water system, you know, otherwise.

509
00:34:35.519 --> 00:34:36.360
You're just digging a hole.

510
00:34:36.400 --> 00:34:41.199
You know, it's just digner I don't understand it.

511
00:34:42.559 --> 00:34:46.920
I'm just trains really trying to find a way out

512
00:34:46.920 --> 00:34:50.800
of this. I'm trying to figure it out.

513
00:34:54.679 --> 00:35:08.320
We can't the whole world going to pot huh.

514
00:35:03.360 --> 00:35:06.559
Because you don't go back. They don't go back until

515
00:35:06.559 --> 00:35:10.440
it's drainage issue, flooding issue. You don't go back and

516
00:35:10.519 --> 00:35:13.400
check these potholes or not potholes, these holes. There's sewage

517
00:35:13.440 --> 00:35:16.559
draining systems and stuff like that. That's why, well, two

518
00:35:16.639 --> 00:35:20.519
days of rain here in Orlando flooded, two days of rain,

519
00:35:20.599 --> 00:35:23.920
not a storm, just two days of rain. Rolls are

520
00:35:23.920 --> 00:35:27.199
flooded because you don't people throwing their trash out the

521
00:35:27.239 --> 00:35:30.599
car and that stuff eventually rolls down to the big drave.

522
00:35:30.840 --> 00:35:33.440
But do the people who have the situation want others

523
00:35:33.480 --> 00:35:35.760
in their business and want in their business and want help.

524
00:35:35.960 --> 00:35:38.239
Sometimes we try to impose other way our ways on

525
00:35:38.320 --> 00:35:41.000
others and they don't want the change. I have not

526
00:35:41.079 --> 00:35:43.239
come up with the right suggestion yet as far as

527
00:35:43.320 --> 00:35:46.719
the assignment goes okay, oh, you have to sneak that

528
00:35:46.800 --> 00:35:53.280
in their country. See, okay, you're being in like the politicians,

529
00:35:53.320 --> 00:35:55.760
they add all kinds of bills into the main bills.

530
00:35:55.800 --> 00:35:57.639
You know, that's called pork.

531
00:35:58.960 --> 00:35:59.239
Pork.

532
00:36:00.599 --> 00:36:05.159
Actually, Country c brings up a very good point, and

533
00:36:05.199 --> 00:36:10.920
that was something that my wife noticed a lot in

534
00:36:11.760 --> 00:36:16.920
in Africa. Uh And and the one point that my

535
00:36:17.000 --> 00:36:18.199
wife really brought up.

536
00:36:18.199 --> 00:36:22.760
Is that when we try to bring our way of thinking,

537
00:36:22.840 --> 00:36:25.880
our way of doing things, and they see it for

538
00:36:25.960 --> 00:36:30.519
the first time, they can't grasp the concept.

539
00:36:30.800 --> 00:36:34.119
If they've never seen it, they don't know what to

540
00:36:34.159 --> 00:36:34.760
do with it.

541
00:36:36.159 --> 00:36:40.039
And and that was one of the things that that

542
00:36:40.199 --> 00:36:43.679
really disturbed my wife is that when we when we

543
00:36:44.000 --> 00:36:48.280
come from the US to help somebody out in.

544
00:36:48.199 --> 00:36:52.599
Another country, we're going to their country and we're trying

545
00:36:52.599 --> 00:36:55.119
to bring what we think is normal to them when

546
00:36:55.119 --> 00:36:56.599
they don't really know about it.

547
00:36:57.719 --> 00:36:59.519
I got to think about the horde. Can I say

548
00:36:59.519 --> 00:37:02.679
that the ate this no anaesthesia? The dog didn't eat

549
00:37:02.679 --> 00:37:05.079
the hole? See you know what I was slack. I

550
00:37:05.119 --> 00:37:06.760
guess well, we're gonna talk about it before we get

551
00:37:06.800 --> 00:37:08.679
off the show. How about that? How about that? And

552
00:37:08.760 --> 00:37:11.719
everybody got the regular little point Charles YouTube. Don't be trying,

553
00:37:12.000 --> 00:37:18.079
be don't beat, I warned y'all. But that's a great point, Pastor,

554
00:37:18.119 --> 00:37:22.880
because you know, I mean, I would think, okay, just

555
00:37:22.920 --> 00:37:25.639
like when we go to webinars or we go to workshops,

556
00:37:25.679 --> 00:37:28.679
those people who are gonna facilitate and train us or

557
00:37:28.719 --> 00:37:32.400
teach us or share the information, they know something I

558
00:37:32.559 --> 00:37:35.320
want to know about. So I would I would think

559
00:37:35.400 --> 00:37:38.960
that people would say, oh, they're coming from America, and

560
00:37:39.000 --> 00:37:42.920
that's you know, of course, that's industry, that's you know, America.

561
00:37:43.199 --> 00:37:45.199
So I want what kind of ideas they have. But

562
00:37:45.320 --> 00:37:49.719
what has happened is just like we get so comfortable

563
00:37:51.440 --> 00:37:55.199
that we wear this and it's no big deal to

564
00:37:55.360 --> 00:37:59.599
us because this is the way of life, This is

565
00:37:59.599 --> 00:38:01.320
the way all, this is the way we do it.

566
00:38:02.159 --> 00:38:05.280
I've talked to some people about their culture, and I said, so,

567
00:38:05.840 --> 00:38:10.000
because it's culture, you have to do it at the

568
00:38:10.079 --> 00:38:13.920
same time you're trying. It goes against the will of God.

569
00:38:13.960 --> 00:38:17.559
We can find scriptures on it, but it's culture. Oh okay,

570
00:38:17.599 --> 00:38:20.880
So that's the culture, and you have to go in saying,

571
00:38:21.159 --> 00:38:23.239
do you all want what is it that y'all want

572
00:38:23.280 --> 00:38:26.559
to change? I do not believe. That's one thing I

573
00:38:26.599 --> 00:38:29.559
do not believe that we need to go that you

574
00:38:29.679 --> 00:38:32.280
go into a meeting, or you go to help a school,

575
00:38:32.599 --> 00:38:34.679
you're called in and I was called in to help,

576
00:38:34.719 --> 00:38:37.880
to be a PTA, help of the PTA, and I'm like, okay,

577
00:38:38.199 --> 00:38:40.280
let me talk to the parents. What do y'all need here?

578
00:38:40.679 --> 00:38:42.519
I'm gonna talk to the teachers in a minute. But Paris,

579
00:38:42.599 --> 00:38:44.599
what do you think? What do you what do you need?

580
00:38:44.679 --> 00:38:47.920
What do you need us to do? And then I

581
00:38:48.000 --> 00:38:49.760
turned to the teachers that say, well, what are you thinking?

582
00:38:49.840 --> 00:38:54.639
How can we help? You need training, you need workshops,

583
00:38:54.639 --> 00:38:56.719
you need more people. We need to bring in more

584
00:38:56.760 --> 00:39:00.079
people from the outside to paint the school. What he

585
00:39:00.119 --> 00:39:02.519
said that you need. So I always like to go

586
00:39:02.599 --> 00:39:05.519
in and I have the posted paper that stick to

587
00:39:05.559 --> 00:39:08.960
the wall, and let's write it down. Let's write down

588
00:39:09.000 --> 00:39:11.480
some ideas, let's put some deadlines on it. And then

589
00:39:11.519 --> 00:39:13.639
sometimes don't be surprised that people say, no, I don't

590
00:39:13.639 --> 00:39:18.519
want any help. As a social worker, I encountered that

591
00:39:18.800 --> 00:39:20.719
I would go in. Here's an eighty year old lady.

592
00:39:20.840 --> 00:39:23.119
There's the biggest spiders I've ever seen in my life,

593
00:39:23.400 --> 00:39:25.679
and she she's got shoes at the door. She's got

594
00:39:25.760 --> 00:39:30.039
the old newspaper stocked up, and she a holder. Is nothing,

595
00:39:30.079 --> 00:39:34.719
it's not even a compliment. And I said, mother, I

596
00:39:34.760 --> 00:39:37.599
know there's drug dealers out the window, out on the street.

597
00:39:37.599 --> 00:39:42.039
They're watching me. They saw my badge. I said, mother,

598
00:39:42.320 --> 00:39:46.079
you want to move? No, this is my house, this

599
00:39:46.159 --> 00:39:48.559
is this is all I got. I don't I've outlived

600
00:39:48.599 --> 00:39:51.280
my family, that's all I got. I had to go

601
00:39:51.400 --> 00:39:55.480
back to my supervisor, who's a nurse, and tell us

602
00:39:55.519 --> 00:39:57.440
she don't want to move. She goes, well, that's impossible.

603
00:39:57.599 --> 00:40:00.559
I said, no, it's impossible in your mind. I asked

604
00:40:00.559 --> 00:40:04.440
her the question, do you want to do? You want

605
00:40:04.480 --> 00:40:07.840
us to help you find a better play? No, I'm

606
00:40:07.840 --> 00:40:11.360
not going. And I already knew she had such a

607
00:40:11.400 --> 00:40:14.559
relationship with the guys selling drugs outside the door. If

608
00:40:14.559 --> 00:40:17.480
she'd hollered or yelled or whatever, I wouldn't even be

609
00:40:17.480 --> 00:40:23.719
here today, even though they looked like me, because they

610
00:40:23.760 --> 00:40:29.360
protected her. And she's never been by all the insects

611
00:40:29.440 --> 00:40:37.480
in her house. I couldn't even sit down anywhere. So

612
00:40:37.599 --> 00:40:39.639
we have to ask. I mean, yeah, we can look

613
00:40:39.679 --> 00:40:42.000
at you and I can say, oh, wow, you know, Tray

614
00:40:42.000 --> 00:40:44.639
could use this Tray could finally use this.

615
00:40:44.519 --> 00:40:44.960
And this and that.

616
00:40:45.400 --> 00:40:47.960
But if Trey is not saying, you know what, I

617
00:40:48.000 --> 00:40:54.400
really need, I just really need this, he's like, Oh,

618
00:40:54.840 --> 00:40:58.119
don't you dare say, but go ahead?

619
00:40:58.239 --> 00:41:02.000
No, that was concept you know, just and less you know,

620
00:41:02.119 --> 00:41:04.159
because you know, Lisa, we did a lot of work.

621
00:41:05.719 --> 00:41:09.599
In Palmase County and so you learned more of that.

622
00:41:09.760 --> 00:41:16.880
People engage are more engaging or more apt to.

623
00:41:18.960 --> 00:41:20.719
If they're empowered to do it.

624
00:41:21.440 --> 00:41:23.320
So if you go in and say, you know what,

625
00:41:23.880 --> 00:41:25.840
just like you were saying, I think this will be

626
00:41:25.840 --> 00:41:29.239
good for you, let them make the decision. If in

627
00:41:29.639 --> 00:41:33.800
the solution focused what would be your miracle for your situation,

628
00:41:34.639 --> 00:41:35.760
if you were to go.

629
00:41:35.679 --> 00:41:38.840
To sleep, have a dream, then realize your dream, what

630
00:41:38.880 --> 00:41:41.000
would be different about your life or what would you

631
00:41:41.039 --> 00:41:44.400
want to change. So they're more apt to make changes

632
00:41:44.480 --> 00:41:47.239
if they initiated.

633
00:41:47.239 --> 00:41:50.280
Because we noticed a lot of services come and gone

634
00:41:50.320 --> 00:41:53.400
because people weren't using them because you didn't invite.

635
00:41:53.039 --> 00:41:57.079
The people that that needed you thought needed the service.

636
00:41:58.320 --> 00:42:00.760
You didn't get the input from them who live in

637
00:42:00.800 --> 00:42:04.639
the community. And so you know, one of the glades.

638
00:42:04.320 --> 00:42:11.000
Area of people didn't want to go rule yeah, and

639
00:42:11.000 --> 00:42:11.960
and and.

640
00:42:13.199 --> 00:42:17.159
But when I say humble, a lot of humble folks.

641
00:42:17.239 --> 00:42:20.400
Sometimes we need to remember people have their own we

642
00:42:20.559 --> 00:42:22.800
will do one may not be good for the.

643
00:42:22.760 --> 00:42:26.760
Other, exactly misty. So people didn't want to People did

644
00:42:26.800 --> 00:42:28.960
not want to go out to that part of Palm

645
00:42:29.000 --> 00:42:31.519
Beach County. But when I say, some of the most

646
00:42:31.559 --> 00:42:34.000
friendly folks.

647
00:42:33.000 --> 00:42:37.320
That lived there, beautiful spots there. You know, everywhere has

648
00:42:37.519 --> 00:42:39.079
their troubles and stuff like that.

649
00:42:39.639 --> 00:42:40.559
But they were.

650
00:42:42.360 --> 00:42:45.039
A hard working area because you know, it's migrant work,

651
00:42:45.199 --> 00:42:46.239
a lot of farming, a.

652
00:42:46.199 --> 00:42:47.320
Lot of a lot of heart.

653
00:42:47.360 --> 00:42:50.719
I saw it for myself and I said, Lord, have mercy.

654
00:42:50.840 --> 00:42:54.480
These folks are resilient, They're strong.

655
00:42:54.920 --> 00:42:55.679
I mean, I don't know.

656
00:42:55.719 --> 00:42:57.119
The conditions weren't great.

657
00:42:57.159 --> 00:43:00.239
You're talking about toilets not having them accessible well, And

658
00:43:00.280 --> 00:43:03.840
I understand by talking to the people from there, it.

659
00:43:03.760 --> 00:43:07.920
Was worse years ago. It was worse, you know, because

660
00:43:08.440 --> 00:43:11.480
it was almost like slavery. I've never seen. It was

661
00:43:11.519 --> 00:43:12.679
like close to slavery.

662
00:43:13.280 --> 00:43:16.079
And it was no lunch breaks per se, because if

663
00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:17.880
you you you.

664
00:43:17.840 --> 00:43:18.960
Made money by the piece.

665
00:43:19.920 --> 00:43:22.679
So if you eat lunch pieces, you know what I mean.

666
00:43:22.719 --> 00:43:25.960
And so people don't understand that, and I would, I

667
00:43:25.960 --> 00:43:31.159
would task someone to research that because I learned something.

668
00:43:32.400 --> 00:43:34.480
Being in that area and talking.

669
00:43:34.159 --> 00:43:41.239
To people about that, about the industry and so. But

670
00:43:41.320 --> 00:43:44.360
there were some some proud people and you know a

671
00:43:44.360 --> 00:43:47.679
lot of them thrived, but you know that they did

672
00:43:47.719 --> 00:43:48.400
some hard work.

673
00:43:49.360 --> 00:43:51.440
They did a lot of hard work, and so it

674
00:43:51.480 --> 00:43:53.119
was it's just I don't know.

675
00:43:54.280 --> 00:43:57.480
Well, as says as a as a man thinking he is,

676
00:43:58.880 --> 00:44:01.800
and unless you show me something different. I just wanted

677
00:44:01.840 --> 00:44:03.400
to put it out there, hoping to get a bit

678
00:44:03.440 --> 00:44:06.159
more time. Maybe we could just lend a helping handle

679
00:44:06.159 --> 00:44:09.039
someone for Thanksgiving and do something else before Christmas. Done,

680
00:44:10.159 --> 00:44:12.880
just lend a helpy hand. I was thinking, buy a

681
00:44:12.920 --> 00:44:16.440
meal or two for two before Thanksgiving, maybe four before Christmas,

682
00:44:16.559 --> 00:44:21.239
that we can have cover both holidays. Okay, buy a meal, Okay, okay,

683
00:44:21.280 --> 00:44:23.519
because public is helping you help you if you buy

684
00:44:23.519 --> 00:44:25.960
one of the meal things in the bag or whatever,

685
00:44:26.119 --> 00:44:29.599
you know. So yeah, okay, this go ahead and feed

686
00:44:29.639 --> 00:44:32.119
a couple of people. We're good, and then we'll think

687
00:44:32.119 --> 00:44:36.599
about it for Christmas as well. That's good. Yeah, we

688
00:44:36.639 --> 00:44:39.840
can't force anything on people. If it's worked for them,

689
00:44:40.119 --> 00:44:45.760
it's worked for them. And some people they've made up

690
00:44:45.760 --> 00:44:48.400
their mind this is good for me. This right here,

691
00:44:48.920 --> 00:44:51.599
this little piece right here, this is good for me.

692
00:44:53.199 --> 00:44:56.760
And I'm fine. I don't need any help. You can

693
00:44:56.800 --> 00:45:05.840
go help someone else. And okay, I asked God told

694
00:45:05.920 --> 00:45:08.719
me to send me. I'm here. What can I do

695
00:45:08.760 --> 00:45:16.719
for y'all? What's on your mind? Nothing? We're fine and

696
00:45:17.000 --> 00:45:21.199
we gotta just face that. And one thing we can

697
00:45:21.360 --> 00:45:23.679
do and we're good at it. We can pray about it.

698
00:45:24.639 --> 00:45:27.840
We can put it on our prayer points and say, okay, God,

699
00:45:28.199 --> 00:45:30.239
we you know, I don't know what you oss prayer

700
00:45:30.239 --> 00:45:34.280
points are, but things prayer point is something that really

701
00:45:34.360 --> 00:45:37.400
just bothers you. And there's really nothing you can do.

702
00:45:37.480 --> 00:45:39.880
You can't lend a hand, you can't put money on it,

703
00:45:40.159 --> 00:45:43.119
you can't really do anything about it. So you take

704
00:45:43.119 --> 00:45:45.039
it to God. I don't even get to that deep.

705
00:45:45.119 --> 00:45:47.519
I'm like, if it's on my mind, God, this is

706
00:45:47.559 --> 00:45:49.679
on my mind. I don't know where I'm supposed to.

707
00:45:49.960 --> 00:45:51.519
I don't know what you want me to do, but

708
00:45:51.559 --> 00:45:53.320
I got to take it to you. And God has

709
00:45:53.360 --> 00:45:56.039
said to me, that's one thing he appreciates about me,

710
00:45:56.079 --> 00:46:00.719
because I'll bring everybody into accountability. If I got a

711
00:46:00.800 --> 00:46:03.400
question or whatever, you know, I'm curious. Oh, I'm like

712
00:46:03.480 --> 00:46:06.920
a disturbed. I'm like this, don't sun Father God, we

713
00:46:07.000 --> 00:46:09.599
all we should also find things we no longer lead

714
00:46:09.639 --> 00:46:11.679
and donate to charity they can give to someone who

715
00:46:11.719 --> 00:46:14.320
needs it. Thank you, Nicky. Yes, I just did that.

716
00:46:15.000 --> 00:46:18.360
Dropped off bags. I'm in miss the movie and I'm

717
00:46:18.400 --> 00:46:19.960
also you know, people are like, well, you need to

718
00:46:19.960 --> 00:46:22.119
go hit the movie. No I don't. I can take

719
00:46:22.159 --> 00:46:25.239
my time on this one, thank you, because I've got

720
00:46:25.239 --> 00:46:27.639
to get rid of stuff. I'm not gonna wear that.

721
00:46:28.840 --> 00:46:31.320
I'm not gonna get down to that side, even on

722
00:46:31.360 --> 00:46:34.159
a good day, so I can let it go. Those

723
00:46:34.159 --> 00:46:37.199
shoes they comforted me when I needed them, but I

724
00:46:37.199 --> 00:46:41.159
don't need them anymore. Now I don't need that look anymore.

725
00:46:41.239 --> 00:46:46.320
I don't need those things anymore. Yeah, get rid of it,

726
00:46:46.320 --> 00:46:48.719
because where you're gonna put the new? God wants to

727
00:46:48.760 --> 00:46:51.400
give us new. Where are you gonna put the new

728
00:46:51.480 --> 00:46:54.000
of you? Even you have no room? Get rid of

729
00:46:54.039 --> 00:46:56.440
the old. That's one thing I want to charge everybody.

730
00:46:56.880 --> 00:46:59.360
Get rid of. Go ahead and get a garbage bag

731
00:46:59.639 --> 00:47:04.559
and just go through whatever, the house, the garage, the attic, whatever,

732
00:47:05.079 --> 00:47:08.280
Let it go. You ain't use it. That was I

733
00:47:08.320 --> 00:47:11.440
found something I ain't seen it in a while. That's

734
00:47:11.480 --> 00:47:13.400
a good idea. Yeah, we have things we don't use

735
00:47:13.480 --> 00:47:16.039
for somebody else. Yes, I took it right to Salvation Army.

736
00:47:16.559 --> 00:47:19.639
No shame in the game. Let me tell you when

737
00:47:19.639 --> 00:47:22.079
I used to have the age working, you know with me,

738
00:47:22.639 --> 00:47:25.000
one of my age I had just took a whole

739
00:47:25.159 --> 00:47:27.440
I had somebody to take a whole bag full of

740
00:47:27.440 --> 00:47:33.239
stuff to Goodwill for me. I wasn't driving at the time,

741
00:47:33.960 --> 00:47:35.920
and she came in her late shift and there was

742
00:47:35.960 --> 00:47:38.440
my She had on my blouse because they had a

743
00:47:38.480 --> 00:47:42.519
stain on it. They had a like bleach staying. Bleach

744
00:47:42.559 --> 00:47:44.800
got on it. And I'm looking at her like, oh wow,

745
00:47:47.320 --> 00:47:51.639
oh wow, hey lord. Okay, it humbled me even more.

746
00:47:53.280 --> 00:47:57.559
It humbled me even more. So it went to somebody

747
00:47:57.599 --> 00:48:02.320
and it looked good on her too. I cannot.

748
00:48:02.400 --> 00:48:04.800
I just want to input one thing that just came

749
00:48:04.840 --> 00:48:05.679
across my mind.

750
00:48:07.039 --> 00:48:07.800
Sometimes.

751
00:48:08.480 --> 00:48:11.519
But looking at you know, you can go through your

752
00:48:11.519 --> 00:48:15.639
closets and see what you have. But also time, when

753
00:48:15.679 --> 00:48:18.840
I'm saying time five minutes, if you know it's a

754
00:48:18.880 --> 00:48:24.480
local assistant living or nursing home, just if there's something

755
00:48:24.519 --> 00:48:29.519
that's do something maybe I don't know, you could go

756
00:48:29.559 --> 00:48:34.159
pray for someone, just visit or card for just because

757
00:48:34.199 --> 00:48:34.639
some of them.

758
00:48:34.880 --> 00:48:38.760
A lot of people don't have family and it's hard

759
00:48:39.239 --> 00:48:40.239
this time of the year.

760
00:48:41.000 --> 00:48:44.440
I've seen it, and so five minutes or a couple

761
00:48:44.480 --> 00:48:47.280
of minutes, just hey, my name was such and such.

762
00:48:47.360 --> 00:48:50.400
I just want to do a visit and just say

763
00:48:50.440 --> 00:48:53.039
it's friendly, hello, or something like that, because I don't

764
00:48:53.039 --> 00:48:56.360
know with hippo, with you know, regulations and stuff, what

765
00:48:56.400 --> 00:48:59.280
they can do. But five, maybe a couple of minutes

766
00:48:59.280 --> 00:49:04.440
of time to someone, maybe in a nursing facility or

767
00:49:04.480 --> 00:49:05.440
something like that.

768
00:49:05.679 --> 00:49:08.360
You know, walk through it. Just walk through it and

769
00:49:08.480 --> 00:49:11.079
just be praying under your breath. Just walk through it.

770
00:49:11.800 --> 00:49:13.440
That's all you have to do. They're not gonna bother you.

771
00:49:14.199 --> 00:49:16.360
Just sign in like a visitor. Can I help you know,

772
00:49:16.400 --> 00:49:25.679
I'm good, and just walk through. Just yeah, well, it

always say what they need, but putting it out there,

776
00:49:34.719 --> 00:49:37.119
they're able to receive it. That's right, You're right, mistic.

777
00:49:37.400 --> 00:49:40.400
Just put it there. I put stuff out of my rard.

778
00:49:40.599 --> 00:49:42.880
I mean I've got people cleaning. It just takes it.

779
00:49:42.880 --> 00:49:45.400
They just take the stuff it's on the grass. It

780
00:49:45.440 --> 00:49:50.480
is taken like you know, amen, Amen, and you know
