Thank you. Good evening, good evening, good evening and welcome, welcome,
10
00:01:20.510 --> 00:01:22.849
welcome to Setting It Straight with Ms. Gray and her
11
00:01:22.989 --> 00:01:27.069
fabulous co-host, Tonight, I want to do a moment of
12
00:01:27.129 --> 00:01:32.390
silence because we just because of this past weekend and
13
00:01:32.409 --> 00:01:35.379
9-11 and I watched a few of those documentaries. We'll
14
00:01:35.420 --> 00:01:37.500
talk briefly about it, but let's just have a moment
15
00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:41.959
of silence, please, for the families, the survivors, even those
16
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:46.159
whose family members passed away after the event because of
17
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:49.000
the smoke inhalation and things like that. And they developed
18
00:01:49.060 --> 00:01:52.159
all kinds of disorders and diseases. And so let's just
19
00:01:52.200 --> 00:02:03.980
have a moment of silence, if you don't mind. I
20
00:02:04.019 --> 00:02:07.290
know that many people can remember that day and what
21
00:02:07.329 --> 00:02:09.250
you were doing, what you had on. I know I
22
00:02:09.270 --> 00:02:13.050
can remember that day and this weekend, this Friday, I
23
00:02:13.110 --> 00:02:17.629
purposely watched other, uh, other segments that they had up
24
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:20.219
that were new to me. And, uh, I just felt
25
00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:24.840
compelled to watch, um, and just hear the stories and
26
00:02:25.300 --> 00:02:28.780
hear the memories, um, and all that, that those over
27
00:02:28.780 --> 00:02:32.639
3000 people that we lost, um, And I have to
28
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:35.219
tell you, I was thinking about the show even throughout
29
00:02:35.259 --> 00:02:37.889
the weekend. And I was like, you know, I have
30
00:02:37.930 --> 00:02:42.229
to say that every so many years I stop on
31
00:02:42.289 --> 00:02:46.669
September 11th. I stop and just wait. I just wait.
32
00:02:47.430 --> 00:02:49.849
And I'm not I don't know what I'm waiting for,
33
00:02:49.939 --> 00:02:53.719
but it's like, OK. And I make sure strategically that
34
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:57.400
I'm not in a large place. I'm not where I'm
35
00:02:57.439 --> 00:02:58.219
not familiar.
36
00:02:58.240 --> 00:02:59.960
OK.
37
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:00.789
Audio only. OK.
38
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:00.900
OK.
39
00:03:01.389 --> 00:03:07.030
Miss Kay, you're only in audio only. But yeah, I
40
00:03:07.090 --> 00:03:10.129
have those moments that, you know, throughout the years, it's
41
00:03:10.169 --> 00:03:12.629
been over 20 plus years since this has happened. But
42
00:03:13.370 --> 00:03:18.009
I stop and I make sure I'm home. I know
43
00:03:18.030 --> 00:03:21.490
where my kids are. You know, I know their schedule.
44
00:03:21.849 --> 00:03:23.789
And Miss Kay is hearing this for the first time.
45
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:28.250
But ever since, I do take a minute and my
46
00:03:28.289 --> 00:03:30.819
head is on a swivel. I am watching the news.
47
00:03:31.460 --> 00:03:34.960
I'm paying close attention to that just in case, just
48
00:03:35.020 --> 00:03:38.569
in case. So I found myself doing that this weekend
49
00:03:38.629 --> 00:03:40.789
because I'm saying if anybody's going to hit us, this,
50
00:03:40.909 --> 00:03:43.050
you know, it would be over here, be over there,
51
00:03:43.069 --> 00:03:47.740
you know, and it's not bondage. I'm not captivated by it.
52
00:03:47.750 --> 00:03:51.150
I'm not obsessed by it. I'm not. Oh, my God. No,
53
00:03:51.250 --> 00:03:54.159
I'm just telling you, I take a human moment and
54
00:03:54.219 --> 00:03:57.979
I sit with these people not imagining what I would
55
00:03:58.020 --> 00:04:02.159
do if I was in their situation. So I know
56
00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:08.310
everybody has their moments, their experience. They remember, like I said,
57
00:04:08.349 --> 00:04:11.210
I remember I was teaching at the community college in
58
00:04:11.229 --> 00:04:15.900
my hometown. I was in my nice blue shirt, that
59
00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:19.720
long sleeve, real crisp, my blue, navy blue pants and
60
00:04:19.939 --> 00:04:22.579
one of my loafers that I love, leather and a
61
00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:25.699
little alligator skin, but it's all blue. I won't forget that.
62
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:28.100
I had my hair back. And I just taken my
63
00:04:28.220 --> 00:04:30.980
oldest son to the daycare, which was not that far away.
64
00:04:31.459 --> 00:04:34.500
Came back home to change to go to to go
65
00:04:34.540 --> 00:04:37.579
to work. And I'm hearing the TV. I had the
66
00:04:37.620 --> 00:04:40.050
TV on and I'm coming out and I'm but I'm
67
00:04:40.129 --> 00:04:43.490
buttoning my cuff. And I'm like, oh, I wonder what
68
00:04:43.529 --> 00:04:46.009
movie that is. That's when the first airplane had hit.
69
00:04:46.449 --> 00:04:48.629
I said, what movie is that? Oh, my God, that was.
70
00:04:49.129 --> 00:04:51.610
That's kind of artistic that get the plane to look
71
00:04:51.629 --> 00:04:53.930
like it's going into the tower. And then all of
72
00:04:53.949 --> 00:04:56.370
a sudden the commentators reporters say, oh, my God, oh,
73
00:04:56.389 --> 00:04:59.089
my God, is a second one. And I'm like, are
74
00:04:59.110 --> 00:05:01.949
they filming this? Have they already filmed? I'm literally talking
75
00:05:01.970 --> 00:05:04.889
to the TV light and only to find out this
76
00:05:04.949 --> 00:05:08.149
was real time and what was happening. So I I
77
00:05:08.189 --> 00:05:10.170
pause for a minute and I said, no, let me
78
00:05:10.189 --> 00:05:13.050
go to the college. Make sure no one showed up there.
79
00:05:13.660 --> 00:05:15.660
And then I'm going to daycare to get my child
80
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:18.259
because I don't know what's getting ready to fall out.
81
00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:20.879
I don't know. So and I did that. I pulled up.
82
00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:22.740
Some of my students were in the parking lot. They're like,
83
00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:24.019
Miss Gray, what do we do? I said, go home,
84
00:05:24.459 --> 00:05:26.569
go home and you pray. And at that time I
85
00:05:26.629 --> 00:05:29.269
saw George Bush was in Palm Beach County and I
86
00:05:29.329 --> 00:05:36.089
saw Air Force One literally fly over us. So it's
87
00:05:36.290 --> 00:05:40.329
it's it's like a wow. It's like and I went
88
00:05:40.350 --> 00:05:41.930
to the classroom to make sure no one's in there.
89
00:05:41.949 --> 00:05:45.199
The janitors were already there. locking the doors. And then
90
00:05:45.259 --> 00:05:49.579
I went straight down, uh, Congress trade. You would know
91
00:05:49.620 --> 00:05:52.680
that Congress all the way. And I crossed over at
92
00:05:52.860 --> 00:05:55.800
45th street to, uh, for the military trail. Cause the
93
00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:58.779
daycare was in that wind Dixie off a military and
94
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:01.800
45th street. We were right down the street, but right now,
95
00:06:02.100 --> 00:06:04.730
but anyway, I'm not going to stay on that long. Um,
96
00:06:06.089 --> 00:06:08.930
I've got a bone to pick with people and they
97
00:06:08.949 --> 00:06:12.360
don't watch the show. So, Um, so y'all be okay.
98
00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:15.300
Roll call. Don't let me forget stuff. Yeah. I'll call
99
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:17.240
the stuff out if I'm forgetting stuff. Cause I'm really
100
00:06:17.339 --> 00:06:21.220
not myself right now. So, uh, roll call who's listening in.
101
00:06:21.699 --> 00:06:23.230
Let me, come on. Let me see you. Let's let
102
00:06:23.259 --> 00:06:25.009
us see you so we can say hello to you
103
00:06:25.050 --> 00:06:27.470
and everything. And we appreciate you. And I know those
104
00:06:27.509 --> 00:06:29.629
of you who are listening through radio, you're not able
105
00:06:29.649 --> 00:06:31.790
to do that. We appreciate you. But if you can
106
00:06:31.810 --> 00:06:34.449
go to the setting a straight page on Facebook and
107
00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:36.060
just say, Hey, I was on radio, but I could
108
00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:42.110
hear you out of it. Um, This past week, I'm
109
00:06:42.129 --> 00:06:46.850
not surrounded, but I'm in the plow with people who
110
00:06:46.889 --> 00:06:50.870
really just, I don't know what they're thinking. And normally,
111
00:06:50.889 --> 00:06:53.350
you all probably don't realize, but normally I wear a
112
00:06:53.410 --> 00:06:56.569
bracelet with a cross on it. But tonight, I'm just
113
00:06:56.610 --> 00:07:01.589
kind of discombobulated, but I got my mustard seeds from
114
00:07:01.610 --> 00:07:10.879
my group, my tribe, my family. up in the Mississippi, Tennessee, no, Mississippi, Louisiana, Washington, D.C.,
115
00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:14.720
Virginia area. And I grabbed this just now to calm
116
00:07:14.779 --> 00:07:18.779
myself down. I just wish people would just stop playing
117
00:07:18.819 --> 00:07:22.060
with people and your emotions. And part of self-care, which
118
00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:26.029
is we're talking about healthy aging today, tonight, and self-care
119
00:07:26.170 --> 00:07:29.240
once again, The best self-care you could do once you,
120
00:07:29.459 --> 00:07:32.420
once the enemy, once people have been exposed, to leave
121
00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:34.639
them alone, leave them where they're at. There's no, let
122
00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:37.519
me go and see if I can help you. There's no, oh,
123
00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:40.560
I hope you do better. And in some cases, there's
124
00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:43.019
no me for me. This is just me. This is
125
00:07:43.060 --> 00:07:45.370
just me. I ain't praying for you because you're an
126
00:07:45.410 --> 00:07:49.199
enemy already. You're trying to trigger my flesh. You're trying to,
127
00:07:49.550 --> 00:07:51.509
you think you could get me to, you could woo
128
00:07:51.550 --> 00:07:54.110
over me because I'm a nice person, because I can
129
00:07:54.129 --> 00:07:57.360
make you laugh. I can make you cry. I'm nice.
130
00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:02.319
I'm generous. And you take that for granted because what
131
00:08:02.360 --> 00:08:05.180
you could do for me is you serve God. You
132
00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:06.980
believe in God as much as you believe. If I
133
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:08.850
could just get to Miss Gray, if I could just
134
00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:11.649
talk to Miss Gray. No, get me out of that.
135
00:08:12.110 --> 00:08:14.290
So if I could just get to God, if I could,
136
00:08:14.350 --> 00:08:16.610
if I know going on my knees right now, I
137
00:08:16.629 --> 00:08:19.689
can pray and I know God will hear me do that.
138
00:08:20.129 --> 00:08:23.399
But don't call me if you plan games. Because he
139
00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:25.470
knows what you're going to do. He already knows what
140
00:08:25.490 --> 00:08:27.910
you're going to do. He already knows. He knew before
141
00:08:27.930 --> 00:08:30.949
your mother's womb knew you were coming. God knows every
142
00:08:31.089 --> 00:08:35.269
human being on this earth. He knows every animal. He
143
00:08:35.330 --> 00:08:37.990
knows what you're going to do, whether you believe in
144
00:08:38.070 --> 00:08:42.190
him or not, because he is the creator. He knows
145
00:08:42.710 --> 00:08:45.029
the one thing we can't human beings, no matter how
146
00:08:45.070 --> 00:08:47.250
close we get to God. One thing we cannot do
147
00:08:47.690 --> 00:08:50.730
is judge. No, you know what's in your heart. until
148
00:08:50.750 --> 00:08:52.710
you act it out or until you speak it. I
149
00:08:52.750 --> 00:08:55.200
have no idea what Trey is thinking right now. I
150
00:08:55.240 --> 00:08:57.480
know she's praying for me right now, but I have
151
00:08:57.519 --> 00:09:00.500
no idea other than that, what she's thinking. I don't
152
00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:02.600
know what her next move is going to be tomorrow.
153
00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:05.259
I don't know how her day was today until she
154
00:09:05.419 --> 00:09:08.139
says something. I was in the drive-thru line at the
155
00:09:08.159 --> 00:09:12.950
Walgreens in Hunter's Creek with the kids in the backseat. Okay. Oh, oh,
156
00:09:13.029 --> 00:09:16.169
I hear you. All right. Thank you, Missy. Okay. You
157
00:09:16.190 --> 00:09:19.240
can remember. You can remember that day. Check it in.
158
00:09:19.259 --> 00:09:21.440
Thank you, Charles. Thank you, guys. I love you guys.
159
00:09:21.480 --> 00:09:24.200
Thank you all so much. Where's Tennessee? I got somebody
160
00:09:24.220 --> 00:09:26.500
in Palm Beach County that's supposed to be listening in tonight.
161
00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:29.919
Come on now. And once again, you want me to
162
00:09:29.970 --> 00:09:35.509
support you, but you don't support us. Anastasia, thank you, Anastasia. LDK,
163
00:09:35.529 --> 00:09:38.509
there's Tennessee. Thank you. Love the hair, Sister Trey. All right.
164
00:09:38.610 --> 00:09:47.370
All right. Amen. Amen. So, you know, Stop playing and
165
00:09:47.429 --> 00:09:49.870
leave me out of the confusion. I'm really ready to
166
00:09:49.929 --> 00:09:53.009
delete everybody in my phone. I'm really ready. That's how
167
00:09:53.049 --> 00:09:56.169
much I don't want no human contact because I have
168
00:09:56.210 --> 00:09:59.970
had it up to here with you playing, being fearful.
169
00:10:00.129 --> 00:10:02.980
of me more than you are of God. Don't you
170
00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:06.320
dare put that arrow on my back. Don't put that
171
00:10:06.519 --> 00:10:09.379
mark on me. I will leave you where you're at.
172
00:10:09.419 --> 00:10:12.559
And I'm sorry if I'm scaring somebody, but I was
173
00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:16.659
encouraged to just be real tonight. And this is my self-care.
174
00:10:17.100 --> 00:10:19.379
Cause I'm all right now. I told you, I grabbed my,
175
00:10:19.779 --> 00:10:22.120
I grabbed my mustard seed and I held it in my,
176
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:23.960
I looked at it. If I have faith of just
177
00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:27.129
one of these, if I have faith, just one and Lord,
178
00:10:27.169 --> 00:10:30.649
I have faith that you will rid me of anybody.
179
00:10:30.690 --> 00:10:33.870
That's not for my good anymore. And I'll be good
180
00:10:34.370 --> 00:10:37.429
because people, some of the conversations I've had, people are
181
00:10:37.830 --> 00:10:42.259
really fooling themselves. I don't think you're fooling me. Cause
182
00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:46.909
I'm just listening. But when I need to talk to somebody,
183
00:10:46.950 --> 00:10:50.669
I can't get nobody on the phone. And I'm good
184
00:10:50.690 --> 00:10:53.389
because I'm deleting people. I'm good. I'm good. I'm going
185
00:10:53.409 --> 00:10:55.590
to be okay, guys. It's not best to hold the
186
00:10:56.049 --> 00:10:59.370
negative inside. You're right, Mickey. That's why I was encouraged
187
00:10:59.450 --> 00:11:03.279
by Rebel and Trey. Maybe somebody needs to hear this,
188
00:11:03.340 --> 00:11:06.440
that it's okay to let people go. It's okay to
189
00:11:06.500 --> 00:11:11.860
say no. It's okay to self-care you. And right now,
190
00:11:12.039 --> 00:11:16.039
I got y'all. But I got to look out for me.
191
00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:20.399
Because Miss Kay can tell you, I'm really discombobulated. And
192
00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:22.799
I don't know where this is coming from. Okay. You
193
00:11:22.940 --> 00:11:26.440
ain't got the... Okay. I don't like what you're writing, y'all.
194
00:11:27.039 --> 00:11:27.360
Excuse me?
195
00:11:27.960 --> 00:11:31.519
I said, I don't like when she's like this. She
196
00:11:31.539 --> 00:11:35.460
throw me off. So that means tighten up your will.
197
00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:36.620
I'll be okay.
198
00:11:37.590 --> 00:11:38.230
And you will be.
199
00:11:38.250 --> 00:11:40.710
Yeah, thank you.
200
00:11:41.009 --> 00:11:43.610
But I'm glad, Ms.
201
00:11:43.629 --> 00:11:43.929
Gray.
202
00:11:44.509 --> 00:11:46.129
Are you okay, Charles?
203
00:11:47.309 --> 00:11:48.370
She's okay. You know what?
204
00:11:48.850 --> 00:11:52.490
Yeah, she is. So let me just kind of throw
205
00:11:52.509 --> 00:11:53.029
something in.
206
00:11:53.070 --> 00:11:56.649
And I know she is a believer and she's in
207
00:11:56.690 --> 00:12:00.169
the word and she's a follower of Christ. And we understand.
208
00:12:00.190 --> 00:12:02.950
And she's been in the walk longer than I have
209
00:12:03.590 --> 00:12:08.320
on this level. And I say that there are attacks
210
00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:12.240
when you are trying to be Christ-like, when you are
211
00:12:12.299 --> 00:12:16.649
following the word. There will be things, people that will
212
00:12:16.710 --> 00:12:17.629
come after you.
213
00:12:17.909 --> 00:12:22.309
And sometimes it's the spirits that.
214
00:12:22.230 --> 00:12:25.509
Are on people that will come after you and to
215
00:12:25.570 --> 00:12:30.330
try to destroy you. So I think it was good
216
00:12:30.389 --> 00:12:31.529
to bring this out, Ms.
217
00:12:31.549 --> 00:12:31.870
Graves.
218
00:12:32.240 --> 00:12:34.399
And I know it's difficult, but I think people need
219
00:12:34.440 --> 00:12:38.039
to understand that when you are trying to follow and
220
00:12:38.100 --> 00:12:41.350
be the best, there will be things that come after you.
221
00:12:41.870 --> 00:12:47.370
Part of the self-improvement and self-care is when to let go.
222
00:12:47.450 --> 00:12:48.110
When is when.
223
00:12:48.690 --> 00:12:54.129
And so when it jeopardizes your health, when it jeopardizes
224
00:12:54.169 --> 00:12:56.529
your thought patterns, your eat, your.
225
00:12:56.370 --> 00:13:02.379
Sleep, your energy, Jazzy put her input in.
226
00:13:04.179 --> 00:13:09.360
So it's time to self-evaluate and recognize, is this worth
227
00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:14.919
my health, my sanity, my well-being? And so stress will
228
00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:18.450
take you out of here. Stress has and will take
229
00:13:18.490 --> 00:13:21.190
you out of here. And it's not worth it. And
230
00:13:21.250 --> 00:13:25.330
being able to recognize what is triggering your moods. And
231
00:13:25.649 --> 00:13:27.470
when you can kind of fine-tune.
232
00:13:27.789 --> 00:13:28.350
It's okay.
233
00:13:29.169 --> 00:13:32.730
This over here, got to let that go. Them over there,
234
00:13:32.750 --> 00:13:35.470
I got to let that go. And there's nothing wrong
235
00:13:35.509 --> 00:13:38.700
with that. You have to preserve yourself because if you
236
00:13:38.740 --> 00:13:40.840
don't preserve yourself, you're not going to be good to
237
00:13:40.940 --> 00:13:41.639
anybody else.
238
00:13:42.200 --> 00:13:46.909
And just sharing too. It's been a... a trying week
239
00:13:46.950 --> 00:13:47.789
for me as well.
240
00:13:48.809 --> 00:13:50.590
I mean, it's, it's, it's some, like when I say
241
00:13:50.610 --> 00:13:53.899
spiritual warfare, it's some stuff that the arrows coming after
242
00:13:53.960 --> 00:13:55.259
me and different places.
243
00:13:55.779 --> 00:13:57.659
And I just have to be reminded.
