44
00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:07.960
we were doing fine, and then all of a sudden

45
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:11.159
it rained a little bit. And now I stepped out

46
00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:11.639

47
00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:14.560

I got to give some shout outs, but I have

57
00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:52.960
to tell the pieces, the stories that go with it.

58
00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:55.280
I think I shared with you guys.

59
00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:58.159
It's, of course, it's National Limb Loss and Limb Difference

60
00:03:58.240 --> 00:03:59.479
Awareness months.

61
00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:04.840
Are colors are orange orange, orange? Okay, I just got

62
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:07.159
my crocs came in. I got orange. I had to

63
00:04:07.159 --> 00:04:11.479
put machibits on there. That pair came in. I have

64
00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:14.240
to get my orange together. Yep, yep, yep, because I

65
00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:18.519
wear crocs, as you all know. Anyway, we were playing.

66
00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:22.600
The AMPTE Coalition of the United States of the US

67
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:26.680
is celebrating their forty years of service. So they issued

68
00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:29.920
a challenge for all all of us and whoever's a

69
00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:30.480
part of them.

70
00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:32.519
Whatever you could.

71
00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:35.120
Do, it's in the in the vein of forty, so

72
00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:38.519
you could do forty acts of kindness. You can make

73
00:04:38.519 --> 00:04:42.600
a donation of forty dollars, and there's a few other

74
00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:46.680
things on their website. So that's empt Coalition dot org

75
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:48.839
dot com. I want to say, oh my god, don't

76
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:52.680
get me wrong on this. But anyway, so I said, well,

77
00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:53.439
you know what.

78
00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:55.399
Why not why don't we feed?

79
00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:59.160
Won't we get some amputees that live here in Orlando,

80
00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:01.800
Let's get get them together now. The only time I've

81
00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:05.120
seen a collective group was two years ago when the

82
00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:08.920
Amputee Coalition had their annual conference here. I met people

83
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:10.959
and they're like, oh, yeah, I'm from here Orland, and

84
00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:13.639
I'm like, I am too, and we've never seen each other,

85
00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:17.240
we've never crossed paths, and it's amazing to me. I

86
00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:20.160
met about twenty people and I'm like, well, this is

87
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:23.319
kind of strange. So anyway, I got with my my sponsors.

88
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:29.680
My twins surprised me separately. They submitted a donation. I

89
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:33.879
talked with my area restaurant and set the date for

90
00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:36.920
this coming Wednesday, Hey, miss k Miss Cay, this is.

91
00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:40.000
And set the date and everything.

92
00:05:40.839 --> 00:05:43.800
We're gonna feed for thirty nine because I make forty,

93
00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:44.879
so we're gonna.

94
00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:46.360
Feed forty folks amputees.

95
00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:50.160
I got gift back, got all kinds of gifties and

96
00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:54.000
stuff like that, Like I said, by thanks to my sponsors,

97
00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:55.480
my trop my twins.

98
00:05:56.360 --> 00:05:57.639
Everybody just was giving.

99
00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:00.839
So I've got all kinds of nice little goodies, motive pieces,

100
00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:05.879
all kinds of stuff. And today at twelve noon was

101
00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:08.959
the deadline. Now I put my you know, mss Kay

102
00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:12.439
helped me by putting, you know, finding other ampute groups

103
00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:14.240
on Facebook, put the flyer out.

104
00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:18.560
There and everything. Nothing not even crickets, not even cricket. No.

105
00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:22.160
I got two responses. One wanted to know exactly where

106
00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:24.920
it was. And I'm like, once you ARESVP, you'll get

107
00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:27.079
all the rest of your information. Because I don't want

108
00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:27.720
anybody to come.

109
00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:29.879
You know, you bringing five people and you're the only

110
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:33.279
MPT people do that, so I had to be nice

111
00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:34.160
about it and stuff.

112
00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:40.240
Nothing else. Hey, sure we missed you last week. Man,

113
00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:43.199
it's how you doing? How you doing? It's good to

114
00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:43.920
hear from you.

115
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:48.519
So hey, elther k Tennessee is in the House, Washington,

116
00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:49.240
check it in.

117
00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:50.480
I made it.

118
00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:53.000
Sorry for being Anastasia, don't be said. Don't say that.

119
00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:53.879
We wouldn't have known.

120
00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:57.839
We just it out. You know, It's all good. Louisiana,

121
00:06:57.839 --> 00:07:01.240
Mississippi checking in. Come on some other some of them,

122
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:03.839
y' all are out there. Where are my newbies? Come on?

123
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:06.079
Tell us what state you're want calling in from?

124
00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:10.680
Listen, we're doing roll call anyway. The Lord had me

125
00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:14.279
to contact the local news station. I filled out their paperwork.

126
00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:18.360
Haven't heard anything, and you don't talk about emputy, nobody's

127
00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:20.480
even talking about this is what month this is?

128
00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:23.120
I've been trying to ask.

129
00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:26.240
I've already sent him paperwork the request to get a

130
00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:29.279
proclamation from our governor here in Florida.

131
00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:32.319
But he's they're too busy. This is not an issue

132
00:07:32.399 --> 00:07:34.399
for him. He's on his way out. I don't know

133
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:37.120
if he don't really, I don't know what that is, okay.

134
00:07:37.319 --> 00:07:40.680
And then everybody's you know, the state chapters, I mean,

135
00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:42.759
the coalition is like, well, can you send another one?

136
00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:45.800
No, even on your website, we don't send that stuff.

137
00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:48.720
You know, bombard the office you know of the governor

138
00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:50.079
and stuff so he's got it.

139
00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:50.720
I'm sure other.

140
00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:53.959
Floridians have sent it. It's just not important. But there's

141
00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:56.000
other states. I think we're down. I think it's like

142
00:07:56.040 --> 00:07:58.360
twelve or thirteen states maybe by now.

143
00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:00.319
I listen each week, I can't always check.

144
00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:03.839
Gotcha, Charles, thank you?

145
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:04.360
You know, don't.

146
00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:06.120
I don't know what that is. I don't know what

147
00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:08.879
that is. It's not important enough until it happens to you.

148
00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:09.879
I guess. I don't know.

149
00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:12.399
But this is this is an issue. This is a

150
00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:17.279
national international issue. There are five point six million Americans

151
00:08:17.319 --> 00:08:21.319
living with limb lass or limb different five point six million,

152
00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:24.600
and that number, I believe is in the US. One

153
00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:28.120
in sixty two people in the US have had a

154
00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:33.000
experience with a limb loss or having limbs that are different,

155
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:34.320
and there's a difference on that.

156
00:08:34.440 --> 00:08:36.320
So we'll talk about that this month. We're going to

157
00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:37.559
have a couple of visitors on.

158
00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:40.919
It's going to be really nice and informative, So please

159
00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:44.000
keep your ears on. Okay, but I have to give

160
00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:49.440
some shout outs to ABC Prosthetics, that's my prosthetic company.

161
00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:53.159
Not only did they send a monetary donation, but they

162
00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:57.480
also I've got goodies loads of goodies for my gift bag.

163
00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:01.600
I have to again shout out mss K her twin

164
00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:08.720
brother BJ. They have given monetary donations, I understand from Tennessee.

165
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:11.759
I've got one today and I know that something else

166
00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:14.159
is coming, so just bring it on in.

167
00:09:14.279 --> 00:09:16.399
We will receive it. But what we were.

168
00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:19.960
Supposed to do was to host at this local restaurant

169
00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:23.399
thirty nine people. We're going to use the value menu

170
00:09:23.840 --> 00:09:26.679
and you had a choice of meals just too. And

171
00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:28.960
I was gonna take care of the beverages, okay, because

172
00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:31.480
the beverages don't come with the meal, not even.

173
00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:35.399
Crickets, nothing. And it's in my prosthetic office, it's in

174
00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:36.720
my foot surgeon's office.

175
00:09:36.759 --> 00:09:39.720
I mean, they've got the flyers up most of the

176
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:43.320
MPUTE groups that are on Facebook if they got it.

177
00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:45.200
You know, I learned something.

178
00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:49.320
I went to send it to a former chiropractor and

179
00:09:49.480 --> 00:09:51.000
they're his this.

180
00:09:51.399 --> 00:09:53.840
Somebody answered me and said, well, he don't look at these.

181
00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:57.000
We monitor this. I don't know who the WII is,

182
00:09:57.240 --> 00:09:58.519
but that that gave me.

183
00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:01.519
Okay, So obviously when she gets us, you know, you

184
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:03.600
get to a certain place in life you don't have

185
00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:07.440
you just pay a company to monitor, I guess, or

186
00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:09.919
to just keep putting the content out there. I think

187
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:12.600
that's that's not no monitoring. But thank goodness they happened

188
00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:14.200
to see that because I'm talking to him. I was

189
00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:17.679
a former patient, but nothing. So it was so funny.

190
00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:21.320
Nine o'clock last night, I'm sitting in my chair minded

191
00:10:21.399 --> 00:10:24.000
my best bend. Dan lost one leg at a time,

192
00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:27.399
one leg at a time before losing his life in Florida.

193
00:10:27.720 --> 00:10:28.639
He was diabetic.

194
00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:31.720
Yeah, Mickey, we're gonna talk about that, the different causes

195
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:34.639
and symptomologies of that. We've got a guess coming up

196
00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:36.960
in two weeks and she's gonna be you know, she's

197
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:40.759
really informative of that. She represents my foot surgeon's office,

198
00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:43.919
but she knows that as well. Thank you for sharing that.

199
00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:47.600
So nine o'clock, the Lord says to me, you're gonna

200
00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:48.519
do what you do best.

201
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:50.879
And I'm like, what what are you talking about? And

202
00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:53.879
he said, you're gonna pivot. So you will still go

203
00:10:53.919 --> 00:10:56.360
to the restaurant. You'll let the manager know ahead of time.

204
00:10:56.759 --> 00:10:59.159
You go ahead and cook those meals. You're gonna split

205
00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:02.000
them up, gonna take it to the street. I said, okay,

206
00:11:02.799 --> 00:11:04.120
and miss kay, I forgot. We got to get a

207
00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:06.159
little water too, so remind me put that on the

208
00:11:06.200 --> 00:11:09.360
group of family chat of the grocery list. I gotta

209
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:11.759
get miniature waters because I want these folks, you know,

210
00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:15.279
eating pancakes and and don't have nothing to you know,

211
00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:16.440
wash it down with.

212
00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:22.000
So yeah, yeah, he's he did it. He swiveled, he

213
00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:24.840
got reminded. He said, no, you gotta pivot. Did I sweat?

214
00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:26.320
Did I ask, well, what's gonna happen?

215
00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:26.679
What?

216
00:11:27.080 --> 00:11:30.159
No? He showed me the clock twelve new I said,

217
00:11:30.159 --> 00:11:31.759
I got you twelve oh one.

218
00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:35.320
We pivoted today. It was over, it was done, but

219
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:39.399
the blessings came on. Uh does a gentleman here in Orlando,

220
00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:44.679
Glenn Allgood, who was the engineer of WKB when I

221
00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:46.679
was on at the time. I'm sure he's still I

222
00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:49.039
think he's still over there, but he's also at another

223
00:11:49.159 --> 00:11:53.600
radio station called g Praise under Z eighty eight point three,

224
00:11:53.639 --> 00:11:57.639
which is a Christian radio station. Okay, so I sent him.

225
00:11:57.639 --> 00:11:59.639
The Lord says, send it Glenn the Flyer. So I

226
00:11:59.639 --> 00:12:03.159
send him, and I went to their website. I filled

227
00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:04.399
out the necessary information.

228
00:12:04.559 --> 00:12:05.200
Got that going.

229
00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:07.320
So then he's like, okay, which do you want. So

230
00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:09.840
next thing I know, I hadn't. I didn't hear anything

231
00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:11.840
because I don't keep the radio on in the house.

232
00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:13.720
I don't have radio in the house. The only time

233
00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:15.399
I'm gonna listen this is and when I'm in my car.

234
00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:18.960
So I'm so the day Don and I we ran Erron's,

235
00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:22.480
my oldest and he went went into Magoo's to get

236
00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:24.679
us some lunch. And so I'm sitting there with the

237
00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:27.360
car on, and all of a sudden I hear Glenn said,

238
00:12:27.399 --> 00:12:30.200
you know, you know what I'm going off script. This

239
00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:32.080
is a friend of mine. I got to do this.

240
00:12:32.639 --> 00:12:35.840
Lisha Gray Is wants to make us aware of it's

241
00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:39.440
National Limb Loss and Limb Difference Awareness Month. I had

242
00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:41.879
already messaged him and told him don't don't mention the

243
00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:45.240
luncheon because that's we're pivoting from that. So he's like yeah,

244
00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:47.320
and he said, I didn't realize I did my old

245
00:12:47.399 --> 00:12:50.759
research and lim lost and limb difference is really limb

246
00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:53.679
lost especially, and then he talked about he had an uncle.

247
00:12:53.720 --> 00:12:55.919
So I've got a gift basket for him because he

248
00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:59.159
did the shout out and I'm like, thank you. Somebody

249
00:12:59.240 --> 00:13:03.799
came through somebody came through, the world has really changed.

250
00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:06.279
You can't even if you fill out the form and

251
00:13:06.399 --> 00:13:09.600
you you know. And it's a good cause because with

252
00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:13.320
type two children getting type two diabetes, it's gonna be

253
00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:16.720
hitting these folks younger. And we have one prosthetic company

254
00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:20.200
that a lot of kids are members of because you.

255
00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:23.000
Take them as young as four or five years old.

256
00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:27.600
They have limbs that have prosthetic limbs, legs and everything.

257
00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:29.039
This is no joke.

258
00:13:29.480 --> 00:13:33.559
And especially folks who've got diabetes, especially folks who've been smoking,

259
00:13:34.240 --> 00:13:35.159
especially folks.

260
00:13:34.919 --> 00:13:37.879
Who drink all the time, and you have heart issues.

261
00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:40.440
Those are the four. But diabetes is number.

262
00:13:40.159 --> 00:13:43.320
One, and then there's other medical things that seep in there,

263
00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:45.840
like for me with sepsis, I don't know how I

264
00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:49.360
got sepsis. I looked at the criteria, the cemtomology. I

265
00:13:49.360 --> 00:13:51.080
don't feed that. I don't fit that criteria.

266
00:13:51.159 --> 00:13:56.279
Excuse me. So anyway, you know, people just all I

267
00:13:56.279 --> 00:13:57.919
can say is people just don't care.

268
00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:01.080
You can't say you don't have time, you can't say that.

269
00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:05.039
Excuse me, guys, Excuse me, guys. It's an important situation.

270
00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:07.440
And again, the only thing I can chalk it up to.

271
00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:10.200
If it's not in your family, it doesn't affect you,

272
00:14:10.720 --> 00:14:12.879
then why should you even give ear to it? And

273
00:14:12.919 --> 00:14:15.159
you know what, no problem, because I'm gonna We're gonna

274
00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:17.159
find forty people that's hungry.

275
00:14:17.559 --> 00:14:18.480
I promise you that.

276
00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:22.519
So I'll meet my forty and I will self self

277
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:25.360
inscribe and let the cold as you know this, and

278
00:14:25.360 --> 00:14:27.840
we're gonna have pictures. And this is what we're gonna do.

279
00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:30.320
And I don't have to get any recognition. You don't

280
00:14:30.360 --> 00:14:32.919
have to say, hey, good, that's our lando reporting. You

281
00:14:32.960 --> 00:14:35.399
don't have to because guess who. Guess who's more important

282
00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:40.759
to me? The man upstairs. He's got us, He's got us,

283
00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:43.600
and that's all that matters to me. Because when my

284
00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:46.200
father gonna tell me at nine o'clock on the dot,

285
00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:50.000
time to pivot, do what you do best, pivot and

286
00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:51.519
we're done, it's a rap.

287
00:14:51.919 --> 00:14:55.360
So I'm good. So again, it's National Limb Loss and

288
00:14:55.399 --> 00:14:59.000
Limb Difference Awareness Month. What is it that you need

289
00:14:59.039 --> 00:15:01.080
to be aware of other than what I've shared so.

290
00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:04.960
Far that not everybody you see that's missing a limb

291
00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:06.360
suffered a loss.

292
00:15:06.840 --> 00:15:09.879
There are people who were born with different limbs.

293
00:15:10.159 --> 00:15:13.320
So that's why the coalitions, both in the United States

294
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:16.279
and there's one separate separately in Canada.

295
00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:21.559
I'm a part of that group. Okay, limb difference, limb loss,

296
00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:24.679
totally different things. A group of there was five other

297
00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:28.279
young men and men and myself on a training recently

298
00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:32.480
for the coalition in the United States, and the trainer

299
00:15:32.600 --> 00:15:36.080
kept saying, oh my god, all six of y'all have

300
00:15:36.159 --> 00:15:40.759
been traumatized. It's not like y'all none of us were

301
00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:43.320
had diabetes. I don't know if they were.

302
00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:46.000
Smokers or not, but their situation that caused them to

303
00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:48.759
lose their limbs was completely different.

304
00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:52.080
It just startled her. She's like, oh my god.

305
00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:53.879
She goes, Yeah, the type of folks you will be

306
00:15:53.960 --> 00:15:57.679
matched with, you know, in a peer situation, it's going

307
00:15:57.759 --> 00:15:59.440
to be different, and they're going to probably be calling

308
00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:05.000
y'all more because not everybody has diabetes, not everybody had sepsis,

309
00:16:05.200 --> 00:16:09.480
not everybody have heart conditions, you know, not everybody was

310
00:16:09.519 --> 00:16:13.159
in These people were in car accidents at fifteen years old,

311
00:16:13.519 --> 00:16:16.679
hit by cars at fifteen years old. Now they're in

312
00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:20.960
their twenties and thirties. Another gentleman, he stepped on a

313
00:16:21.039 --> 00:16:24.080
nail and just kind of disregard and then next thing, you.

314
00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:26.639
Know, his life just took just kept.

315
00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:29.240
Going and he lost his lower limb. So we all

316
00:16:29.279 --> 00:16:31.960
have stories. And I know people look at me out

317
00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:34.399
in public. I have my mask on, and I know

318
00:16:34.399 --> 00:16:37.200
they look at me like, oh wow, oh poor thing.

319
00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:40.799
And then I start talking and they're like, oh wow,

320
00:16:41.080 --> 00:16:42.879
you know, sound like she's the same.

321
00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:44.120
Oh. I know what they be thinking.

322
00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:46.519
I know what they be thinking because I shuffle a

323
00:16:46.559 --> 00:16:48.960
little bit as well, So I know what you're thinking.

324
00:16:49.039 --> 00:16:51.320
I already know, and I know you're eager to ask

325
00:16:51.360 --> 00:16:52.399
what happened? What happened?

326
00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:57.879
And we again a further separation veterans or police officers

327
00:16:57.919 --> 00:17:01.360
who incur this, you know, while in the line of duty.

328
00:17:01.720 --> 00:17:05.400
That's three separate groups because their cause is different.

329
00:17:05.759 --> 00:17:08.519
Veteran calls is different. It was in the line of duty.

330
00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:12.519
But the coalition, especially the one in the US, puts

331
00:17:12.920 --> 00:17:16.319
them all together and say on the limb loss limb

332
00:17:16.400 --> 00:17:19.519
difference because again we've had people who are on the

333
00:17:19.559 --> 00:17:22.759
part of the group that have had a different type

334
00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:23.920
of limb since they were born.

335
00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:27.079
They were born with different limbs. So it's real and.

336
00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:30.319
Me in so many different cases, Yes, Charles, it's a lot.

337
00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:33.559
It's a lot. And it's so funny when we when

338
00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:35.559
we are on groups or we're in training and some

339
00:17:35.720 --> 00:17:38.359
and poor Trader asked, so give us, give me, give

340
00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:41.759
us a story. Our story is not fifteen minutes long.

341
00:17:42.599 --> 00:17:44.079
If we tell you, you.

342
00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:48.200
Know, just just the highlights, it's not It's longer than that.

343
00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:50.480
So I tell people don't know, I ask us that,

344
00:17:50.799 --> 00:17:52.839
and I but the Canada group I was. We were

345
00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:55.279
on a zoom call today and I said, send everybody

346
00:17:55.279 --> 00:17:58.000
to the website because our interviews are on there.

347
00:17:58.240 --> 00:18:00.640
You will hear our story. You want to hear our

348
00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:03.480
story every every week because we got two new people,

349
00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:04.640
so send them.

350
00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:07.279
Send them them to the website. Said listen to the

351
00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:10.599
interviews and you'll be amazed.

352
00:18:09.920 --> 00:18:10.920
At the stories.

353
00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:14.720
But I met so many interesting people, and whether they

354
00:18:14.759 --> 00:18:18.079
looked at me to feel sorry for me, they I've

355
00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:21.440
got a great medical team. I've got a great medical team,

356
00:18:21.759 --> 00:18:26.559
from my prosthetic company to my foot surgeon, my hand surgeon.

357
00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:28.880
I'm still in touch with these people. I'm still in

358
00:18:28.920 --> 00:18:32.839
touch with my former PT and ot folk. I'm the

359
00:18:32.920 --> 00:18:36.119
social worker that I met in the hospital that helped me.

360
00:18:36.400 --> 00:18:38.680
I'm still in touch with these people and every now

361
00:18:38.680 --> 00:18:40.519
and then when I got my when my new book

362
00:18:40.559 --> 00:18:42.759
came out, I sent them all a cover of it

363
00:18:42.880 --> 00:18:44.839
and a few I was having a I was at

364
00:18:44.839 --> 00:18:47.759
an UH event and UH in one of the city's

365
00:18:47.920 --> 00:18:50.359
malls up here, and I invited the two my old

366
00:18:50.400 --> 00:18:53.079
team I pt and they brought well one Kate brought

367
00:18:53.079 --> 00:18:55.519
her family because she's been talking about me for the

368
00:18:55.599 --> 00:18:57.920
years with the family and now they get to meet me.

369
00:18:58.160 --> 00:18:59.839
And I had a gift back for them, which was

370
00:18:59.839 --> 00:19:01.880
a compliment of the book. Because they're in the book.

371
00:19:01.920 --> 00:19:05.880
They're mentioned not by name, though not by that. So

372
00:19:06.200 --> 00:19:09.200
you know, if anybody have any questions and things like that,

373
00:19:09.279 --> 00:19:11.440
please feel free to You know, what your blessings to

374
00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:15.240
your team? Oh yeah, they are a blessing and and

375
00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:18.440
and what makes a team, a medical team a blessing.

376
00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:21.559
They take their time, they really listen.

377
00:19:22.119 --> 00:19:25.279
I want to give Scott of ABC Prosthetics a shout out.

378
00:19:25.680 --> 00:19:27.400
He when I first went there and I met my

379
00:19:27.519 --> 00:19:32.119
contact person, my technician, he listened in to my assessment.

380
00:19:32.519 --> 00:19:34.079
He heard me when I said I used to be

381
00:19:34.119 --> 00:19:36.480
an actor. I was a cameo actor. I was in

382
00:19:36.519 --> 00:19:40.039
Oprah Winfrey's movie before this happened to me, and he

383
00:19:40.119 --> 00:19:42.039
was the one that advocated for me to get what

384
00:19:42.119 --> 00:19:45.519
they call a passive arm, which is me a cosmetic arm.

385
00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:48.680
It doesn't move, it doesn't do anything, but I just haven't.

386
00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:50.720
I have it as an arm in a hand if

387
00:19:50.759 --> 00:19:53.279
I needed to, if I needed to, if I decided

388
00:19:53.319 --> 00:19:54.680
to go back into acting.

389
00:19:55.119 --> 00:19:58.279
He listened. I didn't ask for that. I'm still I'm

390
00:19:58.319 --> 00:20:01.319
still trying to wrap my head around things. I'm alive,

391
00:20:01.400 --> 00:20:05.359
I'm out, okay, I have medical transportation, I have an

392
00:20:05.400 --> 00:20:08.200
aid with me. I'm trying to, you know. But they

393
00:20:08.240 --> 00:20:11.119
were so patient and so kind, and they got to

394
00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:13.799
know me. That's what a team does. They really get

395
00:20:13.839 --> 00:20:15.640
to know you. They're listening.

396
00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:16.559
I went to a.

397
00:20:16.519 --> 00:20:21.079
Doctor recently, the old total stranger. He was just all

398
00:20:21.119 --> 00:20:23.519
off over the place, and I'm like, you're not funny, sir,

399
00:20:23.680 --> 00:20:27.279
You're really not funny. And I've never been that abrasive

400
00:20:27.720 --> 00:20:29.680
to a stranger, a professional stranger.

401
00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:30.799
But he was.

402
00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:34.160
Just just too odd to me, and you were trying

403
00:20:34.160 --> 00:20:37.359
to make yourself relevant instead of thinking about me.

404
00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:40.359
So my medical team has spoiled me. Also because when

405
00:20:40.359 --> 00:20:43.720
I was in the hospital, the nurse supervisors, all of

406
00:20:43.759 --> 00:20:45.279
the every.

407
00:20:44.720 --> 00:20:47.519
Shift will come and check with me and check in

408
00:20:47.640 --> 00:20:50.920
on me every day or night. How did it go today?

409
00:20:51.279 --> 00:20:54.240
Everything was good, No, the nurse was kind of never

410
00:20:54.279 --> 00:20:56.960
saw the nurse again. I would never see the nurse again.

411
00:20:57.279 --> 00:20:59.960
And I've told you some stories about you know, people

412
00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:02.480
just you know, some people were just just not there

413
00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:05.920
with you, you know. And I've got the stories. And

414
00:21:05.960 --> 00:21:07.920
again it's a lot. It's in the book. And thanks

415
00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:10.200
to miss Kay because she's her.

416
00:21:10.160 --> 00:21:13.799
Memory, it's her experience with me in that room and

417
00:21:14.440 --> 00:21:16.799
that she can remember, and she brought things back up

418
00:21:16.839 --> 00:21:18.079
and then I was a but I had to keep

419
00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:18.759
checking with her.

420
00:21:19.440 --> 00:21:22.640
Did you say this happened? Yeah, no, matter, that didn't

421
00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:24.960
happen that way. This happened first, and then this happened.

422
00:21:25.079 --> 00:21:25.440
Amen.

423
00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:27.960
But I've been able to thank everybody that was a

424
00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:30.119
part of my team, that was a part of me

425
00:21:30.680 --> 00:21:34.480
and my recovery. And I only send the pictures because

426
00:21:34.519 --> 00:21:37.279
I want them to see how well I'm doing, because

427
00:21:37.279 --> 00:21:38.759
they didn't know if I was going to make it

428
00:21:38.759 --> 00:21:40.720
out of the hospital, and they didn't know how my

429
00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:44.079
mind was going to be once I got amputated as well,

430
00:21:44.160 --> 00:21:46.519
because I didn't get allowed the hospital to amputate me.

431
00:21:46.880 --> 00:21:48.359
I said, no, let me go home. Let me give

432
00:21:48.440 --> 00:21:49.200
Jesus a truck.

433
00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:51.799
I don't know what's on his mind these days. And

434
00:21:51.839 --> 00:21:55.200
they're like, oh, okay, yeah, see you. Six months I

435
00:21:55.279 --> 00:21:58.319
began to self amputate, So enough of me. Give me

436
00:21:58.359 --> 00:21:59.279
some questions, guys.

437
00:21:59.480 --> 00:22:01.319
Difference with between people going to work to get a

438
00:22:01.400 --> 00:22:03.440
check and going to work to make a difference. Yes, Misty,

439
00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:05.519
my medical team, every last one.

440
00:22:05.400 --> 00:22:08.240
Of them, that is. That is them all the way.

441
00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:11.319
That's them all the way. And it was funny because

442
00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:14.960
when my technician from the prosthetic company was trying to

443
00:22:15.079 --> 00:22:20.079
advocate for me to get more current set of sensors

444
00:22:20.599 --> 00:22:22.720
in my electronic.

445
00:22:22.119 --> 00:22:25.000
Limb, she's like, well, miss great, we'll just go leave

446
00:22:25.039 --> 00:22:26.960
this up to you. You know who to kind of

447
00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:29.200
talk to. Oh yeah, I got who I need to

448
00:22:29.240 --> 00:22:31.319
talk to. They already send it to It sounds like

449
00:22:31.319 --> 00:22:33.000
good people. They were very good people. Missed it and

450
00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:35.880
they still are very good people. And yeah, so I

451
00:22:35.960 --> 00:22:37.880
he was like, no, Limus Gray, give.

452
00:22:37.759 --> 00:22:38.319
Them a call.

453
00:22:38.640 --> 00:22:43.599
Oh yeah, hello, they say. And I was able to

454
00:22:43.599 --> 00:22:47.880
get my sensors updated. My sensors in my prosthetic limb

455
00:22:48.559 --> 00:22:51.400
was my l limb was back from.

456
00:22:51.240 --> 00:22:53.319
The sixties, nineteen sixties.

457
00:22:53.880 --> 00:22:57.240
I've got now eleven year old sensors in my arm

458
00:22:57.559 --> 00:23:00.279
because they advocated for it, and you don't know. And

459
00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:03.920
advocacy is the key here. I'm able to talk to you,

460
00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:07.240
I'm able to share because it's about advocacy, it's about

461
00:23:07.279 --> 00:23:09.839
letting you know. And one thing I had this, I

462
00:23:09.880 --> 00:23:13.960
had this awful just conversation with myself this weekend about

463
00:23:14.279 --> 00:23:17.559
you know, type two diabetes and the children and you know, parents,

464
00:23:17.799 --> 00:23:19.480
I know you don't know any better, and you don't

465
00:23:20.240 --> 00:23:22.400
when you don't have anything and no other option, you're

466
00:23:22.440 --> 00:23:25.319
gonna run through McDonald's drive through and you're gonna get

467
00:23:25.319 --> 00:23:28.000
that happy meal. And once upon a time it was

468
00:23:28.240 --> 00:23:30.599
kind of healthy. Those nuggets were kind of on the

469
00:23:30.599 --> 00:23:33.839
healthy side. The fries were fried and healthier Greece. Now

470
00:23:33.880 --> 00:23:36.799
it's not, and now it's on the rise. Type two

471
00:23:36.839 --> 00:23:40.559
got be all kinds of developmental disorders.

472
00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:43.240
That they said they found like human it's been a

473
00:23:43.319 --> 00:23:45.720
set like human flesh and all that stuff like that,

474
00:23:45.799 --> 00:23:47.200
and McDonald's foods and stuff.

475
00:23:47.799 --> 00:23:51.039
Yeah, because you got people angry at the job because

476
00:23:51.039 --> 00:23:52.519
they ain't making it, they're not getting to raise they're

477
00:23:52.519 --> 00:23:54.839
not get any more hours. So we don't know the

478
00:23:54.880 --> 00:23:57.160
mindset of anybody, so you can you gotta stop. Y'all

479
00:23:57.200 --> 00:23:59.920
got kids. I don't know if my young crew is

480
00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:01.759
out there is listening up. Their ears are on.

481
00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:04.720
But y'all got to eat your fruits and your vegetables,

482
00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:06.599
and you got to clean them, and you got to

483
00:24:06.680 --> 00:24:07.680
steam them, you.

484
00:24:07.680 --> 00:24:09.839
Got to boil them. We got to get out of

485
00:24:09.839 --> 00:24:12.039
this fried food mess because these people.

486
00:24:11.960 --> 00:24:16.920
People now the industry is not making wholesome, sustainable ingredients

487
00:24:17.359 --> 00:24:20.119
at all. I mean, when was the last time you

488
00:24:20.160 --> 00:24:24.000
went to the public so grocery store? You pick up

489
00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:27.039
a cart and a little carton, plastic carton, see with

490
00:24:27.160 --> 00:24:30.440
holes in it of strawberries and it's mold on the

491
00:24:30.440 --> 00:24:32.920
bottom of them. When did you ever do that? When

492
00:24:32.960 --> 00:24:36.559
did you pick up what was pears and they saggy?

493
00:24:36.920 --> 00:24:39.240
When did you do that? We're not it's not a

494
00:24:39.279 --> 00:24:41.079
healthy time right now. It's not.

495
00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:43.319
And you've got to make it healthy. So you have

496
00:24:43.440 --> 00:24:46.119
to eat your vegetables. You have to eat your fruits.

497
00:24:46.480 --> 00:24:47.440
You have to do now.

498
00:24:47.480 --> 00:24:49.599
A lot of stuff is now, a lot of stuff

499
00:24:49.680 --> 00:24:55.839
is seedless, and it's hard to find seed I thought

500
00:24:55.880 --> 00:24:57.799
it was a little big deal, right years ago.

501
00:24:58.599 --> 00:25:00.720
And I'm like, oh, they got seates grapes. Oh good,

502
00:25:00.759 --> 00:25:01.319
this is fun.

503
00:25:01.640 --> 00:25:03.799
Wash up, came home, I washed the real good and everything.

504
00:25:03.839 --> 00:25:06.200
I'm just and one of my spiritual daughters said, well,

505
00:25:06.240 --> 00:25:07.759
you know, hi from.

506
00:25:07.519 --> 00:25:08.440
Scotland, Scotch.

507
00:25:08.960 --> 00:25:09.319
Are you.

508
00:25:12.440 --> 00:25:15.400
She was like, yeah, thank you, thank you Scott, thank

509
00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:17.920
you so much. Jeff, Jeff, I'm sorry, thank you so

510
00:25:18.039 --> 00:25:18.920
much for tuning in.

511
00:25:19.359 --> 00:25:23.000
But you know here, you know, and she was saying, yeah,

512
00:25:23.400 --> 00:25:24.640
all this stuff is just not healthy.

513
00:25:24.640 --> 00:25:26.920
This was years ago. She was saying this to me, So, yeah,

514
00:25:27.160 --> 00:25:28.440
seedless grapes, what is it?

515
00:25:28.480 --> 00:25:30.799
We have a request for you to talk about John eleven,

516
00:25:31.119 --> 00:25:34.119
twenty five. Hang on a minute, John eleven, twenty five.

517
00:25:34.440 --> 00:25:37.000
Hang on, I'm going there and give me a minute,

518
00:25:37.359 --> 00:25:40.440
John eleven. But yeah, she said, yeah, where are we

519
00:25:40.559 --> 00:25:43.720
into seedless grapes from? Who went into the seed and

520
00:25:43.799 --> 00:25:45.559
made the seatless? Who make it?

521
00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:51.680
Where do you make seedless grapes from? And I'm like, oh, God.

522
00:25:51.839 --> 00:25:55.720
People are active, do not eat unhealthy. If you are active,

523
00:25:55.880 --> 00:25:57.319
you could have a cheap militant.

524
00:25:57.640 --> 00:26:01.599
Okay, thank you, that's the nutrition is talking John eleven,

525
00:26:01.680 --> 00:26:03.000
twenty five and twenty six.

526
00:26:03.799 --> 00:26:06.519
Got I don't want to talk about Easter too. Resurrection

527
00:26:06.640 --> 00:26:10.599
weekend in a minute, yeah, and telling them what Yeah,

528
00:26:10.680 --> 00:26:12.960
Jesus said, unto her, I'm the resurrection and the life,

529
00:26:13.039 --> 00:26:15.319
he who believed it in me. Though you were dead,

530
00:26:15.400 --> 00:26:17.200
you shall live. Let me stop right there.

531
00:26:17.480 --> 00:26:20.599
Dead meaning that that comes from the family that received

532
00:26:20.599 --> 00:26:21.720
the Bible after the picnic.

533
00:26:21.759 --> 00:26:26.720
Okay, here we go. I hope they're listening. Click this

534
00:26:26.720 --> 00:26:27.079
back up.

535
00:26:27.319 --> 00:26:30.240
Okay, but first of all, he that though we were dead,

536
00:26:30.720 --> 00:26:33.559
we were dead, which means that you had no we

537
00:26:33.599 --> 00:26:36.079
had no extension to eternal life.

538
00:26:36.240 --> 00:26:37.799
We had no extension.

539
00:26:37.960 --> 00:26:40.839
So he who grants us eternal life, we were born

540
00:26:40.880 --> 00:26:43.240
in sin. Now, even though you were born by healthy

541
00:26:43.319 --> 00:26:45.599
parents and stuff like that, you're born in sin We

542
00:26:45.720 --> 00:26:48.359
all are. And then you really get crazier. It gets

543
00:26:48.480 --> 00:26:52.559
wilder when you actually do start lying or start stealing,

544
00:26:53.079 --> 00:26:55.680
you know, and things like that. Okay, at a young age.

545
00:26:55.720 --> 00:26:57.880
So that's what that means is that we were born

546
00:26:58.039 --> 00:27:00.960
you know, yet we were dead. You were walking around lifeless,

547
00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:05.559
not even zombies. You're walking around lifeless. You don't have

548
00:27:05.599 --> 00:27:07.920
any meaning, you don't know where you're going, you don't

549
00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:10.039
have any purpose, you don't have any hope.

550
00:27:10.240 --> 00:27:11.759
You're despaired, You're.

551
00:27:11.599 --> 00:27:13.920
Looking at everything around you, and as everything is a

552
00:27:13.920 --> 00:27:16.359
negative thing, you just don't feel like you're gonna be

553
00:27:16.440 --> 00:27:20.799
able to have any hope. But Jesus says, and he

554
00:27:20.880 --> 00:27:23.960
believed in me, shall never die. Believe it without this,

555
00:27:24.640 --> 00:27:27.720
And she said unto him. She was talking to Martha. Yes, Lord,

556
00:27:27.759 --> 00:27:30.279
I believe that that are the Christ, the Son of God,

557
00:27:30.400 --> 00:27:31.880
which would come into the world.

558
00:27:32.039 --> 00:27:33.960
And that's what he did. That's what he did. Now

559
00:27:33.960 --> 00:27:36.960
I'm gonna go over, go ahead, I'm gonna huh.

560
00:27:37.079 --> 00:27:39.680
I have another interpretation as well, go for it.

561
00:27:39.720 --> 00:27:40.480
Go for it.

562
00:27:40.240 --> 00:27:43.039
I got to reread it to you know, put it

563
00:27:43.039 --> 00:27:45.119
out there. So whoever believes in me though he dies.

564
00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:48.960
So again, this is about Lazarus, right, he's dead, he's

565
00:27:49.000 --> 00:27:53.079
been dead for four days. Right, he believed in Jesus.

566
00:27:53.359 --> 00:27:57.680
They were friends. So although he is dead, he will live.

567
00:27:57.720 --> 00:27:59.799
He will rise him up again and again. Jesus is

568
00:27:59.759 --> 00:28:04.160
thereted through him, you will live, period. So that's just

569
00:28:04.200 --> 00:28:06.839
another interpretation as well. To look at it, you know,

570
00:28:07.079 --> 00:28:10.279
although I mean he raised people from the dead. I

571
00:28:10.279 --> 00:28:12.880
mean there's many stories within the Bible of that as well.

572
00:28:12.920 --> 00:28:14.960
So just to be mindful.

573
00:28:14.519 --> 00:28:17.559
Of yeah, I'm gonna yeah. I'm sorry, guys, I was

574
00:28:17.599 --> 00:28:20.720
trying to find the thing on Easter. But that means

575
00:28:20.759 --> 00:28:23.759
God gives us eternal life and that we he When

576
00:28:23.839 --> 00:28:28.960
Jesus ascended to Heaven after he was crucified, he made

577
00:28:28.960 --> 00:28:31.920
a stop first he went to Hell. It took the

578
00:28:32.039 --> 00:28:34.759
keys of death so that we would not be afraid

579
00:28:34.839 --> 00:28:38.160
to die physically die, because we know, especially when you

580
00:28:38.279 --> 00:28:41.599
know that you are in Christ and you believe.

581
00:28:42.079 --> 00:28:42.240
Now.

582
00:28:42.240 --> 00:28:44.279
I had a person on the phone this weekend talk

583
00:28:44.319 --> 00:28:47.200
about tell me, well, I just know that I'm gonna

584
00:28:47.240 --> 00:28:49.920
be saved. God's gonna give me mercy. And I said,

585
00:28:49.960 --> 00:28:53.000
you know what, I understand where you're coming from. But

586
00:28:53.079 --> 00:28:55.640
what about the assignments that you had while you were

587
00:28:55.680 --> 00:28:59.720
here on earth. Jesus said, faith without works is dead.

588
00:29:00.119 --> 00:29:02.480
The works is not so much you being at the

589
00:29:02.559 --> 00:29:04.920
church every Sunday, every time time the door is open,

590
00:29:05.240 --> 00:29:10.240
being at choir rehearsal, being on the deacon board. That's yeah,

591
00:29:10.359 --> 00:29:13.599
that's you're volunteering your time. But what about the assignees

592
00:29:13.960 --> 00:29:16.720
in the street. What about that neighbor that you don't

593
00:29:16.759 --> 00:29:19.640
even check on, and you know, possibly she lives alone.

594
00:29:19.720 --> 00:29:22.400
He lives alone. I don't care how mean he's been

595
00:29:22.480 --> 00:29:25.039
to you. Put some grocery on his door. You don't

596
00:29:25.039 --> 00:29:27.039
know what he's doing in and there the kids, the

597
00:29:27.119 --> 00:29:29.000
families that do come to church. Let's take it to

598
00:29:29.079 --> 00:29:31.960
the church. Y'all go to church faithfully. You see this

599
00:29:32.039 --> 00:29:34.599
family of five come in, and you know they're wearing

600
00:29:34.640 --> 00:29:37.480
the same thing every Sunday. All you doing is observing.

601
00:29:37.599 --> 00:29:39.880
But what you're doing, I would be going to target

602
00:29:39.920 --> 00:29:42.160
getting gift cards. Not to insult them because I don't

603
00:29:42.160 --> 00:29:44.400
know what they wear. I don't know what sizes, but

604
00:29:44.599 --> 00:29:46.160
come up to them with a car and say, God

605
00:29:46.240 --> 00:29:48.359
told me, you know, I just want to bless you all.

606
00:29:48.680 --> 00:29:50.880
If you don't mind, here's something. Here's something.

607
00:29:51.039 --> 00:29:53.920
Not trying to embarrass anybody, not trying to drudge judge anybody.

608
00:29:54.119 --> 00:29:56.880
I saw an excerpt. I'm gonna make sure my time here.

609
00:29:57.000 --> 00:29:58.440
I saw an excerpt, and I'm gonna come back to

610
00:29:58.480 --> 00:30:02.440
the scripture again. It's real, and this pastor to ask

611
00:30:02.440 --> 00:30:04.680
it for three hundred and some dollars from everybody and

612
00:30:04.759 --> 00:30:08.440
borrow from your neighbor, sir, I charge you.

613
00:30:08.799 --> 00:30:11.920
If you're for real pastor, you needed to.

614
00:30:11.839 --> 00:30:14.000
Be handing out three hundred and fifty dollars to every

615
00:30:14.000 --> 00:30:15.079
parishioner in there.

616
00:30:15.519 --> 00:30:17.720
You needed to do it. You're not even looking.

617
00:30:17.920 --> 00:30:20.160
Do you feel they landed on the passage as a

618
00:30:20.160 --> 00:30:22.920
message They are getting back to learning on faith. Yes,

619
00:30:23.599 --> 00:30:27.960
thank you, misty, Yes, thank you. Yes, having faith in

620
00:30:28.079 --> 00:30:31.480
Jesus Christ that you will have eternal life, you will

621
00:30:31.480 --> 00:30:34.039
make it into heaven. And that's a big one, because

622
00:30:34.039 --> 00:30:36.519
I know that there's people on this earth. People you

623
00:30:36.599 --> 00:30:39.119
sit within the church and the pew. People you go

624
00:30:39.200 --> 00:30:41.880
to work with your neighbor who say, oh, just because

625
00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:44.680
they put out the decorations at Christmas time or they

626
00:30:44.720 --> 00:30:47.839
have the Easter egg hunts in the front yard. Oh

627
00:30:47.880 --> 00:30:51.079
we're going to we're observing. No, if you look look

628
00:30:51.160 --> 00:30:53.440
up Easter, I'm not gonna even read it to you.

629
00:30:53.599 --> 00:30:56.079
I want you to look up the foundation the origin

630
00:30:56.160 --> 00:30:59.079
of Easter. And I'm gonna tell you this in the

631
00:30:59.160 --> 00:31:01.839
New test about studied the Bible four years in a row,

632
00:31:01.920 --> 00:31:05.599
straight through, probably yet to see anything. We're referencing a rabbit.

633
00:31:07.559 --> 00:31:10.119
Just I just you know, I just want to put

634
00:31:10.160 --> 00:31:10.960
that out there now.

635
00:31:11.039 --> 00:31:14.000
The word Eastern does not align with God. So why

636
00:31:14.079 --> 00:31:16.680
you do your research? You will show you say happy. Well,

637
00:31:17.039 --> 00:31:18.960
I'm not going to say he might not mean no

638
00:31:19.079 --> 00:31:22.720
harm if you don't know the actual meaning of it's resurrection.

639
00:31:23.920 --> 00:31:27.880
That's why I say, I mean, he's just a happy resurrection,

640
00:31:28.039 --> 00:31:33.160
dy you. Because he was crucified, he rules again on

641
00:31:32.880 --> 00:31:34.000
some on the third day.

642
00:31:35.279 --> 00:31:41.200
On the third day, he kept his word the disciples.

643
00:31:41.319 --> 00:31:43.119
I can rule for you.

644
00:31:43.839 --> 00:31:52.240
It's nice pieces of silver on him. It's a silver

645
00:31:52.720 --> 00:31:55.279
where he was buried. That's the tomb that they were given.

646
00:31:55.319 --> 00:31:57.880
But thirty people, that's the whole thing that preached right there,

647
00:31:58.079 --> 00:32:01.440
thirty pieces of silver something that thirty and pieces of

648
00:32:01.480 --> 00:32:03.440
silver that all preach right there.

649
00:32:03.680 --> 00:32:06.359
Okay, So I hope that I got it. I am

650
00:32:06.359 --> 00:32:08.680
the resurrection and the life he is.

651
00:32:09.000 --> 00:32:12.559
Life's not only life right now, but he's life eternally.

652
00:32:14.559 --> 00:32:15.920
Can you imagine.

653
00:32:15.440 --> 00:32:17.519
Living your life right now with what we're going through

654
00:32:17.599 --> 00:32:18.799
right now in the world.

655
00:32:19.640 --> 00:32:21.240
You don't have to think about what you got to

656
00:32:21.240 --> 00:32:23.519
do tomorrow. You want to think about Okay, you need

657
00:32:23.519 --> 00:32:24.359
to go get grocery.

658
00:32:24.400 --> 00:32:26.440
I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but Lord,

659
00:32:26.799 --> 00:32:29.079

660
00:32:29.160 --> 00:32:31.039
and say, hey, I was just thinking about you. Put

00:32:33.359 --> 00:32:34.920

00:32:34.920 --> 00:32:36.920
store too. Hey, why don't we swit it. I'll come

664
00:32:37.000 --> 00:32:40.160
pick you up. Let's go into lunch, giving.

665
00:32:40.000 --> 00:32:46.480
A shopping you. You just don't know. God has his

666
00:32:46.519 --> 00:32:49.400
store for you. You just don't know. We've lived it.

667
00:32:49.799 --> 00:32:52.319
You and some of you all are new here. But

668
00:32:52.480 --> 00:32:53.119
my story.

669
00:32:53.359 --> 00:32:56.359
I went in the hospital seven years ago, went to

670
00:32:56.440 --> 00:32:59.160
a coma for three weeks. In between the three weeks

671
00:32:59.200 --> 00:33:01.759
of being in a coma, coming out of the coma,

672
00:33:01.799 --> 00:33:05.039
I died twice. I ended up and my limbs begin

673
00:33:05.200 --> 00:33:07.400
to die right in front of me. I woke up

674
00:33:07.440 --> 00:33:10.720
to my hands and my arms and my feet being bandaged.

675
00:33:11.119 --> 00:33:13.559
I was in the hospital for ninety seven days.

676
00:33:13.960 --> 00:33:16.799
Six months later I began to self amputape and my

677
00:33:16.799 --> 00:33:17.480
foot surgeon.

678
00:33:17.519 --> 00:33:18.880
That's why I love him so much. I said, do

679
00:33:18.960 --> 00:33:21.359
I need to go take a class get merid because

680
00:33:21.359 --> 00:33:22.640
I need to drive? I could?

681
00:33:23.000 --> 00:33:24.839
I feel like I'm stable enough? He said, no, Just

682
00:33:24.839 --> 00:33:28.359
go to an empty parking lot, go by sixty sixty five,

683
00:33:28.480 --> 00:33:31.920
seventy and then stop the break. See how you feel if.

684
00:33:31.839 --> 00:33:32.400
You shook lad.

685
00:33:32.440 --> 00:33:33.599
I wasn't in the car that day.

686
00:33:34.759 --> 00:33:38.759
I did it and been driving ever since. And my

687
00:33:39.640 --> 00:33:43.200
SUV is not, you know, specializing enough as a regular vehicle.

688
00:33:43.400 --> 00:33:45.519
But if I didn't have my faith that I.

689
00:33:45.480 --> 00:33:47.920
Believed in God, believed in Jesus, believe in the Holy

690
00:33:47.960 --> 00:33:50.839
Spirit going into this thing, you all would have never met.

691
00:33:51.119 --> 00:33:52.880
You would have never met me because I would have

692
00:33:53.240 --> 00:33:55.880
out of those two times, I would have died and

693
00:33:55.880 --> 00:33:57.839
it would have been permanent. But he still had worked

694
00:33:57.839 --> 00:33:59.880
for me. I had to finish my third book. Now,

695
00:34:00.160 --> 00:34:01.319
just finished the fourth book.

696
00:34:01.599 --> 00:34:03.240
I'm getting a hint that there's the fifth one, and

697
00:34:03.319 --> 00:34:04.559
that's my autobiography.

698
00:34:04.559 --> 00:34:06.839
But I name names in that one, so you know

699
00:34:06.920 --> 00:34:10.119
you you Yeah, that's because it's my story, so I can. Yeah,

700
00:34:10.159 --> 00:34:13.239
so you know who I'm talking about. Amen, anybody the

701
00:34:13.280 --> 00:34:15.840
resurrection of the life. He didn't believe it in me

702
00:34:15.960 --> 00:34:19.159
though he were dead. Yeah, shall he live, And whosoever

703
00:34:19.239 --> 00:34:21.480
liveth and believe it in me shall never die. I

704
00:34:21.519 --> 00:34:24.519
want you also to look at Matthew chapter twenties, chapters

705
00:34:24.559 --> 00:34:26.719
twenty seven and twenty eight. I want you to look

706
00:34:26.719 --> 00:34:28.639
at that, and I want you to study that. Okay,

707
00:34:29.039 --> 00:34:29.719
check that out.

708
00:34:29.840 --> 00:34:30.280
That just.

709
00:34:32.000 --> 00:34:33.519
So many questions of that. But I want you to

710
00:34:33.519 --> 00:34:35.360
do that, and I'm gonna come back. I'll circle back

711
00:34:35.679 --> 00:34:37.920
and we'll talk about it. Okay, but I want that's

712
00:34:37.920 --> 00:34:40.800
gonna be your homework next week. We are going to

713
00:34:40.880 --> 00:34:43.880
do a repeat show, all right, but we will be

714
00:34:43.960 --> 00:34:46.800
back the third week and then the third Monday. Now

715
00:34:47.079 --> 00:34:49.519
we'll have guests the last two Mondays of this month,

716
00:34:49.559 --> 00:34:51.320
So you want to stick around and come on back.

717
00:34:51.519 --> 00:34:52.719
Do we have any questions?

718
00:34:52.760 --> 00:34:54.679
I want to We got a few minutes here. I

719
00:34:54.760 --> 00:34:57.320
want to just talk to y'all. Y'all talk to us,

720
00:34:57.480 --> 00:35:01.320
talk to us hostesses, if you all have anything you

721
00:35:01.360 --> 00:35:06.880
want to add. Manshall, Mom, I want to speak from

722
00:35:06.920 --> 00:35:10.199
a how you said experience or whatever?

723
00:35:10.360 --> 00:35:12.159
What were those what are those numbers?

724
00:35:12.199 --> 00:35:15.119
Matthew? Chapter twenty seven, Chapter.

725
00:35:14.920 --> 00:35:18.880
Twenty eight, Yeah, you hear from my experience. I don't know.

726
00:35:19.400 --> 00:35:21.159
Okay, let me see if I can show you my pen.

727
00:35:21.559 --> 00:35:24.280
It's an amputated leg with a ribbon. There we go.

728
00:35:24.679 --> 00:35:27.719
I got my orange on, I got my own your cross.

729
00:35:28.519 --> 00:35:29.960
I ain't showing the crocs anymore.

730
00:35:30.320 --> 00:35:30.880
I go do that.

731
00:35:30.920 --> 00:35:33.679
But my orange crocs just came in today. Because those

732
00:35:33.719 --> 00:35:35.559
are the type of shoes I can wear with no toes.

733
00:35:35.679 --> 00:35:38.679
That's comfortable for it. There we go and they made

734
00:35:38.760 --> 00:35:41.480
stuff for me. Go ahead, Thank you, no problem, miss

735
00:35:41.480 --> 00:35:42.800
Thank you for asking all right?

736
00:35:42.960 --> 00:35:43.480
Questions?

737
00:35:43.480 --> 00:35:46.639
Come on, I know you got something you want to say.

738
00:35:47.440 --> 00:35:51.679
You still know that.

739
00:35:53.440 --> 00:35:54.880
I don't want to call out anybody.

740
00:35:55.440 --> 00:35:58.880
Why would you do that. They may not have a right.

741
00:35:59.320 --> 00:36:00.920
What do you want to They might know what.

742
00:36:00.960 --> 00:36:02.119
To ask, right?

743
00:36:02.880 --> 00:36:06.480
Okay, Well, my regular crew know they they are not afraid.

744
00:36:06.960 --> 00:36:09.360
They're not afraid to ask. You've got a question on

745
00:36:09.400 --> 00:36:10.239
your heart, talk to me.

746
00:36:10.639 --> 00:36:11.920
I'm sure they know everything.

747
00:36:12.400 --> 00:36:18.360
No, they don't with you when it comes to you, Yeah,

748
00:36:18.679 --> 00:36:20.239
I don't. I yeah.

749
00:36:20.360 --> 00:36:23.880
Once you you look up Easter versus resurrection, and I'm

750
00:36:23.880 --> 00:36:25.960
gonna tell you this. My brother called me from Germany

751
00:36:26.119 --> 00:36:30.440
on this weekend and uh, in Germany they shut down.

752
00:36:30.880 --> 00:36:33.360
The whole country shuts down for three days for Easter,

753
00:36:33.599 --> 00:36:36.000
for resurrections. For this, I have to say Easter because

754
00:36:36.000 --> 00:36:37.719
that's the only way they describe it. Three to me,

755
00:36:38.480 --> 00:36:41.679
you better get your grocery because the stores are closed,

756
00:36:41.960 --> 00:36:42.679
jobs are closed.

757
00:36:42.760 --> 00:36:45.679
McDonald's is closed, wow for three days.

758
00:36:45.880 --> 00:36:50.000
Because Germany is predominantly a Catholic country, so all the

759
00:36:50.280 --> 00:36:54.679
all the different saints and and all that that they observed.

760
00:36:54.960 --> 00:36:58.880
They closed down the country. Can you say a bit

761
00:36:58.880 --> 00:37:01.719
more about the difference of in resurrection. Oh, missy, you're

762
00:37:01.719 --> 00:37:05.840
gonna make me do that, okay, just okay, promise me.

763
00:37:06.159 --> 00:37:11.280
Huh go ahead, No, you're go ahead. Well, apparently the

764
00:37:11.320 --> 00:37:16.280
word easter came from a description of a goddess, a

765
00:37:16.320 --> 00:37:21.719
fertility goddess from Greek mythology. I'm gonna leave that there

766
00:37:22.199 --> 00:37:23.199
resurrection day.

767
00:37:23.239 --> 00:37:26.920
When I say resurrection, it pertains to Jesus Christ dying,

768
00:37:27.000 --> 00:37:31.239
being crucified, dying on the cross, and then ascending right,

769
00:37:31.360 --> 00:37:32.599
raising up, rising up.

770
00:37:32.559 --> 00:37:33.039
From the dead.

771
00:37:33.079 --> 00:37:36.039
It's so funny when you have people sending captions happy Easter,

772
00:37:36.159 --> 00:37:38.639
he's risen. He ain't got nothing to do with that money.

773
00:37:39.079 --> 00:37:41.400
You got nothing to do with the money. You don't it,

774
00:37:41.480 --> 00:37:44.760
don't have nothing. Rabbits, I don't think. I'll go back

775
00:37:44.800 --> 00:37:46.960
and check. But I don't think. I've never seen rabbits

776
00:37:46.960 --> 00:37:49.719
talked about in the Bible, So I don't know how that.

777
00:37:49.760 --> 00:37:53.679
But rabbits are very fertile. They have a lot of

778
00:37:53.719 --> 00:37:58.000
babies all the time. So again, and I don't I

779
00:37:58.000 --> 00:38:02.159
can't pull up that that the definition I found let

780
00:38:02.199 --> 00:38:02.880
me see if I could do it.

781
00:38:03.440 --> 00:38:05.280
Call an AI real quick, y'all talk now.

782
00:38:07.159 --> 00:38:09.800
I just had a so we at.

783
00:38:09.639 --> 00:38:12.280
The restaurant today there was a group of men and

784
00:38:12.320 --> 00:38:14.599
women talking about AI. And it's crazy that we just

785
00:38:14.679 --> 00:38:18.440
had a discussion in class about well, a discussion board.

786
00:38:18.280 --> 00:38:20.480
Where we have to like put our own opinions about AI.

787
00:38:20.559 --> 00:38:25.199
We have several topics, and there's this one AI software

788
00:38:25.360 --> 00:38:26.280
that was hacked, like.

789
00:38:26.239 --> 00:38:29.480
It hacked the company or whatever, and like all the

790
00:38:29.559 --> 00:38:31.440
data was breached and they were.

791
00:38:31.360 --> 00:38:33.280
Sitting over there talking about I'm like, wow, that's just

792
00:38:33.400 --> 00:38:35.599
very interesting because I'm gonna tell my professor tomorrow about

793
00:38:35.599 --> 00:38:40.320
that conversation about how, you know, it's really affecting people's

794
00:38:40.320 --> 00:38:43.119
lives now and people it's like, you know, people being

795
00:38:43.159 --> 00:38:45.280
able to get a job, have a job, et cetera,

796
00:38:45.360 --> 00:38:47.800
be able to actually like sit up here and communicate

797
00:38:47.840 --> 00:38:49.800
with somebody, you know what I'm saying. People are using

798
00:38:49.840 --> 00:38:52.760
AI to do that, of course it's easier instead of

799
00:38:52.800 --> 00:38:55.119
using their critical thinking skills. And I'm like, that's just

800
00:38:55.559 --> 00:38:58.840
very ironic that my professor had us do a discussion

801
00:38:58.880 --> 00:39:01.760
board on like a topic that we could choose about AI,

802
00:39:02.679 --> 00:39:04.880
and mine was basically about how people are using it

803
00:39:04.880 --> 00:39:07.519
in the music industry, like having AI write them a

804
00:39:07.559 --> 00:39:11.440
whole song and I'm like, well, that's not personable, you

805
00:39:11.480 --> 00:39:13.599
know what I'm saying. Like music, we all go to music.

806
00:39:13.679 --> 00:39:15.800
We all listen to music for you know, to make

807
00:39:15.880 --> 00:39:18.920
us either feel motivated, lift us up, whatever the case

808
00:39:18.960 --> 00:39:21.960
may be. And it's like people are using AI to

809
00:39:22.840 --> 00:39:24.760
you know, make it easier.

810
00:39:24.760 --> 00:39:26.639
Right yea, make it like.

811
00:39:26.840 --> 00:39:30.760
That's kind of crazy, and it's like nobody like back then,

812
00:39:30.800 --> 00:39:34.039
we used to have drafts until we had a final,

813
00:39:34.400 --> 00:39:39.199
you know, and it's like, you know, did anyone in

814
00:39:39.239 --> 00:39:42.360
your class use AI to get their answers for the assignment? Yes,

815
00:39:42.400 --> 00:39:47.559
they did, and they've already created thing crazy, but they

816
00:39:47.559 --> 00:39:52.480
can tell whether or not you used AI. Yes, so

817
00:39:52.639 --> 00:39:56.480
they do encourage us to use AI, like for whatever

818
00:39:56.519 --> 00:39:58.559
we want to use it for. But of course it's

819
00:39:58.559 --> 00:40:00.440
supposed to be used to, you know, just anchor you

820
00:40:00.480 --> 00:40:02.079
in a way like you're not supposed to go work

821
00:40:02.119 --> 00:40:02.880
for work, because.

822
00:40:02.679 --> 00:40:05.280
That's how they kind of know. Was that cheating?

823
00:40:05.360 --> 00:40:07.199
Yes, they do consider it cheating if you do not

824
00:40:07.679 --> 00:40:10.039
say why did you use AI and what did you

825
00:40:10.119 --> 00:40:13.199
exactly put into AI? To be able to formulate your

826
00:40:13.239 --> 00:40:16.000
answer because they still expect you to put like make

827
00:40:16.039 --> 00:40:18.440
it human like if you're gonna at least you know,

828
00:40:18.599 --> 00:40:21.000
put a question in there, you know, change it up

829
00:40:21.039 --> 00:40:23.599
to make it sound like yourself. And that's what like

830
00:40:23.679 --> 00:40:27.039
a lot of the topics I read a discussion post about,

831
00:40:27.159 --> 00:40:30.840
you know, putting more human like, making it more human

832
00:40:30.920 --> 00:40:31.920
and everything like that.

833
00:40:32.079 --> 00:40:33.920
But people don't do that because it's easier. I'm not

834
00:40:33.960 --> 00:40:36.199
gonna lie. It is easier, you know, you just put it.

835
00:40:36.199 --> 00:40:37.960
But then again, I'm the type of person that I

836
00:40:38.039 --> 00:40:41.000
double check for credibility because if it's not real, like

837
00:40:41.039 --> 00:40:43.000
I would sit up there and google it, like you know,

838
00:40:43.119 --> 00:40:45.599
sometimes okay, we throw it in there, whatever the case

839
00:40:45.639 --> 00:40:47.719
may be. But nah, I'm a double check to make

840
00:40:47.719 --> 00:40:51.320
sure these numbers are right, because AI be wrong. They

841
00:40:51.400 --> 00:40:53.519
be wrong if you don't actually know what you're doing

842
00:40:53.559 --> 00:40:56.960
for this time, they be definitely wrong. Your professor's gonna know. Okay,

843
00:40:57.000 --> 00:40:59.079
well you just got that from me. I know you did,

844
00:40:59.440 --> 00:41:01.840
cause you know, majority of the class did that. Majority

845
00:41:01.840 --> 00:41:03.760
of the class got that asked, whatever the case may be.

846
00:41:04.159 --> 00:41:09.079
But yeah, consider cheating, Yeah, they're and stuff like that.

847
00:41:09.159 --> 00:41:11.119
If you do not document your use of.

848
00:41:11.079 --> 00:41:15.199
Ad you gotta cite it, yeaciety, and we have to

849
00:41:15.239 --> 00:41:17.199
put specifically what we put in there, and then like

850
00:41:17.199 --> 00:41:19.920
you should take a screenshot of the response that they had.

851
00:41:21.280 --> 00:41:24.559
Ats and stuff like that. Yeah, it's it's that deep now.

852
00:41:24.639 --> 00:41:27.599
But yeah, because a lot of I guess they're going

853
00:41:27.639 --> 00:41:29.800
to be having robots takeover jobs and stuff. That's what

854
00:41:29.840 --> 00:41:34.000
I'm hearing from the people this morning's conversation at the restaurant.

855
00:41:34.000 --> 00:41:36.079
I'm just like, oh, and then with the.

856
00:41:36.360 --> 00:41:39.320
Data breaches and people's you know, information getting out, and

857
00:41:39.360 --> 00:41:40.880
I'm like, well, that's dumb.

858
00:41:41.039 --> 00:41:42.360
I mean, I just don't understand why.

859
00:41:42.440 --> 00:41:45.599
Like I understand, it's you easy right to implement, right,

860
00:41:45.920 --> 00:41:48.239
it saves people time to not have to you know,

861
00:41:48.320 --> 00:41:52.000
put themselves or involve themselves within communication with others. But

862
00:41:52.000 --> 00:41:56.159
it's just like you're putting people's information into something that's

863
00:41:56.199 --> 00:42:00.639
not even fully developed yet, that's still there's still working

864
00:42:00.719 --> 00:42:03.519
on it, Like they're not like they're trying to make

865
00:42:03.559 --> 00:42:06.920
AI more human. So it's just like you can't because

866
00:42:06.920 --> 00:42:10.599
tomorrow we're actually gonna compare like data sheets, like using

867
00:42:10.639 --> 00:42:14.000
AI to compare data sheets tomorrow, so we're gonna see

868
00:42:14.000 --> 00:42:15.639
how that goes in class.

869
00:42:15.280 --> 00:42:17.760
To see if it's gonna be credible or not.

870
00:42:18.360 --> 00:42:21.000
I mean, I do not look forward to doing it,

871
00:42:21.039 --> 00:42:23.639
but you know whatever, that's what I.

872
00:42:23.519 --> 00:42:26.159
Got that I found the information here, I'm gonna do this.

873
00:42:26.440 --> 00:42:27.760
We've got a few more minutes here.

874
00:42:29.280 --> 00:42:32.199
I'm not gonna say the goddess name because I don't

875
00:42:32.239 --> 00:42:34.559
want to call it out into the atmosphere. But it's

876
00:42:34.599 --> 00:42:39.679
a Germanic goddess of spring, dawn, and fertility, often associated

877
00:42:39.719 --> 00:42:43.719
with the origins of the Easter holiday, particularly the name

878
00:42:43.840 --> 00:42:46.000
the hair and the eggs. The rabbit and the eggs

879
00:42:46.480 --> 00:42:51.199
mentioned primarily by the eighth century monk. She's thought to

880
00:42:51.239 --> 00:42:52.880
be a goddess honor in the.

881
00:42:52.880 --> 00:42:58.719
Spring month April, symbolizing renewal and the return of light

882
00:42:58.880 --> 00:43:03.199
after winter. Then it goes on to talk about She's

883
00:43:03.519 --> 00:43:07.559
This goddess is commonly associated with rabbits or hairs, h

884
00:43:07.599 --> 00:43:11.239
a r ees, fertility and eggs representing new life.

885
00:43:11.199 --> 00:43:14.880
Which are, according to folklore, gifted to people in her honor.

886
00:43:15.280 --> 00:43:19.000
But the modern significance the goddess name has been a

887
00:43:19.039 --> 00:43:24.639
popular figure in modern paganism, and Wicca celebrated as her

888
00:43:25.239 --> 00:43:28.920
during the spring of equinox, so it's you know, everybody

889
00:43:29.000 --> 00:43:30.840
you know it's saying it's a fabrication.

890
00:43:30.960 --> 00:43:33.920
I mean, they're gonna go. But it is is considered

891
00:43:34.280 --> 00:43:38.239
paganistic because it's not mentioned in the Bible. But you

892
00:43:38.239 --> 00:43:40.519
can do your own research and you're gonna find it's

893
00:43:40.559 --> 00:43:42.039
gonna go. You know, some people are gonna do this.

894
00:43:42.199 --> 00:43:43.280
But let me tell you what for me.

895
00:43:44.440 --> 00:43:50.360
I know King James, the King James rewrote or altered

896
00:43:50.400 --> 00:43:53.920
the Bible from its origin. I know that I have

897
00:43:54.079 --> 00:43:58.239
only gone by scriptures that I have studied, and I've

898
00:43:58.280 --> 00:44:00.639
actually been able to live them out.

899
00:44:00.840 --> 00:44:01.719
I know that that is.

900
00:44:02.039 --> 00:44:05.159
You know, I get it because you can see some misspellings.

901
00:44:05.400 --> 00:44:07.840
You can see some modern words in there that are

902
00:44:07.880 --> 00:44:09.679
not Greek or Hebrew, you.

903
00:44:09.639 --> 00:44:11.320
Know, and all that kind of stuff. I get it.

904
00:44:11.639 --> 00:44:14.199
But I had to find something that worked for me.

905
00:44:14.719 --> 00:44:17.039
And all I can tell you is it has led me.

906
00:44:17.159 --> 00:44:19.960
I've been running for God, Jesus and the Holy Expiriten

907
00:44:20.000 --> 00:44:22.239
since I was twenty two years old. You know my

908
00:44:22.960 --> 00:44:27.440
story altered it for good or bad? Well, it's told.

909
00:44:27.559 --> 00:44:30.400
It just betolds everything like some stuff.

910
00:44:30.679 --> 00:44:33.440
It's it's still has left out some books and things

911
00:44:33.480 --> 00:44:35.760
like that. But I'm gonna tell you missy. I don't

912
00:44:35.800 --> 00:44:38.800
get I don't stumble over that. I don't get myself

913
00:44:38.840 --> 00:44:42.159
held up with that because time is running by. Well,

914
00:44:42.239 --> 00:44:45.400
one minute it's three forty five, the next minute is

915
00:44:45.440 --> 00:44:46.119
six thirty.

916
00:44:47.119 --> 00:44:49.280
Time is running by. I don't have time.

917
00:44:49.440 --> 00:44:52.119
I got to go by what I know, what I've lived,

918
00:44:52.400 --> 00:44:58.079
what's answered my prayers and things like that. So pray, study,

919
00:44:58.639 --> 00:45:01.679
study the Bible. Don't just read it. Study it. That

920
00:45:01.719 --> 00:45:04.920
means have a pad pen. I've got all kinds of highlighters.

921
00:45:04.960 --> 00:45:08.480
I got multicolored pins here all around me because I

922
00:45:08.519 --> 00:45:10.719
never know when I'm gonna be stuck on a scripture

923
00:45:10.719 --> 00:45:12.800
and I'm like, oh my god, that's that's awesome.

924
00:45:13.039 --> 00:45:14.920
I've got a calendar in front of me at my.

925
00:45:14.880 --> 00:45:17.800
Dining room table where I do my morning scripture act.

926
00:45:18.480 --> 00:45:23.159
I still, since last April, since last year, been reciting

927
00:45:23.239 --> 00:45:26.199
scripture one hundred times a day. It blows my mind

928
00:45:26.199 --> 00:45:28.239
because I'm like, oh my God, Lord Jesus, thank.

929
00:45:28.079 --> 00:45:30.000
You for that scripture, thank you for that word. And

930
00:45:30.039 --> 00:45:33.840
I've said it this before. If you all could take

931
00:45:33.880 --> 00:45:36.519
the Bible and say it's a forest, it's not real,

932
00:45:36.599 --> 00:45:38.920
it's just a good story. I've lived it.

933
00:45:39.239 --> 00:45:41.719
It's worked for me and not that I got everything.

934
00:45:42.039 --> 00:45:45.320
I love to be critiqued. I love to be if

935
00:45:45.320 --> 00:45:48.079
you if you've got something better, let's go. I'll listen.

936
00:45:48.360 --> 00:45:50.880
But I can only tell you what I've lived, what

937
00:45:50.960 --> 00:45:53.960
I've seen, and because of my background and everything else,

938
00:45:54.719 --> 00:45:57.199
I can't. I can't even there's not enough words in

939
00:45:57.239 --> 00:46:00.639
the dictionary to describe a relationship with the Lord Jesus

940
00:46:00.760 --> 00:46:03.480
Christ and how he will have make sure you do

941
00:46:03.719 --> 00:46:06.679
whatever it is that he has commissioned you to do,

942
00:46:06.880 --> 00:46:09.960
destiny you to do. I promise you he will do

943
00:46:09.960 --> 00:46:12.519
it because it's already in you. You didn't wake up.

944
00:46:12.400 --> 00:46:14.039
One day and say, oh, I'm gonna be an actor.

945
00:46:14.519 --> 00:46:16.679
Just what it was already. The skill set was already

946
00:46:16.719 --> 00:46:17.280
in you.

947
00:46:17.280 --> 00:46:19.199
You just had to connect. You needed to plug in.

948
00:46:19.239 --> 00:46:22.880
You need to go audition and see what that tastes like. Lastly,

949
00:46:23.440 --> 00:46:27.440
I believe leaders are innate, they are born. I cannot

950
00:46:27.559 --> 00:46:31.079
teach you how to be a leader unless there's the elements.

951
00:46:31.119 --> 00:46:33.239
The DNA is already in you.

952
00:46:33.920 --> 00:46:35.159
Thing. That's it.

953
00:46:35.280 --> 00:46:38.280
That's our time. Thank you all, even our new folks,

954
00:46:38.320 --> 00:46:40.760
thank you so much. Join us in about two weeks.

955
00:46:40.960 --> 00:46:42.760
Listen to the show for next week it's gonna be

956
00:46:42.800 --> 00:46:45.719
a repeat, but we'll be back on the third Monday

957
00:46:45.719 --> 00:46:48.280
and the fourth Monday, and we're gonna be here. Have

958
00:46:48.320 --> 00:46:52.719
a great week. Please stay safe, stay prayerful. We love you,

959
00:46:52.960 --> 00:46:57.000
and there's nothing you can do about it, he'll say

960
00:47:15.599 --> 00:47:16.280
at

961
00:47:22.039 --> 00:47:47.480
