13
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:53.040

choice. You don't have a choice.

15
00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:59.560
But before I go any further,
let's say prayer. We just God wants

16
00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:02.000
us to pray this show in tonight. Lord, we thank you and we

17
00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:05.840
praise you. We give you glory, for you alone are worthy to be

18
00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:08.039
praised. I thank you, Father
God, for today. I thank you

19
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:13.680
Lord. Twenty four hours ago,
you change my life and it was just

20
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:16.360
in the twinkling of an eye.
I thank you that you are with the

21
00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:21.199
our co host tonight, Father God. I thank you that you are moving

22
00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:24.599
and shaking up things, Father God, and making all the crooked places straight.

23
00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:29.120
We just thank you that they are
allowed to we are allowed to get

24
00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:32.080
to our destinations and we go to
point A to point B, and we

25
00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:36.520
go back to point ay. We
thank you for all the conversations that we

26
00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:38.599
had about you this weekend. We
thank you for the conversations that we had

27
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:42.479
about us this weekend. We just
thank you, Father God. Now,

28
00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:46.000
Lord, this is your show.
Our names may be on it, but

29
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:50.759
that's just for technicality. This is
your show. Is we're your people,

30
00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:54.039
we're your daughters. We stay behind
the cross. You have your way and

31
00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:58.400
Jesus name, we pray, Amen
and Amen. That's how we do it.

32
00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:01.800
That's how we do it. Change
is on the horizon, trade trade

33
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:06.479
all the way away from Virginia what's
happening? My girl? My girl?

34
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:17.000
Okay, hear you? Can you
hear me? Now? Yes? I'm

35
00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:21.599
doing really, really good. Got
some exciting news tonight taught me will be

36
00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:25.719
joy Amen. Um, I just
how's your week been? How's the weather

37
00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:29.800
up there? We just had a
downpour and some threats up some weird some

38
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:35.439
ornado move through just now. It's
maybe sixty degrees here today, the high

39
00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:38.479
not too bad. Beautiful Sunday.
Yeah, just a little little breeze,

40
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:44.240
but not too bad. Nice.
But you wanted to run this idea by

41
00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:47.919
you because I know we're gonna be
talking about Earth Day and mental wellness plans

42
00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:52.400
and things like that, so we're
gonna split the show up into half here.

43
00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:55.360
But God, like as I was
saying in the prayer, he changed

44
00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:59.759
my life and twinkling of an eye, just in a matter of a few

45
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:03.360
hours yesterday of being obedient, and
for the first time in five years,

46
00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:10.280
I danced before the Lord in my
bedroom. I have not danced before God

47
00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:15.360
in five years since all this has
happened to me. And I never thought,

48
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:17.600
because I don't have toes or either
one of my feet, I never

49
00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:20.199
thought I would be able to dance
for the Lord. But I danced and

50
00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:25.639
I cried, and I cried,
and I praised him and I just first

51
00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:29.079
I held onto the bed with my
one and only half of a hand an

52
00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:32.040
arm, And after a while I
had let go, and I let God

53
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:36.759
and the angels held me up.
I was not tired after it was over.

54
00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:42.439
I had no pain after it was
over, and I walked. I

55
00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:45.480
have a new walk. I noticed
today. I was running some errands and

56
00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:48.800
I'm like, I'm not walking the
same like I used to. I sat

57
00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:53.120
in my seat, my driver's seat, and I'm like, normally I leaned

58
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:58.920
over. I wasn't leaning today at
all. I was like, Okay,

59
00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:01.040
God, you're doing you do it. You know, you know what needs

60
00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:03.879
to happen. And he said,
the US are gonna change. Things are

61
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:09.040
gonna change. And another change was
I'm supposed to run this idea by you

62
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:11.759
and Tommy and when she comes back
on I'll repeat it. But I'm gonna

63
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:21.160
ask you if you needed a vacation, how would a cruise for about five

64
00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:35.680
seven days to Jamaica and the Virgin
Island sound to you? Well, you

65
00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:43.199
know companies that run that thought by
me a few times, and you know

66
00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:47.839
when we were COVID not during COVID. Yeah, and then I also to

67
00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:53.759
look at, you know, hurricane
season. So I mean that's something that

68
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:57.560
I would probably have to give some
thought too, timing and you know,

69
00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:03.360
availability and stuff. So at this
point I'm not saying no, but you

70
00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:06.560
know, hey, it's around water, you know. Yeah, it'll be

71
00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:13.920
end of the summer. It'll be
towards end of summer. And uh yeah,

72
00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:16.759
we definitely, well all we throw
in prayer at it most definitely.

73
00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:20.439
But I just want to run that
back because this is a big milestone birthday

74
00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:27.040
for me this year, big time. So you know, my daughters also,

75
00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:30.399
the twins, their birthday month,
their birth month, and we share

76
00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:32.959
the same birth month. So my
baby girls always playing and stuff, you

77
00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:36.079
know, and trying to include mom
and if she can, if she can.

78
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:39.480
So I said, well, hey
wait a minute now, you know,

79
00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:41.720
if we're gonna do something, let
me talk to my co host.

80
00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:45.680
I need to treat them because a
little opportunity, you know, you pay

81
00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:48.000
the taxes and stuff like that,
and we go and eat for days ago

82
00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:50.720
and work out, go pick at
people and do what we do. But

83
00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:54.879
I will be massed up, you
know what I'm saying, but you know,

84
00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:57.199
just think about it. We'll talk
some more about when we have a

85
00:06:57.240 --> 00:07:00.920
brainstorming session. Definitely. Okay,
I'm not at you just for a minute,

86
00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:05.720
a minute, yep. But anyway, tonight we're talking about Earth Dake,

87
00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:10.680
God bless you, Earth Day,
and of course everybody's you know,

88
00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:15.360
it's it's a it's a tag,
it's a slogan everybody's talking about. But

89
00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:19.040
as as you're talking about Earth Day
and celebrating Earth, I guess or or

90
00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:25.560
I don't know what all that means. Um that you're still throwing trash out

91
00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:29.439
of your window as you're driving you
still I don't know why people will not

92
00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:32.519
take the grocery bags that we get
from the walmarts and the targets and the

93
00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:36.040
public says, and you know,
the dollar generals and use those. I

94
00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:40.199
mean, you don't use them all
up. I use them in every trash

95
00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:43.720
the small trash can I haven't there
here in my house. But I also

96
00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:46.720
use them for my car. I
have a whole stack in my car,

97
00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:49.600
and so, you know, because
I'm not gonna throw anything out of the

98
00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:54.319
window, and so, you know, it just amazes me and I just

99
00:07:54.319 --> 00:07:58.040
see people just you know, one
person was in the McDonald's drive through and

100
00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:01.439
through the just took the cups and
put it on the ground. There's a

101
00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:05.759
little trash can not even two feet
away from you. So I'm not quite

102
00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:09.519
sure what the celebration of Earth Day
is all about. I didn't do my

103
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:13.519
due diligence on this one because I
was like, well, I know we

104
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:16.839
were gonna be talking about it,
and I just thought, you know,

105
00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:20.040
I think it's just one of those
situations or those awarenesses that people like to

106
00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:24.160
throw it out there. They probably
get a couple of grants on doing some

107
00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:30.199
project clean up. I know my
commissioner did a awesome job this weekend.

108
00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:33.919
She had her corridor leaders out,
team leaders out and they were cleaning up

109
00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:37.240
the you know, some areas,
some residential areas. So and she's a

110
00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:41.120
stickler for that. So I give
her props on that. Commissioner more,

111
00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:43.759
I give her props on that.
Definitely. She she puts it down,

112
00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:48.039
she schedules it, and they're out
there in the vests and stuff like that.

113
00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:52.159
So they've done a very good job. But you know, I don't

114
00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:54.480
know what anybody else is doing.
You know, I know that I was

115
00:08:54.559 --> 00:09:00.480
raised to not walk on people grass
and not park on people grants. And

116
00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:03.000
it was funny. I was listening
to um. I don't know what the

117
00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:07.679
rapper's name, but he's got a
little webcast podcast where he has all the

118
00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:11.399
liquor on the table and they're smoking
cigars and other stuff too, but he

119
00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:16.120
talks about They mentioned one well known
rapper who he said, you can't walk

120
00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:18.039
on his grass. You better not
or you will get cussed out, and

121
00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:22.200
he would never invite you to his
house. And I was like, well,

122
00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:24.080
I was. I was refreshing to
hear that, because nobody self talks

123
00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:28.840
about that, But that to me
would be a way of respecting the grass

124
00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:31.399
and our greenery out there. You
don't walk on on ours, on your

125
00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:35.279
grass, on anybody's grass if unless
they give you permission. You don't park

126
00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:39.960
on anybody's grass. Uh. This
fact. This weekend Saturday, I just

127
00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:43.000
happened to go out and I said, what the heck? And I was

128
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:48.080
going out anyway real quick before class
started, and this guy next door neighbor

129
00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:52.480
had a visitor and he parked the
opposite way all my grass. I said,

130
00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:54.200
excuse me, and they're trying to
ignore me. I said, you

131
00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:56.600
could you can't ignore me. I'm
not gonna scream in the mic, but

132
00:09:56.960 --> 00:10:01.279
I raised my voice politely. I
said, use me. Can you please

133
00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:03.759
move your car? Go park on
his grass? Whoever you're here to see,

134
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:07.440
I have sprinkler heads underneath there.
At five years ago, they cast

135
00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:11.399
forty one dollars a piece. Oh, I was so sorry, ma'am.

136
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:13.399
I'm sorry. And sure enough he
parked on the neighbor's grass and that's fine.

137
00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:16.720
I don't have a problem with that. But I have a neighbor that

138
00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:22.200
drives on the grass in between the
houses. I got sprinkler systems out there.

139
00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:24.600
So you know, you know,
let's go with to respect. If

140
00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:30.639
you're going to acknowledge Earth Day,
please respect it. Take your trash.

141
00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:35.200
If you don't have an automatic trash
bag in your car. All the major

142
00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:39.320
places you're going have little trash bins. You may have to walk away from

143
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:41.879
the front door, but you know
you got it it instead of keeping it

144
00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:46.840
in your car or put a trash
bag in your car. That's not going

145
00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:50.200
to hurt all these bags that you
go to, Like I said, family,

146
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:54.320
Dollar, Dollar, General, Target, Walmart, publics, all the

147
00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:56.240
places, and you go bed,
bath and beyond. You're gonna talk about

148
00:10:56.240 --> 00:10:58.879
that in a minute. You know, any other places you get bad,

149
00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:03.840
where do you store them? You
throw them away, use them for as

150
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:07.200
to trash. They there, you
put them right in, you recycle bit

151
00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:11.000
and you're done because it's all paper
and tissue. You're done. So if

152
00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:15.039
you're gonna respect, then you want
to call out, you know, Earth,

153
00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:20.279
they respect the earth. The Earth
is tired. This is where we're

154
00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:26.840
seeing all these natural disasters, especially
volcanoes that have been asleep for over a

155
00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:31.919
hundred years. And they give you
no mourning. Next thing, you know,

156
00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:37.080
you look and the ground is shaking
and lava and fire is out.

157
00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:43.279
It's out, and it covers,
it covers, and that lava kills whatever

158
00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:46.600
it touches. It rolls down that
the volcano itself and once it gets to

159
00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:52.279
the ground, to greenery, vegetation, even animals. It's killing everything in

160
00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:56.600
its path. But it took a
while for that thing to start simmering.

161
00:11:56.159 --> 00:12:01.480
It took a while for that to
start erupt it, but to make its

162
00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:07.080
way up. Amen, you know, so you gotta, you know,

163
00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:13.000
you gotta pay attention to what's happening. Because the Earth is going on about

164
00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:16.200
its business. It's going on about
its business. It's not it's not giving

165
00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:20.399
any signals, any warnings. All
of a sudden, clouds rolled up here

166
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:24.480
today. Next thing we know,
we were under a tornado watch and and

167
00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:28.240
everything else, and I possible hail. They have to put it all out

168
00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:31.879
there. They don't even know what
was going on. Gotta happen. They

169
00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:35.120
don't know what was gonna happen.
And there are many people who think about,

170
00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:37.360
oh, I don't watch the news, so and that's fine. I

171
00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:41.799
get it. But I'm hoping you're
hearing something because a lot of y'all are

172
00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:45.720
caught out there in the rain.
I mean, ain't poor. And it

173
00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:50.799
thundered, and then it was over
because I was praying, please don't let

174
00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:56.600
me lose my electricity, and I'm
thinking, really, I said, okay,

175
00:12:56.600 --> 00:12:58.840
should I contact Rebel and say,
you know what, we're just playing

176
00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:03.200
on show because just in case we
lose power here in Orlando, here in

177
00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:09.120
Florida. But God said no,
you'll be all right. And the moment

178
00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:11.120
he said that, the sun began
to shout. I said, kay,

179
00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:16.399
thank you, thank you Lord,
thank you God Father God. I know

180
00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:20.320
somebody just popped in and said hello
and hello and thank you for joining and

181
00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:24.360
all that good stuff and sit back
and the day you go, Okay,

182
00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:28.440
um, I don't know what's up, but God is that's what's up.

183
00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:33.000
And we're gonna set it straight tonight. A been but thank you. Another

184
00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:37.559
part we want to talk about um
as you know, Bed Bath and Beyond

185
00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:45.159
UH sent its loyal customers email this
weekend letting us know that not only are

186
00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:48.559
they filing for chapter eleven, they
filed for chapter eleven, but they've also

187
00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:52.320
taken it to the next step.
They're closing their stores. And so if

188
00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:56.600
you've got coupons, and if you
know anything about Bed Bath and Beyond,

189
00:13:56.960 --> 00:14:01.159
your coupon could be expired last year. If you got it, bring it

190
00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:05.279
in they will honor it. That's
the only store that I know that will

191
00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:09.080
do that. So everybody. Yeah, So I was at the bank to

192
00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:13.120
day. I laid that on my
tellers and they're like, oh my god,

193
00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:16.159
they're really closing. And it's like, yeah, they're closing up all

194
00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:20.519
the stores. They tried, they
said, we tried to hang in there.

195
00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:24.120
We tried, but their quarters were
you know. And another thing that's

196
00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:28.919
happening. I went to Walmart looking
for some Walla leaves and I'll talk about

197
00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:33.360
that another time. But and I'm
like, because I looked on the website

198
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:35.759
and they're supposed to have it.
So I'm looking, and I'm walking into

199
00:14:35.799 --> 00:14:43.080
the produce area and there's the cilantro, there is another greenery, some turn

200
00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:46.480
up greens, and everything just throw
it in a bin, not packaged up

201
00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:50.559
at all, not sealed up at
all, thrown in a bin. So

202
00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:56.000
everybody putting their hands down in there
to get that stuff. And I'm like,

203
00:14:56.200 --> 00:15:00.200
what's going on? And the shelves
were empty tray. It looked like

204
00:15:00.360 --> 00:15:03.080
we were about we were preparing for
a hurricane. And nobody said that.

205
00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:07.559
The meteorologists did not say that yesterday. They did. I say that over

206
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:11.799
the week we had some suspect rain, you know, some suggested rain next

207
00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:16.919
week, but didn't pinpoint it for
us up here. So I can see

208
00:15:16.919 --> 00:15:18.840
if we were expecting a hurricane.
But that's what Walmart, one of the

209
00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:24.440
Walmarts I visited, looked like.
And I'm like, I couldn't find honey.

210
00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:30.279
I couldn't find honey, And of
course I didn't find the gualala leaves.

211
00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:33.679
But I already put Amazon on standby
just in case. I wasn't gonna

212
00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:37.720
find it. I know they'll find
me some leaves and get it to me.

213
00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:41.159
Okay. So I'm looking at the
world. I'm looking at people in

214
00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:45.960
a hurry. I'm looking at people
hitting each other with the baskets accidentally.

215
00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:48.720
I'm looking at people trying to look
at their cell phone or talk on their

216
00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:54.679
phone and don't care who's listening,
and just I mean ramming into people,

217
00:15:54.720 --> 00:16:00.559
not even paying any attention. And
then Walmart I was at completely packed and

218
00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:04.720
they kept coming in. Cap coming
in, You're going out, people coming

219
00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:11.519
in. So I don't know what's
on folks minds right now. And again,

220
00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:15.399
I am going to go to bed, bath and beyond tomorrow. I'm

221
00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:18.840
gonna grab up all my coupons and
going in get me a Black and Decker

222
00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:23.240
vacuum or something, and maybe a
blender or something, just to remember them

223
00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:27.480
by. But by the time we
got our email, the loyal customers got

224
00:16:27.519 --> 00:16:32.639
the email, it was already leaked
to the news and by Sunday evening they

225
00:16:32.639 --> 00:16:37.480
were already reporting it. Sunday afternoon
they were already reporting it. So we

226
00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:41.120
know PNC Bank is down here.
I understand they're closing forty one of their

227
00:16:41.159 --> 00:16:45.360
locations and they're the newest bank on
the scene. They're not even um what,

228
00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:49.919
twenty years old here, so I
think it was in the last fifteen

229
00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:55.080
years that that bank showed up here. But they're closing forty one of them.

230
00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:56.240
I'm not sure if they're out of
the state or not, but I

231
00:16:56.320 --> 00:17:02.879
know here in Florida, So things
are moving. Nobody's talking, nobody's telling

232
00:17:02.919 --> 00:17:07.599
you, nobody's giving us a warning. Tim this ship is this shit is

233
00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:14.400
okay? Amen? Amen. I'm
just praying that you, you know,

234
00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:18.759
definitely be safe and all that jazz
as well. So um but yeah,

235
00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:22.799
I'm just sharing with Trey about bed
Bath and Beyond its closing their doors.

236
00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:26.920
And then they also said bring your
coupons in this week. They cannot honor

237
00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:30.400
them after this week, So if
you got coupons, if you got a

238
00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:33.240
minute, go by the store.
And I think some of the stores have

239
00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:37.160
ninety percent off of stuff. So
I can only imagine what I'm gonna walk

240
00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:41.079
in and see when I do go, because people are already been you know,

241
00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:45.200
I mean, I mean the last
twenty four hours. I was sharing

242
00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:51.240
with Trade that I went to Walmart
this weekend and in the produce area of

243
00:17:51.240 --> 00:17:55.119
the cilantro. The turn up greens
and some other greenery was just in a

244
00:17:55.200 --> 00:17:59.599
binding, wasn't sealed up at all, wasn't in a plastic bag at all,

245
00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:02.680
just like somebody just took it out
and put it in the bin.

246
00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:06.839
The black ben ull say okay,
and the shelves look as if we were

247
00:18:06.839 --> 00:18:11.960
preparing for a hurricane. So you
know, the Earth is doing its thing.

248
00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:15.799
It doesn't prepare, It does not
tell you anything. And for some

249
00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:22.000
strange reason, something is happening in
the atmosphere because the local different about three

250
00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:30.640
different channels, FX, DH one
and Sci Fi have been playing twenty twelve,

251
00:18:30.839 --> 00:18:37.920
the movie twenty twelve constantly throughout this
last couple of weeks, throughout this

252
00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:41.160
last week especially then it playing the
movie twenty twelve, And you know how

253
00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:45.559
what that that's all about? So
I don't know who is thinking and what's

254
00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:49.160
thinking and what's heads up they've got. But they're playing twister. They're playing

255
00:18:49.200 --> 00:18:55.200
twister almost every day now, every
day now. So I don't know what

256
00:18:55.480 --> 00:19:00.400
more we can learn from that except
be prepared, be prepared. I've had

257
00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:04.000
conversations with some folks about you know
what, you know, if we if

258
00:19:04.119 --> 00:19:08.519
if Florida tourists of martial law,
and we only have three days to vacate.

259
00:19:08.519 --> 00:19:15.279
Where will we go? Where will
we go? Because you have other

260
00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:22.200
governors and politicians thinking the same way, So where will we go? And

261
00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:26.839
I know nobody wants to hear that, and you want to attach conspiracy theory

262
00:19:26.839 --> 00:19:27.680
and all like no, no,
no, this is this is, this

263
00:19:27.720 --> 00:19:36.240
is biblical reality. And those last
days, men will be lovers of themselves,

264
00:19:36.240 --> 00:19:40.920
will turn against their parents, parents
will turn against their children. And

265
00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:44.279
those last days, daughter in laws
and mother in laws will be fighting,

266
00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:48.000
Fighting will break out. There will
be rumors of wars, and there will

267
00:19:48.039 --> 00:19:55.160
be wars. We still got we
got war going on out there. So

268
00:19:55.640 --> 00:20:00.559
we're living. It's biblical time.
It's biblical time. And if you have

269
00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:07.359
not stayed the word, I feel
for you because this is coming to pass.

270
00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:11.839
It's here. It's not coming,
it's here. It's here. And

271
00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:17.559
you're either gonna choose the report whose
report you will believe, You believe the

272
00:20:17.599 --> 00:20:22.559
report of the Lord, or you're
gonna believe the report of man. And

273
00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:26.119
I was sharing tell me that I
was listening to something on Sunday morning and

274
00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:30.440
I got out of my bed,
didn't brush my teeth or anything. Had

275
00:20:30.480 --> 00:20:33.640
already said the kids their words for
the day, the scripture for the day.

276
00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:37.559
But I had to praise him,
and I praise God for the first

277
00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:41.880
time in five years. Yesterday morning, I leaned on the bed with my

278
00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:45.079
half a hand and after a while
I had to let it go. And

279
00:20:45.160 --> 00:20:48.079
the angels. I know the angels
happen. I know they happen, but

280
00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:52.799
I praised them, and I cried, and I prayed and I praised and

281
00:20:52.359 --> 00:20:57.519
and I know most of you don't
understand what that could be like, because

282
00:20:57.599 --> 00:21:03.480
yeah, you have those thoughts.
So the last few weeks and within five

283
00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:07.160
years now, it's been five years
since I've written an escalator. I've written

284
00:21:07.160 --> 00:21:11.599
an escalator. It's been five years
since I've danced before the Lord. I

285
00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:17.039
danced before the Lord. Amen.
And today I went to my prosthetic and

286
00:21:17.519 --> 00:21:22.920
orthotic company for an appointment because they're
redoing my arm, my functioning arm,

287
00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:27.200
and adding some updated sensors in it
and everything else. Medicare donna pay for

288
00:21:27.319 --> 00:21:32.160
the Medicare will pay for the censors
that are twenty over twenty from the nineteen

289
00:21:32.279 --> 00:21:37.839
sixties, and we have new technology
out there. But God is good and

290
00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:41.759
favor is fair. And I had
been teasing my folks and I said,

291
00:21:41.799 --> 00:21:45.960
this is limbless, you know,
appreciation month or aware of this month,

292
00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:48.480
and when we're gonna party, what
we're gonna do? So they so then

293
00:21:49.359 --> 00:21:52.079
we didn't order subs. I went
by the Dollar General and got me a

294
00:21:52.119 --> 00:21:56.759
box of eighteen package of chips,
because you're not American. If you're eating

295
00:21:56.759 --> 00:22:00.960
a sandwich without a chip, you're
not a man American. And I will

296
00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:03.160
call you out everything that's not a
Florida thing. That's an American thing.

297
00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:07.720
You don't have a sub and you
don't have some chips nearby you just and

298
00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:11.960
you can't have any chip. You
can't have little fritos and cheetos, no

299
00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:15.480
crunchy up things. And you need
a lace or blue you know, or

300
00:22:15.640 --> 00:22:19.279
ranch the rito chip or you need
that that something flat. You can do

301
00:22:19.319 --> 00:22:22.400
some ridges if you want. Now, if you want your ridges, go

302
00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:27.119
right ahead, you know, but
you have that flavorite chip barbecue que day,

303
00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:30.839
you go ranch, you know,
you got to because but you you

304
00:22:30.839 --> 00:22:34.440
you're not American. So I went
and got my own box, ain't you

305
00:22:34.559 --> 00:22:38.319
Jesus? Yes suh? And the
reception is like, oh, miss Gray

306
00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:41.160
you brought your own snacks in.
I said, no, just some chips.

307
00:22:41.359 --> 00:22:44.880
It ain't no stack. And I'm
taking this with me and whatever we

308
00:22:44.920 --> 00:22:49.960
don't eat, we tell ticket I
ain't playing. I brought me a little

309
00:22:51.200 --> 00:22:56.200
Fanta orange soda and we we and
my technician was like, so miss Gray,

310
00:22:56.480 --> 00:22:59.640

00:22:59.680 --> 00:23:03.799

00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:18.720
thank you, I take mine.
Thank you. So favor is fair,

316
00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:22.440
favor is fair, and I think
I've convinced them. Let's do a reality

317
00:23:22.440 --> 00:23:23.960
show on Bravo. Um, I
got him convinced. I've thought to the

318
00:23:25.319 --> 00:23:27.920
stay aff today. I said,
I got to play myself, of course,

319
00:23:29.000 --> 00:23:30.640
you know, but I think I've
convinced them, so you know,

320
00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:34.160
yeah, we'll be talking about that. But anyway, God is good all

321
00:23:34.200 --> 00:23:38.599
the time, all the time.
And before we talk about the mental health,

322
00:23:38.680 --> 00:23:44.759
mental wellness peace, UM, I
am collecting brand new books my nonprofit.

323
00:23:45.200 --> 00:23:48.519
My spiritual son is coming in from
Carolina next week to a T.

324
00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:52.440
D. Jake's conference or some sort
and we're gonna meet up and he's gonna

325
00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:56.279
take it because he's heading back to
Ghana later this summer, and so I

326
00:23:56.279 --> 00:23:59.240
want to go head of handing the
books, and I want to hand him

327
00:23:59.279 --> 00:24:02.240
thirty brand new books. And if
you all are curious about what that means,

328
00:24:02.599 --> 00:24:06.200
my no, I've always believed that
every child needs a brand new book

329
00:24:06.200 --> 00:24:08.519
at some point in their life.
My first job at fourteen was working in

330
00:24:08.519 --> 00:24:11.920
the library. I also worked in
the city library and the college library when

331
00:24:11.960 --> 00:24:18.440
I was at Palm Beach Atlantic,
and so library, the library is very

332
00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:22.720
special to me, and so I
just think. And then when I was

333
00:24:22.759 --> 00:24:27.079
an a MARACORPS member with working with
the literacy for a coalition out of Delray

334
00:24:27.160 --> 00:24:33.480
Beach, I myself and a two
other teammates say, well, we're gonna

335
00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:37.400
I say, what was one of
my goals as a MARACORPS member. You

336
00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:41.559
have goals, and one of my
goals was to attend five hundred community health

337
00:24:42.440 --> 00:24:47.720
fairs in Palmache County. So my
coordinator was like, you don't think that's

338
00:24:47.720 --> 00:24:48.720
a lot. I said, no, this is Palmiach County. I can

339
00:24:48.759 --> 00:24:52.119
go to del Ray, I can
go to the Hokey I got. I

340
00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:55.039
can take the whole area in north, south, east and west. There

341
00:24:55.079 --> 00:24:59.720
will be five hundred and I actually
had five hundred and twenty. I think

342
00:24:59.799 --> 00:25:03.559
that I ended up going and so
every Saturday, you know, but my

343
00:25:03.680 --> 00:25:06.319
coach, my teammates, and I
said, you know what we don't have.

344
00:25:06.400 --> 00:25:07.960
We can't just be buying books all
the time. So let's buy coloring

345
00:25:08.039 --> 00:25:12.720
books. Let's buy some crayons.
And we we taped three or four crayons

346
00:25:12.839 --> 00:25:17.279
or each book coloring book. So
we set up our booth and everything.

347
00:25:17.279 --> 00:25:19.680
We talked about a miracle. We
had our handout pamphlets and stuff like that,

348
00:25:19.960 --> 00:25:25.319
but every child got to choose a
coloring book. So one day we

349
00:25:25.359 --> 00:25:30.079
get beat and you know, we
called in and Audrey said, I need

350
00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:33.920
you all to come down right now
to darl Ray. And I was like,

351
00:25:33.960 --> 00:25:37.519
okay, hey, so we all
you know, landed there and everything,

352
00:25:37.799 --> 00:25:41.319
and she said, we just received
a donation of ten thousand dollars worth

353
00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:48.319
of brand new books. And I'm
like, what what'd you say? What

354
00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:52.559
you're talking about? And then she
goes, okay, so and Darlene,

355
00:25:52.599 --> 00:25:56.799
who was the executive director. She
said, Darlene said that you all could

356
00:25:56.799 --> 00:26:00.160
take one or two books, one
or two. There's about twelve of us,

357
00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:03.079
right, it was about eight to
twelve of us. I said,

358
00:26:03.079 --> 00:26:06.200
what a two? So she said, Lisa, would you mind checking off

359
00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:10.079
doing the checklist and checking off who
takes what? I'm so sure? So

360
00:26:10.160 --> 00:26:11.240
Amy and Andre came over to me. They got their books. They said,

361
00:26:11.319 --> 00:26:15.359
you want us to get yourself.
I pray for this. This is

362
00:26:15.400 --> 00:26:21.160
my goal that every child we meet
this year while we're here, he gets

363
00:26:21.160 --> 00:26:23.839
a brand new book. And here
they are. No, I'll wait to

364
00:26:23.960 --> 00:26:27.680
everybody get there. Pick your books. Everybody pick your book because now you

365
00:26:27.720 --> 00:26:32.599
only get two. Pick your books. Yeah, all right, don't they

366
00:26:32.680 --> 00:26:34.640
get some Spanish woe over the Spanish
speaking. Go right there you go?

367
00:26:36.400 --> 00:26:40.839
So I kid you not. It
wasn't even ten minutes later. Audrey comes

368
00:26:40.920 --> 00:26:42.400
back around the corner. She said, well, you're not gonna believe this.

369
00:26:42.440 --> 00:26:45.079
But Darline said take them all.
I said, okay, back,

370
00:26:45.119 --> 00:26:48.640
my car is backed up, here's
my keys, put everything. Get your

371
00:26:48.640 --> 00:26:52.799
books now, because once we packed
the box up, we're gonna tape it

372
00:26:52.839 --> 00:26:56.160
back. They're going to my egg
scoring in my car. There we go,

373
00:26:56.839 --> 00:26:59.720
and to this day, I still
have a gingerbread Man book. I

374
00:26:59.720 --> 00:27:03.319
think I about two or three in
the garage. Yeah, they came to

375
00:27:03.400 --> 00:27:07.240
boy garage and we use those books. We had Spanish speaking books everything,

376
00:27:07.359 --> 00:27:14.079
and we still did the coloring books
too. So literacy and brand new books

377
00:27:14.079 --> 00:27:17.359
have stuck with me forever. So
I'm not surprised that God said, you

378
00:27:17.400 --> 00:27:22.319
know, for the nonprofit you,
whenever you go out to do a healthfare

379
00:27:22.400 --> 00:27:25.880
or whatever, take some brand new
books for kids. And now. Then

380
00:27:25.920 --> 00:27:29.000
my spiritual son, who's also my
stepson, said, well, he's a

381
00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:36.680
missionary or educating educating educator and missionary, and he's chosen Ghana, a town

382
00:27:36.680 --> 00:27:40.240
in Ghana, a village and they're
building a school. And I said,

383
00:27:40.319 --> 00:27:42.400
we will, we will help them
with their library. And so we got

384
00:27:42.400 --> 00:27:45.680
twenty two books over there last year. We're gonna get thirty over there this

385
00:27:45.759 --> 00:27:49.519
year. And I know we are, so I've already talked to my sponsors.

386
00:27:49.559 --> 00:27:52.240
I already said. Then the email, my daughter made a beautiful flyer,

387
00:27:55.160 --> 00:27:57.160
and you know the deadline is gonna
be Friday, because he'll be coming

388
00:27:57.160 --> 00:28:00.839
in next week. So whatever we
don't you know, I don't receive,

389
00:28:00.920 --> 00:28:03.319
will take care of it. God's
gonna take care of it. He may

390
00:28:03.359 --> 00:28:06.440
have fifty books going with him.
I don't know, but he sent the

391
00:28:06.480 --> 00:28:11.440
little thing back. The kids say
thank you, miss Lesia and we loved

392
00:28:11.480 --> 00:28:15.000
you, and I'm like, oh
my God. Then expect that I still

393
00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:18.200
got the video. Okay, So
you know, God is good. So

394
00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:19.599
if anybody wants to go Nate,
let me know. Y'all know how to

395
00:28:19.599 --> 00:28:23.200
reach us, reach out to Trail
or you can Tommy, however you want

396
00:28:23.200 --> 00:28:26.400
to do it, cash, app
donations, We're good. If you need

397
00:28:26.400 --> 00:28:30.960
a receipt, I can write you
a receipt because we're five or one three

398
00:28:30.039 --> 00:28:34.400
s hallelujah. All right, Tray, Now you gotta get on up here

399
00:28:34.440 --> 00:28:40.960
here and we gotta talk about this
mental health and mental wellness planning and being

400
00:28:40.960 --> 00:28:42.960
able to not only take care of
your household. It's not just about you

401
00:28:44.039 --> 00:28:48.400
as the individual. It's everybody in
your immediate space that you're caring about and

402
00:28:48.440 --> 00:28:52.599
you're concerned about. I'm very concerned. I'm watching young people, I'm watching

403
00:28:52.640 --> 00:29:00.279
older people walk around and just be
in They're like in a cloud. More

404
00:29:00.359 --> 00:29:03.160
man stepped off the sidewalk and I'm
like, don't, don't do that because

405
00:29:03.160 --> 00:29:06.559
the cars are just going and he
wasn't even thinking you could. And he

406
00:29:06.680 --> 00:29:10.119
was not disheveled, he was not
a homeless person, and you could tell,

407
00:29:10.240 --> 00:29:11.839
I don't know what was on his
mind. So you know, Tray

408
00:29:11.960 --> 00:29:17.559
listen and telling me, let's talk
about what kind of what could mental wellness

409
00:29:17.680 --> 00:29:21.160
planning be? What could that look
like for different families and stuff like that,

410
00:29:21.519 --> 00:29:23.839
and encourage our folks that are listening
that you need to have one,

411
00:29:25.079 --> 00:29:27.240
even if you say you're fine.
Because that's why I'm getting the Guatemala the

412
00:29:27.319 --> 00:29:33.759
guava leaves because a lady from Jamaica
said that that's what they use expect for

413
00:29:33.839 --> 00:29:38.359
the people who appear to be anxious
or depressed. You get you some tea

414
00:29:38.440 --> 00:29:45.000
and you drink it. I'm not
depressed and I'm not anxious. How bava,

415
00:29:45.480 --> 00:29:55.440
I'll give me some guaba tea luah
with some honey. Okay, so

416
00:29:56.240 --> 00:30:02.839
here I am um. So mental
wellness can I think it be mean different

417
00:30:02.839 --> 00:30:07.920
things to different people depending on what
you're you're going through, But I definitely

418
00:30:07.960 --> 00:30:15.359
want to emphasize having a support system. You know your goal to people because

419
00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:22.599
when all else fails, sometimes you
need that human that that voice of reason,

420
00:30:23.400 --> 00:30:27.599
someone that you trust that's not that's
got your best interests at hard,

421
00:30:27.599 --> 00:30:33.960
it's going to tell you the truth. That's gonna be UM empathetic to you

422
00:30:34.359 --> 00:30:41.480
UM and just going to be that
sound voice or just somebody that you can

423
00:30:41.599 --> 00:30:47.119
vent to. What I noticed too
with some people in our generation, you

424
00:30:47.160 --> 00:30:53.319
know, folks are leaving here and
you know it's not it's not even the

425
00:30:53.759 --> 00:30:57.119
point that you can think, okay, you know certain ages and stuff,

426
00:30:57.119 --> 00:31:02.039
but they're leaving here early. You
know they are getting out of here early,

427
00:31:02.680 --> 00:31:10.720
whether it be due to um tragic
or violence or you know the mental

428
00:31:10.799 --> 00:31:15.839
illness or you know the bullying.
You know, you're either taking yourself out

429
00:31:15.960 --> 00:31:21.440
or being taken out. Um.
So, but then there's that part where

430
00:31:21.559 --> 00:31:26.559
you know life is happening. You
know people are aging, and you know

431
00:31:26.720 --> 00:31:30.240
it's you look around, it's like
your peers. You know people are going.

432
00:31:30.400 --> 00:31:34.279
So trying to handle that, you
know and focus on what you know,

433
00:31:34.319 --> 00:31:38.119
what you can do. But I
think too having the resources of people

434
00:31:40.519 --> 00:31:45.519
UM taking one day at a time, uh, and sometimes you have to

435
00:31:45.519 --> 00:31:49.119
have those conversations with folks and even
us in the mental health field. Sometimes

436
00:31:49.119 --> 00:31:52.960
you need that that other voice,
You need that other input from folks,

437
00:31:53.519 --> 00:32:00.000
uh and being able to express yourself
and then also having other tools right stuff

438
00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:04.160
down, get your journal, take
a walk, exercise, get those juices

439
00:32:04.200 --> 00:32:08.039
flowing, and and when you feel
yourself and about to be in a funk,

440
00:32:08.559 --> 00:32:14.480
change the atmosphere, change your thoughts. Um. Then sometimes we can

441
00:32:14.519 --> 00:32:16.680
think of things that make us sand, you know, and sometimes you try

442
00:32:16.720 --> 00:32:22.079
to think of pleasant things your past, your memories, but sometimes those can

443
00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:24.480
lead you to sadness as well,
especially if you think about loved ones and

444
00:32:25.039 --> 00:32:28.559
you think about how they used to
make your lab and then you think about

445
00:32:28.559 --> 00:32:31.240
while they're they're no longer here,
which puts you in a different place.

446
00:32:31.599 --> 00:32:37.559
So you gotta be in tune to
yourself and recognize how you're feeling and and

447
00:32:37.559 --> 00:32:44.759
and be proactive in getting yourself from
that space that could also, you know,

448
00:32:45.319 --> 00:32:51.400
put you on a funk if possible, If you open windows, you

449
00:32:51.480 --> 00:32:54.240
know, brighten up the room,
you let some sunshine in, if you

450
00:32:54.319 --> 00:32:59.119
gotta stand on the porch, let
the sunshine in. And these are some

451
00:32:59.160 --> 00:33:04.160
of the things I had to do
for myself. You know, especially after

452
00:33:04.200 --> 00:33:07.799
the loss of my dad, I
had to do that for myself. And

453
00:33:07.000 --> 00:33:14.279
and I say, even though he
was ninety one and I knew that death

454
00:33:14.400 --> 00:33:17.559
was gonna be and it's gonna happen
either for him or for me, you

455
00:33:17.559 --> 00:33:21.200
know, because like I said,
you can't determine who's gonna go first.

456
00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:25.920
But I think it just did something
to me and also be you know,

457
00:33:27.000 --> 00:33:30.559
watching him lead here and there's nothing
that you can do about it, you

458
00:33:30.599 --> 00:33:36.359
know, so that leaves you know, I'm glad I was there. I'm

459
00:33:36.359 --> 00:33:39.680
glad he had family around, but
still is the helplessness, like it's nothing

460
00:33:39.759 --> 00:33:43.880
I can do. You know,
God's got him, and I'm hoping he's

461
00:33:43.920 --> 00:33:47.720
okay and understanding because at that one
he was not talking. He was just

462
00:33:47.799 --> 00:33:53.559
kind of there. And but you
know, watching the whole process too and

463
00:33:53.640 --> 00:33:57.559
just thinking about it that you know, I don't know if you call that

464
00:33:57.640 --> 00:34:04.880
traumatic or what, but it was
sad, but you know, glad to

465
00:34:05.079 --> 00:34:07.559
be there. So, like I
said, just know, you're you're what

466
00:34:08.199 --> 00:34:13.239
affects you, and you when you
start feeling a certain way, move it

467
00:34:13.280 --> 00:34:17.280
to something else. You got to
can't stay there in that space. Uh,

468
00:34:17.280 --> 00:34:22.840
And that thought so that's that's my
thing about want to wellness. And

469
00:34:22.880 --> 00:34:23.960
I want to interject Tommy, and
I want you to come on in.

470
00:34:24.119 --> 00:34:29.480
But um, a couple of things
you said trade we already know people mainly

471
00:34:29.519 --> 00:34:31.920
say I have nobody to talk to, and I know I'm going to talk

472
00:34:31.960 --> 00:34:36.159
to two different populations, two different
groups. I want to talk to the

473
00:34:36.239 --> 00:34:39.400
leadership group out there. I mean, you're in leadership in some capacity.

474
00:34:39.400 --> 00:34:43.800
You're a pastor, you're a teacher, you're the principal of a school,

475
00:34:43.800 --> 00:34:47.239
you're the CEO of a of an
organization. Um, And I know,

476
00:34:47.440 --> 00:34:51.400
and this is gonna sound a little
a little really really a little weird,

477
00:34:51.440 --> 00:34:53.199
but let me let me tell you. I know what it's like. I

478
00:34:53.280 --> 00:34:57.199
know what some of you are feeling
like. I don't have anybody to talk

479
00:34:57.199 --> 00:35:02.719
to because everybody around me looks to
me. They don't expect that I could

480
00:35:02.719 --> 00:35:08.199
go through things. They don't expect
that I'm human and that I could be

481
00:35:08.239 --> 00:35:12.960
facing something. I give my best
eight hours in front of you. When

482
00:35:12.960 --> 00:35:15.880
I'm in my car thinking I just
can't do this anymore. You know what

483
00:35:15.960 --> 00:35:20.679
am I gonna do here? Because
I know layoffs is coming, I know

484
00:35:20.760 --> 00:35:24.280
we're closing the doors on twelve locations
and we're up. We're in the grab

485
00:35:24.320 --> 00:35:29.639
and i can't say nothing to nobody
because I've been gagged by management, by

486
00:35:29.639 --> 00:35:32.679
administration. So I'm gonna talk to
the leadership. You have somebody that you

487
00:35:32.679 --> 00:35:37.199
could talk to. We're right now. Thank you, Rebel Care Circle Support.

488
00:35:37.239 --> 00:35:40.679
That's what that's all about. That's
what it's all about. Okay,

489
00:35:40.840 --> 00:35:45.119
let me talk to the other group
of people, my my blue collar workers,

490
00:35:45.440 --> 00:35:49.920
my folks who are on the front
line. I know you are saying,

491
00:35:50.000 --> 00:35:53.480
I have nobody I can talk to. Nobody can understand trust me.

492
00:35:53.639 --> 00:36:00.519
We can trust me. There's no
judgment. We want to talk something through.

493
00:36:00.960 --> 00:36:02.840
We may have to get into the
little business just to see where where

494
00:36:02.880 --> 00:36:07.880
that cloud first arrived, so we
could clear that out. Only not to

495
00:36:07.880 --> 00:36:10.559
get into your business, but we
want to clear the foundation. We're want

496
00:36:10.559 --> 00:36:15.239
to clear our show. We want
to clear the air for you just a

497
00:36:15.280 --> 00:36:17.719
little bit, just FreeFly, so
we could plan. You've got to plan,

498
00:36:19.280 --> 00:36:22.800
You've got to have some ideas.
You've got to go after two part

499
00:36:22.840 --> 00:36:28.039
time jobs. You're not going to
find friends and meet friends. You're not

500
00:36:28.079 --> 00:36:30.719
going to try to find your husband
or your wife. You got to pay

501
00:36:30.760 --> 00:36:37.079
your bills or you will be not
in a good position. So that's what

502
00:36:37.159 --> 00:36:38.760
we want to do. We want
to help you. We could talk and

503
00:36:38.880 --> 00:36:43.960
stud We don't judge anybody. I'm
not who am I to judge? Who

504
00:36:44.000 --> 00:36:45.519
am I to judge? But I
gotta get into your business a little bit,

505
00:36:46.159 --> 00:36:49.840
just so I could clear that air
for you, and said, can

506
00:36:49.920 --> 00:36:53.199
you see it? Now? Can
you see what we're saying? Now you

507
00:36:53.280 --> 00:36:58.760
have somebody to talk to your circle. You need to create a new circle,

508
00:36:59.480 --> 00:37:01.559
because if you don't have anybody to
talk to, then you really need

509
00:37:01.599 --> 00:37:07.639
to create a new circle. And
it may be strangers. It may be

510
00:37:07.760 --> 00:37:12.920
strangers. And like Tray said,
you know, get get some color in

511
00:37:12.960 --> 00:37:15.920
that house. Open up those windows, pull those shades back. You're going

512
00:37:15.960 --> 00:37:20.519
into a dark space. You don't
need that. You need sunshine, you

513
00:37:20.599 --> 00:37:22.800
need vibrants. You just need to
walk out on the porch. You did.

514
00:37:22.960 --> 00:37:27.199
Just walk out. Go with the
sunset. Go outside when the sun

515
00:37:27.280 --> 00:37:31.280
is setting and watch the sun set. Get up early in the morning and

516
00:37:31.320 --> 00:37:35.079
you see the sun trying to come
up. Go out where you can see

517
00:37:35.159 --> 00:37:42.239
the sun rise. You're worth it. You're worth it. If nobody else

518
00:37:42.239 --> 00:37:46.400
tells you that you are worth it
because you're still here. You're still here,

519
00:37:46.639 --> 00:37:51.880
you're still waking up, and it's
a new day. It's a new

520
00:37:51.960 --> 00:37:58.159
day. So do what you need
to do. Tommy and I think that

521
00:37:58.519 --> 00:38:06.760
you in trade have truly hit the
bulls. And when it comes to people

522
00:38:06.840 --> 00:38:13.400
needing to talk, start a dialogue
in the family, you know. Start

523
00:38:13.719 --> 00:38:17.000
you and your family sit to the
tax A lot of times people don't sit

524
00:38:17.159 --> 00:38:23.000
to the kitchen table and eat together. That's another good place to start talking

525
00:38:23.000 --> 00:38:30.840
about what's going on, what's happening. You know, what's good for you,

526
00:38:30.960 --> 00:38:35.000
what's not good for you, what
I don't like, what I do,

527
00:38:35.119 --> 00:38:38.760
like the my favorite color. Think
of things like you said, think

528
00:38:38.760 --> 00:38:46.800
of things that are vibrant and and
they give you a smile. You know,

529
00:38:49.119 --> 00:38:52.760
Start getting up in the morning saying
this is gonna be a good day

530
00:38:52.800 --> 00:38:59.559
today and nothing's gonna change it.
Sometimes you have to speak that into your

531
00:38:59.559 --> 00:39:05.639
own existence. Be godless of what
you might know. You gotta deal with

532
00:39:05.800 --> 00:39:09.280
today, who you gotta work with, who you know? Whatever, you

533
00:39:09.519 --> 00:39:16.639
start your day on a positive note. I like when I have different informations

534
00:39:16.719 --> 00:39:22.519
and it come to mind and I
say them, because that's what keeps me

535
00:39:22.639 --> 00:39:29.559
going. It's easy to change your
m This is one thing I do want

536
00:39:29.559 --> 00:39:36.079
to say, and I don't know
where I got it from, but don't

537
00:39:36.199 --> 00:39:46.360
let nobody take your joy. People
would come and take the sparkle or the

538
00:39:46.519 --> 00:39:52.360
light or that shine, that that
blossoming that you have going in you,

539
00:39:53.639 --> 00:39:59.039
and they will come and try to
dampen you. I want you to know

540
00:39:59.480 --> 00:40:04.960
that person and end up having control
of view because they control your mood,

541
00:40:05.639 --> 00:40:13.480
they control your happiness. You don't
need that. Let yourself be yourself.

542
00:40:14.000 --> 00:40:19.000
Don't hurt anybody, don't be mean
to anybody. But think you like the

543
00:40:19.039 --> 00:40:23.480
word, tell you think on good
things that are lovely, you know,

544
00:40:23.840 --> 00:40:30.199
things that are beautiful, things are
happy. I'm not speaking the word itself,

545
00:40:30.519 --> 00:40:37.679
but it's what it implies. That
you speak on those positive good things.

546
00:40:37.719 --> 00:40:45.039
You could be going through hell.
Stop thinking positive. Stop thinking positive,

547
00:40:45.400 --> 00:40:51.960
because that can change your whole trajectory. You be surprised at God will

548
00:40:52.000 --> 00:40:54.320
step in and say, you know
what, if you want, if that's

549
00:40:54.320 --> 00:41:00.320
what you're asking for today, here
it is and you would be pride just

550
00:41:00.519 --> 00:41:07.840
trying. Just speak positive. That's
my thing. A man. I don't

551
00:41:07.880 --> 00:41:12.960
know nothing else to say, but
that's okay, and thank you that because

552
00:41:12.960 --> 00:41:16.119
the world is not going back to
a new normal, another normal or the

553
00:41:16.159 --> 00:41:22.639
old normal. Whatever occurred yesterday is
not even My oldest son and I went

554
00:41:22.760 --> 00:41:28.599
out to Red Lobster to eat.
I asked for a paper cup because I

555
00:41:28.599 --> 00:41:35.119
have to use a cup holder,
and the guy that guy said, he

556
00:41:35.119 --> 00:41:37.599
said, well, we don't have
any lids. I said what, I

557
00:41:37.679 --> 00:41:40.760
said, Wait a minute, you
got sales across the street. Man,

558
00:41:40.840 --> 00:41:44.840
y'all can't go in and get some
lives. He said, I know.

559
00:41:44.920 --> 00:41:46.159
He was laughing. He said,
I know, I know. I said

560
00:41:46.159 --> 00:41:49.519
that, don't wait a minute.
That don't make no sense. I ordered

561
00:41:49.559 --> 00:41:54.280
broccoli with my meal. He told
the table coming towards us, I'm sorry,

562
00:41:54.280 --> 00:41:59.320
we just ran out of broccoli.
So he got to me and then

563
00:41:59.320 --> 00:42:04.360
it just got bley. On Saturday, the truck Barcley came in on Saturday.

564
00:42:04.760 --> 00:42:07.480
I said, oh, this short
that y'all. I said, oh't

565
00:42:07.480 --> 00:42:09.639
mean to laugh about this, but
you know you got neighborhood walk bart also

566
00:42:09.679 --> 00:42:13.960
across the street. You can't go
get some broccoli. You want to go

567
00:42:14.079 --> 00:42:16.639
get the broccoli because I could go
get it. Then the chef came out

568
00:42:16.719 --> 00:42:24.039
and served as our meal yesterday,
the chef and not even know what kind

569
00:42:24.079 --> 00:42:30.800
of uniform she just I cooked it, you know. So I'm sharing this

570
00:42:30.880 --> 00:42:32.719
and I know everybody else was,
Oh the doom in the gloom. No,

571
00:42:32.639 --> 00:42:38.679
no, no, this is awareness, This is alertness. This is

572
00:42:38.800 --> 00:42:45.400
for being focused because you thinking,
I don't know, some of you are

573
00:42:45.400 --> 00:42:49.960
thinking that something's gonna turn around.
And it's turning around. Those of us

574
00:42:50.000 --> 00:42:52.840
who are believers. Oh God has
turned I'll tell her. He just changed

575
00:42:52.880 --> 00:42:55.079
my life in two hours on Sunday, and I'm still I was stealing my

576
00:42:55.119 --> 00:43:00.199
bed and hadn't even brushed my teeth. He changed my life. I had

577
00:43:00.239 --> 00:43:02.199
a new walk today. Tell me
when I got it. I said,

578
00:43:02.760 --> 00:43:09.039
I'm walking differently today. Oh my
God, I said, Holy you,

579
00:43:09.280 --> 00:43:14.639
and favor is fair. So what
we want to you know, it's no

580
00:43:14.800 --> 00:43:16.639
doom and gloom here. We're not
trying to bring you down. You should

581
00:43:16.639 --> 00:43:21.119
all be already to be down.
You down. You're as low as you

582
00:43:21.159 --> 00:43:23.440
can go? Can I say that
you're as low as you can go?

583
00:43:24.480 --> 00:43:29.800
Now? It's time to look up. It's time to rise. It's time

584
00:43:29.840 --> 00:43:32.360
to rise, it's time to not
look at the doom and gloom. It's

585
00:43:32.400 --> 00:43:36.760
time to rise. If God said
where to go, where to go?

586
00:43:37.480 --> 00:43:39.960
If God said go over here and
check this out, I go in there

587
00:43:40.000 --> 00:43:45.440
and check it out. I thought
I was gonna walk out with my backs

588
00:43:45.519 --> 00:43:49.239
my box of chips today because nobody
was at the front at at at the

589
00:43:49.239 --> 00:43:53.679
cash register. I was like,
hello, m is it free day to

590
00:43:53.760 --> 00:43:57.800
day? I know bad Bath to
Beyond got ninety percent off somewhere, but

591
00:43:58.119 --> 00:44:01.039
is it free day here in the
Dollar General? And another customer said,

592
00:44:01.079 --> 00:44:06.119
oh, ma'am, you got She
was talking to the cashier and she was

593
00:44:06.159 --> 00:44:08.360
way back in the back. You
don't even be trying to put on stuff.

594
00:44:08.400 --> 00:44:12.960
People coming through the front door.
And she said, well, I'm

595
00:44:13.000 --> 00:44:15.039
the only one here. I said, well, there ain't nothing. There's

596
00:44:15.039 --> 00:44:16.719
not nothing to do, and I'm
not laughing at you, but that's nothing

597
00:44:16.760 --> 00:44:22.039
new, right, She said,
right, So what do we do?

598
00:44:22.199 --> 00:44:27.119
Now? What do we do?
Now? Let's plan it out. Talk

599
00:44:27.159 --> 00:44:30.760
it out with me, Talk it
out with me, talk it out with

600
00:44:30.800 --> 00:44:35.920
Tommy, talk it out with trade. I have one of my spiritual daughters

601
00:44:36.159 --> 00:44:38.400
was treated and was gone on a
little vacation. She sai, I'm gonna

602
00:44:38.440 --> 00:44:42.480
sit down and talking. It didn't
pan out once she was already calling me

603
00:44:42.480 --> 00:44:44.760
to want to call two o'clock in
the morning. She's got on my way

604
00:44:44.760 --> 00:44:46.159
back. I got, I got, I gotta get a flight. So

605
00:44:46.239 --> 00:44:50.199
we understand. You know, certain
family members you can't talk to. We're

606
00:44:50.239 --> 00:44:54.559
good at least you try. It's
not it's not it's just not a hypothetical.

607
00:44:54.599 --> 00:44:59.440
It's not something you made up.
You tried. So let them go

608
00:44:59.639 --> 00:45:06.719
now because they ain't changing, they
don't think they have a problem. That's

609
00:45:06.719 --> 00:45:08.440
what you got to look at.
This is why we were here. I

610
00:45:09.000 --> 00:45:13.639
know that I could call Tommy,
and old Tommy you'd be you'd be proud

611
00:45:13.639 --> 00:45:15.119
of me. While I was in
Walmart yesterday, the Lord Toby, go

612
00:45:15.119 --> 00:45:17.800
ahead and buy some paper towel.
So I went on and a toil pack

613
00:45:17.840 --> 00:45:21.800
of paper towel. I paid seventeen
dollars. Boy, I almost fell out,

614
00:45:21.800 --> 00:45:24.000
but I realized nobody gonna catch me. So I need to just stay

615
00:45:24.679 --> 00:45:30.119
very, very focused and get out. But God told me get some paper

616
00:45:30.159 --> 00:45:35.639
towel. And I got the paper
towel. And when I went to get

617
00:45:35.679 --> 00:45:37.760
gas, the young lady I gave
the gas. I went and I was

618
00:45:37.800 --> 00:45:42.559
by myself at that point, so
I went and I was I'm near the

619
00:45:42.559 --> 00:45:44.360
door, and the lady, the
young girl, the cash. She said,

620
00:45:44.440 --> 00:45:46.719
ma'am, ma'am. I said,
are you talking to me? Because

621
00:45:46.719 --> 00:45:52.039
she was yelling and I was like, yeah, And I can't turn around

622
00:45:52.079 --> 00:45:54.039
fast because I have no toes.
So you know, I turned around.

623
00:45:54.039 --> 00:45:58.800
I'd be, you know, do
a little tornado dad stay, you know.

624
00:45:59.039 --> 00:46:01.320
So she said, ma'am, you
asked for sixty five dollars worth for

625
00:46:01.360 --> 00:46:06.840
your gass, but you gave me
seventy. I said, God bless you.

626
00:46:06.880 --> 00:46:08.519
She had already opened up the lane. The lane was closed. She

627
00:46:08.559 --> 00:46:12.360
had already opened that up for me. I said, God bless you.

628
00:46:12.719 --> 00:46:14.519
So then she did. I said, you're just trying to get all the

629
00:46:14.519 --> 00:46:17.280
blessings today, aren't you. And
she said, I don't know what I'm

630
00:46:17.320 --> 00:46:22.119
trying to do. But I wasn't
gonna let you walk out of here with

631
00:46:22.159 --> 00:46:23.039
this. I wanted to see what
you want to do. I said,

632
00:46:23.039 --> 00:46:25.679
God bless you. Five dollars back, so I go, and of course

633
00:46:25.719 --> 00:46:29.559
God told me, put sixty five
in the tank. It's three seventy five

634
00:46:29.920 --> 00:46:35.679
a gallon up here in central Florida
at wah Wah, and I put sixty

635
00:46:35.760 --> 00:46:38.360
five in. It came it filled
up at sixty three. So I went

636
00:46:38.440 --> 00:46:43.000
back in and she was already counting
her drawer. She said, pump number

637
00:46:43.039 --> 00:46:45.079
six right. I said, okay, you want all the blessings today?

638
00:46:45.320 --> 00:46:47.960
Anybody else gonna be able to get
the blessings God, I can't bless nobody

639
00:46:49.000 --> 00:46:52.199
else today. And she just smiled, and I don't know what she's going

640
00:46:52.280 --> 00:46:57.800
through, but she pressed through,
just a smile and to take care of

641
00:46:58.039 --> 00:47:02.199
me. And I had to give
a word. I had to make a

642
00:47:02.280 --> 00:47:07.199
smile, and she gave me my
change at her drawer. She's counting her

643
00:47:07.280 --> 00:47:12.000
drawer, she's trying to go hold, but she took care of me.

644
00:47:13.159 --> 00:47:17.119
You know God's gonna bless her.
You know God's gonna bless her. That's

645
00:47:17.159 --> 00:47:22.320
all it takes. That's all it
takes. So if anything, guys,

00:48:38.360 --> 00:48:42.880
Align them back up to me,
