Father God, we're gonna get behind the cross. We're gonna

let you do what you do best, and you do

00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:44.759
everything the best. But one of those little things is
40
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:48.719
what to set your captives free. It's time for people
41
00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:53.159

55
00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:51.240
Well, anyway, my weekend was really interesting. And here there's Mickey. Amen.
56
00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:53.960
Now one of the folks from Tennessee. They've got their
57
00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:56.680
church or whatever. But after they do their Bible call,
58
00:03:56.759 --> 00:03:59.280
a Bible study or prayer call, she says, she's already
59
00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:03.879
text me she'll be on anyway, Thank you Jesus. Yeah,
60
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:09.360
this weekend was the notable Hurricane Expoe. Oh my god,
61
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:11.800
and I'm so glad I got that. It started to
62
00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:15.000
rain a little bit and everything. Uh, this was not
63
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:18.120
the best school. Look the best location, which was a
64
00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:20.959
high school to have it in, because the parking lot
65
00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:22.480
was around the way.
66
00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:24.959
And the auditorium was way around that way.
67
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:27.519
So that I think they need to take a look
68
00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:29.480
at that, uh and just be a little bit more
69
00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:33.600
mindful of the crowd and in case it rained because.
70
00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:36.519
There was no overhead that we could walk under. However,
71
00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:42.000
folks showed up okay, and uh we got there around eleven.
72
00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:44.160
Ish, which is but leven, yeah, a little aft eleven.
73
00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:46.839
So I was happy that was my timing, and because
74
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:47.439
it ended.
75
00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:49.800
At one, so I wanted to make to make sure
76
00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:52.240
the biggest crowd, biggest part of the crowd moved got
77
00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:53.560
the way and got with them.
78
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:56.920
People were coming out in bags and a colleague of
79
00:04:56.920 --> 00:04:59.560
mine that I just met at a training last month.
80
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:02.720
His she he comes out her back, look at you,
81
00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:03.439
look at you.
82
00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:06.079
And we've seen each other like three times, you know,
83
00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:08.519
in the last month and a half since the training.
84
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:09.319
So that's fun.
85
00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:12.160
But she loved it, and I hope everybody puts it
86
00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:14.360
on their calendar. All you have to do is sign
87
00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:18.000
up with your local you know folks, your county government
88
00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:20.839
people or I'm not sign up, but you know, join
89
00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:24.759
their web page, join their social media page. It's right there.
90
00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:27.519
That's where I get this stuff from. I did tell
91
00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:29.319
a few folks I would give them a shout out.
92
00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:32.480
There was an agency there called the Community Legal Services,
93
00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:36.360
and they help you with anything critical legal needs. After
94
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:41.240
a disaster in particular, so you know, they do FEMA
95
00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:43.079
assistance and appeals.
96
00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:44.439
Insurance claim for damages.
97
00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:48.519
See, excuse me, somebody got to have attention here, Hang
98
00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:53.319
on just a minute here, Okay, all right? Anyway, and
99
00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:56.560
consumer scams and protection and all that. They're called Community
100
00:05:56.680 --> 00:05:59.720
Legal Services. They were very friendly and very nice. There's
101
00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:03.279
another company that's called Endeavor, and they talk about if
102
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:05.560
you're impacted by the hurricane, or if you were impacted
103
00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:09.199
by Hurricane Milton, they're here to help for recovery plans,
104
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:13.519
to referrals to local programs, renovation construction needs, and applying
105
00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:16.839
for funding for other resources. Now there was another source there,
106
00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:20.439
another table there, and I'm not gonna call out anybody
107
00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:22.639
else because I can't remember what their names were. But
108
00:06:22.759 --> 00:06:24.879
I said, oh, so I see that you pick up
109
00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:27.600
the rubble, you know, and stuff after hurricane stuff.
110
00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:29.639
And they're like yeah, And I said, isn't it great
111
00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:32.199
that FEMA just got funded And then looking at each
112
00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:35.839
other like what, and I'm like, yeah, they got several
113
00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:39.319
millions of dollars for Florida. You would be contacted them
114
00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:42.560
for reimbursement. And I said, I think I better go,
115
00:06:43.399 --> 00:06:45.319
I better walk off because they didn't know.
116
00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:48.720
So I you know when in our case management days
117
00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:52.519
trade I know Trey will agree with me. We knew where, where, when,
118
00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:56.360
what resources were available at all times. And we didn't
119
00:06:56.399 --> 00:07:03.120
have the savvy AI or or chat GVT or we
120
00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:08.439
didn't even have Facebook. We didn't have Instagram, we didn't
121
00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:12.279
have any of that. Nobody had a social media platform.
122
00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:12.279
In our day.
123
00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:16.279
We did things by word of mouth, truthy word of mouth,
124
00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:19.199
and if anybody had a flyer, we got flyers together.
125
00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:21.519
We co shared flyers. Did you know about this? Did
126
00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:23.680
you hear about that? We didn't have three one one,
127
00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:26.759
We didn't have two one one, which is our directory services.
128
00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:29.720
We didn't have that back in the day. I know
129
00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:32.680
we're aging ourselves. We're dinosaurs and hey, and we're proud
130
00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:35.639
of it. But we've come a long way. And I
131
00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:39.279
talked with a uh one agency that I do. We
132
00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:42.120
have one had one in my home hometown, and I
133
00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:45.439
talked about how their presidence was very real and how
134
00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:47.160
I was so excited when I moved up here and
135
00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:49.639
I saw that there was such an agency up here.
136
00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:52.040
I went on a drive by to see where they were,
137
00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:55.120
and I said, y'all located back around the corner.
138
00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:58.519
In the back back there. I can't believe what our
139
00:07:58.720 --> 00:07:59.800
sitting right on the street.
140
00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:01.000
You could see it.
141
00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:03.959
And I'm like, what where am I? And this is
142
00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:04.839
here on Orlando.
143
00:08:04.959 --> 00:08:09.120
So unfortunately, Orlando is not as big of a splash
144
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:11.560
unless you're a tourist and you're coming here to go
145
00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:14.519
to the theme parks which are in Kasimi next door,
146
00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:17.199
or you're going to head the bush Gardens which is
147
00:08:17.240 --> 00:08:18.079
in Tampa.
148
00:08:19.560 --> 00:08:21.600
You're coming, you know, for the theme parks and stuff.
149
00:08:21.600 --> 00:08:25.120
And unless your job transferred you here, I would say,
150
00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:27.839
don't come to Orlando. It's not all that is jacked
151
00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:30.319
up to be. It's really not that tight with money.
152
00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:35.240
A lot of agencies don't exist here because government's county
153
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:37.639
needs in city need to get that money.
154
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:38.759
And have access to those funds.
155
00:08:38.840 --> 00:08:42.000
So I was happy. We walked out with a five.
156
00:08:42.120 --> 00:08:44.240
I had about three bags, four bags up. My son
157
00:08:44.279 --> 00:08:46.440
Donald went with me, he had about two or three bags.
158
00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:50.840
And we did get a free Ham radio and all
159
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:54.039
that good stuff. And I was happy about that because
160
00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:55.080
you do get you know.
161
00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:57.559
You get free stuff. And everything was free and.
162
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:01.559
I got pins and cups and stressed and some people
163
00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:05.320
I got a little Greedy accidentally was at the fire
164
00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:08.679
fire take fire department table and there was something. I said, Oh,
165
00:09:08.679 --> 00:09:10.360
I think I'm gonna take two in this. He couldn't
166
00:09:10.360 --> 00:09:11.679
even look at me. He said, if you don't mind,
167
00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:14.600
can you just take one? And I said, oh my god,
168
00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:15.639
I forgot where I was.
169
00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:18.519
Please forgive me. Yes, I would just take one. I said, don,
170
00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:20.279
can you get one? And Don got one? So I
171
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:22.919
got two. But nevertheless, you know, he couldn't even look
172
00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:26.000
at me, and so I'm sure he just, oh my god, figure,
173
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:28.399
here's these people, these handicapped people, all they trying to do.
174
00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:30.080
So I know I had a conversation.
175
00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:32.519
He had a conversation back to the station about me,
176
00:09:32.679 --> 00:09:34.120
and so I'm embarrassed about that.
177
00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:36.159
I didn't mean any harm because but he had a
178
00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:39.080
whole table full. So it's okay because you only got
179
00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:39.879
an hour and a half.
180
00:09:40.039 --> 00:09:43.240
Yes, they make flood the doors and you may. And
181
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:44.919
I turned to Don, I said, you know, most of
182
00:09:44.960 --> 00:09:46.879
the vendors don't want to take this stuff back to
183
00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:51.120
the to their office, but there's always one and I
184
00:09:51.159 --> 00:09:51.879
had to get that.
185
00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:56.120
Fund of visits. Yeah, so I walked off. I had
186
00:09:56.120 --> 00:09:59.440
to just drop that mic right there. Like, okay, you
187
00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:01.639
got the load all that stuff up and take it back.
188
00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:05.399
So but anyway, it was fun. Yes, go ahead, Trey,
189
00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:06.360
no whenever.
190
00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:08.519
But I was looking at I know you were when
191
00:10:08.559 --> 00:10:12.639
you were talking about Orlando and how it's kind of
192
00:10:12.639 --> 00:10:14.440
small where nothing is really there.
193
00:10:14.799 --> 00:10:16.080
But I want to kind of put it.
194
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:19.200
Out too, cause you know, where I worked was a
195
00:10:19.240 --> 00:10:21.159
small or it was a small town. It was a
196
00:10:21.200 --> 00:10:28.159
small small communities in Palm Beach County, so and resources.
197
00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:31.519
They had some resources, but there of course could have
198
00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:34.000
been been more. But I just want to put it
199
00:10:34.039 --> 00:10:36.360
out there that if if you're in a community or
200
00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:40.240
area where there's not many resources, I would suggest finding
201
00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:44.840
out what resources there are, and then what resources service
202
00:10:44.919 --> 00:10:47.919
your area. And then this is just putting it out
203
00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:52.720
to to you know, Florida is no more for hurricanes,
204
00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:54.919
but if you're in an area that's no more for
205
00:10:55.080 --> 00:11:00.919
maybe fire disaster or tornadoes or snow, you know, find
206
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:06.240
out where these these community fairs are to get people
207
00:11:06.279 --> 00:11:10.240
prepared for these natural disasters. And if there's none, I'm
208
00:11:10.279 --> 00:11:13.399
just gonna put it out there, create that, create that
209
00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:17.519
they're organizations that are looking for people to invite them
210
00:11:17.600 --> 00:11:21.200
to places. So you can look at your local law enforcement.
211
00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:25.080
You can look at your your your your council, your
212
00:11:25.399 --> 00:11:29.080
municipalities to see what they offer. Invite them three one
213
00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:31.960
one now two one one or whatever is out there.
214
00:11:32.120 --> 00:11:36.039
Invite them to your organizations law enforcement. Invite them because
215
00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:40.840
sometimes they have resources, especially when it's time to evacuate people.
216
00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:42.799
So you might want you can.
217
00:11:42.759 --> 00:11:46.080
Put together something that does not have to be that big.
218
00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:48.200
And what I would suggest to do, that's where you
219
00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:52.120
get your your grassroots programs, your your faith based.
220
00:11:51.879 --> 00:11:54.720
Organizations together and to start it.
221
00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:57.639
And then that way people will will be able to
222
00:11:57.679 --> 00:12:00.519
become because sometimes we're more reactive than active.
223
00:12:00.919 --> 00:12:03.480
And if you can put together says hey, I'm I'm
224
00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:04.799
I'm Mary Jane, and I.
225
00:12:04.759 --> 00:12:08.840
Want to put together this and and then yo, you're welcome, Charles,
226
00:12:08.879 --> 00:12:11.320
thank you, good advice, thank you. But just to be
227
00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:14.639
able to create the things because we when times are trying,
228
00:12:14.679 --> 00:12:16.960
you can't think. But then if you have time to
229
00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:19.799
think over it, especially we're right at the beginning of
230
00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:23.039
hurricane season down I know in the in the areas on.
231
00:12:23.159 --> 00:12:24.200
East coast or south.
232
00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:27.480
So now putting in place, but always knowing what you
233
00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:30.720
need to have and start for future So these are
234
00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:33.000
some things that I'm just putting the churches faith like
235
00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:36.639
I said, faith based, utilize your areas you can partner
236
00:12:36.799 --> 00:12:39.440
with with organizations, and I'm pretty sure they'll be glad
237
00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:39.919
to do it.
238
00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:43.320
And that's why and the reason why we when Trey
239
00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:46.679
and I we talk about, you know, putting things together,
240
00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:49.840
you doing things. We did that, so we're coming from
241
00:12:49.879 --> 00:12:52.600
that and I can still do that. I just spoke
242
00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:57.519
with someone, a fellow chaplain, and we're coming together. And
243
00:12:57.559 --> 00:12:59.399
it's only I guess two of us here in the state,
