00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:19.479

and we praise you. We pray
that everybody was safe. They had a

21
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:36.360
you God, just for the fellowship
and the fund. Now, this is

22
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:38.439
your show. This is your time
to talk to your people. We get

23
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:43.240
behind the cross respectfully. We love
you, Lord, do what you do

24
00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:46.159
best, and that set your captain's
free. In Jesus' name, we pray,

25
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:53.719
Amen and amen, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah. Well before we get

26
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:55.599
started on our show, and I
have to say, my co hosts don't

27
00:02:55.680 --> 00:03:00.120
know where this is gonna go because
this just came up earlier today. And

28
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:01.919
I was like, okay, God, you know, it's your show,

29
00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:08.639
whatever you want. But he felt
he impressed upon me the need to for

30
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:15.080
people to for pastors, in particular, especially when if you have new folks

31
00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:19.800
in your you us coming to your
services, you need to explain some things

32
00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:23.840
because you can they could come confused
and leave confused. Because I know I

33
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:30.080
did as I grew on my on
my walk and my faith walking. And

34
00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:35.159
I'm talking about there's a statement that
they make let's return to our first love.

35
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:39.680
And I know I've talked about that
before on this show. But she

36
00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:45.039
coming back. Give it a minute. I guess the buffer is taking place,

37
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:51.080
but I wish we did know so
that we could help up with it.

38
00:03:52.400 --> 00:04:00.360
But she'll be old in just a
minute. Who there you. Oh,

39
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:02.960
I've been on y'all to hear me
talking miss miss Gray. You are

40
00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:11.759
having intermittent internet issues at the moment. Okay, Well that's the devil and

41
00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:15.160
he's stupid still and he will not
rain. He will not win tonight.

42
00:04:15.279 --> 00:04:18.319
So let me know. When you
can't hear me, y'all just shake your

43
00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:21.639
head and then you know, I
may y'all may have to take it,

44
00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:26.879
okay, So we would just be
we're always ready in and out of season.

45
00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:29.879
Yeah, I told her, I
say, I wish we knew what

46
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:33.600
it was so that we can't help
with it. But well, if you

47
00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:38.199
could text me in the chat and
let me know or just do this hand

48
00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:42.240
signal that you can't hear me,
I'd appreciate it. Okay, But as

49
00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:46.600
you know, there's some things that
the Lord wanted me to share with pastors.

50
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:50.759
Having new folks come to your church, and there's certain things that you

51
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:56.480
need to be aware of because a
lot of you like to say certain things

52
00:04:56.560 --> 00:05:00.600
and it will leave. It will
cause that new Christian at Baby Christian to

53
00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:08.000
leave just as confused as they came. And one statement is we need to

54
00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:15.000
return back to our first love.
So I know we've talked about this before.

55
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:20.360
I looked around and everybody's amen,
ameny, and I'm like, okay,

56
00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:27.360
what was the first love? Because
my being adopted, my first love

57
00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:32.240
was my parents. I didn't know
about having a relationship with God. We

58
00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:38.759
went to church every Sunday. You
need to explain that a little bit more.

59
00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:42.399
Because I left that day like okay, well, I guess I won't

60
00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:46.680
come back to this church because there
on a totally different level. And I

61
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:53.360
was too ashamed to ask what does
that mean. I've come to realize what

62
00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:58.920
that means, because we're spiritual beings
first before we're released from heaven into our

63
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:02.439
mother's womb. So I'm presuming that
that's what they're talking about. Our first

64
00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:05.680
love is, you know, the
Lord, because we were in heaven before

65
00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:11.720
we took on these humanly bodies,
but you have to explain that now I

66
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:17.360
was an adult, we're older.
But I still walked away confused and felt

67
00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:23.480
like I'm really the odd ball here
because I didn't know who my first My

68
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:26.560
first love was, not who their
first love was. It was my parents.

69
00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:33.079
So that's one thing. Another thing
that held me up really giving my

70
00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:39.120
life to God and really running for
him as I've been running for the last

71
00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:44.600
thirty years was I thought. I
went to Catholic school, so we were

72
00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:47.000
into the beatitudes. Happy are the
more I popyl are they who you know

73
00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:54.240
more? And happy are they who
are meek? For they shall inherit you

74
00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:59.360
know heaven. And I'm like meekness. I thought meekness meant to be quiet.

75
00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:02.920
Who was who could whisper? And
I had to find out? So

76
00:07:03.079 --> 00:07:25.920
I was already counting myself out as
a young who'se me got you? I

77
00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:41.759
got you? As Miss Gray was
talking about meekness, it is difficult to

78
00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:47.439
know when someone is is understanding what
meek actually means. Can you ladies give

79
00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:55.240
us an insight please? Well,
you know, when she said meekness,

80
00:07:55.920 --> 00:08:03.680
I went to pull it up and
see what that dictionary. You know what

81
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:07.480
the dictionary was saying. I was
trying to see if I can find my

82
00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:15.680
Bible dictionary. But in your regular
context, it meant humble person or quiet

83
00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:28.319
in nature as under unpro I mean, I can't say that word right now,

84
00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:35.120
but anyway, it's just saying that
you're a very humble person. And

85
00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:41.799
a lot of times people misconscrewed meekness
with a person that's being passive. Okay,

86
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:46.679
can you all hear me? Yes? We can. Okay, I

87
00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:50.759
just can't hear y'all. Hang on
a minute, and can you see me?

88
00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:56.840
Yes? Yes, okay, can
when of you say something? I

89
00:08:56.879 --> 00:09:00.519
was just explaining I can't hear you. I can't hear you all now,

90
00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:07.200
oh okay, okay, say you
need to get behind. I'm gonna try

91
00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:11.840
one more time. You guys start
talking about diabetes, okay, and I'll

92
00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:18.679
be back that I can talk about
that. You know, diabetes is one

93
00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:28.799
of those diseases that depending on how
you're how you're diagnosed, and if correct

94
00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:35.279
me, if I'm right, Trey, you can get off the man forma

95
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:41.320
or whatever the physician has prescribed,
because sometimes it's a weight control. But

96
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:50.639
they have shown in commercials that weight
control is not the whole thing. A

97
00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:56.480
lot of times it's what you eat
and if your body can process it,

98
00:09:56.679 --> 00:10:03.840
because you can be very slim and
trim and still have the high L d

99
00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:11.519
L and d T d ls and
your high blood sugar and all this.

100
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:18.759
So it's not about size, it's
not about weade. Sometimes it's about what

101
00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:26.120
you intake in your body, and
we need to learn how to be more

102
00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:31.279
mindful of what we eat, food, change and workout. That is so

103
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:37.960
true and sharing that is it is
because a lot of times it's what we

104
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:46.200
intake, and with lack of exercise
or with exercise, that can make a

105
00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:50.559
difference in your blood sugar and how
it operates in your body. And it's

106
00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:56.919
your your uh, your pancreas,
And am I saying it correct? My

107
00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:03.200
pan Chris is the one that gives
off that insulin to your body for it

108
00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:09.159
to react to it and function as
it should as God has produced it.

109
00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:15.200
But a lot of time it's not
so much being overweight or being too skinny.

110
00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:18.960
It's about what we intake and how
we eat, and that makes a

111
00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:24.960
big difference. How about you trade? Yeah, I concur with that,

112
00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:31.519
Tommy, So I think it could
be hereditary and then it's type two diabetes.

113
00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:35.960
I think that when you when you
are diagnosed later and I think,

114
00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:39.759
God, I think type one.
I think you're born with it. I

115
00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:45.080
could be off. But you know, diabetes is that tricky. It's that

116
00:11:45.159 --> 00:11:50.840
tricky disease that is hard. I
mean, it's trying to fluctuate numbers.

117
00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:56.120
And I remember my dad going through
it, you know, with the insulin

118
00:11:56.200 --> 00:11:58.639
and what the give them and what
not to give them, and taste and

119
00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:03.000
the food's invest stables aren't made the
same. You're right, miss Sherring Sharin.

120
00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:09.120
I hope I'm pronouncing your name right. But yeah, the foods and

121
00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:11.639
stuff, so your potatoes, your
rices, and you know, your sweets

122
00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:15.600
and stuff like that, and you
know, we just have to kind of

123
00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:20.879
be mindful of it. And I
know I do because my dad had diabetes

124
00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:24.840
and so but I think he got
that later on in life. It wasn't

125
00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:28.399
he didn't have it all the time. And so trying to regulate that even

126
00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:33.080
with nutrition, it it was a
whole different beast that I didn't understand when

127
00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:37.120
to give the insulin, when not
to give the insulin, if when is

128
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:41.600
too I whin is too low?
And it's based on your age too as

129
00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:46.360
well. You know what they determine
as far as your nutritional your nutritional intake

130
00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:54.240
Veronica, Veronica, Okay, yes, you said it right, Okay,

131
00:12:54.360 --> 00:13:01.759
so thank you. So I was
I saying yes so, but just trying

132
00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:05.679
to manage that even like with the
nutrition classes and you know, taking the

133
00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:09.879
sugar or taking the insulin. And
sometimes it's timy, you know, because

134
00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:15.159
my dad was on it so many
times a day, sometimes it wasn't feasible

135
00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:18.840
and if he had an aide that
comes to the house, they couldn't give

136
00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:22.879
it to him. So because they
weren't they weren't met certified, so the

137
00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:26.440
company didn't allow them to do it. So it was it was very difficult

138
00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:30.919
coat to kind of manage that.
And so type two can be reviewed,

139
00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:35.759
reversed and under control if you mind
what you intake and make some changes.

140
00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:39.759
You're right, thank you, miss
Missy. You're right. It does mindset

141
00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:43.799
exercise. So one of the things
I had started doing a couple of years

142
00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:48.600
back was I had someone a fitness
instructor, to kind of help me navigate

143
00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:52.120
that because I knew if it was
up to me, I wouldn't be able

144
00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:56.080
to do not it'll be difficult for
me to be able to do it.

145
00:13:56.320 --> 00:14:01.240
So the kind of jump started,
you know, and he was doing nutrition

146
00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:05.039
and and you know things meal prep, really coaching us and educating us on

147
00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:11.799
that. And so yeah, I
want to shout out to Derek's Got Fit

148
00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:16.120
camp and so yeah, he's great. He's an awesome trainer. So he's

149
00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:22.720
out there in Anthony, the Rhods
area. And even if you you know,

150
00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:31.519
you're just you're walking, even if
for a walk for two hours,

151
00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:35.440
you know, you just just go
for a walk and and uh, you

152
00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:39.879
know, just make that effort.
You could exercise in your home. You

153
00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:43.480
don't have to go to the gym. You can exercise in your home.

154
00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:46.360
All you need is just to walk
in place. You know. Put it

155
00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:48.879
on demand. You got all the
music channels, Reggae, gospel, R

156
00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:54.200
and B, rock, classical,
whatever, put it on demand and just

157
00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:58.120
and just dance to the music,
move to the music. Even you know,

158
00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:05.639
I can't hear you, Alicia,
but I just want to add a

159
00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:11.679
phrase that slow movement is better than
no movement. And so it's not how

160
00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:15.559
fast you do something, but just
start out slow. You can do chair.

161
00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:20.840
I think she's still stuck. I
think you do chair exercises if your

162
00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:24.480
mobility is difficult. And I get
it because I was at that point.

163
00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:30.360
You know, it was difficult for
movement whended. But just a little bit

164
00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:33.559
at a time, you know,
and just gradual increases. You don't have

165
00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:37.279
to do it all in one day. And the count was thirty minutes each

166
00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:39.879
time you go. So it doesn't
mean you have to be in there hours

167
00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:43.440
at a time because that could be
overwhelming. So just a little bit.

168
00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:50.039
I know. Also where people go
out and buy weights and things like that.

169
00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:56.519
You have your water drug, you
have your milk drug, you have

170
00:15:56.679 --> 00:16:03.679
your can vegetables or whatever. You
can use those to lift them and just

171
00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:07.679
move your body. Like she said, chair exercise. You can sit in

172
00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:12.120
a chair and move your legs.
I exercised your leg My mom, she

173
00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:19.919
got type two diabetes when she turned
fifty and we didn't know what was going

174
00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:25.559
on. Her blood sugar just shot
up. And after what she told me

175
00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:32.679
that she was always borderline. She
but she wasn't doing what it takes to

176
00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:38.840
keep it down. And the state
borderline up below the level that threw her

177
00:16:38.919 --> 00:16:48.000
into somewhat as she was in somewhat
called a coma diabetic a diabetic of coma.

178
00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:52.320
She started, yeah, she,
oh, yeah, we had to

179
00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:57.000
call the ambulance and everything. And
little did we know, because we didn't

180
00:16:57.039 --> 00:17:02.399
know that much about diabetes at the
time. We could have gave her a

181
00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:06.799
little orange juice or something to raise
it up, because what it is,

182
00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:14.680
it had bottomed out. Go ahead, No, I learned something where my

183
00:17:14.759 --> 00:17:18.880
dad was going through it because because
sometimes just sugar could be too low,

184
00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:23.559
and so we experienced that. And
so one of the aides we were very

185
00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:32.160
fortunate, was a geriatric nurse,
you know her well, geriatric aide and

186
00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:34.640
a nurse. She was a nurse
and she was saying a lot of her

187
00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:37.599
patients were, you know, they
were older people. But she said,

188
00:17:38.200 --> 00:17:42.079
with the orange juice, with the
diabetes, sometimes that's a quick high,

189
00:17:42.440 --> 00:17:45.720
you know, it's a quick raise, but then it goes down. But

190
00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:52.880
she was saying, she suggested jelly
jelly because it gradually, you know,

191
00:17:52.640 --> 00:17:56.960
monitored right, brings it so it
doesn't go up and then shoot down.

192
00:17:57.680 --> 00:18:03.400
So when my dad sugar level was
low, we would give him a little

193
00:18:03.480 --> 00:18:07.240
tea spool, she said, a
teaspoon and jelly and it will raise it.

194
00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:11.480
And he won't get that quick drop. And that was something that I

195
00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:15.640
and we didn't know that. So
I just want to put that out.

196
00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:18.200
You know, I'm not a doctor. I'm just going by what the nurse

197
00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:23.119
said for us. But I'm suggesting
that people ask. But they said the

198
00:18:23.119 --> 00:18:26.240
orange juice is okay, but it's
a quick drop. It'll go up for

199
00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:30.400
a little bit, but then but
the jelly will go and it it'll stay

200
00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:37.960
a little while and kind of regulate
it. And you learn how to manipulate

201
00:18:38.079 --> 00:18:45.880
their their diet to where they're comfortable. Because my mom, she used to

202
00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:49.440
every now and then said I just
need a frosty. I just need Windy's

203
00:18:49.519 --> 00:18:52.000
frosty. Well, I said,
Mom, we got to cut out this

204
00:18:52.200 --> 00:18:56.920
here and got couldn't you need to
eat a little more of this? And

205
00:18:56.960 --> 00:19:00.480
then if I was getting it,
it would be doing the day early,

206
00:19:02.079 --> 00:19:04.759
not late at night, because you
don't want that sugar or that sweet to

207
00:19:04.839 --> 00:19:10.160
be just sitting there. And we
used to walk, like you said,

208
00:19:10.519 --> 00:19:15.960
just walk to the end of the
driveway and walk back and make you know,

209
00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:22.400
gradual movements and just motion, you
know, raising our hands. You

210
00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:26.720
know, let everybody say hallelujah.
You know, something to that effect so

211
00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:32.359
that she would raise her hand and
just like you said, moving, just

212
00:19:32.359 --> 00:19:36.880
just moving. And that's what I
learned to do. And we was able

213
00:19:36.920 --> 00:19:41.960
to manage it very well. It
was it wasn't easy, but it became

214
00:19:42.240 --> 00:19:48.920
very manageable. And that's where you
try. But she said, tyme,

215
00:19:48.039 --> 00:19:53.759
sheer, no, she's making sure
somebody's Thereine, but it you know,

216
00:19:53.960 --> 00:20:00.119
but you learned to adapt to the
education that you had taught and how to

217
00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:04.519
help your loved one be maintained.
You know, it sounds harder than it

218
00:20:04.559 --> 00:20:11.039
looks. It's just gradual steps.
You find what works and what don't work.

219
00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:15.880
And that's how we worked it.
So that was my best experience with

220
00:20:15.920 --> 00:20:19.720
it. And you know something,
I think this is why the young people.

221
00:20:21.519 --> 00:20:30.319
We're seeing all these young people being
diagnosed with type two diabetes out of

222
00:20:30.480 --> 00:20:33.359
nowhere, all of a sudden.
It's the young people, these kids,

223
00:20:33.839 --> 00:20:38.599
And I think it's a generational thing. You know, it's through that bloodline,

224
00:20:38.960 --> 00:20:41.680
and nobody's thinking about that. And
these kids, of course, they're

225
00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:48.319
all McDonald out and they're all the
fast foods and drinking the sodas, drinking

226
00:20:48.319 --> 00:20:51.240
the fruit punch. I'll see a
boy just drinking a soda, just drinking

227
00:20:51.279 --> 00:20:56.519
the white behind one another, and
no one's thinking about our medical history.

228
00:20:57.599 --> 00:21:03.079
And noodles because that's that quick yeah, and that ramen noodle thing that's got

229
00:21:03.079 --> 00:21:07.160
plastic on it and everything else,
because we're trying to just pacify, you

230
00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:11.119
know. Okay, you go home
now, latch key kids. I mean

231
00:21:11.160 --> 00:21:14.759
it's gone to a whole different level
when you've got a kid going home or

232
00:21:14.839 --> 00:21:18.400
kids going home and they getting the
fast food stuff or eat some cereal,

233
00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:21.039
or eat this or eat that,
drink the milk, and then we could

234
00:21:21.039 --> 00:21:23.240
get a soda because mama's not looking
this goo a cookie and stuff like that.

235
00:21:23.279 --> 00:21:27.680
And by the time parents are coming
home, they're fixing dinner at seven

236
00:21:27.720 --> 00:21:33.559
and eight o'clock at night. This
is this is this is world health.

237
00:21:34.279 --> 00:21:37.240
We chose diabetes because it was in
this month, it was you know,

238
00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:41.599
around this date. But we need
to really take a look at our health.

239
00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:48.160
I'm telling you, I thank god. I was listening to one on

240
00:21:48.279 --> 00:21:52.880
four point one and they were talking
about this company called Life Imaging and they

241
00:21:52.880 --> 00:21:56.599
were offering free heart scans. Thank
god. You know, they had grant

242
00:21:56.960 --> 00:22:00.599
got grant money for this, and
they're just you go in and then you

243
00:22:00.599 --> 00:22:03.799
could go and have a choice of
having a pelvic from a neck down to

244
00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:11.720
your pelvic area. And I had
that scan done and thank god, Yeah,

245
00:22:11.319 --> 00:22:15.720
it showed a couple of things that
no one knew, you know,

246
00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:18.039
and I'm like, oh my god. Then you go running trying to get

247
00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:21.119
the supplements and trying to get I'm
not going back to my doctor because my

248
00:22:21.200 --> 00:22:26.119
doctor will then order a thousand more
tests and you know, no, I'm

249
00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:29.319
not. Jesus, you got to
help me on this, so, you

250
00:22:29.359 --> 00:22:32.480
know, because I don't want to
go back in the hospital, I don't

251
00:22:32.480 --> 00:22:36.920
want to take any more meticicrying to
So I heard her say supplements. So,

252
00:22:37.839 --> 00:22:41.480
you know, one of the things
I had tried something I know someone

253
00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:45.319
that is a vegetarian, and I
tried for five days. It was five

254
00:22:45.359 --> 00:22:52.440
days before my found family reunion,
and I tried of Monday through Friday without

255
00:22:52.480 --> 00:22:57.559
any meat, and so I was
doing protein based foods and even for that

256
00:22:57.680 --> 00:23:03.079
week it was a different. So
U I said, I was going to

257
00:23:03.200 --> 00:23:04.799
go back to that and just try
it a little bit, you know,

258
00:23:06.039 --> 00:23:08.480
for a little longer. But I
actually didn't meet it because there was some

259
00:23:08.559 --> 00:23:15.640
foods that were I won't say imitation, but it was I think it has

260
00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:18.559
the lentils or the beans, and
it's made it to taste like meat.

261
00:23:19.200 --> 00:23:22.559
And I actually had like it's called
it. It's like it's called a meatless

262
00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:30.160
like meatless meatballs and you know,
the chicken less, impossible chicken whatever it

263
00:23:30.240 --> 00:23:33.559
is, and it wasn't it wasn't
a bad flavor. I was. I

264
00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:38.799
was totally shocked that it was was
not bad at all. And so getting

265
00:23:38.880 --> 00:23:41.799
to that and so I was able
to, you know, drop a little

266
00:23:41.799 --> 00:23:47.359
bit doing something like that, and
so I'm thinking about doing it again.

267
00:23:47.440 --> 00:23:52.599
It's costly, the foods are costly, but you know, you weigh it.

268
00:23:52.799 --> 00:23:56.599
Health is coffee, medical stuff is
coffee, Medicines are costly, so

269
00:23:57.160 --> 00:24:00.000
you know, just kind of throwing
some things out for you know, like

270
00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:07.039
that. So and I've even tried
like them possible wappert at Burger King,

271
00:24:07.440 --> 00:24:11.359
which and it's actually was pretty good, you know, it actually is pretty

272
00:24:11.359 --> 00:24:15.279
good. And so I don't eat
as much beef as I used to as

273
00:24:15.319 --> 00:24:18.200
well, so more chicken. I
try to do that, but you know,

274
00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:26.359
just a little bit of time.
That's good because I've tried the impossible

275
00:24:26.400 --> 00:24:33.599
wapper and I was happily surprised.
And it's supposed to be plant based,

276
00:24:34.680 --> 00:24:38.640
not you know, I don't know
what else they got in there, but

277
00:24:38.680 --> 00:24:45.039
it got something there that is a
good substance for your meat. And it

278
00:24:45.279 --> 00:24:51.279
tastes pretty decent, but like you
said, it's very costly. But my

279
00:24:51.400 --> 00:24:56.480
favorite is beans. I eat beans
till the sun go down all day long,

280
00:24:56.839 --> 00:25:02.799
and I know that's plenty of protein. And I've learned how to cook

281
00:25:02.839 --> 00:25:07.440
it without using meat products like your
turkey or your neck bones or whatever.

282
00:25:07.839 --> 00:25:12.559
I just use a vegetable broth and
season it and they turn out. My

283
00:25:12.599 --> 00:25:18.599
granddaughter loved them this week, you
know, And it was something that I've

284
00:25:18.640 --> 00:25:26.400
gotten more customed to fixing without the
pork or the beef or the turkey that

285
00:25:26.440 --> 00:25:30.880
we you know, put in for
the flavor. And it can be done.

286
00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:34.759
And that's what your seasonings and your
herbs come in where it really helped

287
00:25:36.240 --> 00:25:41.160
your food taste good. So that's
the key to mine. And another ingredient

288
00:25:41.279 --> 00:25:45.160
some on the vegetarian was telling me
it was liquid smoke, so it gives

289
00:25:45.200 --> 00:25:52.119
you that same flavor as the meat. And so I even tried seaweed.

290
00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:55.880
Go figure. It was not bad. It really wasn't bad. So,

291
00:25:55.960 --> 00:26:00.759
like I said, I it really
is not bad. It looks like try

292
00:26:00.799 --> 00:26:03.519
it, try it, it's not
bad. I'm gonna leave it alone.

293
00:26:06.039 --> 00:26:10.440
Well, I just tried rice cauliflower. Can you guys hear me? Rice

294
00:26:10.519 --> 00:26:14.880
cauliflower. I love it. I
don't need to have no more rice ever.

295
00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:18.480
Again. I'm good. I got
that. So we're talking about changing

296
00:26:18.880 --> 00:26:29.279
habits and we know it to get
rid of one. Amen. Amen.

297
00:26:29.559 --> 00:26:33.279
So okay, you guys are gonna
have to take it. Go ahead and

298
00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:37.000
take this you. And and just
to tell you about the califlower, my

299
00:26:37.079 --> 00:26:44.920
daughter makes what we call a califlower
mac. It is so and I do

300
00:26:45.039 --> 00:26:49.839
not care for cauliflower at all,
but when she fixed that cauliflower mac,

301
00:26:51.920 --> 00:26:56.279
oh, my goodness, it is
so good. But our key to that

302
00:26:56.319 --> 00:27:04.160
is telling you use fresh cauliflower,
not the frozen, because the water into

303
00:27:04.319 --> 00:27:08.759
the frozen. But when you use
fresh, it is so good. You

304
00:27:08.799 --> 00:27:17.440
could it just like you would your
macaroni and cheese, but instead you just

305
00:27:17.559 --> 00:27:23.400
use qualifier instead of the noodles.
Yes, and then you know you have

306
00:27:23.559 --> 00:27:30.279
noodles that they make that are not
wheat products. They have the non wheat

307
00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:36.200
noodles. And what I do for
spaghetti. Now we like to buy the

308
00:27:36.279 --> 00:27:45.160
squashed spaghetti and make that spaghetti.
It is so good squashed spaghetti, and

309
00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:51.359
it's called squashed spaghetti when you go
into the vegetable spot. So that we've

310
00:27:51.480 --> 00:27:56.640
learned, and I have it,
but I don't use it as much as

311
00:27:56.720 --> 00:28:06.200
white sugar. We faded away.
We use more honey or the granulated brown

312
00:28:06.319 --> 00:28:18.839
sugar. But white bread, no
white nice. I don't know if I

313
00:28:18.839 --> 00:28:22.839
could be heard now, I will
be very limited on what I say.

314
00:28:26.039 --> 00:28:29.599
But the main thing we really want
to encourage you, no matter how old

315
00:28:29.680 --> 00:28:33.759
you are, and if especially if
you have children, you've got to teach

316
00:28:33.799 --> 00:28:37.920
them better habits now, because now
that we know that in the stores they're

317
00:28:37.920 --> 00:28:42.440
going, we don't even know what
we're getting with the meats anymore. I

318
00:28:42.519 --> 00:28:45.920
believe I got a hold of something
the other day. I said, no,

319
00:28:45.039 --> 00:28:48.000
this is not a chicken bone.
This has got to be an ostrich

320
00:28:48.079 --> 00:28:52.160
bone. I looked at it,
I said, no, this will taste

321
00:28:52.240 --> 00:28:53.759
right, and I couldn't finish it
because I said, no, this is

322
00:28:53.799 --> 00:28:57.640
a different type of bird. And
so we don't know what we're getting.

323
00:28:57.640 --> 00:29:02.440
You've got to be very careful because
all these illnesses and ailments and some of

324
00:29:02.480 --> 00:29:06.799
this stuff coming back from the past. We got to just be prayerful,

325
00:29:06.880 --> 00:29:10.599
and you've got to be particular,
and you've got to care about your health.

326
00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:15.319
You have to care about your health, and you have to be proactive

327
00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:18.319
about it and not be scary,
not trying to run to the doctor every

328
00:29:18.359 --> 00:29:22.440
time too. You have got to
be and take control of what you could

329
00:29:22.440 --> 00:29:26.240
take control of. And we have
to do this for the saving of our

330
00:29:26.279 --> 00:29:30.640
generations and for our culture. You
need to know your health. That's the

331
00:29:30.759 --> 00:29:34.759
way I met my biological aunt.
I was adopted at birth, but all

332
00:29:34.759 --> 00:29:38.200
of a sudden I had My doctor
said I had a sister. I left

333
00:29:38.240 --> 00:29:42.559
Ovary. So I called my biological
mother and said, where did this come

334
00:29:42.599 --> 00:29:47.599
from? And she said, well, my older sister's a historian. You

335
00:29:47.640 --> 00:29:51.519
call her in Sarasota. And I'm
like okay, I said, Hi,

336
00:29:52.119 --> 00:29:56.119
it's Lisa Geralvin told me to give
you a call. And my aunts like,

337
00:29:56.160 --> 00:30:07.119
oh hey, and I told her
about this. That is so true.

338
00:30:07.799 --> 00:30:14.839
How you find out your history of
your family and what your ailments can

339
00:30:14.960 --> 00:30:19.200
derive from or where who had it
and who did it? And that's so

340
00:30:19.319 --> 00:30:25.039
important. And you know people fuss
about why do they ask me this,

341
00:30:25.519 --> 00:30:29.279
What do my mom or my aunt
or my grandmother has to do with it?

342
00:30:29.720 --> 00:30:33.920
They have a lot to do with
it. It's good to know your

343
00:30:33.039 --> 00:30:40.039
history of your family. I didn't
know anybody that had diabetes. But when

344
00:30:40.559 --> 00:30:44.799
my brother and I started talking,
we used to our uncle. We call

345
00:30:44.839 --> 00:30:52.279
it uncle pie. I forgot if
they were uncle fee. He had amputated

346
00:30:52.559 --> 00:30:57.920
He had an amputated finger and one
of his legs and it came from diabetes.

347
00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:03.200
But like you say, but back
in the day, they said,

348
00:31:03.400 --> 00:31:07.480
oh he had sugar. Oh yeah, he had sugar, and were like,

349
00:31:07.720 --> 00:31:11.720
what is sugar? You know,
I gotta find out sugar was the

350
00:31:11.799 --> 00:31:18.799
diabetes. So you put them together. But your family history is so important.

351
00:31:19.599 --> 00:31:26.240
You find out so much. And
this pastor, I know his daughter

352
00:31:26.359 --> 00:31:33.079
has not look at me, what
is it sickle cell? And they found

353
00:31:33.119 --> 00:31:40.079
out from a family member when he
got in touch with his biological father about

354
00:31:40.119 --> 00:31:45.960
the sickle cell and what can be
done. It's amazing finding out who and

355
00:31:45.039 --> 00:31:49.559
what is going on in your family. That's why it's good to talk to

356
00:31:49.640 --> 00:31:56.039
your family and not alienate your family. And I'm just saying, it's just

357
00:31:56.160 --> 00:32:02.480
so much information and your history carry
so much information that, like Mss Gray

358
00:32:02.480 --> 00:32:07.200
said, we have to reprocess the
thought of what our health is. Like,

359
00:32:07.279 --> 00:32:13.240
how we do you know we eat? I mean that ostri that she

360
00:32:13.400 --> 00:32:16.599
thought she was eating probably was a
chicken. But the steeroos in and gave

361
00:32:16.720 --> 00:32:22.720
that that bird making taste like ostria. You know, So we don't.

362
00:32:22.440 --> 00:32:30.079
We don't know. And what was
very disturbing to me, because you know,

363
00:32:30.480 --> 00:32:36.119
if I'm not mistaken, is it
it's Purdue or Tyson. I think

364
00:32:36.200 --> 00:32:44.119
they supposed to have chicken that they
don't feed certain chemicals or whatever. Well,

365
00:32:44.160 --> 00:32:50.599
Tyson is closing some of their their
places. I'm like, oh my

366
00:32:50.720 --> 00:32:55.079
god, it wasn't pur Due,
it was Tyson, so that the closing

367
00:32:55.160 --> 00:33:00.720
some of their plants. So okay, Purdue ca for deuce all the chicken

368
00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:07.720
for everybody. But you know,
it's just sad of what you know.

369
00:33:07.000 --> 00:33:10.599
And I laugh and I think about
it every time they say chicken. Because

370
00:33:12.319 --> 00:33:17.160
my aunt, she's ninety five,
she was telling us that every night they

371
00:33:17.240 --> 00:33:22.839
have dinner and they have chicken,
they would go outside and kill the chicken

372
00:33:22.880 --> 00:33:28.920
and whatever, and the children could
only get one piece of chicken. She

373
00:33:29.000 --> 00:33:30.799
says, she ain't said, all
them chickens in the yard, and they

374
00:33:30.839 --> 00:33:35.680
could only have one piece of chicken. She said, So when my grandparents

375
00:33:35.799 --> 00:33:39.079
live, my great grandparents laugh,
they're gonna kill the chicken. They eat

376
00:33:39.079 --> 00:33:45.000
the whole chicken and pray that.
The baby brother didn't say, well,

377
00:33:45.039 --> 00:33:47.799
I ain't gonna and he said every
time, I ain't gonna tell Mom and

378
00:33:47.880 --> 00:33:53.640
Dad we killed that chicken, because
but they grew, you know, they

379
00:33:53.759 --> 00:33:59.519
grew the vegetables, they grew,
you know, they feeding the chicken.

380
00:33:59.559 --> 00:34:04.440
They know what that chi they know
what that hog is eating, even that

381
00:34:04.599 --> 00:34:12.360
hog. So today, you know, we cry our chit liss and homos

382
00:34:12.400 --> 00:34:16.519
and our ports, you know,
pork chops and all this. But it's

383
00:34:16.639 --> 00:34:22.239
not the same as it used to
be. You know, I would love

384
00:34:22.280 --> 00:34:25.639
to live on the farm, and
we would have to. We need to

385
00:34:25.639 --> 00:34:31.880
be cognizant of that. And I
did learn from my biological aunt the medical

386
00:34:32.159 --> 00:34:37.000
history on that side of the family. But I said, I'm gonna bind

387
00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:39.519
it up because I'm not having surgery. And thank god, I never had

388
00:34:39.519 --> 00:34:44.119
to have the surgery. Years later. Never knew I would have a daughter.

389
00:34:44.639 --> 00:34:47.559
And I'm binding it up even while
I'm carrying you know, my twins,

390
00:34:49.039 --> 00:34:52.159
not knowing the sex of twin B, which turned out to be my

391
00:34:52.280 --> 00:34:57.800
daughter, and now she has had
some fibroid stuff happening and all this,

392
00:34:58.440 --> 00:35:00.800
so we're I'm teaching her to buy
it up because we got to break that

393
00:35:00.920 --> 00:35:06.119
it's a generational curse. Because then
I later found out on the of the

394
00:35:06.159 --> 00:35:09.199
biological father's side, they e suffered
from the same thing, all the women,

395
00:35:09.840 --> 00:35:17.079
all of the women except me.
I broke it on my side for

396
00:35:17.199 --> 00:35:21.440
my family, and I prayed that
I broke it for my daughter, and

397
00:35:21.480 --> 00:35:24.239
even my sons have daughters. So
you have to understand. You you got

398
00:35:24.239 --> 00:35:29.760
to get that medical history down and
understand it, not accept it, know

399
00:35:29.920 --> 00:35:34.519
how to pray. And that's why
we're here to set it straight. Don't

400
00:35:34.559 --> 00:35:37.320
just go around and accept anything that
people are throwing at you and saying about

401
00:35:37.320 --> 00:35:43.159
you and saying to you. Don't
do that. You could take a stance,

402
00:35:43.239 --> 00:35:46.119
and you could change your home,
you could change the environment no matter

403
00:35:46.159 --> 00:35:50.559
where you go. And early I
was just saying that, you know,

404
00:35:50.760 --> 00:35:53.599
you've got new people coming and you
got discipleship classes happening at your church.

405
00:35:53.599 --> 00:35:57.519
I don't even know if they still
do that anymore, but be careful,

406
00:35:57.559 --> 00:36:04.480
be composite of what you're saying,
because not everybody understands the jargon, not

407
00:36:04.599 --> 00:36:10.039
everybody understands the metaphors. Not everybody
understand they're just trying to seek help and

408
00:36:10.159 --> 00:36:17.880
peace. Today we've had over seventy
five, almost seventy eight actors, entertainers

409
00:36:17.920 --> 00:36:22.199
that we know whose name is a
household name that have passed away as of

410
00:36:22.239 --> 00:36:27.559
today, and it's going to get
to probably by one hundred by the end

411
00:36:27.559 --> 00:36:34.280
of the year. You got to
be mindful of how you're living. It

412
00:36:34.320 --> 00:36:39.079
goes back to that how are you
living, what habits are you passing on?

413
00:36:39.199 --> 00:36:44.639
Generationally, I talked about We've talked
about that earlier. You know,

414
00:36:44.719 --> 00:36:49.719
my parents was Sears and Firestone and
Western Auto. You know, charge cards,

415
00:36:49.760 --> 00:36:52.159
that's what you had to have,
and they almost took me out.

416
00:36:52.159 --> 00:36:57.639
I had to file bankruptcy for my
family to keep our family home. So

417
00:36:58.639 --> 00:37:02.760
overall, we're trying to talking about
health. Tonight, we targeted diabetes because

418
00:37:04.159 --> 00:37:08.000
every week I'm hearing in the news, seeing on Facebook news, hearing getting

419
00:37:08.000 --> 00:37:14.599
a magazine. Diabetes is it's a
solid coil because unless you have the doctor

420
00:37:14.760 --> 00:37:19.599
actively doing blood work and a certain
type of blood work. You don't know

421
00:37:19.639 --> 00:37:25.679
you have it. You don't know
that you have it. So we're asking

422
00:37:25.719 --> 00:37:30.320
and encouraging you all to be cognizant
of that and your health. And how

423
00:37:30.360 --> 00:37:34.360
are your children? What are they
eating? Are they eating leafy greens compared

424
00:37:34.400 --> 00:37:37.320
to the hamburger and the fast food
during the week? Are you balancing that

425
00:37:37.480 --> 00:37:45.840
out? Are they drinking water?
Water that's been boiled, not water that

426
00:37:45.920 --> 00:37:50.280
you get out your tap. Not
here in Orlando. Don't do that.

427
00:37:50.599 --> 00:37:54.320
Don't use the tap water unless you
boil it. You know, it's just

428
00:37:54.519 --> 00:37:59.199
little things. It's just little things. So guys, you want to add

429
00:37:59.239 --> 00:38:05.039
anything, maybe an early night tonight, go ahead. You know. With

430
00:38:05.320 --> 00:38:09.039
babies, they tell parents don't give
them water. They get it in their

431
00:38:09.079 --> 00:38:16.559
formula. And I grew up your
baby. If your baby is not drinking

432
00:38:16.800 --> 00:38:24.559
water, they could get constipated very
easily with the foods that you're giving them.

433
00:38:24.719 --> 00:38:30.559
I'm not talking about your milk,
but just your just when they start

434
00:38:30.599 --> 00:38:35.519
eating. They need to be immune
to drinking water. It makes a big

435
00:38:35.920 --> 00:38:43.960
difference, a big difference. My
children literally did never have that constipation problem,

436
00:38:44.360 --> 00:38:50.880
nor did they have the cold problem. Because water is helping your body

437
00:38:50.960 --> 00:38:58.920
lubricates and reproduce. So it's so
important to have water. So when you

438
00:38:59.000 --> 00:39:04.719
say thank you for minding on the
best way to take control of our health

439
00:39:05.159 --> 00:39:09.280
empowerment, well, yeah, we
got them because if we don't, who

440
00:39:09.559 --> 00:39:15.360
is right? And we focus that
society wants us to focus on so much

441
00:39:15.480 --> 00:39:19.280
other stuff. I ran into a
girl today, young lady today, worked

442
00:39:19.280 --> 00:39:22.000
at one of the fast food places, and she goes, hey, mom,

443
00:39:22.039 --> 00:39:23.039
how are you doing it? And
I'm like, oh my goodness,

444
00:39:23.079 --> 00:39:27.559
I don't recognize you from behind the
takeout, you know, the drive through.

445
00:39:28.159 --> 00:39:32.880
They let her go because they're adding
more young kids within their culture so

446
00:39:32.880 --> 00:39:37.280
they could and paying them seventeen dollars
an hour and not trying to pay her.

447
00:39:37.760 --> 00:39:44.079
She's in her thirties, working for
them for six years, and she's

448
00:39:44.199 --> 00:39:46.480
there at McDonald's trying to read her
you know, and feed her son and

449
00:39:46.480 --> 00:39:51.000
stuff. And I'm like, are
you serious? I would now, I

450
00:39:51.039 --> 00:39:54.440
would boycott that business. They won't
get another dollar out of me. You

451
00:39:54.559 --> 00:39:58.639
got a person who dedicated And she
goes, yeah, and I can't.

452
00:39:58.719 --> 00:40:00.559
I'm trying to get work, but
I I can't give out. They asking

453
00:40:00.639 --> 00:40:04.000
for references, I said, And
the Lord told me, you know what

454
00:40:04.079 --> 00:40:06.480
to do. I had to hurt
my business card. I said, you

455
00:40:06.519 --> 00:40:07.679
called me. Every time you need
a reference, I'll get you one.

456
00:40:08.559 --> 00:40:13.719
Because every time I came through that
she even came from out and brought my

457
00:40:13.840 --> 00:40:16.239
drinks to my truck. I was
trying to get them all and I was

458
00:40:16.280 --> 00:40:19.639
like, okay, I got people
behind me. They didn't care. She

459
00:40:19.679 --> 00:40:22.760
came out with my drinks in her
hand. She didn't have to do that.

460
00:40:22.760 --> 00:40:24.519
They could have said, would you
pull over, you could come through

461
00:40:24.519 --> 00:40:29.679
the front. No, because they
recognized my face. I'm a loyal customer.

462
00:40:30.159 --> 00:40:32.719
But you're gonna treat her like that. I said, no, you

463
00:40:32.760 --> 00:40:37.519
called, just text me whenever you
need a reference. I got you.

464
00:40:37.639 --> 00:40:40.599
I got you. Don't worry about
it. She goes, oh my god,

465
00:40:42.559 --> 00:40:44.599
oh my god, thank you,
because she goes, I want to

466
00:40:44.639 --> 00:40:51.079
work. I gotta work. I
gotta feed my family. So we know

467
00:40:51.159 --> 00:40:53.000
you're going through stuff. We know
the world is going through stuff, and

468
00:40:53.079 --> 00:40:58.360
unfortunately it's not going to ease up. You've got to work your way through

469
00:40:58.360 --> 00:41:01.119
it. You've got to find out
out what's good for your home, what

470
00:41:01.199 --> 00:41:05.840
works for you, what no longer
works for you. The world is not

471
00:41:05.960 --> 00:41:10.320
the same anymore, and it's not
going back to any normancy that we recognize.

472
00:41:10.480 --> 00:41:15.039
So every home out there, you
need to have your own new normal.

473
00:41:19.079 --> 00:41:22.239
You have to do it. Grow
some vegetables. Go get the pots,

474
00:41:22.480 --> 00:41:25.320
the orange and green pots from home
depot, put you some dirt in

475
00:41:25.360 --> 00:41:28.800
it, put your seat in there, and let's start growing stuff in the

476
00:41:28.800 --> 00:41:31.639
backyard. The kids will love it. Make it that that's their chore.

477
00:41:32.599 --> 00:41:36.280
We got to change things. I
know people are chasing his bag, but

478
00:41:36.760 --> 00:41:38.719
I'm telling you you're trying to go
here, and you're trying to do that.

479
00:41:38.960 --> 00:41:44.000
Certain things are not going to work
anymore because the people that were in

480
00:41:44.119 --> 00:41:50.159
place are no longer in place.
Prices, inflation is not going backwards,

481
00:41:50.159 --> 00:41:52.320
it's not going down. And everybody's
announcing, oh, you know those of

482
00:41:52.400 --> 00:41:57.280
them, social Security and Disability.
You get that five percent eight percent raise.

483
00:41:57.360 --> 00:42:00.679
Yeah, but Medicare takes over four
five percent of that. So all

484
00:42:00.719 --> 00:42:06.719
you'll do is you'll see it in
writing. Oh okay, but Medicare takes

485
00:42:06.760 --> 00:42:09.199
that. Insurances. Make sure you're
enrolling. We did a big thing last

486
00:42:09.199 --> 00:42:14.039
month on enrollment. Get on the
best one you can so that you can

487
00:42:14.119 --> 00:42:16.280
at least have basics. The children
need to go to the dentists. We

488
00:42:16.320 --> 00:42:20.719
don't need kids' teeth just falling out
in public. We don't need that.

489
00:42:20.840 --> 00:42:23.719
Take them to the dentists. They
don't need cavities. They're gonna eat that

490
00:42:23.760 --> 00:42:28.119
candy whether you give it to them
or not. They'll do it behind your

491
00:42:28.119 --> 00:42:31.159
back, especially if they know that
you don't approve of it, So you

492
00:42:31.159 --> 00:42:34.440
don't need When they go to the
dentists, they're like, oh my God,

493
00:42:35.000 --> 00:42:37.840
have to buy full of cavities.
You know you gotta do. And

494
00:42:37.320 --> 00:42:45.000
more importantly, pray strategically and specifically. Jesus, when the disciples ask Lord,

495
00:42:45.000 --> 00:42:47.000
how do we pray, he said, pray our Father, which are

496
00:42:47.119 --> 00:42:54.320
in heaven hollow would be thy name? Pray strategically and specifically. Lord,

497
00:42:54.519 --> 00:42:59.159
my two jobs, these checks are
not making ends me. What would you

498
00:42:59.239 --> 00:43:00.840
have me to do? And most
of the time you don't get blessed because

499
00:43:00.840 --> 00:43:05.039
you don't know how. You don't
want to accept the way he's gonna bless

500
00:43:05.079 --> 00:43:07.480
you. You gotta be honest about
that. You're like, well, Lord,

501
00:43:07.480 --> 00:43:09.519
I know I'm gonna get me a
big house, and we're gonna get

502
00:43:09.559 --> 00:43:14.199
these cars in every eighteen months,
we're gonna get a new and God's like,

503
00:43:14.280 --> 00:43:15.440
no, that's not the way I'm
gonna bless you. I'm gonna bless

504
00:43:15.440 --> 00:43:20.920
you with a good job that gives
you raises every year. That's gonna give

505
00:43:20.960 --> 00:43:23.719
you a four to one k opportunity
so you could save your money and put

506
00:43:23.760 --> 00:43:28.800
the money away. And the boss
sometimes we just don't like the way he's

507
00:43:28.840 --> 00:43:32.000
gonna give it to us. But
you ask for it anyway. So when

508
00:43:32.039 --> 00:43:37.400
you ask, when you pray,
you leave it at that altar and you

509
00:43:37.599 --> 00:43:38.599
just think, God, heyever,
you're gonna get me out of this.

510
00:43:38.719 --> 00:43:43.440
And God has gotten me out of
some things over the years and put me

511
00:43:43.480 --> 00:43:47.920
in a position where I'm in now. I know what we know. This

512
00:43:49.000 --> 00:43:51.599
is what this show is about.
We tell you what we've lived, we've

513
00:43:51.639 --> 00:43:53.960
lived through. We are honest,
we are transparent. We're not talking about

514
00:43:54.000 --> 00:43:57.519
what the last conference. We ain't
talking about what we read in a book.

515
00:43:59.400 --> 00:44:01.639
We're talking about how we've lived and
how God has blessed us and he

516
00:44:01.679 --> 00:44:06.480
will bless you as well. Ladies, we only have five more minutes.

517
00:44:06.519 --> 00:44:12.840
If you all want to say anything, go right ahead. I mean,

518
00:44:13.559 --> 00:44:19.960
all right, I'll go. I
mean, I think this is great conversation.

519
00:44:20.039 --> 00:44:22.199
Lisa did you say what you had
to say? Did you get everything

520
00:44:22.199 --> 00:44:24.920
out of earth? Okay, so
I want to make sure, but you

521
00:44:24.920 --> 00:44:29.519
know, just talking about no health
and you know, like I said,

522
00:44:29.559 --> 00:44:32.920
I know I have some deficits,
but I'm really working strategically on those things

523
00:44:32.960 --> 00:44:37.960
and so on. I have been
for the last few months because life is

524
00:44:37.039 --> 00:44:40.480
life, and you know, life
life's I know that's not a word but

525
00:44:40.679 --> 00:44:45.920
a phrase. With life, life's
you know, things happen and unexpectedly until

526
00:44:45.960 --> 00:44:50.079
you have to be prepared one way, shape or another. Said, I

527
00:44:50.119 --> 00:44:52.159
am blessed listening to the show.
Y'all made a difference in my life.

528
00:44:52.159 --> 00:44:55.880
I appreciate y'all doing the show.
Oh, we appreciate you watching. Thank

529
00:44:55.920 --> 00:45:00.559
you so much, Missy. You
know, and this keeps us doing what

530
00:45:00.639 --> 00:45:02.880
we do. I mean, this
is great. This, This keeps the

531
00:45:04.079 --> 00:45:08.360
show going. And it's like viewers
like you all that keep us motivated and

532
00:45:08.440 --> 00:45:13.440
knowing. Okay, we got to
keep this train going because people are watching.

533
00:45:13.519 --> 00:45:15.679
And I think when we first started
out, we weren't sure what type

534
00:45:15.719 --> 00:45:20.119
of audience or who would be watching. And I think we even had in

535
00:45:20.159 --> 00:45:23.760
our discussion if one person watches or
they come back and watch that's successful because

536
00:45:23.800 --> 00:45:29.000
we might be touching somebody and I
think even look in the comments, somebody

537
00:45:29.079 --> 00:45:32.199
was making sure somebody else was on, and so that's great. I mean,

538
00:45:32.679 --> 00:45:37.840
this is awesome. I'm just feeling
blessed, feeling over joy especially with

539
00:45:37.480 --> 00:45:40.880
you know, co hosting with two
great ladies. I'm telling you this,

540
00:45:42.880 --> 00:45:45.920
Let's keep this ball rolling, man, I'm ready for twenty twenty four.

541
00:45:47.679 --> 00:45:52.400
Well, I can't announce. We
have signed up for the year twenty twenty

542
00:45:52.400 --> 00:45:57.960
four and year twenty twenty five,
so we would be on for another year,

543
00:45:58.480 --> 00:46:09.800
Hollyween more excitement to come and I
look forward to it. I you

544
00:46:09.880 --> 00:46:15.920
know when and when in the times
I've missed, I'm just sad and upset,

545
00:46:15.000 --> 00:46:27.239
and but viewers like Missy miss Tray, whether it's Trey and and miss

546
00:46:27.320 --> 00:46:31.679
Sherri Sharene all the time. I
think Inger was one that somebody else was

547
00:46:31.719 --> 00:46:38.880
on, but I didn't see Country
tonight but another one. But it's okay.

548
00:46:39.119 --> 00:46:45.159
You know, if we can just
make a change in your life in

549
00:46:45.320 --> 00:46:50.639
just one way, we have done
what we've been called to do. And

550
00:46:51.119 --> 00:46:57.440
we don't look for no massive today
and yesterday, but just day by day,

551
00:46:58.000 --> 00:47:01.960
we're only doing giving you one of
our personal views. Is it not

552
00:47:02.199 --> 00:47:07.480
using somebody else? These other likeness, Gray say, these are personal walks

553
00:47:07.519 --> 00:47:10.840
that we've had. And I can
I just shout out to rebel like I

554
00:47:10.840 --> 00:47:15.639
said, I just yes, So
I can't thank them for enough. She

555
00:47:15.760 --> 00:47:21.960
keeps us together, our engineer,
producer behind the scenes. Hallelujah, Amen

556
00:47:22.039 --> 00:47:23.320
and amen. And this is what
we do. God told us to do

557
00:47:23.360 --> 00:47:28.800
this. God chooses the topics.
We're always open to here. If there's

558
00:47:28.800 --> 00:47:31.000
something you would like to hear us
talk about and research and things like that,

559
00:47:31.360 --> 00:47:34.760

is what we do. We're community

00:47:34.800 --> 00:47:38.119

field workers, we're harvest workers. We

561
00:47:38.239 --> 00:47:43.679

December is Friday. December is Friday. It's over, it's done,

569
00:48:10.119 --> 00:48:14.000
and whatever you need to do.
Go get your tree, go put everything

570
00:48:14.079 --> 00:48:16.320
up, all the Christmas bulbs,
just decorate the whole house, put the

00:48:16.400 --> 00:48:20.480
lights out, go right it.
Because people already did it before Thanksgiving,

572
00:48:20.639 --> 00:48:22.639
so go right ahead and do that. Don't feel embarrassed. Go get your

573
00:48:22.679 --> 00:48:29.800
wrapping paper and everything else, and
just be happy. Find your happy.

That's your homework till next week.
Find your happy. Find your happy and

00:48:39.760 --> 00:48:44.000
you. That's your happy. Stay
with it. You're stuck with it,
