  Speaker 1: got a radio show today. I want to just share
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: something with you along your way to wherever it is
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: you're trying to get to. You know, everybody has a
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: different definition for success, and I'm not. I'm not here
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: to tell you what your should be. I mean, please
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: pursue whatever you think success He is aim as high
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: as you can though, that's for sure. My father used
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: to say all the time. I'm sure you all have
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: heard it in different variations, but he used to always say,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: aim for the moon. Just in case you miss, you'll
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: still be amongst the stars. Just say that to me
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: all the time. So that always was in me to
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: aim high. Now he wasn't saying aim with the intent
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: to miss. He was just saying aim In case you miss,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: you're still amongst the stars. If you aim for the moon.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: But if you just aim for that first flow window
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: and you miss it, you know, usually run into some
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: type of wall and nothing happens. You slither down. You know.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: In my book, act like a lady, think like a man.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: I told her people that men love three ways. They profess,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: they provide, they protect, and that's the core essence of
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: a man's love. Well, there's some other peas in life too.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: The number one thing you have to understand about trying
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: to be successful, and I guess I call this the
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: four peas. I may come up with five along the way.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm just talking as is given to me.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna summer start by saying, as these are
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: the four peas of success that you have to get
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: ready for. Number one, it's pressure. A lot of it
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: is applied by the circumstance of what you're trying to
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: go for and what you're trying to do, but a
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: lot of it also is self imposed pressure. It's what
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: you put on yourself to make it. It's a sense
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: of urgency, it's a sense of necessity. But pressure is
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: the first thing I want you to be ready for.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: And pressure comes in a lot of different forms, but
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: it's going to be pressured. As an old saying that
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: pressure buster pipe. See, that's why most people turn around,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: because of the pressure of trying to be successful. I
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: want you to get it in your mind that it
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: is going to be a pressure rized situation on your
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: rise to the top. Pressure, but understand that that is
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: what it is. Is not going to change. That's it.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Prepare yourself, get ready for there to be pressure. The
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: second thing I want you to understand is when you
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: receive this pressure, you have to persist. You got to
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: stay at it. You got to develop a dog getness
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: has a There's a song who says, why must I
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: feel like that? Why must I chase the cat? Nothing
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: but the dog in me? That's a funny line in
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: that song, because really I was thinking about it one day.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: I was humming it and and it, and it occurred
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: to me, said, why must I feel like that? Why
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: must I chase the cat? Nothing but the dog get me?
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: And you know, now you could take it into literal
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: says that the cat chases the dog because it's innately
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: is in his spirit. That cats and dogs are a
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: lot of time enemies. Now people have pets in him,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: proving that if you show love on both sides, they
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: can exist. And that happens too, but naturally innately, when
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: your cat goes by a dog and your dog don't
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: recognize him, that some barking going on. I'm talking about
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: just walking through the neighborhood or something. So, but the
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: reason that this dog is so persistent towards this cat
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: is just cause it's in him. It's innately in him.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: And what I'm saying to you, just using that as
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: an analogy, is that you got to be you got
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: to be persistent in that. You got to develop some
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: dog in you now because pressure takes some fighting back.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: See if you don't fight back against pressure, pressure buster pipes,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: So what you think it will do to you? Pressure
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: crack walls, pressure calls, explosions. So if you don't fight
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: back to hold it in, you understand pressure does most
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: people in the simple thing called pressure, the weight of
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: what it feels like to want to be successful every
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: single day, over and over and over and over and over.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: It's just too much pressure. People crack. You got to persist.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: You have to persist. You can the thought of giving
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: up can come, but you got to get it out.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: You gotta persist. The next thing I want you to
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: think about is another something that I've been thinking about
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: for years and learn for years. It's called perseverance. To
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: persist means to insist. Its keyword in insist and persistence
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: insists you must. You must insist that this is going
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: to happen. Now, the persist I'm assuming means it's a proaction.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: It's some type of proaction that you go toward. Is
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: it to make it? You know, persist you gotta be persistent.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: You gotta be constantly at insisting that it happens. You
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: gotta be constantly at it. But the next thing I
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: want you to remember is perseverance. Perseverance is important. Perseverance
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: means that when you've done your best, when you've persisted,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: when you're fighting back against the pressure. Perseverance simply means
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: I'm going to hang in here when if a crack
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: come into pipe, I'm gonna hang in there. If the
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: pipe bust, I'm gonna keep going. If I gotta put duct,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: take mud, whatever I got to put on this thing. Man,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna use perseverance. I'm going to stay with it
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: no matter what. So we're looking at the three things again.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: You got to understand that it's gonna be pressure that
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: you're gonna have to persist. Keyword and persistence insist. You
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: have to insist that no matter what the pressure is,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna stay with it. But then perseverance. If it
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: goes wrong, Man, you got to get in there and
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: keep fighting. But then Lord Him Mercy. Nothing helps you
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: handle the three peas better than the fourth pea. You
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: got to pray. You got to use prayer. You gotta
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: talk to God. You gotta use faith. You gotta have
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: some conferences with him late at night, early in the morning,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: in the middle of the afternoon, when you own the train,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: when you're driving. You got to talk to God. Man,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: you gotta get yourself some help along the way. Nothing
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: is bigger than prayer. There is nothing bigger than prayer.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Prayer will help you overcome the pressure. Prayer will help
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: you stay persistent, and Lord Him Mercy, prayer will help
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: you persevere. Them is the faux pas that just came
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: to me today. God gave that to me. I'm passing
• 9:56

  Speaker 1: lightening and I love all that. I would get on
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: that that Rember that ride ahead of the fair. It

• 16:27
  Speaker 1: twist around. I don't know what you call it, Oh yeah, yeah,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: the salt shaker or something like that. Man, I would

• 16:41
  Speaker 1: It's real simple, that damn Ferris Wheel. Man. I just
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: don't like when they let somebody shake at the bottom
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: and I'm at the top. I don't like that. I don't.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: I don't. That's why I don't like it because when

• 16:56
  Speaker 1: seat is shaking. Yeah, and that's scary rocket Yeah, sitting there. Yeah,
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: that's scary. That's scary. Well i'll tell you what I did.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: Remember we went to Mexico and we zip line. Oh yeah,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: that was fun. Fun, that was fun. That scared me
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: because Junior and Jay I thought you could just do
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: it one time and be through, but you have to
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: do the course back back. It's a course, so we
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: had to do it like twelve times. You have to
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: go to each station and your zip lining over a
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Mexican jungle. And I remember this little girl was behind me.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: She was like maybe eight, and she was searless. I
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: remember that girl. She was so sick of me. Jay.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: She was there with her parents. She kept saying, good lady, stupid.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah girl. She was like every lady. Every time you're scared,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: you just want to say to the kid, look, I'm
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: paying for everything you ask for free. Shut up. But
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: ziplining was really cool once you got the hang of it,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: you know, put put your head forward in your hands. Yeah,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: don't don't look down. Yeah, especially if you're afraid of heights. Yeah,
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: but I'm good. I don't have to ever do it
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: to get him. Yeah, but it was fun at the time.

• 33:03
  Speaker 1: twenty first time yesterday. Okay, anyway, this is an trip
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: with the news. Good morning. After weeks negotiation, the Justice
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: Department has finally agreed to provide the Congress with the
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: key evidence collected in the Mulla Report, evidence that could
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: shed light on possible obstruction of justice and abuse of
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: power by President Trump. Not just what the Justice Department
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: has agreed to provide is not clear. However, the House
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: Judiciary Committee, which asked for the extra material, is indicating
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: that the Justice Department moves a real breakthrough. So it
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: also looks as if the House will back away from
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: threats to hold US Attorney William Barr, who use Attorney
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: General rather William Barr, in contempt of Congress, even though
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: the House of schedule will proceed later today with a
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: vote to empower the Judiciary Committee to take Bar to
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: court to fully enforce its subpoena, even though again that
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: may not longer be met necessary, but they're probably gonna
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: take a vote anyway. The stock market bounced back yesterday
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: after President Trump didn't fall through on his threat to
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: impose escalating tariffs on all Mexican goods. But the presidentel
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: CNBC hey make no mistake, it was because of his threat.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: He says that our neighbor to the south agreed to
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: do more to curb the flow of migrats with Central America.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: If we didn't have tariffs, we wouldn't have made a
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: deal with Mexico. We got everything we wanted, and we're
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: going to be a great partner to Mexico now because
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: now they respect us. US business leaders, even some Republicans
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: had criticized the idea of saying it would have had
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: a negative effect on both our economies. But now Trump
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: is also threatening to slap tariffs on China unless he
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: can get a deal that he wants out of them.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: Former Red Sox slugger David Ortiz recovering after being shot
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: in a bar in his native Dominican Republic. He's now

• 53:26
  Speaker 1: Atlanta over the weekend at the Alma G. Davis Foundation
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: tenth anniversary celebration. Why was everyone coming up to me
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: asking me about the letter we did last week where
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: the sister in law was doing her brother in law
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: and two kids. They were like, come on, Shirley, come
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: on now, come on, did you guys? Yeah? Did you
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: guys make that? I know so many people stop me
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: about that one particular letter. Well, here's another one. Okay,
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: here's another one. You're ready, let's go buckle up and
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: hold on tight. We got it for you. Here it
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: is subject there's turmoil in my congregation. Dear Stephen, Shirley,
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: Since you help everyone, I hope you can help me too.
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: I have been the senior pastor of my congregation for
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: thirteen years, and lately I've been having a problem with
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: an associate minister. He is forty one years old and
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: he is on his fourth marriage. Now. His current marriage
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: is in shambles because he has left his wife and
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: moved in with one of the older sisters of the church.
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: He told his wife that he was leaving her, but
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: none of us in the church had any idea it
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: would be Sister Joanne that he moved in with. Joanne
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: is fifty six and single, and she knows this man
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: is married, and she knows his wife, but they are
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: not close. When things hit the fan a month ago,
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: I offered them both counseling and advised them that what
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: they were doing was wrong. I told sister that she
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: is shacking up with a married man, and I told
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: him it was wrong to just leave his wife like
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: that and to cause her this kind of embarrassment. It
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: has caused such a big stir at the church that
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: I had to tell him that he could no longer
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: preach there. Sister joe Anne still comes to church like
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: nothing has happened, and this Sunday she stopped me after
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: church and told me she is very happy and they
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: have plans to get married as soon as he gets
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: out of his fourth marriage. This man can't keep a
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: job and he doesn't have anything to add to Joe
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: Anne's life. I hope and pray if they don't think
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: I'm going to marry them. I don't know how to
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: handle this type of turmoil. So I have turned to you, Steve.
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: What do I do? I want to put them both
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: out of the church. Well, that's not a bad suggestion,
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: Senior pastor, that is not a bad suggestion. You are
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: the senior pastor, which means you're the leader of the church.
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: You're the shepherd. You know, supposedly what you say goes.
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: You have a staff of ministers. You guys, can you
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: have one of those meetings and you can talk about
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: this situation because if it's causing turmoil and division in
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: your church, that's not a good thing. Okay. You have
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: a direct line to the Lord. You were called by God,
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: so you need to pray seriously about this situation and
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: ask him how you should handle it. If you don't
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: put them out of the church, you can certainly sit
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: him down and not let him preach anymore as associate minister.
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: And does he know the Bible? Is he reading it
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: at all? There's stuff in there about what he's doing.
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: It's in the Bible, okay, and he's in the church
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: and preaching to people. This is his fourth wife, No,
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: his fourth marriage, and he's working on number five now.
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: If he reads the Bible. I think one of the
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: scriptures says a man who doesn't work shouldn't eat. You say,
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: this man can't keep a job. What is he going
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: to offer, Sister Joanne? What is he offered his wife,
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: his current wife and all these other women. Yeah, you
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: need to sit him down. This is on you, senior pastor.
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: It's your church, okay. Like I said, you are the
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: leader of this congregation. You have to get your members
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: in line. Okay. Your responsibility part of it as a
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: pastor is to teach the Bible, okay, And this stuff
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: is in there. So you need to do some more studying,
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: I would suggest, so you can hear from the Lord
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: and see what he'll tell you about handling this situation.
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: Put them out, set them down all of those things,
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: pray for them, do not. I'm with you. I don't
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: think you should marry them at all. I hope they
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: don't even ask you. If they don't understand what they're
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: doing wrong, there's a problem. I mean, they're breaking ten commandments.
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's so much sin going on here. You know,
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: this is crazy, and you got to sit them down
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: and tell them right from wrong. Don't they know right
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: from wrong? Because they certainly don't act like they do.
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: And it's on you. Yeah, if you want to put
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: them both out of the church, you probably should because
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: they're not listening to you. They're not and it's not
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: coming from you. You're the vessel from the Lord. All right,
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: Jack put him out, the church. Put him out. The
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: church cut him out. The church division and turmoil. And
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: pastor's job is to pastor. His job it is to pastor.
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: Pastor means to look over, governing everybody in there. The
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: one phrase that I really remember in the Bible that
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: really stands out for me is judge, not let she
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: be judged. Jesus hung out with thieves, liars, murderers, backsliders.
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about the disciples. He hung out with them. People.
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: Who are you to judge a man that's happy with
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: an older Who are you you, crazy man? Who are
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: you to judge a man that has found some happiness
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: and I'm an older woman. Judge not pasta said the
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: man who has been married ten thousand. Open the book
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: and pasta, that's what you need to do, and passed.
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: Open the book and passed. Jay, there is such thing
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: as right and wrong, and you know that open. I
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: don't think he's I don't think he's doing that though.
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: I didn't think he's opening the book. I really don't.
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: That's what you need to do, past because they wouldn't
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: look and passed. They would either at least know better
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: if he was doing said the man who's ignorant. All right, listen,
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: we'll be back. We'll come back and hear from the
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: young one on the team, junior. We'll hear from Tommy
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: as well. That's coming up at twenty three after the hour,
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: Part two of Today's Strawberry Letter. There's turmoil in my congregation.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: Right after this, you're listening to this Stave Harvey Morning Show.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: All right, guys, let's recap today's Strawberry Letter. This is
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: a very interesting one subject. There's turmoil in my congregation.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: This letter was written by the senior pastor. He's been
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: the senior pastor for thirteen years. Lately, he's having a
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: problem with his associate associate minister. Associate minister forty one
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: years old, has been married four times, getting ready to
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: leave his fourth wife and hook up with one of
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: the older sisters in the church. He has left his wife.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: He has moved in with this older young lady. Like
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: I said, the associate pastor forty one years old, he's
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: moving in with Sister Joanne, who's fifty six and single.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: Sister Joanne knows his wife. They are not close. Senior
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: pastor in the meantime has told them both, advise them
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: that what they're doing is wrong. Shacking up with a man,
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: she told Sister Joanne is not what she should be doing.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: This man can't keep a steady job, he has no
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: plans to help you during the marriage, and what are
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: you marrying him for? And Sister joe Anne, she's saying,
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: it's just clueless. She's just told her that she's so
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: happy and she can't wait till he gets out of
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: his fourth marriage so he can marry her. And pretty
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: much that's where we are. And the senior pastor says
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: he or she doesn't know how to handle this, and
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: she wants to put both of them out of the church.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: I said, yeah, go ahead and put both of them
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: out of the church, or at least sit both of
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: them down. And Jay said, judge not and now and
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: the senior pastor is a leader and the shepherd of
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: the church. So I mean, you know, instruction comes from
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: God and he passes out on to the congregation. They're
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: not listening to him. I'm with Jim past but he
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: is an opportunity to grow our congregation. See he's missing
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: in an opportunity. I know it's term more, but there's
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: opportunity internal. See what you need to open that book
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: and pass and your sermons should be about them too,
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: because everybody in that note And so I came up
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: with some sermon, titler, you can speak on uh huh
• 1:02:16

  Speaker 1: fifty six seconds left in the game and that gave
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: them one o six, one h three lead. And I'm

• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: markets because we had the game and you five, you
• 1:16:49

• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: for him. Coming up, our last break of the day
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: and some closing remarks that Steve left us with. You're listening,
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: all right, Steve, here we go, last break of the day. Um,
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: some parting words for with your closing remarks? Please all right,
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 1: I guess without thinking about this much, I want to
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 1: talk to you about life, how fragile it is, and
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: I want to have something to say about you know what,
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: I'm really not gonna get into the whole situation because,
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: like I just be honest with you, there are times,
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: there are actually times when I'm actually sick and tired
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: of talking about it. I am exhausted with the fact
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: that the color of my skin has to come into
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 1: play in my everyday life, my just day to day.
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I really can't think of any days
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: realistically why I do not have to consider the color
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: of my skin, the shape of my nose and my
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: lips wherever I go. The situation I'm in, I very
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 1: rarely can think of a day that I'm not made
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: aware of it or I have to factor it in.
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: If you're not a person of color or minority, you
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 1: may not even be able to understand what I'm saying.
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 1: But I'll just give you an example. When riding in
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: the car and being stopped by the police, as me
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: and my buddy Greg Calhoun was doing last year after
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 1: golf out in coming from Montgomery to Alabama and his
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: car and we were speeding and we were supposed to
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: get pulled over. We were speeding, But what I had
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: to do was immediately become aware that I am a
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: black man. Skip your money in your fame. I don't
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: have time to throw that out at you. I got
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: to get and start preparing myself. As the officer approaches
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: the car, I must understand without him getting my ID.
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 1: I'm a black man, just a black man. So I
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: put my hands up on the dashboard and the officer
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: came to the passenger side and said, why is your
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 1: hands on the dashboard? I said, because I don't want
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 1: nothing to happen to me. The officer said, while that's
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 1: acting mighty suspicious. I said, no, it's not. I'm just
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 1: being safe. Officer. If you don't mind, she said, well,
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 1: I'll need to see ID. I said, my ID happens
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: to be in a pouch in the back seat. I
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: would have to reach. She said, we'll go ahead, and
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 1: I was tense because I didn't want to be mistaken.
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 1: When I'm on an elevator and I get on, I
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 1: am conscious of the fact that me and my guy
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 1: are the only one on the elevator. When I go
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: to golf courses and I oftentimes see that there are
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: hardly any African Americans out here. It's just me and
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 1: one or maybe the fours something that I'm playing with,
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 1: and I'm just always aware of it. If you're not that,
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: you don't have to be aware of it. But it's
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 1: the awareness that becomes draining at times. It's the fact
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 1: that you got to be the only one on your floor,
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 1: the only one on the elevator, the only one in
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 1: the cubicle, the only one in your department, the only
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 1: one at the meeting, the only one in the cafeteria,
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 1: the only one on the trip, the only one, the
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 1: only one at the hotel, at the front desk, the
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: only one, the only one, the only one's kids that's
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 1: in the recital, the only one's kids that's at the
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: that's on the soccer team, the only one, the only one,
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 1: the only one, the only one. Gets to be exhausting
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: at times. This will not change and to more people
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 1: who are not of color can try to empathize or
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 1: sympathize or generalize or something with us to say, you
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 1: know what, I don't know how that feels, but I
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: bet that ain't right because, as I've often said many times,
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 1: slavery didn't end just because black people got sick of
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 1: being slaves. We were sick of it, the thought of it.
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 1: When they put us on them boats. Nobody wanted to
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 1: ride the boat over here and come be no slaves.
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: Nobody was under the belly of them slave ships, going, man,
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 1: this is nice. This's gonna be a new opportunity nobody.
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 1: So I want to wake up and just see what
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 1: it feels like to just go about my day without
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 1: having to calculate my race, without to have to calculate
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 1: the color of my skin, to watch other people get
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 1: paid a certain amount of money, and then you don't
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 1: get paid a certain amount of money with the same
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: type of ratings, and then you got to incorporate something
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: else again. Now, I've been very blessed with the life
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 1: that I have, and I would not trade mind for anything,
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 1: with all this sick and tide of being sick and tied. Also,
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 1: what makes this also tolerable for me is my love
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 1: of who I am, my love of our power to overcome,
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: our power to maintain in the struggle, our power to
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 1: still be something where we were brought here to simply
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 1: be nothing. So for us to have accomplished what we've accomplished,
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 1: I'm grateful and awful proud of that. So I guess
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: my pride just keeps me going on. I hope that
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: God will continue to let whatever light that I can
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 1: let shine through my existence to inspire someone else to
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 1: overcome when it looked like you ain't gonna make it,
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 1: because that's exactly what I've done, by the grace of God.
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 1: I have overcome against all the odds, even when they
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 1: said I wasn't gonna make it. And even though I'm
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 1: tired of being tired, I wouldn't trade places and be
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 1: nothing else, know how, because in this struggle has taught
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 1: me so many items of strength. I've learned so much
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 1: about myself. My soul is strong, My spirit is strong.
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 1: I thank God for that soul. Y'all have a great
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 1: weekend for all. Steve Harvey Contests No purchase necessary, void
