Y'all know what time of y'all don't know y'all bat have all suit looking back to back down, giving them move like the milking buck bus things and its cubs, y'all to me, true good Steve har listening to movie together for Stum, Please, I don't join joining me. You gotta turning, You gotta turn turn turn, got to turn them out to turn the water the water go. Come come on your back that I show will good morning everybody. You're listening to the votes, Come on dig me now one and only. Uh, Steve Harvey got a radio show, Yeah you do. Steve Harvey got a radio show. But like I said the other day, you got something too, though, don't you. God didn't done something wonderful for you. You just gotta thank Him for it, you know, in the midst of all that's going on in my life and in your life. You know, I always use myself as an example because well I mean that way. I guarantee one hundred percent I know what I'm talking about. Um, here's the situation, you know, with everything that's going on in my life and all the things I'm asking God for in the midst of a taxing and a very trying situation. That's very challenging for me right now. Man, God just keeps on, keeps on surprising me. He keeps doing things. And I want you to look at your life. Or for a second, let's make two columns here. Let's make a column of all the things you want from God. You know, just do that throughout the course of the day. You know, you know, run down the list of all the things you're asking God for, all the things you're praying for, the things you aspire to, what your dreams, your visions, whatever it is. Just make a column, a list of all those things. Let's make three lists. And then the second list, I want you to make a list of everything that you've been asking God for. So I guess that could be a little bit of the same. But this third list, I want you to do a check off point. I want you to do a make a list of everything that God has given you that you've asked him for. Just think about it like that for a second. I may be explaining a little wrong right now, but I'm gonna pull it together for you. Make a list of everything you're asking God for. Just it's listed. You know, It's okay, It's a dream board. You can call it that I got one. It's a vision board. You know. Every everybody's got something you hope for. Make a list now. I want you to make another list of everything you've asked God for that he's given you already. See this is a good list because sometimes and what I've been guilty of, and maybe you two in my request list on my dream board. I keep focusing so hard sometimes on the what I'm yet to receive. I keep focusing so hard on the what I hope he gives me. I keep focusing so hard on the things that I yet not fulfilled in my life that sometimes, as he starts checking off my wish list the things I've asked for in the past that have come to pass that he's given me, I sometimes, in praying for what I want, get to thank him for what he's done for me. And I'm currently in the middle of that situation. And this morning when I woke up, I really, man, I just got on my knees this morning and I quit tripping for a second. I said, Man, hey, God, you know what I really do need all them things I'm asking for, and I'm really am believing that You're gonna give it to me. But in the meantime, though, Man, have I overlooked some important details here? I had to really look at what he's done for me. I mean, look, man, take yourself out of it personally and look, well, you can leave yourself in it however you want to be. Some people can't do that, So just leave yourself in it. Then. But man, I started looking at the eye part of me, and I started looking around at the what's happening overall. Like, man, he has kept my family together in spite of the attempts to tear it apart. I look at all of that. I look at how he's blessing my children with the desires of their heart, which I pray for my kids. You know, I want my kids to have a better life than I've had. I really really do. I don't want them to take as long as it took me to get it together. I really really don't. I'm trying to say, hey, man, if you go to college, this is what you can be. Don't do like your father did. Don't go three years, drop out, throw yourself into a spiral and then got to start to scratch all over again. You know, And for the most part. So far, you know, they're doing quite well of it. You know, you know they they're getting kicked around a little bit, but that's life. I started thinking of the blessings that he's helped me overcome with some of the previous mistakes I've made in relationships in my life. And then I started looking about the things he's blessed me with that I've been asking him for. But since I've moved on from it, I forgot to keep thinking him because I gotta always thank God for a roof over my head because guess what, when I was asking for the roof and I didn't really have it, then he gave me one that since he gave it to me, what, I'm just cool now, I can't ever go back to him and go, hey, man, I really do appreciate this roof over my head because that was a time when I was living in a car. But see, so every morning I wake up, I gotta remember the fact that I have a home now, because I got to look back and go, man, that was time, Steve, when you didn't have no home. But see, we forget what God has done for us. Because in our column, the won't column, the need column, we oftentimes forget for the columns and the check marks, as He's already fulfilled in our life. You've got to take inventory every now and then daily if possible. But I know we're humans. We're not gonna do that. I don't. But you've got to take inventory of your life to say, hey, what has God done for me? You know? And remember something else too. Change is good, but change is challenging. Accept the challenge that it is. Look a lot of you come up to me all the time and say, Steve Man, thank you, man boy, you in the morning. Man, I really be needing that, Like I under said it one hundred times, but I'm gonna say it again, y'all. I'd be needing it too. You know. You understand, sometimes what God is dealing with me is for me. But now I'm in a sharing position where I can open up and if I just if I just quit being so about me and become a little bit more transparent, I can maybe some of me that's happening to me is happening to you, and you can see some of this in me. That's why I use myself as an example, because man, I'm catching it too, y'all. I ain't perfect either. So for those of you that come up to me and say that, I want you to understand these these talks in the morning. Man, this is important for me because man, I need these conversations from God. I need God to continue to strengthen me, to show me the way, to help me understand what's happening to me. And see, as we've all those of you who have made the decision to change, to become a better person, a better woman, a better boy, a better girl, a better man. For those of you have made the decision to change, change is a challenge, and accept the challenge because it's gonna come. Because right out of that here come to haters. It ain't come people you don't even know, discussing your life and your change. If God see you, really really mean what you say in spite of what they say about you, God will raise you above the phrase. He'll keep promoting you, he'll keep blessing you, He'll keep moving you up. He will use you as a show off point. He'll show you off man. He'll make you. He'll make you look good to people man who wish you'd fall all day long. And so to all your haters, all your haters, will end up just watching you rise. Man, They will watch you continue to grow. That's what God will do for you. Man. You can fool the world, but you can't fool God. God know your heart, he know your every thought. Man. You're listening to show. Ladies and gentlemen, man, have your undivided attention. Please.

Thank you very much, and good morning everybody. This is ANDERP with the news. Well let's start out with this one. Very important funeral services are taking place in a Baltimore, Maryland church this morning for Representative Elijah Cummings, who passed away last week after undergoing a medical procedure. He was sixty eight years old. Cummings body was brought to the nation's capital yesterday, where he lay in state all day, becoming the first African American lawmaker to be so honored. However, two other black Americans were honored, civil rights icon Rosel Parks, DC police officer James Chesnut, who was killed in a Capitol Who'll shoot out. They were honored with their bodies laying in state what they call it laying in honor, the term used for non elected officials anyway. And yesterday's moroyal service at the Capitol many of Congressman Cummings fellow legislators like Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer, pay tribute. He was strong, very strong when necessary, but also kind and caring and honorable, universally respected and admired in a divided time. His voice could shake mountains, stir the most cynical hearts, inspiring us all to be better. His authority came not from the office he held. It came from the moral force of his life. A sharecropper's son born and raised in Baltimore, Elijah Cummings never forgot where he came from and never lost sight of where he wanted his country to go. During today's homegoing service, both the former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton are schedule to speak, among others and Lewis Flowers. The Cummings family asked that people make donations through the Elijah Cummings Youth Program or to Howard or Morgan State Universities in Texas. Yesterday, hundreds of mourners gathered for the funeral of twenty eight year old eight Titiana Jefferson. That's the black pre med student shot and killed by a white cop and she played with her eight year old nephew in her own home. Meanwhile, in Dallas, the white now former cop who shot and killed an innocent black man named Botham Jane in his own apartment is trying to appeal her murder conviction. Lawyers for Amber Geiger, who may can the community feel, already received a super light sentence of only ten years for botham Jean's killing. Her lawyers have filed the notice of appeal this week. Dallas police have identified two people and connect with the murder of former NBA player andre Emmett inside his home last month. Authorities say twenty nine year old Michael Lucky thirty to year old Keith Johnson responsible for fatally shooting the professional athlete. Lucky turned himself and Johnson was already in jail on another charge or something. Andre Emmett played for both the Brooklyn Nets and the Memphis Grizzlies.

We all saw that horrific video of the confrontation between mister Garner, a black man, and the officers trying to arrest him for selling untaxed cigarette. It drew outrage as well it should have. Mister Garner's dying words, I can't breathe remember that. Um. Reverend Al Sharpton of the National Action Network released a statement saying Pantalio's decision to seek his reinstatement is not only disrespectful to the Police Commissioner and the NYPD, but also the Gardner family. Uh Now, according to Pantalio's lawyer, Pantalio never put any pressure on Gardner's neck and that he likely died from either a lung or heart condition. No no, no autopsy told us what he died from. Yeah, Frank, yes, yeah, yeah, and we all saw it with our very own eyes. How about that Hinckley, the dude the shot Ronald Reagan. He can't go to the White House no more. Yeah, oj, your ass can't be a police officer, no mo right. The grand jury didn't indict him, but he did. The ruling was he did lose his job, and the Garner family won a civil lawsuit, you know, against the city. And we just saw Miss Eric Garner's mother, she was with us. There's no way you get to go back to this profession who would hire him? But and you're right, this is so disrespectful man, right, This is when you really don't understand the value of life, or so you think that you can kill this black man, get fired, and then sued him for firing. You What all I did was kill a black dude. Why I can't go back to work exactly? That's are you serious? Man? By him? And even they shouldn't even entertain this case. This is nothing. As soon as they filed a paperwork, they should throw it. Well, they filed it, they should throw this out. See, you could come to court for some dumb ass reasons, man, and this right here is appalling. Yeah, it really is total disregard for this man's life, for his family. You think that all you did was kill a black man, so you should be able to continue your job. Your ass really supposed to be in prison. You're supposed to be right over there with Amber Geiger doing some damn tap. It's what you supposed to be doing, right, sir. Interesting that you bring up Amber Geiger, Steve and other news out of Dallas, Texas former police officer Amber Geiger, who of course, was convicted of killing both them John and his apartment. While her lawyers have filed for paperwork to appeal her murder conviction. Geiger, of course, is serving her ten year sentence in Mountain View Prison and Bill, Texas. She is eligible for parole in twenty twenty four. So here we go. You can, you you can, you can appeal your conviction. You date, nobody's doing that. You go back to any court system. You're not gonna get that one overturned. Sorry, well, I hope you're right. Yeah, I mean, stranger things have happened. This is unbelievable, man. Listen, Really, Daniel Pantaleo trying to sue the New York Police Department and the police commissioner. That's crazy too. The audacity job and good. So you can have a weapon, so you could kill somebody else. Come on, man, now you've already proved that you would choke a person. Yeah, yeah, it would takes very little for you to shoot a person. And I don't see how any police officer we want to work side by side with somebody like that, knowing what he's done, because man, for the good offers that are out there to serve and protect, who do go to work trying to do the right thing? Why would you want to be sitting in a squad call with this this butthole y man, miss me? All right, coming up next, Steve, we're gonna switch gears here, Nephew Tommy in the building with today's prank phone call. We'll do that right after this.

It is Berry Letter, all right, Thank you, nephew Saved by the Finger. Dear Stephen Shirley, I attend a prominent mega church and I'm very active in my church. The church threw a back to school bash for the children at the church and we had a pool party in our indoor pool. I volunteered to help her on the pool and watch the smaller kids. Shirley, I have been losing weight for the last year and I wanted to show off my body in my swimsuit, but with a nice cover up on over my swimsuit. My husband told me I was going too far by wearing it to the church event, but I wasn't showing any body parts. I went to the party and it was going good until some of the kids started horse playing and I went over to stop them. One of the boys was so wild he pushed me in the pool by mistake. So there I was wig and all in the pool and flailing around to get out. One of the deacons of the church jumped in and tried to rescue me, so I was holding onto him for dear life. I ended up slipping out of his grip and he reached down with one hand and cupped my butt. When he did. When he did, one of his fingers slid into my butt. What man, I mean in my butt? So here I am in the pool, traumatized, and I don't think the deacon knew what he had just done. It happened so fast. I started yelling and other men came over and pulled me out. My cover up was all tangled up, so everyone saw my bikini, and that made me even more ashamed. I should have listened to my hobby and chose another job to volunteer for back to school bash. I got out of the pool and wrapped up in a towel, but I couldn't sit down. The pain was still there. I need to tell my husband what happened, but I don't know how. I wonder if the deacon figured out what he did. Maybe I should just take this secret to my grave. Please advise, please take this to your grave. All right, in the words of my late mother, Helen Clark, you cannot tell everything. Okay, this was an accident. It was an accident. None of this meant to go down, Okay, was meant to go down. Once your husband finds out what the deacon did, he's probably gonna want to put hands on the deacon. So please, you're gonna start a big old thing if you If you do this, if the deacon doesn't remember, just act like it didn't happen. I gotta tell you, congratulations on your weight loss. I know you were probably feeling yourself, you know, and and looking good and you know, and just feeling confident in all that because of the weight loss. Right now, but because this was a church affair, I have to say I agree with your husband. I think you should have listened to him and not warned that bikini there, and you know, maybe you could have avoided this little situation you found yourself in. No one would have known, you know, if you no one knows anyway, but they didn't know, you know, they wouldn't have seen you in this bikini, and you wouldn't have been ashamed, and it wouldn't have ended up like this. But now here you're feeling guilty for no reason. You don't have to feel like that. Okay, take this secret to your grave and go on with your life. Please just stay away from that deacon. Don't look him in the eye when you see him. Steve, Oh, well here we go. You better make me proudly. You better listen close to this megachurch. That means be a lot of people, and you very reactive in your church. Well not any more hard to be active when you sow. So let's just get to this. The church threw a back to school bass for the children at the church and they had a pool party. You volunteered to watch him at the pool party, but for a very devilish reason. See, you've been losing wait the last year, and you wanted to show off your body in the swim suit. You went down now with the intent to show everybody your ass. That's what you went down there, fault. Come on, now, I had nice cover up on my swim suit, but your husband told you you was going too far when the bikini to the church event. But I wasn't showing anybody parts. What you go down there? Fall into bikinni. A bikinny is two pieces, shoulders is out, some of your breast is out, all your mid section is out, and your booty out. Very important information here, booty is out. This is critical. So I went to the party and it was going good to some of the kids started horse playing. You went over to stop him. One of the bars was so wild he pushed you in the pool by mistake. That what you think? So there I was wig it all in the pool, flailing around to get out. Why is you flailing around to get out the pool? Why is you watching kids and your ass can't swim at the pool because the purpose wasn't to watch the kids. It was sold everybody else could watch you. You to jump your ass out there. Nah, God don't like showing out. So the punishment is you and you win as wig is not in the water. When I come back, I'm tell you what really happened. Yeah. Part two of Steve's response coming up at twenty three after the hour, subject Saved by the Finger. We'll be back right after this. You're listening show, all right, Steve, Come on, Let's recap today's Strawberry Letters. Subject Saved by the Finger. Part The uppity woman down at the church, Big church wants to watch the kids at the food party. She'd been losing wait for years, so she wanted to ask, she said in her letter, show off her body. So what she do at the church event. She put on the babe to suit, the shows off the most body the damn but kinney. Her husband told her not to wear. After the church event, she said, but I won't be showing any body parts because I'm wearing a wrap cover up. Well have fuck you? Went down at the show off one of the boys that the pool got wild and pushed you in the pool by mistake, that's what you think his ass wanted to see you? Whet the boy pushed you in now on purpose? Oh really? Oh hell yeah? And get your fine ass in the water. It's time for a little where t shirt contest contest. You don't think they noticed. They got computer, they know what to do. They didn't push your thicker ass in that water, and that it's all looking good. You flayed it around to get out, wig and all, because you know why, because you know why you're flailing because you can't swim. Why was your ass volunteering to be the lifeguard and you ass can't swim. You can't save a damn soul if they get it lost in the water. But you didn't took your ass down there to ship walk. Well here, let me tell you what happened. One of the deacons at the church jumped in and tried to rescue. So I was holding on to him for dear life that he went in there on purpose. He didn't have those swim shots on. Deacon then full suit everything, Yeah, get on in the hill. Yeah, he jumps in, I got you. I ended up slipping out of his grip and he reached down with one hand and cut my butt. That ain't how you save nobody like they ain't no life saving school. Do you jump in and grab nobody's ass to save them? This black dead in to grab your ass. Ain't have nothing. All this is happening in three feet of water. Three feet black people ain't got no pool with no dep in on it. Now he down in three feet of water, acting like he being health of with it. Damn suit off. This tie ain't even wet. Now you ended up slipping out of his grip. He greached down with one hand and cups your butt. Wow, the idea is to get your head out the water, knock your hand. So now he hadn't grabbed your home. But when he did, one of his fingers slid into my button, I mean in it, Dad off up in my booty. So here I am in the pool, traumatized as you should be. Got this bad, and you know, and this big deacon breaks, Big deacon break. This is why you're traumatized. One of them kids finger had it got caught up in that wouldn't have been that bad. But big ass deacon breaks. This was a whole another experience. That's why you're traumatized. I don't think that Dickon Deacon knew what had just happened. What you don't know why you don't think he happened. How he don't know his finger has slipped in your button. Let me help you understand. Something like that is a temperature change from pool water to foody water. Pool water and booted water is two different. Damn temperature one when you're in the pool. Pools is cool. They don't have heated pools in public et. This is cool water. When he cuts your butt and pushed his finger, felt a temperature change. It happened so fast. I started yelling. I've never had that happen. But I probably hollow too. I hollowed at my last prostate example, and I wasn't even in the pool. So now you holly. Some other men came over, pulled me out. My cover up was tangling up. Everybody saw my bikini. Ain't that what you want? Huh? Ain't that why you wore it? Because you wanted to show off your body. Now God, see, God grants our wishes, He just don't tell us how he gonna do it. So the Lord said that what you want this high is gonna happen though. Now you got to wrap wrapped up all around your neck. You got deacon finger to slid all up in you. Now you stand up there with the bikini on, and it made you more a shame. I shouldn't listened to my husband. You damn right chose another job, volunteered to back school bad. I go out the pool wrapped up in a tower, but I couldn't sit down. The pain was still that. That's called the big Deacon Banks. I need to tell my husband what happened, but I don't know how. You know why. You don't know how, because you're better not to tell him what you're gonna tell him. Not for I wondered the deacon figured out what he did? Hell yeah, he church Mouth's quiet. He know what he did. He dove in there. He saved you by grabbing your button to get you out of three feet of water. Maybe I should take my secret to the grave. You ain't gotta take your secret to the game. You might just take kept secret down to the hospital. All right, we gotta roll out, Steve. Thank you post your comments on Today's Strawberry Letter at Steve Harvey fam on Instagram.

Hey, you know, um, I want to share something to you all that really happened to me this year, and um, it was a game changer for me, and I think this is something that a lot of people experience. A guy was at my home doing a procedure today and uh he was said, mister Harvey, thank you so much. How do you do it? How do you? And I told him, and so I want to share it with you. You know, Um, you know I was almost borderline having high blood pressure right and that doctor's telling me, you gotta watch it. You gotta slow down a little bit, you gotta take your time. You know, you need more time off or something, but you gotta just stop. Man, you bought it, you don't have it, but you can be borderline. And we like to start you on five milligrams. I forgot the stuff they gave me, but they gave me five milligrams. That's when I came back to do the check up ninety days letter. My blood pressure was perfect and the doctor was saying to me, he said, man, this is great man. That five milligrams really worked. He said, But I'm looking at your records, and you didn't call in to get your refills and one supplies only. We gave you a one month supply. You should have had two refills. You didn't call in for the refills. I said, I stopped taking it. He said, no, no, no, no, your blood pressure is perfect, mister Harvey. Don't stop taking it because it's working just fun. I said no, I stopped taking it after seven days. He said what, he said, your blood pressure is perfect. What did you do? I said, well, I did two things. I started watching my diet really closely. He said that can help. But what else did you do? I said, I stopped worrying. He said what I said? I stopped worrying because what had happened y'all was And I found out that a lot of people suffer from stress. A lot of people have high CORTERSOL levels, which stop you from losing weight. A lot of people are high blood and borderline high high blood. A lot of people live their life under pressure and anxiety because of a simple thing called worry. Well, I was reading a scripture and I'm just gonna paraphrase it. There was a scripture that I had read that says, by worrying, you cannot add one hour to your life. And I stopped, and I thought, by worrying, you cannot add one hour to your life. Now, if worrying can't even add an hour to your life, what you're worrying about the rest of this stuff? For by worrying, you can't increase your time on earth? Why are you worrying about anything else? And what happens is we worry so much that we bring undue pressure on our shoulders that we don't need. Because the Large Prayer is clear, give us this day our daily bread. And the reason it doesn't mention the past in the Lord's Prayer, and it never mentions the future in the Large Prayer, with the exception of the line that will be done on earth as it is in heaven. I mean, that's the closest thing to talking about anything in terms of time. But what it clearly says is give us this day our daily bread. And as I got to study in a little bit further than I was reading this book, what they're talking about is God created us as creatures to live in twenty twenty four hour increments that we are really not designed to handle what happened in the past, and We're most certainly not designed to what's going to happen tomorrow. We are designed for twenty four hour increments. That's why you ask Him to give us this day our daily bread. And when you do that each day that you face when you focus on the right decisions today, worshiping, praising Him today, thanking him for today, thanking him for what all he's done for you, and you focus on the decisions, the thoughts, your visions. Not to say you're not supposed to have visions and dreams for tomorrow. I'm saying you're not supposed to worry about tomorrow. So when you focus on the right things of today, today is plenty. You have enough decisions to make today. You have enough trials or consequences I mean or tribulations to get over in the course of the day. You have enough to do to get through today. And today is so strong on us as human beings that God even broke these days up into two brackets. He gave us day and night so you can even get a rest from the day by going to bed. So he gives you day and night so you can break this very stressful thing up called life and keeping it to twenty four our increments you would be suppos rise, and how much better you would feel, how stress free your life becomes, and how happier you could become. If you simply would not worry about tomorrow, you can actually lower your blood pressure by eating right and by stop worrying about things you can't control. You can't do nothing about tomorrow. How many times have you laid a plan out for tomorrow and then you wake up and something happens and the whole plan go away. So now what you're worrying about tomorrow, how it's gonna go when guess what, you don't know what's gonna happen tomorrow. It could all change for the better, or it can all change your creative challenge. But if you would stop wary, if you would ask God to give us this day our daily bread and get through today. Focus on making decisions today, Focus on doing the right thing today. Focus on living the best life you can live today. Enjoy today. Stop tripping about what happened to you in the past because you can't change it, And stop tripping about what's gonna happen to me because you can't do nothing about it till it get here. If you would just stop worried. You would feel a whole lot better. Those are my closing remarks today. Guess what, like I've been saying, have yourself until weekend, he said.
