Listen to the movie together for Studley, I don't join join me in doing me. Honey. You gotta use that turn you. You gotta turn the turnow. You got to turn out, turn the water the water. Come come on your back. Uh huh, I sure will. A good morning everybody. You are listening to the voice, come on dig me now. One and only. Steve Harvey Man got a radio show. Steve Harvey got a radio show because God in the blessing business. Yeah, that's all. I'm just a recipient. Steve Harvey got a radio show because God is in the show you favor business. He showed me some favor. Steve Harvey got a radio show because God is in the forgiving business. God and forgave me thousands and thousands of times, you know. And I say that as a big number like that, because it's probably true. I can't even began to count the amount of times He's forgiving me for things I knowingly did and for things I've unknowingly done. You know, I've unintentionally hurt some people without even knowing it. He forgave me. That's amazing, man, that's amazing that he would even forgive me for that. But there's the biggie though. All the decisions I've made in my life, the deliberate mistakes that I've made, that he's forgiven me for. That's the big Man. You can only get that from God. Do you know? Man, there are people out there that you've done something to, just a little thing, and they just have never forgiven you. There are people who've done little things to you or big things to you, and you just can't seem to forgive them. I am so glad God is not that way. God is a forgiven God. That's how I exist today, and that's how you exist today. And one of the things I want to remind you about even in existing today. You know, Joel Oldstein had a has a book out called It's Your Time. I love this boy. It's called It's Your Time. And that's kind of what I want to touch you on today. And I want to remind you all that it's still your time. See, you know, there's look, you know, they've got unsuccessful people have created a lot of sayings to justify our failures as people. Well, my ship has passed. That that was created by a person who did not quite make their goal in the amount of time that they had set for. So to justify it, here comes this great, seemingly very clever saying, and a lot of us adapt, Well, my ship has passed, so we adopt that. Here's another one. Well, I guess it just wasn't meant to be. That sounds good, don't it, because they mix it up with a little bit of faith based in it. I guessed it wasn't. Well, here's another one. I guess if God wanted it for me, i'd have it. Are you serious? Man? Are you serious? You're actually gonna use that one to to to justify where you are in life? Man, that's that's so, that's so not the case. I want to remind everybody today that it's still your time. That you know, your ship hasn't sailed, you didn't miss all of your opportunities. There's others. It's still your time. You know you still got a chance, you still have a shot. Here's a good one. You still have hope, you do, all of you as long as God is who he is. There's always hope for you. You can never lose sight of that. You can never let the devil win that battle, that there is no hope for you and cause you to do something that's unthinkable. I'm just gonna cash in the chips. I'm gonna take my life. I'm gonna commit suicide. No no, no, wait a second, wait a second. Are you for real? That's not God talking to you. That's something wrong and it's not coming from him. It's still your time. You still got a chance. There's always hope. But listen to me. You got to move and you got to move on it. So many people are not getting the full benefit of their life, and so many people are not getting all the blessings that God has for because you keep waiting on the perfect time. Man. How many times have I heard people come to me and say, hey, man, I'm just waiting on everything to line up. Right. Man, I'm waiting on the perfect time to get can't tell you something. If I were waiting on the perfect time, I wouldn't be hardly any of the things that I've become. And one of my greatest blessings was marrying Marjorie. I wouldn't even have married Marjorie if I was waiting on the perfect time, because I had gone through what I thought was enough misery to cover my entire lifetime. And so when I was first divorced, I just said, man, it's gonna be five six years before I do this again. I said it. Two years later I was married. But guess what, man, it wasn't the perfect time. I didn't have my ducks, all my ducks lined up in a row. It was still some things I needed to clean up. I even told her, it's some things I want to clean up out of my life before you know it's it's I want I want to make sure I got all the stars are lined up, you know I want to I want to wait until all the ducks are in a row. I was waiting on the perfect time. If I had not stopped, and Marjorie and I had set out and said to each other there will be no perfect time. And then she said, I'll go through with you whatever you're going through. That was it. I took a chance. The ducks were not lined up in a row. I had a lot of baggage in my life, man, I wanted to try to clear up I want to do some things financially different. I wanted to just get rid of some residue I had in my life. She said, no, we'll do it together, because they ain't no perfect time. And guess what it wasn't. So if you're out there waiting on the perfect time to do something, it may not come. There is no such thing as waiting on the perfect time. I've said this a hundred times, and here comes one on one. The road to success is always under construction. You ain't gonna go out there and there ain't no barrels on the road. You're not going out there and not running to deet to a sign. You're not going out there without seeing the men working signed to get off. You're not going out there to see it. So guess what. Stop waiting on the stars. I got man, this is a perfect time to do it now. If you're waiting on the perfect time, that could be one of your biggest problems. You're still waiting. You have got to move and you've got to move on it, and you've got to make a decision to go now. God will get you through everything necessary for you to get through. But you can't quit though. See it is as apart. You can't quit just because the road you're own is under construction. You can't get off at the exit because you're tired of all the bump of the bumper traffic. It's that way. Get you some God, like I said, get you some God, and go on and go see what your life can be like. So stop waiting on the perfect time, Stop waiting on the stars to align themselves. You got to move and you got to move on it. Get you some God, apply some faith, and get started. And remember when you get out there, coming towards your goal, the road to construct, the road to success is always under construction. If it was easy, everybody would be it. Stop expecting it to be easy. Come on out here, get up in this thing. It's funky out here. Yeah I got all that. It's hard out here, Yeah I got all that. But what you wanna do, Man, what you wanna do? You're gonna push your chips up to the window. It ain't time for that. You still got time, You still got a chance. There's always hope, there's always God.

The current partial government shutdown continues in a top White House officialist quoted as saying that it may stretch until next year, since Democrats and Republicans remained at an impass over funding that President Trump's border wall requires. According to President Trump, he wants over five billion dollars from US taxpayers, while the Democrats say they're okay about maybe one and a half billion, and Acting Chief of Staff Bill Vaney tells Fox News Sunday that Trump is not moving away from his stated position, not entirely. We had given an offer a counter offer to mister Schumer, and immediately, I think thereafter the Senate went into recess until at least Thursday. That doesn't mean it meet before Thursday till we get hear something back. But I don't think things are going to move very quickly here for the next couple of days Vaney says that the offer may to Senate democratically to Charles Schumer, is between the president's request and what the Democrats are willing to sign on to. So, in other words, he's willing to come down a little bit, and they're hoping that the Democrats will come up a little bit. So right now, a quarter of the government is affected by the shutdown. Eight hundred thousand federal workers have been furloughed, while others are working without pay. The effects of the shutdown, though, won't be what'll be most noticeable, we can sing on Wednesday, when federal employees are scheduled to return to work after the Christmas holiday, So we'll see.

However, Trump says Defense Secretary the Deputy Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan, will take over as acting Defense Secretary on January first, or he's selling. He's basically telling Maddis you can leave now. The President went on Twitter, as he so often does, saying that quote, I am pleased to announce that our very talented Deputy Secretary of Defense, Patrick Shanahan, will assume the title of Acting Secretary Defense starting January first. Patrick has a long list of accomplishments while serving as deputy and previously at boeing he will be great. Lebron James is saying that the NFL owners have a slave mentality. Lebron on his Friday night HBO show called him a bunch of old white men who tossed players aside who don't follow orders, and he made that statement during a discussion over the treatment of players Colin Kaepernick and Eric Reid who knelt during the playing of the national anthem to call attention to this country's racial injustice and who can't get a job.

And if you need advice on relationships, on dating, on work, on sex, on parenting, and more, submit your Strawberry letter to Steve Harvey fl dot com and click submit Strawberry Strawberry Letter. Tell him Steve, Yeah, do like she said. All right, let's go, all right, all right, let's get it, y'all. Buckle up, hold on tight. We got it from a strawberry letter. Now, this is a very short letter subject. You can't get anything for free from me. Okay, here, Stephen Shirley. I used to be a working girl, but I've been out of the game for five years since I made this big lifestyle change. I have only dated one man, and he knew about my past and was willing and able to take care of me. Now that I'm back on the dating scene, it's been hard for me to transition to another good man. Dating is so different now. In the past, I sold my body because I needed the money to pay a couple of bills, go out for nice dinners, and get whatever else my heart desired. Now, through the grace of God, I can pay for anything I need myself. But I still want a man that is going to spend money on me if I'm intimate with him. Is it wrong for me to think like this? Nothing is free, So if he's laying with me, shouldn't he pay? Okay? So then the question becomes, are you out of the game or not? Okay, because by the sound of your letter, you're still about that life. I mean, you're obviously in the same mindset from back in the day when you were, as you say, selling your body for stuff. So as long as you're thinking this way, you're you're not all the way out. You're just not. I mean, no real man, no real woman is going to just take money or just pay you for being intimate with them. You know, if you guys are in a relationship and on a date and stuff, that's prostitution. I mean, that's what that is. Doing it that way would mean that you're still in your old life, You're still in the game. I mean, don't you get that how that works? Um? If he's paying for intimacy, he's paying for your services. Which that's what you did back in the day when you said you were selling your body to pay a couple of bills and get whatever else your heart desired, along with some nice dinners. So you have to stop thinking like that. You haven't completely changed, Okay, you just haven't. And until you stop, you probably won't meet that good man that you're wanting to meet now since you and the other guy broke up. Steve, Well, this is a real simple ladder. This is a letter from this lady that was a hooker and a prostitute. Stop all this working girl and all this here. This is a hooker and a prosecuting trying to call it with working girl. Call it what you want to call this is hooking. We are here tricking, oh ja. He said it best. A woman will sell her precious body for a small piece of paper. It carries a lot of weight. Oh that mean mean, mean, mean, green almighty dollar. Oh lord, all this letter is about is about money. She never mentioned love in this letter. Just love. This ain't got nothing to do with love. That subject. You can't get anything for free from me? Okay, cool, Then you're into life, Stephen Shall. I used to be a working girl, but I've been out of the game for five years since I made this big lifestyle change. I've only dated one man, and he knew about my past, and it's willing able to take care of me now that I'm back on the dating scene. So now something happened with this one man. So now she back on the Dayton scene. Now that I'm back on the dating scene, it's been hard for me to transition to another good man. Dating is so different now. In the past, I sold my body because I needed the money to pay a couple of bills, go out for nice dinners, and get whatever else my heart desire. Now, through the grace of God, I could pay for anything I need myself. Okay, that was quick. I missed something here. You used to sell your body so you could go out and take care of some bills and nice dinners and get whatever else your heart desire. Now, through the grace of God, I could pay for anything I need myself now, So that must mean you got a job. Yeah, that's what I think. But I still want a man who's going to spend money on me if I'm intimate with him. Well, you know, in out the Life, Surely said it right. You're in the life, y'a out the life, y'all have the life. Yere into life. You don't make up your mind. The only way this is gonna work is what Surely said. You gotta change your mindset, okay, because all you're doing right now you equating your sex to money. And as long as that's what it is, you ain't heard love in this letter, Compassion, companionship or friend. You know, someone to lean on to share moments with That ain't what You just still paying bills. And if I'm gonna lay with you, you need to pay me something. And I'm gonna tell you something. That thing you're selling, let me help you out. It ain't all that good. I'm gonna tell you that right now. No, no, it's not. And see, let me tell you something you could quit thanking yours is to catch me out the end all because it ain't. Everybody got one. Don't nobody care because you're willing to pass it out for money. Go quicker, go harder? What what? What? What? Everybody got one? Somebody did a whole lot of them betting yours. Yeah, and the reason you could get money for it was was you fitting to sell it for money. See, it's easy to get somebody to buy from you. Ain't nobody got to have no conversation that here go fad it. Now, let's go on to get it. That's not dating. Oh you don't know what dog dog dog, She says. She was an escort girl. She was a working girl. Now, if you were solo, or you had a pimp or whatever, I understand how all this go. Or if you're doing it yourself. I don't know how you was doing it. But you didn't equate it all this to money. Anybody got time for this hill? Now look until you start talking about love, companionship, friendship, warm and tender moments memory, sunset walks on the beach, Then don't write me because I don't know what to tell you. Because you want to lay with somebody and get paid. So you you want to stop being a hooker, but you want to keep hooking principles. Right, So now go ahead on what you just said right there. You want to stop hooking, but you want to keep the hooker principle. Now that don't make no damn sense to me. And we're not doing a part two on this, damn mad Yeah, because we threw with you. Do you think she take cash? Apple squire? How do you think? But see that you is stupid to me because dating is so different now you we own a dumb as a damn don't know. Why do you have to tell him this every day? All right? We have to take a little break right here. This letter is called you Can't Get Anything for Free from Me. We're gonna come back and wrap things up at twenty three after the hour. Okay, you're listening, all right, Steve, here we are part two. I know you don't want to do a part two of this letter. Uh. The subject is you can't get Anything for free from Me. It's about a woman who says she used to be a working girl, but she's changed, she's out the game now. But the men she meet, she wants them to pay her for being intimate with them. So she's not really out. What why why are we still talking about it? Yeah? She probably old school, is probably Western Union. She says, nothing is free. So if he's laying with me, shouldn't he pay? Wow? Well yeah, why don't you charge him? Then? Just going back to what you just charge him, that relationship is over. See, she doesn't understand. She her idea of dating is just to go out with a man. It ain't She ain't looking for love. She ain't trying to find a warm memories, try to have a future, raise her family. She's not trying to do none of that. All she trying to do is is date. Now. She used to be a hooker. Okay, cool, Now you think every man take you out? If you lay with him, you post to get some money. Okay, lady, Until you want a relationship, don't call him, just keep hooking. Well, she's not the game. She not a gage physically not mentally. Yeah. All right, well listen, um, we gotta go.
