Y'all know what time of y'all don't know, y'all back a suit on, looking back to back down, giving them like American buck things. And it's not doing me true good at Steve Hary listening to the movie Together for Steve, Please, Moby, I don't join join me. You're doing me. You gotta use that turning. You gotta turn to turn them out. Turn, got to turn them out. Then turn the water the water. Come come on your baby daddy. Uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody. You are listening to the voice, Come on dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey Man got a radio show, Boil Boiled boy. I can't even tell you, man, um, I've been doing some thinking and you know, just coming off vacation, I was really had some time to sit down and and you know, just recharge myself and and just think about a lot of things, and and and really spend some time with my wife and her and I, you know, just recommitted ourselves and and and just went over a lot of things. Just had a lot of long talks. You know. Communication is the key, you know, and I'm a guy and I suffer with that, as do a lot of guys. I think a lot of women say that they have a communication problem with their men. I'm a different you know. I can write a book all day, but I still I am a man. I'm wired a certain way. It's not making excuses, it's just it's certain things that we have to pay attention to, especially when it comes to women, because of the way we're wired. And we were just sitting out there talking and having some conversations, and one of the things that I wanted to mention today to you as one of the principles of success being grateful at all times. It's difficult to do. Being grateful at all times. It's very difficult to do. I find that to be true with myself. Now there are others that might be able to do it, but just just from talking and listening and living and learning, being grateful at all times it's difficult to do, but it's necessary because it's it's such an act of faith in knowing that no matter what's going on, it's going to be all right. And it's hard to see that when things are not going in your favor, when things have turned so dramatically the other way, and it seems as though you're the only one in the situation where you're involved with other people, or someone got an accusation against you falsely, or somebody trying to do something to you unjustifiably, whatever the case may be. When it's happening to you, it does appear to you that, oh, my goodness, man, this is horribly one sided. So it is difficult. It's hard to do to be grateful at all times, but it's so necessary, and I just I just want to point out a couple of things to you. First of all, the difficulty in being grateful in hard times is that number one, the present circumstances. Oftentimes it's just so pressing and so overwhelming that a lot of your energy is devoted to trying to come up with the solution for that, or trying to muster the strength to whether the storm, or trying to just brace yourself to try to get through it, and in doing that, you don't It's hard to be grateful. It's hard to be grateful in pain, and I know it is. But here is the trick for me. This is what I've had to learn how to do, and I guess it takes practice to get here. It's not nothing you can just start doing right away. You got to practice it in small increments to really get it. What I've always had to say to myself and what I've learned to say to myself, is this is happening to me because God is working me through something. This is happening to me because there's some form of tests that I have to pass in order to graduate to the next grade, and that in order to be allowed to move to the next level. This is happening to me because there's something I need to purge my life, of my body, of my spirit, of something's purging in me. And when you purge something, it's it's painful. You know, it's like a person getting off drugs. The withdrawal is agonizing. I've been told in every documentary I've ever watched it it's an agonizing process to go cold turkey, to withdraw, to pull away after you've been doing something so long. And so I know that this process is tough when you're going through some pain. But when you're purging your system, when you're you're when you're having to pass a test, when you're about to make when you're being made ready for the next level, that moment right in there in realizing that that's what's happening, that's where you find the gratitude. That's where I found the gratitude. I hope I'm explaining this correctly. I'm gonna keep trying until I get it, But that's where you find the gratitude. The second part of it is is that God has never left me in all the things I've done, in all the mistakes I've made, all the lies I've told, all the situations I've gotten myself into from being greedy and wanting too much for me at the expense sometimes of other people, not doing it deliberately or in a vindictive way, because I've never had that spirit. I'm not a vindictive or mean person, but sometimes in my life, in wanting to do what I wanted to do, I didn't totally weigh out the cause and effect of the other person. I mean, can't just be real with you with that. I mean, how many times we hadn't all done that? Look, it doesn't don't make you a bad person, you know, good people do bad things all the time. I just happen to have come to the realization that unknowingly and and not and not with malice intent towards a person. I've heard people looking at something I wanted to do without really looking at what the cause and effect would be on the other person. So in doing some of these things, I've created situations for myself. But God, through his grace and mercy, has allowed me to even get beyond that. So what I'm saying that God has never left me in spite of myself. He's always gotten me through. So that's the other part of it too. See that no matter what you're going through, you've got to understand that God has always gotten you through it, now, hasn't it. Now that may not be the way you want it or the way you liked, but guess what, you can't do wrong and not pay for that. Now that that's not how this works, That's never going to be the case. But the great thing about God is he fires warning shots at us all the time. He gives us an opportunity to stop. You know, He don't fully punish us right away every time we do something wrong. Now does it? You know eventually you're going to get caught doing whatever it is you're doing. You do understand that, don't you. But the first time that close call, that was a warning shot for you to stop. Look, I know you're not perfect. I know we all sent us down here, so I know you're gonna make mistakes. One time, I know you was looking at her when you wasn't supposed to. I know you said something to him when you wasn't supposed I know you got with her when you know you wasn't supposed to. And I know you got with him when you know you wasn't supposed to. So I'll tell you what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna fire warning shot and maybe you'll slow your roll this time. But we keep on though. See see see that's what happens. See we just keep on and then the next thing, you know, we get caught. Now, Old Lord, have mercy, I won't out of this. Yeah, well see you didn't dug this hole pretty deep, and he gonna get you out. But there's some things that's got to go down now because you didn't pay attention to the warning shot. See, had you stopped the first time, you felt bad about it and said you wasn't gonna do it no more, the situation wouldn't be as critical. But because we don't stop, and we go again. But God always for gives He always allows us to get back up again. He always gives us mercy, He always gives us his grace. He always does that. You're listening all right, everybody. You have just done the right thing. What you've done is started your day off with the Steve Harding Morning Show. I am Jay Anthony Brown.

She said that yesterday morning that she'll leave on April seventh, which is the show's eleventh anniversary. Now, originally she was only supposed to do a year, just one year. She said she fell in love with Hoda Kotb. She fell in love with her, So eleven years later, you know, here they are. She says she wants to do more acting. Yeah, really good. Yeah, but you know she wants to do more acting and things like that. So you know, she's bowing out at their eleventh year anniversary. Someone was like, why don't she just go in to make a twelve?

It reads a lot right, well, and they say Hoda's going to continue to do that hour, but they have not named from now going to be because I was wondering if they would just replace both of them, because holda, now she's the anchor of the Today's Show.

Y'all, no bad man, quick, it's time Jay for the headlines. I read everybody in the headliness and trip y'all. While threatening to allow for a federal government shut down, the president insisted on getting five billion with a beat dollars and that's the amount he wants for his campaign promised border wall. I don't mind having the issue of border security on my side if we have to close down the country over border security. I actually like that in terms of an issue, but I don't want it to be an issue. I wanted to be something that the country needs. Is not really an issue, it's something the country needs. Yeah. However, expected House Speaker Nancy Pelosian sent him with NARTI leader Chuck Schuma stood there ground. Schuma says the president can't always have his way. This Trump shut down, this temper tantrum that he seems to throw will not get him his wall, and it'll heard a lot of people because he will cause a shutdown. Schumer says that less than six percent, less than six percent of the one point three billion dollars already authorized for the board of Wall has been spent. Lawmakers have only ten days to reach a budget agreement, and avoid a partial government shut down just before the Christmas holiday. Former Trump lawyer some say bagman Michael Cohen gets sentenced today for lying to the Congress. Cohen played guilty to tax evasion and campaign finance violations. Prosecutors are hoping for some substantial time behind bars. Cohen, of course, hoping for none. US sent a committee get this one. The US sent a committee on Indian Affairs a schedule a hold of hearing today on the high disappearance and murder rate for American Indian women. According to federal statistics, there were almost six thousand, six thousand open cases of missing Native American women on the books in twenty sixteen. Authorisay some communities Indian women face murder rates that are more than ten times the national average, and that there are two and a half times more likely than other women to be victims of rape, sexual assault, and violent crimes. For instance, the white upstairs neighbors of one Native woman in North Dakota recently cut the fetus from her womb, wrapped her in plastic bags, and threw her body in a river for no reason. Jurors in Virginia say the white man who drove his car into a crowd of anti racism protests, killing one young woman and injuring several others. Should spend the rest of his life in prison. Jury in Charlottesville yesterday recommended life plus four hundred and nineteen years. But James Alex feels his lawyer claims feels fear for his life and rammed into the crowd and self defends all the panel and by that feels is to be sentenced. In March, Time magazine has elected four journalists and a newspaper as their Person of the Year. They're calling the reporters, the Guardians, and the War on Truth, and the group includes a murdered Washington Post columnist Hamal Choji. President Trump was the warner up, by the way, in the third place, special Prosecutor Robert Mueller. Finally, today is National Dingling Day. To the Steve Harvey Morning Show you're listening to. All right, well, everyone, this is a big debate on social media. They've been debating on the topic of who is the king of R and b uh and uh. Georgia singer songwriter Jack Quez launched on social media and declared himself the king of R and B for this generation. He says this generation. He said, I know all about the past and all of that, you know, R and B, U, R Kelly and Bobby Brown and all of that, But right now, honestly, I don't think there is a king of R and B right now, if it's not me. But John Legend had something interesting to say. He said that, uh, maybe not right now. There's not a king of R and B. He said, anyone consistently dominating the charts, selling out Arenas, etc. Allah Usher back in his prime, but um, not a comment on quality. He said, I think the throne is open right now.

We could be reading your letter. Yes, your letter. You your letter live on the air, just like we're gonna do this one today. Buckle up, pinhold on tight. We have it full you here it is Strawberry Letter. Subject our friendship has turned into a threesome. Dear Stephen Shirley, I need some advice on a situation with my best friend and her husband. My friend and I have known each other since high school, and we were each other's in each other's wedding, and our children are around the same age. My husband and I double date with my friend and her husband, but now I can't stand her husband on. He is a great guy. He's professional, successful, and a great dad. What bothers me about him most is that all of a sudden, he has taken an interest in what me and his wife are doing. All of the time if we are all out together, he tends to be all up in our conversation and engagees in our gossip sessions, and usually as more gossip to share than we do. He thinks he's a personal stylist too, so if we are discussing clothing, purses, or shoes, he joins in with his opinion on designers. When we discuss politics or sports, he is not as animated or as interested, But the minute we start talking about reality TV, he chimes right in. My husband has noticed it too, and he is usually just sitting there with nothing to say because he doesn't watch reality TV, nor does he gossip. Whenever my friend and I are having a juicy conversation on the phone, she will put me on speaker and tell him, oh, honey, you got to hear this. This is driving me nuts and I want to talk to her about it, but it seems like she encourages his behavior. I know your husband should be your best friend, but jeez, I can't take it, and I'm ready to bow out of this threesome. What should I do? Well, now, this is a different kind of threesome. Hum, Tommy's all disappointed? Here are disappointed? All listen I blame this on your friend, your bestie from high school, for including him in the conversation and everything. I mean, you know, sometimes it's polite if they're just sitting right there. But I mean, come on, you know, we girls like to get wild and gossipy and we do that. I mean, we we all do it, uh, you know, with our friends when it's time for you know, to talk just girl stuff, just like guys talk just guy stuff. But if she's including him and making him think that it's okay to do this, maybe this is what he thinks she wants, so yeah, he's going to be a part of it. I think it's it's a little rude of her. It's a lot rude of her. I should say to put you on speaker phone. You know, you're supposed to let people know when they're on speaker phone, because if you're talking to your girl, your girl might be saying some crazy, wild stuff. You don't want guys hearing that some things are just for our ears only. Okayum, you know we could just be saying crazy, crazy, just crazy stuff. I know, I do. You know, Carl and I talk if we're on the phone, we're not Nesto and Tash are nowhere near us and we're not on speaker phone. Okay, what they need to do? Right? We're talking crazy, so you know you don't want that. So again I blame us on your girlfriend. What is she doing this for? I mean, what is the point in all of this If you're just talking with your girl. Let it just be your girl. If you know, if it's all inclusive, then do it when you all are all together and it's something of interest to everyone. You say, your husband isn't even interested in gossip. He doesn't watch reality TV, so you know, change the subject if that's the case. Uh, to the woman who wrote the letter, change the subject if you see it's not going the way you wanted to go to talk about stuff that includes everyone that that your husband will be a part of, or you and your girl just get up and you know, uh, go out and talk about what you want to talk about. I mean, I don't think we should make this into a big deal where you gotta choose between your friends or stop being friends with your best friend from high school. I don't think it's that serious. It may get on your nerves, but you just gotta change the dynamics and change the conversation. You know, know who's in the room and just change it. Uh Junior, Yeah, come on, I see what's going on here. You see what's going on. I see this right here. Yeah. Well this begs me to ask the question, what kind of man? Uh you shen All women conversation talking reality, fashion, all know all about the person, this line, this fall, line of shoes, all this type of stuff. Close. I tell you what kind of man this is? Don't type of man that dude? This is ugly to men. You know why? No man? They got time to read this. Ain't nobody bothering them. That's how they have so much noted. Ugly people know a lot. You ain't never her, You ain't never found an other person. Ain't got nothing to say. Other people know about everything. They know about all the guys are going down at the church. Didn't know everything ain't going on at the job because they ask. Nobody's talking to them. They listen. When they get an opportunity to jump in, they must be feel this information. This is an ugly man. At worst I've seen this ass is ugly about you see, her husband didn't know that. Her husband didn't know anything. He handled people don't have to say nothing he found you get for us cold. He don't talk a lot, you know, and he's about everything. He had thirty two women to talk to, all right, j what you got really gonna have? Friendship? Agree with Junior. Not only is he ugly, but the part of this letter that jumps out it is he's a professional, he's successful, and he's a great dad, which means he has learned with his ugly self everything in his life that he needs to know he has. He's suffering from a disease that a lot of men get when they get around that age. It's no tall. They know every damn suffering from. No tall means he's a know it all. He knows every damn thing. Just something that they say about him when he's not around. He makes me sick with his ugly ass. As soon as he's not around, they say that a lot. He made me so sick with his I know it is what you see it you don't know, you see he made me so damn sick with you guys. You guys have a part, right, Yeah, And she needs to realize that because I don't think this is anything worth breaking up a long term friendship. Like you have with your bestie. Don't do that. Don't don't do that. No, you've been You guys have been friends since high school. You your kids are friends. All right, we'll get into it. The nephew hasn't responded. Uh. The subject is our friendship has turned into a threesome. We'll be back at twenty three after you're listening to Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, guys, come on, we need to get back into this letter. We'll recap it. The subject is our friendship has turned into a threesome. We've heard from Junior, we've heard from Jay, you've heard from me, of course, and we haven't heard from the nephew. But the letter a woman writes in she wants some advice on a situation about her best friend and her husband a different kind of threesome, Tommy. As a matter of fact, she and her friend have known each other since high school. They were in each other's weddings, their children are around the same age. She and her husband date with her best friend and her husband a lot of the times, and they go out and everything. But now what's happening is her best friend's husband is starting to dip into their conversation. He knows more about the stuff that they talk about than the girls do. Okay, he knows all about fashion, he knows all about reality TV. On the other hand, now he is a professional and all of that. He has a great job. He doesn't talk about politics, he doesn't talk about sports or anything like that. So he's talking more to the women than he is to the guy. They don't talk about, you know, guy things. He's over there with the women. Junior says, he's ugly. I say that she needs to switch the conversation up. She needs to just you know, talk about stuff that they can all be inclusive in. Jay agrees with Junior that the man must be ugly. He got to be because he knows too much. He knows too much us be quiet. Yeah, she said it's driving her nuts and she wants to talk to her girlfriend about it. But but she's kind of upset with her girlfriend because she believes that her girlfriend encourages his behavior. So he doesn't know that he should, you know, step back and and and not do this. I don't understand for you. It's a different kind of threesome. Something I'm not used what I'm not used to the other one. Let me let me stop listen. Uh. I don't agree with this man. I don't agree with what he's doing. I don't agree with these realities shows. Unless he is on the own network watching Ready to Love. That I understand this man. You understand me. I don't understand if he's watching something else, but if he's watching Ready to Love, if he's talking about the host, I don't Ready to Love. I understand him. Delvin diving in and talking back and forth. What the ladies about this? If he talking about the host, if he talking about Will Paco, if he's talking about Oh, if he talking about Mike and Shaye, are they gonna get married? If he's talking, I understand this brother. I feel where he's coming from, and I get it. He understand now. If he's talking about other shows that I don't know nothing about, I ain't gonna do that. What I'm saying is if he's talking about Ready to Love on the own network hosted by yours truly, then I understand what this man is going through. I understand when people start talking about it, he wants to discuss it. I get it. I get it, and I see why the threesome this is a this is a reality the threesome. You understand I'm saying, and I get it. It's a reality threesome. You know, this is where this is where three people are joined together talking about a reality situation, a reality show. This is a threesome. This is a Ready to Love threesome by fans. This is what this is. Don't about to see this see with Yeah? Yeah. What I do see is how this gets on her nerves. Though. Understand you don't want to Ready to Love or do that to you. You see what I'm saying. But I mean Ready to Love is different because that's the show for men and women. You know, that is a show. But see, that's what he that's why he's jumping into the conversation because he knows everything about it. Yes, yes, yes, yeah, yes, thank you. So he knows your history of the show, he knows where you came from, he knows that you've been through, and he's constantly trying to share this with these women because he knows everything about that show. And it's and I understand the guys, it's all right to be ugly and watch reality TV. I don't care what you look like. It's the knowledge he didn't retain. That's what we are set about. How you know all this stuff they bring up the game? You ain't see that, but soon did. Somebody said, did y'allsey, Tim, you are ready to love? And he come up the back with his mouth. I showed the I'm not mad at him. You're talking politics. Did you see what Trump did to Jack? Oh? My god? S sports? Politics? He don't he don't say nothing. He says nothing nothing. In the game, it's silent, you and Jay having a conversation and he come in. Go ahead. So like the game the other night, man, it was a great game. Did you see it? Because it was great? Man? Man, did y'all share Mike? Did y'all shaw Mike? Ready to Ready to Love? I know y'all talking about something, but did y'all see your no? Man? Hey man, So you don't like um um Sunday?

At Steve Harvey FM now coming up in ten minutes, President Trump argued with Democratic leaders Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer over the wall funding. Boy did you see that? But Chuck and Nancy were ready with the clap bag. We'll talk about it right after this. You're listening to Steve Harvey Morning show. President Trump argued with Democratic leaders Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer over wall funding on this Mexico border wall in the Oval Office. This was on live TV. Did you guys see this? Tears? I think we can agree on is we shouldn't shut down the government over a dispute. And you want to shut it down. You keep talking about the last time, Chuck, you shut it down. Oh no, no, and then you open any time quickly. And I don't want to do what you did twenty times. You will called for I will shut down the government if I don't get my woll none of us. If you want to know, you've said you want to put them on set it. I'll take it. Okay, good, you know what. I'll say, Yes, if we don't get what we want one way or the other, whether it's through you, through a military, through anything you want to call, I will shut down the governabout and I am proud and I'll disagree. I am proud to shut down the government for border security check because the people of this country don't want criminals and people that have lots of problems and drugs pouring into our country. So I will take the mantle. I will be the one to shut it down. I'm not gonna blame you for it. The last time you shut it down, it didn't work. I will take the mantle of shutting down and I'm gonna shut it down for border But we believe you shouldn't shut it down. Thank you very much, everybody who and sing that President, but this is lock live, this is live. Yeah. I mean I feel like we were pulling back the curtain on suddenly. We should not have been singing, you know. Noah, My argument is lave wait. What I tell all my arguments is live. That's all. You're not the president, sir, and you're been the oval. Offer to say that I'm shut the government, yeah, I'll take it. I'll take Christmas to say stuff like, yeah, the government people don't waiting I mean the post office, Yeah, the DMV all that.

And then what he said about the people coming over here, I mean, you know he shouldn't have said that either. No, he always criminals with with being criminals and evil people and they're all not that all, not that it just as not Yeah, of course not. He has no right to say that. Yeah, But Chuck and Nancy were just it was It was to me, it was like two people who know what they're talking about against a guy who didn't know what the hell he was talking about, right, and he just made they made him look stupid, right stupid. After that, Chuck Schimmer went on to say that the president is having a temper tantrum. Take a listen to this. This Trump shut down, this temper tantrum that he seems to throw will not get him his wall, and it'll hurt a lot of people because he will cause a shutdown. He admitted he wanted to shut down. It's hard to believe that he would want that, very hard to believe, very very hard. If he's the president and he's asked, he's saying, if he doesn't get what he wants, he's gonna shut down the government. You're the president. Yeah, he let your little kid in the back of the card. It's whining because you don't want to take him to get French fries. Yeah, no, no, he want to take his ball and go home. Yeah, you're right, right. And can you just imagine if this were Obama? I mean really, it would just it would be so awful. He would be the worst person on the planet. He would You know what happened in Mexico paying for the wall? One n they're gonna pay for the wall. Now he told you he wasn't paying for it. Now told him, he told you Mexico told him right. Yeah, he told him in two languages and no, no, no, my friend, happen we're not fishing the wall. No. He taught him in Spanish and French here and in coach h that's why I made in French. Yeah, well. Chuck Schumer went on to say that the Democrats have a proposal that both Democrats and Republicans will support that will not shut down the government. The President said, if it's not good border security, he will shut down the government. Was he listening, No, he wouldn't listen. I mean really thinks they won the election. That they didn't. The Republicans lost yeast of the seats, but they're not in charge anymore. I mean right, that's why Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer were there in January. They will take control. Yeah, he tried to. He tried to slight. It looks like Nancy Pelosi a little bit because she doesn't have that control, you know. In other words, yeah she did. And if you saw it, did you see Vice President Pence in the background, No, I didn't pay attention to. Oh yes, he was on the side. Yeah. Yeah, he was closing his eyes, looking Christmas around around like he was lacking position. Yeah, exactly, exactly. Oh, he he wanted to be anywhere else, but he never went Hey, guys, come on, I mean nothing, he didn't no, no, no, But I love all the pictures on social media Nancy Pelosi when she left her and Chuck Schumer. She put on her glasses and her red coat. Yes, I don't want to start talking about fashion like that guy. But okay, I didn't see that in the Strawberry letter earlier. Yeah yeah, but we we you know, we can't go on like this. I mean, things are going to change in January when the Democrats take over the House. You know it will change. You won't be able to do these, you know type of things. Just shut it down like this, don't do Try to work together, try to reach over and and do some bipartisanship here. You know, that's what it's going to take, both parties working together. His hat needs to change to make a make America hate, because that's all he's done, made America hate. Yeah, low approval rating too right now? Yeah yeah, Well, hopefully he won't shut down the government, but he says he will. Hopefully he won't, but he'll do it.

We will be back with closing remarks from the one and only Steve Harvey right after this at forty nine. After you're listening show, here we go, last break of the day, Steve. You're closing remarks for us. Hey, let me give you this thought that will help you out. Oh about other people's opinion. Don't let other people's opinion determine your direction. Don't let other people's opinions affect your direction. Let me explain something to you. They don't know. They actually do not know what's best for you. Most people don't, even people who are well meaning. They just really don't know the answer to your success lies. Really, I'm telling you, between you and the relationship you have with God. God is in the dream come true business and whatever he puts in your imagination, that's what he had for you. We've covered this last week. But if you're gonna allow people's opinion, other people's opinion to affect your direction, you are now being guided by some people other than you, And God, what do they really know another thing about other people's opinion. You gotta be careful of them because sometimes you need to look very closely at the person that's providing the opinion. Look at them. Some of them really really shouldn't be an advisatory capacity. They really shouldn't. Man, it's some people passing out advice in your life that hain't that ain't took their own advice. It's some people giving you advice who need to be advised. It's some people giving you advice that don't listen to nothing nobody else got to say. And their life is just an example of it. They are walking results of their of their opinion of them, sales, and and and and the and their ability to follow directions. So you gotta be careful when you're taking directions from other people, because everybody don't mean well, they don't even when they think they do. Man, how many times man in my life, Man, if I let somebody give me an opinion about me, an opinion which I should have never have listened to it. You know, I'd say this all the time. I was watching um um um or Joel Osteen on TV, and he said people's opinion of you is none of your business, nor should you make it yours. It doesn't matter what their opinion of you is. It just doesn't matter because God is in the come get you business. Let me tell you something, man, whoever you are right now, I'm gonna tell you a story I heard one time. It's called it's like the Thomas and the Boat story. This man named Thomas one day was out on the boat by himselves, a beautiful day. It's out there sailing on a boat, and a storm came up out of nowhere, and it capsized the boat. And he was way out and he was lost at seat. But he got lost, and he got washed up on a deserted islid, and so he got up. He woke up, he shook up pretty bad, and he found himself on his deserted olive. He didn't know where his boat was or nothing. He was just sitting there because the boat it capsized, and so he's sitting there. So days went by, days and days and days went by. He just out on his olive, just trying to make it work, running out of food. He can't get nobody's attention. He drawing notes in the sand and stuff helped. Nothing. Planes going by, He don't he waving, don't nobody see him. He just on this olive. So weeks it went by. So he got kind of crafty, so he decided one day to build himself some shelter. He took some bamboo and some banana leaves, and he built, you know, a little covering just for some shelter at night. And this is going along pretty good for a few days, but he getting a little bit more and more depressed because nobody can find it. I mean, it ain't a boat going by or nothing. And it just started getting real down on itself because his predicament seemed so unbelievable. So he made a fire like he do usually at night, and a wind came up, and when the wind came up, a couple of the sparks hit the shelter, these dried banana leaves and bamboo, and caught it on fire. I mean a horrible fire. It's just burning it down. It had been raining that night, man, and it started raining real bad, and he trying to stay warm, and all of a sudden, sparks catch holding. All of a sudden, his whole, his whole, how was little hut temporary shelter is on fire, and he just through now and he's just going, God, where are you? Man? I'm so, what are you doing to me? Now? I've been out here weeks. I can't get off this olive. You don't hear me? And now you didn't burn down my shelter. I mean, it's just a fire, just burning. And he's standing there, man, just complaining and telling God how he didn't forsake him, and he didn't forgot he was out here in all this trouble, being out here all these weeks, Lord, where are you now? And all of a sudden he saw some flashlights and he saw some people running up on shore, and he couldn't believe it, but some people had had found him, And he said, man, I've been out here for weeks. What did y'all do? How did y'all find me? They said, we saw your smoke signal that you sent up. We just responding to your smoke signal. He just dropped down, started crying because he thought God had forsaken him burn up his hut. But see that disastrous moment right there turn out to be just what he needed. That smoke sign and they saw that what he thought was a disastrous farm. The one ship that was going by saw the flames and the smoke, and the resident.
