Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time y'all don't know. Y'all have a suit on, back down, giving them like Amian buck things and it's not me true good Steve Hartley, I don't join me. You gotta use that turn you. You gotta turn to turn them out. Got to turn out the water, the water. Come come on your baby, Uh huh, I show will good morning everybody, y'all listening to the voice, Come on dig me now. One and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Man got a radio show because God is in the blessing business. I just happened to be a recipient. I just happened to got a couple of things right, and man, his grace and mercy carries you the rest of the way. All you got to do is get a couple of things right, and then his grace and his mercy will take over his favor, his love of you. It's it's already evident. I mean, you know, because so many times we go along without even acknowledging him or conferring with him in our decisions, and we look up when we find ourselves in a predicament, and he always comes to the rescue. He always manages to show up. He's never too late, he's never one minute too late. And so in light of this today I wanted to talk to you about something. It's another principle of success that I'd like to share with everybody this morning. And once again, these are not things that you don't know or you've never heard before. These are just reminders along the way. And one of the things you have to be conscious of is don't be afraid to change. Don't be afraid to change because change is coming anyway. See, I have a theory, don't be afraid to change because change is coming anyway. You know, everything changes, nothing remains the same nothing, and change is inevitable. Now, you could participate in the change, or you can react to the change. Are you following me. You can participate in the change or you can react to the change. But don't be afraid to change because change is coming anyway. Now, what I mean by that is this, in participating in the change or reacting in the change, there is a difference. See, if you react to the change, that means the change has occurred and now you have to make the necessary adjustments to the change. Example, the boss walks in. You think your job is good. The boss walks in and hands you a pink slip. That right there, that's a change. Now you didn't participate in this change because you didn't ask for the pink slip. But now you got to react to the pink slip. Whenever you have to react to the change, it's an adjustment period. It almost throws you off. So change is going to come. It always does. You could participate or you can react. Or let's say your boss comes in and hands you the pink slip and you said, you know what I've been preparing for this day. Always knew nothing. Last forever, I've been working on the sideline, on the business idea I had and I had, or I had several other applications in around town. I was just holding off to see what was going going. So when they hand you the pink slip, the transition, the adjustment you make is a lot more smooth a transition because now you just transition into your new business I did that you've been working on, Or you transition into the apps you already had in or the contacts you made the preparation for. When the day they're coming in hand, you the pink slip we stee what did they surprise you with it? This is just one example I'm giving you. So you know, let's not nick pick the message. So what I'm saying to everybody is, don't be afraid to change, because change is coming anyway. So many people are stuck in a rut because of your our refusal to change. I was hell bent on a certain thing going a certain way, and this is how I was going to go. Well, that that I was thinking didn't really fit. Now in my own personal experience, this may not be yours, but in my own personal experience, the things that I've had the most trouble letting go of was something I wanted when I line myself up with the will of God to ask God what he wanted for me. You understand, those things came a lot more easy to me because it was in the will of God. It was what God wanted me to do too. Okay, see what you mean by that? Okay, here we go. When things were going wrong in relationships for me, what I did was the biggest mistake I've ever made, was I attempted to fix what was wrong in my relationship outside of the relationship filming. Okay, so I'm out there working my groove like I want to. Well, now, guess what, there's a cause and effect for all of that too. Your house ain't gonna get better, it can't. And then that lady's room for some other things. And so now that when the change come, guess what, I gotta react to it. Now, I gotta, I gotta, I gotta have a reaction to it. Had I lined myself up in the will of God, the transition may have grown differently. It could have still ended the relationship. But guess what, some of the pain I was in I ain't had to go through. I bought a lot on myself. Sometimes you're pursuing a passion of yours, and what God really wants you to do is pursue your gift. So now you're pursuing your passion. Right, you're passionate about golf. You love golf so much you just determine. But now you're messed around. You ain't made it on the PGA Tour yet, and you fortify still talking about I'm gonna play on the PGA Tour. Really, Okay, maybe you ain't as good as as you think, or maybe you're not as gifted as you think. Maybe you're pursuing a passion. Sometimes, man, we have to change and we have to ask God what is his will? His will is much simpler. It's a simpler rule. Not going to be easier, it's simpler. See when I wake up. Now, it's simple for me to wake up because I know that are a few things that I have to do. I have to click this mic on. I have to be positive. I have to be inspirational. I have to be in formative. I have to be uplifting. Got it, That's what he want. All I got to do is sit down, close my eyes, ask God to help me be who he want me to be. And for the most part, he tell me what to say. Now, guess what he's done though, to create this in me. I went through enough things in my life. I had enough challenges. I made plenty of mistakes. So I now, at my age, I can turn around and tell somebody listening to me, Okay, this is what I did. This is a mistake I made. Maybe you see yourself in this story right here. Maybe you don't have to go this way, or this is what I've learned about becoming successful. Here's a principle that I learned, but then guess what I had to be unsuccessful to get it, though did not. So you can't have a testimony without a test Change is coming, It's inevitable. You can participate or you can react. I much prefer to participate in the change. All right, let's go. You're show. Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. On this very blessed morning.

What do asses have to do with Luberderm? As she passed the ass shit ash?

Yeah, Sister Rose out of Beasley, I wrote a book called The Woman Owned the Porch down the street from the Lecerstoe next to the church parking lots. Ain't wait to read it. Yeah, that's the name of her book. It's called The Woman Owned the Porch down the street from the Lekustoe next to the church parking lot. She's asking h if Steve Harvey could hook her up with Simon and Schuster publishing company. Dude, you know Steve Harley. Oh yeah, do or look like to offer suggestion or to sister Beasley, Um, you want to have a title that can fit on the cover of the book, or the title should not be good reading, the good reading should be on the inside. Or that's just a suggestion of mind. I'm exhausted from the title. No one cares. We were. It was exciting when you said the woman on the porch, but then when you mentioned the fact that she was down the street or from the from the liquor stole across left to the church parking lot. But nobody gives a damn at that point what this book is about. It's too much. And plus she now, but that's like a roadmap to your house. You ain't gonna get no piece. Everybody know where you is now. But all you gotta do is backtrack it. You gotta do. Get down to this parking lot, then step over there, and that liquor stole that's right next to the church, that down the street, and then out there has to be sitting right there on the poach. Go here, all right, I sister Renee Dixon is throwing a lie detective party. Now. She invited all the men, but they have all rejected the invitations. She wants you to make all of them, uh attending the party. Yo, car pass We're not We're not gonna do that, sister Dickerson. And you understand why who is the lie detective party? For? You know we're lying. I know we lying. They all know they're lying. You a fool. That's that's the only truth. That's party. Now, you got to hear this right here passing it's a mist and jumped out. Now I want you to listen to it now, mister Belinda Yates, as you know, who's always gossiping, said that she saw brother Craig Colin's car his truck outside of ball all night. Now she didn't call it. Every member told him to. His truck is outside the club out night. He's a drink woman chasing need to be put out the church. Brother Collins didn't say nothing. You No, Sister Colin only lives. She only lives Sister West and she only lives full houses down from the church. So let me tell you what brother Colin did Saturday night. He parked his truck outside her house and left it there. And Sunday Martin, everybody that saw his truck sitting out there on their way to church, she is lived past it. She is lived. Yeah, got her. I thought that was a gangster move on. Brother Collage Park said she want to start a rumor. The best thing is to be in the room. So that's how you you heard this, saying, oh, what is the one that's most appropriate for this situation? Closed mind house, don't get fed. That probably has nothing to do with this, but I wanted to say it anyway, so I said it. I've always wanted to preach that as a sermon, closed mouth, don't get fed, and but an open mouth gonna have to eat a lot for sugar honey ice tea. Oh think I found it. That's the message for sister being a closed mouth, don't get fed, but an open mouth gonna have to eat a whole lot or sugar honey iced tea and let it flow.

As promise of family members on the phone, this brother right here is, simply put, is just one of the greats period at this thing that's a very specialized skill set called stand up. I know who they are. There may be some up and comers that I'm not aware of or familiar with because I'm not out there touring. But if you are of the status of greatness as a stand up, there is no way I don't know you. It's no way I ain't work with you. The brother that I'm introducing is greatness.

And this is what I want to say to people, the reason and quake said it just now he's done more mainstream press than he's ever done in his entire career. The reason it has taken thirty some years to see this brother finally get a special it is because, and I'm going to tell you all facts now, it is because the powers that be on HBO Show Time, those powers that be. They did not. The white people who make the decisions who greenlights these specials did not get Earthquake. They didn't get him. He was too black, he was too urban. What's he talking about? Have you all seen his ticket sales? Have you all seen the reaction that the audience has and well you said, don't about know that? Who you going? Man? White people would hear that and go, what is he doing? It's called killing. He's killing and he's ripping the room.

You have a rating of jokes, you know, folds it when they it's fillers. Three they work sometimes two they kind of slams. But one that means you can tell them at a funeral and they gotta laugh. This one works anywhere that you work. And Steve taught me that. He's like, get them all together, move your ground and then when you're ready to cut a specially when you're ready to headline, line up all your ones. If you line them all your ones and then I do rapid five, I put them all in ones and don't put nose flack on it, then you can go behind anybody.

Then the path for talking and then they said he didn't. Don't you got you gotta have one for those you got one for. I'm gonna tell you something about earthquake. Earthquake is from that era where he had to follow everybody in front of him was great quake. I don't know if you remember this night in Dallas, Texas out the outdoor Amphitheater by Coca Cola. It was Joe Torrey, Jay Anthony Brown, Steve Harvey, Bernie Mack, Bill Bellamy, an earthquake man. That was the line up. So what Quake is saying is, man, you had to be able to follow everybody out there kill it. So when you hit them too, famous words, the most fearful words in show business. When you hear him, you got to be ready. You next an earthquake. I didn't kill where you slotted him. He was always ready to be next. He comes from that era of some bad boys. I'm so proud of you, man, I can't even tell you. I feel like I'm getting a special I do. He's a comedians comedian. Baby Quake. Sit right there, man. We're gonna keep Quake on because this is our boy. Tonight everybody has starts on Netflix. It's called Earthquake Legendary. Oh Lord, make sure you get it. Watch it over and over and over. We'll be back with more Earthquake right after this. You're listening, right, everybody, We're back and on the phone. We got us this morning because his Netflix series starts this evening, and the special on Netflix is called Earthquake Legendary. So quick, let me ask you a couple of questions, man, about what's going on in the world today Friday. You know, President Biden nominated a federal appellet Judge Cotanji Brown Jackson to become the first black woman to serve on the US Supreme Court, and we really kind of hopeful that the Senate gonna confirm her as soon as possible. You got any thoughts on this at all? Well, First of all, any sister got three names is qualified. Second of all, U you know, I think that's first of all. Second of all, when I found out she used to be a public defended Sometimes somebody at the highest court understand the judicial system at his lawers level, I think to sit there. You know, I heard she did pro bono work and had a major law firm represent one of her family members pro bono to help them with a life centers on a non valance charge. You need those type of people in that room to get the perspective for all people. For the little longest, they just had people from one perspective of the law. You need some people who's going through, preferably people such as ourselves. I tell people all the time, we are black people. We don't have no problem with the law. We have a problem with the enforcement of the law certain people who do not play the same price that other people doing, preferably my Caucasian brothers and sisters. So you know, I'm looking forward to it. I believe anything wouldn't come to a black woman, you know what I mean, because they're the reason why where will we at? We have men, our men has been riding the coattails and the back of black one our women for essentially, So I'm proud of it. I hope you get confirmed what you know, how it is Lindsey Graham and the rest of them and whos talking about his discriminatory has the scriminatory Can we get one chip from the cookie? Because I don't even look at the other brothers on our side, So can we get one chip? Yeah? That cookie right there? Boy, I swear I don't know what they did to them, but they called them, they called them, robbed him of all his humanity on that black side. Yeah. Man, it's like it's it's so much happening out here that's going crazy. Man, that's going to take a different perspective of them right now. I have to watch what I say concerning this Russian Ukrane conflict. I gotta be careful with what I say. You know you don't because you don't. You know, you and Dave are very well. You gotta be careful. Let me take that back, because you gotta be careful because your asses on the neighborhood. Now you don't do any TV shows. So listen to me, man, that's the Quake I know right there. Tonight, everybody, the first special premiers on Netflix from the Chapelle Home Team series, and I'm just gonna flat out tell you right now, this is gonna be the best one. I don't even know who the other ones are. I'm pretty sure they're real good. I'm pretty sure they share greatness. But in my heart, Steve Harvey's hard nephew, Tommy's hard, kids hard, those of us that do it. And then women and the girls that have loved Quake for all these years, we could not be happier or more proud of somebody getting the shot. And I'm gonna tell you one other thing too, Quake. This is just the first one, because after this one, they're gonna give you another one. Watch what I tell you. I was a twenty two year old comedian. The only reason why I know what the improv looks like is because quake pull is the first one to put me in the aliast room. I appreciate you for that, man, Well, Steve did it for me and he always quake listen. Man, I love you, man, we love you. Keep doing your thing. Man, congratulations.

My son used to say it time for the frank phone call with the nephew. What you got for his nap? Comb? Alright? Alright? You know we have some rough beginnings. We do.

Happy endings, cat dog. If you would hello, Depian, just duty speaking. How may I help you? Oh yeah, I'm trying to me and get some therapy done. I was in an accident at my job. You know, I got injured like a week and a half ago. I ain't been able to go back to work for my back and my league they say, you know, I haven't broke any bones in none, but it's you know, it's real so or real steal, hard to get out of bed. So I wanted to see you know what it takes to get a therapist and get started getting some type of treatment. Okay, well, sir, what we typically do is we ask for our patients to come in, you know, check out our facility and so we can also accept you you know, see where the damage is, the majority of it, and you know, then get you to a therapist. So if you would like to come in, we can definitely do that for you. Okay. Do you know what the therapists actually do when they do in the treatment. Well, if you come in, sir, we can definitely direct you to any of our three therapists that we have on site right now, but each one specializes in a particular field, so it's more beneficial for you if you come in and then we can assess you and then direct you to that particular therapist. Okay, so you said, how many y'all do y'all have? We have three. There's Marty, Brenda and Cecilia here. Okay. The person that referred me to y'all told me that Cecilia was the one that had worked on Is there a way I could talk to Cecilia? Typically, we normally ask my patience to come in then let me see if she's available right now. I know earlier she was was a patient, so let me just check really quick. I mean, if she is available, then I can I can transfer you. Okay, Okay, okay, I just hold on, Okay, hold on, Hi. This is Cecilia. Yeah, Miss Cecilia trying to come up there and get some therapy done. I heard my back and my leg at work. I mean they are they already told me was nothing broken, nothing, But I wanted to see what exactly do y'all do is for? Is physical therapy? You know, what exactly will I be doing well when you come in, we'll do a consultation and you know, will massage you and take X rays and put you in a whirlpool up and there are several different things that we can do for you. Okay, is it a certain timeline? I mean, like, how long would it take before I can get back to work, because you know, I've been awful about a week nine. I'm trying to get back within the next couple of weeks. But it's taking me, like, you know, at least thirty minutes to get out of bed because of my back in my leg. Oh wow, Well you need to come in as soon as possible because that's something like that's pretty bad. Okay, Well, let me ask you this hill. After people get through doing the therapy, do y'all have happy endings? Happy endings? What do you mean by happy endings? How happy end is? Like, you know, when therapy is over with, you know, do would you yourself? You know, would you do happy endings at the end? Okay, I'm still not understanding what do you mean by happy endings? What are you talking about? Okay, say, like if I come over then and go through a session or whatever for about an hour. When we get through you know, when you kind of like, you know, close the dough and and you know, you know, do happy endings, you know, and make me feel good. Okay, um, close the door. I'm still not quite understanding what you mean by happy ending, sir. Okay. What I'm trying to say is like, when we get through with the procedure, uh, you know, make me feel good in a in a nice uh you know, sexual way. You know, happy endings. When Judy sent you back to me, what are we talking about with this happy ending thing? Because I don't I don't. I didn't ask something about the happy ending? Is that that right there just gonna be between me and you? We'll see. I don't. I don't plan it. I don't know. This is a place of business. We're professional here. We do therapy for people who are seriously being hurt. This is not the nearest for we're talking about happy endings after we finish with that. What's not a place? Do you think this is? Well? I mean, I know it's I know it's therapy, But I mean, if people going through that much pain at least have some type of happy endings, don't you think well, I think you might suggest your significant other Okay, so you wouldn't be up for doing a happy ending for hell, No, ain't interested in that. Look, man, what kind of this you call about talking about? You heard? Hell? Have you heard? You shouldn't be talking about be ended? You're talking about it? Okay? Hold on?

Let me say, if you have any young kids with you, you don't want them to hear this letter. Okay, that's my disclaim for this letter. Again. The subject is he won't let me lead. Dear Stephen Shirley. I'm a forty something married female and I know that my husband cheated on me for years, and I finally gave him an ultimatum at the end of January. We talked and both said we didn't want to end our marriage, so we decided to do things a little differently so he wouldn't get bored in the bedrooms. I met his girlfriend and she was honest about their relationship. She said it was only for the sex, and she'd been asking to involve me in their sex capades. I was drawn to her sexy lips and cute little hips, so I initiated the first intimate act with her. It was just me and her and we let my husband watch. After that night, things immediately got better for my husband and I in the bedroom. Two weeks later, we invited her over for the weekend while our children were with my parents. Since it was my first threesome, I wanted to control the position, the lead, everything until I got comfortable watching him with another woman. We started off the weekend like we were at a resort. I got a charcuterie board and caviare and we put three big stakes on the grill. We enjoyed our hot tub and pulled together and my husband massaged us both in the bedroom. But then things went sour when the intimacy started. He was focused on her, and he was focused on her and ignored my request. They were next to me whispering to each other intimately, and when he got to me, the only whisper he gave me was to tell me I was ruining the night with all of my directions. I was stunned. When it was over, she decided to go home, and my husband got upset with me. I've tried calling her to fix things and she's not returning my calls. Have they shut me out? As he really really mad because I tried to lead, or because he wants this other chick? I think all of the above. Yes, he definitely doesn't want you involved. I mean I think that was pretty clear by the way he was acting. He just wants her for himself. Yeah, they've shut you out, and I got to ask you, why is this a surprise to you when you said you knew he had cheated on you for years. I think by participating, all you did was give him permission to continue cheating and continue with these affairs. Only now he can do it in your face because you gave him permission. You joined in. And while some men would love this gift that you gave your husband, you know, having three sums in all of that, it just seems to irritate him that you were even there. And but now both of them have a change of heart. Because the other woman who called you and said she wanted you to participate at first, it's like you're getting on her nerves too. I think that's because your husband empowered her with all that whispering and everything and being mad at you. So I say, put the ultimatum back on the table, because you're done with his cheating and you're no longer gonna go along with it. Right, that's not what you want. It's time for you to stand up for yourself and just let him know that he doesn't respect you. That's clear, he doesn't respect you or the marriage, and that may or may not change if you let him know how you feel. But moving forward, at least you can respect yourself at this point, all right, and make some decisions involving you, you know, and what you want. Steve, I can't believe his ragged as letter. I know. They just kept surprising me every time I ask some mo. It kept. Now the biggest surprise for me is later in the letter, so I won't I'm going The shock of the whole letter for me is later on. Okay, but I'm the whole Damn. You're forty year old. You knew your husband has cheated on you for years, for years, You've known this. I finally gave him an ultimatum at the end of January. We talked and we both said we didn't want our marriage to end. I mean, why would he. I can be married and you know I'm cheating and we still married. What is this ice cream and Kate too situation? Why? So here we go. We decided to do things a little differently so he wouldn't get bored in the bad room. Are you sure this was a weird decision? Oh? Well, let's go. I'm he was. He was that. That was a shocker. He was the next shocker. I met his girlfriend and she was honest about their relationship right there? Right? What? Who are you married to? Who's this got married to? Who's writing this letter? Suddenly? This is not from the people on this morning show. Colin Farrell is a stone cold killer. I can't imagine killer. No, no, stone cold killer. When the breaking, sugar gas tank, tire slitting shot, fine ass pupping, dope breaking, when the crashing, when she'll breaking and caller from back in the day, carler broker antenna off a dude car one time. Just you're not listening to the damn ray Hill card used to have antenna's on him. You're not listening to the Regil. When I come back, I'll tell you the rest of the shocking things that I discovered. All right, we'll have heart two of your response coming up. It's twenty three minutes after the hour. Today's subject he won't let Me lead. We'll get back into it right after this. You're listening Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, come on, Steve, let's recap today's strawberry letter. The subject he won't let me lead? All right, here we go. Funny, y'all, woman married to a man that she'd been knowing she'd been she'd been cheating on her for years. They sat down and finally issued an ultimatum. At the end of January. They both decided they didn't want their marriage to end, so they decided to change things up in the bedroom to stop some of the boredom. Then the lady out of nowhere, saying I met his girlfriend and she was honest about that relationship. She said it was only for sex, and she'd been asking to involve me in that escapade. Now, this obviously was exciting to you. You say you was drawn to her sexy, lipton, cute little hips. So I initiated the first intimate at with her and it was just me and her, and I let my husband watch what they don't. They don't look like fun to me. I don't sitting here watching on There's no way that's number one reads. I don't like strip clubs. It's all that's watching. See. I don't don't y'all, y'all see, y'all gonna see nothing about New Steve Harvet, no strip club that ended in my life long long time ago, because even for I was famous good. It's just what we were watching. I don't like watching. But if I ain't, this ain't for me. For participation. And you see, once you can't dance on me, then go dance on him, because now I'm gonna dislike your ass. The whole strip club doesn't work for me. See that's so anyway, that's a long story right here, here we go. After that night, things immediately got better for me and my husband in the bedroom. Two weeks later, we invited over for the weekend while her children were with my parents. Now he is a key. Since this was my first threesol, I wanted to control the positions. See now we go back to the title of the letter, lood he won't let me leave. I'm going to tell you why. In the second I wanted to control the positions and lead everything until I got comfortable watching him with another woman. We started off the weekend like we were at a resort. Now, hell is the most shocking line in the whole damn letter For me, I got a tratutary. What the hell is that? Oh, that's the most amazing thing. I got a tratutory board and caviare and put three fixtakes on the grilly. This is the most shocking line. Why don't we term about this fault? So this is about a threesome. Nobody give a damn what you eat hot to give a damn But they got these tra trudory boards at Kroger. You go down there by one of them got a little cold cut on a little saliment. No nobody to eat salimic bis damn self less. It's on a pizza. You can cut it all up next to some damn cheese, cut up next to it. What we fitn't have a threesome? Body give a damn what you got on this snap track? This was the and then put put three big steaks on the grill. Now here we go. Now back to the letter. We enjoyed our hot tub and pull together. My husband massage just both in the bedroom with things got a little side. When the intimacy started, he was focused on her and ignored my request. They were next to me whispering to each other intimately, and when he finally got to me, the only whisper he gave me to tell me you ruined and the like you're blowing it with all these damn instructures. Shut your damn mouth. You're talking too much. That isn't what this is, baby. All these traits do that sit over here to touch this right head, stand up, get up right here. Crawl over here, now, crawled back over that. Swim act like you swimming. Then lay down on your back backstroke. Now, put your tones up on the ear. Put your toe on your air. I can't put my toe on my damn you hold on. Put your knee get put your knee on your breath. I can't put my kneel for mother, the damn instructures. I was stunned. When it was over, she decided to go home, and my husband got up upset with me. I tried calling her to fix things. She's not returning my call. Have they shut me out? Is he really mad because I tried to lead her? Because he wants the other chick? What the hell? How stupid are you? Lady? Lady? First of all, let me give you some facts. The reason they don't want you to lead, it's because you can't try this. It's your first threesome. You passing out instructures that's not in the threesome law book. And you ain't never been in the threesome, so you don't know you're passing out instructures. Now here's what you don't know. The reason they know you was breaking the rules is because they haven't done a threesome before. Why would this lady want to introduce you intoday's sex capage? He said, Now, don't think she gonna go for it right now. So she hadn't bought another chicken. Now, they hadn't done it before. Now you're just in that talking all this damn talking. It ain't o time. What is you talking for? You're supposed to be watching and encouraging. Don't do that. That's too far back. Don't push your leg way over there? What did you doing? I got this? You can't drive.

You're listening to Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, guys, here we are last break of the day on this Monday. Before we get out of here, we got to say thanks to the legendary earthquake Earth. Yes, today is Netflix Special airs tonight on Netflix, of course, produced presented by Dave Chappelle. And I mean, finally an overnight sensation. He said, after thirty years, thirty years in the game, they'll never give up on your dreams, never quakes, living proof. It's love you ungratulations Qua Yeah, yeah, uh, you know, I was thinking about everything that's going on in the world, you know, I mean, it's just so much going on and there's so much, so many things happening that the new news causes you to pause on the old news and I've discovered something. It's an amazing trick they use. It's almost like a diversion, and they use news stories to create a diversion. So now everybody the latest thing is the Russians attacking the Ukraine. A minute ago, I thought it was the Rioters, I mean the Capitol building, but then I thought it was about us with voting rights acts. But then they did what they usually do with us. They rescinded the Voting Rights Act again. And it just goes on and on and on, and you forget that people are fighting for some basics like food, like education. You forget that we have a drug epidemic in this country that we still have not addressed. That the United States has more drug addicts in it than anywhere else in the world. The United States purchases more drugs than anybody else in the world. The United States leads the world in prescription drugs sales, America leads the world and incarceration, and we all know who that is. So as we look at all these new stories that come out that divertiye At tension, which is almost how we almost never get anything solved around here, because every time we get close to passing the law, voting on something that's important to us, something else happens around the world or to us, and the attention goes there, and then the enthusiasm and the rush dies down, and things go on and on and on, and the beat goes on and on and on, just like it always has, like it always did before. You know, the thing that keeps me centered in all of this, what keeps me in the center of the hurricane. I reside in the eye of the hurricane, where there's very little wind, there's peace, there's tranquility, and I'm not caught up in the sword world that is the tornado. See when the tornado comes through, I should say the eye of the tornado. I sit in the eye of the tornado because the world that's swirling around me everything, I get to sit in the eye and watch it for the most part. Well, Steve, how you do that? Because I got a relationship with my heavenly Father who gives me peace, an abiding peace, not fun. I said peace. See a lot of people confuse that what is peace? Well, peace to me is joy is that I have lied. I have found how to find joy in the middle of my troubles and hardships because I know for a fact that this too shall pass. I know for a fact that this adversity that I'm going through is preparing me for something that I ask God for. I know it because I've seen it happen over and over and over again. So even when I'm getting tossed, even when I'm being talked about, even when it seems like it's going all wrong, I managed to have peace, a certain amount of joy that I hang on to because I have a relationship with my heavenly Father that allows me to be still, hold my peace, let him fight my battles. Oh, I can't count the times I've wanted to say something. Oh. I can't tell you how many times I wanted to straighten some people out. Oh. I can't count the times when I knew the real facts and I allowed the lies to be told. Can't you say that, y'all? Don't you know how many times you've known the truth about you in spite of what they were saying. Do you know how many times you knew the real deal when they was explaining it in the other deal that you wanted to say something that could have straightened it all out, but you didn't because you didn't have to. Because he fights my battles, he holds my peace. So as the swirld goes on around me in this world and they say you ain't gonna get this, you ain't gonna get that, I look up and I realize I have everything that I've not been denied anything in my life. And it didn't matter what nobody said. That same piece, that same joy is available to you. That relationship with God can be yours. All you got to do is open up your heart and accept him. Just say, hey, come into my life. I accept you. I believe even you. I need your help today because I can't do this by myself. Just say it. Try. I dare you. I bet your life a star going better. Bet what you bet. Try. Those are my closing remarks to day. Hope it helps somebody. Hey, listen, y'all talk to God. He'd love to hear from your Kate. See you tomorrow for all.
