Y'all know what time to y'all don't know, y'all bag all suit looking back to back down, giving the mo like the moking buck bus things and it's cub y'all do me true good to Steve Hardy, Yeah, listening to me toach other for still farther to Moby, I don't join yea yeah, well hobby joining men say you got you turn hur go, yeah, you gotta turn't the turn at the time, you lobby got to turn out to turn the water the water go? Comey, come on your back at it? Uh huh, I sure will. Hey, good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, Come on dig me now, one and only. Steve Harvey got a radio show. I've been saying it like that since I got it, too. I figured why I stop now. A lot of people get bored with stuff that works for them because they just want to do something different. Sometimes, man, repetition is good. Sometimes repetition is good over and over and over until it becomes second nature, and then it's almost like you ain't doing it at all. That's what I found. That's just a little piece of information. Y'all probably already know that. Though sometimes I'm just a reminder. That's it, all right. I gotta go one for you today. Yesterday, the other day, I was talking to you about the most effective weapon available to us as human beings, I think is prayer. I think prayer helps us in so many ways. But right now, what I wanna do is want to show you how prayer pays off. I want I want to show you what good it can do for you. Even me, I use it every day, and and the days I don't use it, I feel it that that, you know, the days that I go, you know, without talking to him as much, I notice it. I feel it. I feel a certain kind of way, you know, those uh, those that doubts starts slipping in again, that uneasy feeling of uncertainty slips in again, That that wondering what I'm gonna do start slipping in again. Happens to me, happens everybody, man, I think, I really really do you know, people would just keep it real with each other. Stop being this Christian this superman, because you ain't. You ain't the scripture that says that's none perfect, no not one, that's everybody, that that that covered all of us, don't it? So sometimes I think we're a little too hard on each other with that too, seeing it's how we're not perfect. Immediately want to just just oh man, you just want to kill when we find somebody do something wrong. But if you go public, everything go public now called social media. But anyway, I just want to talk to you about how prayer pays off. It's called all eye and money. People got money call it all eyes a return on investment. People always looking for a return on investment. You know, nobody, nobody in business really gives you money without understanding the return on investment. They don't even give money to charities unless they think it can do something with the bottom line. A lot of companies work like that. I found out out myself. Sad, but it is true. So since everything is expected to work on a return on investment, assume because we're human beings. So since we're all human beings, whether you're in business or not, you're still in the business of living. I think when you pray, you should expect a return on your investment. You talked to him, you spend time opening up to him, You bowed your head to him, you humbled yourself, you got on your knees. I mean, but really we're talking God here, so really, what you're doing ain't really about nothing. Be honest with you. A little bit that you do do on his behalf. It it just pales in comparison with what he does. But let's just say you want to call yourself invested, Well, let me show you how it pays off this because see, for me, this is for me. Now, pray pays off in different ways. That's what I had to learn. See, I was praying, but I was asking him specifically for what I wanted. I had the audacity, though, to turn around and tell him how to do what I wanted. That's amazing. Man. I can't tell you how many blessings I blocked coming my way by putting my faith in what I said I wanted and how I wanted him to do it. I want you to give me this. I want that person to go away. I want this person to accept everything you say. Then I want to go over here, and I want this deal to happen like this, And I want that person to just step aside and let me let me through. And then I wanted I was I hadn't mapped out. God must have been chuckling really hard. He had been going, boy, I made you to be funny. But boy, you're funny now. So you're gonna tell me how to do it. And you've all heard this right here. If you want to make God laugh telling me your plan, well that's what I did. And that's how we pray. A lot of times we pray, and we pray in the prayer with telling him how to work it out. Well, here's the deal. This is what I've learned. Prayer pays off in different ways. There's a different return of my investment when I pray. See, sometimes when I'm praying for something, a situation to dissolve itself or go away, sometimes I get courage out of the prayer. Prayer provide as me courage. That's just to go on and look at it. I guess face it. Then. Sometimes when I'm praying about a situation, sometimes prayer gives me hanging power. Sometimes, man, it just I look up and I'm just handling it better. Sometimes prayer gives you laugh at off power. Sometimes, man, you just got to laugh at off whatever. Man, you trip it, do you know what that is? If you could do that, you know, Sometimes it gives it gives you a show of strength, power. Sometimes prayer allows you to have the appearance that you got it all together. Nobody got to know the world. When the tornado, the hurricane, the swirling in your life, you're standing over there like the eye of hericane. You just and it's all swirling around you. But you standing there like the eye, you just as calm. That's what prayer does. So when you pray, man, it builds up a lot of things in you. You know what it's done for me. Prayer has built up character in me. It's made me have more character because I'm able to stand stronger on the things I say because I've been praying, because I've been asking God for all of those return of investments. I've been asking God for courage. I've been asking God for hanging that power. I've been asking him to give me the power to walk away. I've asked him to give me ignored power. I've asked to help me laugh at off. I've asked him to show me straight. But you know what I was doing, I was really praying, not really for them things be real with you. I was asking them to help me, Lord, help me. You ever done that? You have asked God for help and then all of a sudden, the list of these things show up. See, sometimes how you want the problem to be solved ain't the best way. There's a lesson to be learned when we make mistakes. And sometimes you got to stay in that fire and you gotta learn that lesson. But guess what, though, when you come out of it, you're gonna be better for it. You're gonna know more about it. Come on, y'all, pray. Ain't nothing wrong with it? You didn't tried everything else. Look where you're at now? What about prayer? Yew? People kill me? Man trying to talk me off this hustle right here. God ain't this, and God ain't You're on? They're on. The Lord left me. Lord don't leave no body man. Look at your decisions. God has never left you. You turned your back, you went the other way, You tried something else, You you you, you, you took another swing, You win another route. You look for an alternative solution. That was you. That ain't never him. He's solid, His word is true, It lasts forever. He do what he said, gonna do now all day, all night, twenty four seven height, he do it all day, all night, and then some more his word, don't ever change. It's true. It works for me. It worked for you. It worked for Jake's It worked for Old Steam, It worked for Kirk Franklin, It worked for Paula White, It worked for Billy Graham. It worked for Mother Teresa. It worked for Gandhi, It worked for Princess Arabs. It worked, man, it worked for you. What you're waiting for? Why don't you put praying your game? Watch what happened to you? You're sitting in that jail cell and you're struggling with it, and they're telling you bloody and blood out, you can't get in you. That's foolishness, man, What you mean God can get you out of anything. Look, man, if you hadn't read your Bible, he didn't got some people out some sticky situations. I don't know what you're talking about. If Daniel was in the lions den and Jonah was in the belly of the whale, what you're talking about? Where you are? You just sitting in the sale with some dudes around. You're talking about what they're gonna do. Man, you gotta be real. God can't nothing do nothing. Nobody, can't nobody do nothing to you? God won't give you to strift to handle. Prayer changes things. Man, you're listening out, ladies and gentlemen, boys and people. Do anybody listen to me? You're about to witness what's called mayhem, organized people help people missing, coming going walking out. It's just just crazies and all listen people coming back. Yeah, just got to do with management and on the shield. Just seem like, don't nobody give a damn. We got to stop. All is not caring, nothing to laugh about. This is nothing about.

Explain what you were doing, Steve. Now I ain't also explain what you were doing. You were eating. It's called intermitting fast. Okay, you eat eight hours and you fast for sixteen What I was so, I was eating from twelve noon to eight at night. Wow, and then once eight at night came. I didn't need to get into twelve news.

Alright, this Sunday is Mother's Day.

He passed away in two thousand and nine and I ended up going back to get my g D. My prophet is at church sick. He went back and got your g e D. Yes, sir, really yeah, alright, No, you were just talking about your church imployding of a role they played in your most definitely and as you went into law school how how did they keep you going? Um? Actually, law school was so far from my mind. Like I said, I was a high school dropout. Um. And when the father of my children passed away, my pastor at Ministers for Christ, her name is Louise Holme, and she said, God told me to tell you you need to go back and get your g D. And I said, I'm too old, I have too many children. And she said obedience is better than sacrifice. And yeah, what a story she has. Though he meant her back stay, she was using yes the spirit and her five kids were right there to see her through it. On the high school dropout went back, got a g e D. Then with the college come on, and then with I can't do this, come on that which baffles me. By my nephew, would he struggling with everything? Bathing for one about sixteen? Oh wow, we can't get him to learn obeyed? That is an incredible that at the camp. I want to bring him down to the camp. He really needs some motivation. I want him to so what I'm doing ain't work. He ain't win a year without somebody asks in the woods. I supposed to say that, though, tell me this little boy rees man with my greatest example from time he got off a bus man. We couldn't do nothing with this boy. This little boy was honor me, man, get your hands off me, don't get out of my face. I ain't doing nothing, y'all tell me, dude.

All right, Steve, let's go ahead and transfer on over to Ms Dan Ages and gentlemen, without further do our very own talented informative miss and trip. Thanks Steve. Good morning everybody out there, this is a trip with the news. Let's get started. Rumors, Yes, they were true. Apparently, President Trump says he is pulling the United States out of the Iran nuclear Deal and he's promising to reinstate quote, the highest level of economic sanctions unquote. It is clear to me that we cannot prevent an Iranian nuclear bomb under the decaying and rotten structure of the current agreement. The deal lifted economic sanctions on Iran and exchange for limitations on his nuclear program. Of course, the president's decision now raises questions as to whether Iran is going to continue to hold up its end of the multinational agreement negotiated by former President Obama and five other world powers. By the way, the other world powers say they're going to keep with the agreement, They're gonna still trade, and they're still not going to the lifting their sanctions against Iran. So it's all very very tricky. We'll see what happens. Housing and civil rights advocates are suing the Department of Housing and Urban Development, as well as HUT Secretary Dr. Ben Carson over the department's planned to suspend a rule that requires communities to fight segregation in housing The suit was brought by the National Fair Housing Alliance and two Texas based organizations. The accused HUT of unlawfully suspending an Obama era fair housing provision that mandated that state and local government's taken billions in federal funding have to for that money work towards rooting out discriminatory housing practices. The suit asked the court to force Housing and Urban Development to reinstate the rule. Earlier this year, Ben Carson put the anti discrimination rule on hold, asking allowing cities to put off complying with it until after the year, and that's whether suing. According to The Guardian newspaper, cops in California dispatched a bunch of squad cars and even a helicopter last month to detain three young black women who were simply coming out of their Airbnb rental in Rialto, a city about sixty miles east of l A cops stay. A white woman called on to say that women were taking luggage out of the house, so that they were probably rob turns out all three were filmmakers. One is the late Bob Marley's granddaughter. They filmed the exchange put it on Facebook. They told the first cop on the scene that they were Airbnb renters. He said, I never heard of Airbnb. The other officers had, they canceled the copter. Last week, cops in Colorado removed two Native American teenagers from a college touring bus because a white parents said they didn't look like they belonged. The NFL Players Union has filed the grievance against the National Football League on behalf of Colin Kaepernick's friends, safety Eric Reid, who knelt beside his teammate during the twenty sixteen season.

Uhum, Gabrielle Union and Jada Pinkett they're saying this beef that they supposedly had. Uh, it's a media creation, That's just what it was. The media created it. They hyped it. Sure. Jada Pinkett Smith recently revealed that she and Gabrielle ended their seventeen year feud, except no one really knows how it even got started. How did the beef start? Gabrielle Union doesn't even know. Uh. While promoting her new Facebook show, Red Table Talk, Jada told Extra that she and Gabby haven't been speaking, haven't been on speaking terms over this fight that she can't even remember. So they haven't been talking. They don't even know why they haven't been talking. But now the Gabrielle Union she has explained her side of the story. During the chat with Hoda Kadby on the Today show, Take a listen, Jada nor I ever used the words huge, So it just became more of a media a media creation, kind of like back in the day. Neither one of us actually knows what originally, you know, took place back then, but the people we had around us, We're like, well, you know how she feels about you, and they were like, well, you know how she feels about you? And then it was like okay for garl B for seventeen years. And even though we're both very outspoken women were both activists, our husbands or friends I've worked with, our husband, we were we both felt we had too much pride and too much insecurities to just say, hey, did that ever actually happen or was that a creation someone else who did not want to see two women rise together? Because we're both talking about, you know, how to stop you know, human trafficking, sexual trafficking, We're both outspoken about, you know, black lives matter, We're both outspoken about so many things in our community, and we both have huge platforms. Imagine if we came together and that's what we actually talked about on her show, how we got over ourselves, how we both evolved, no feud excellent. You used to go around. Yeah, yes, you're the one that gets mad and stuff speaking speaking for just get mad and I still get mad. I mean we all do. You would have some non speaking weeks though you know that.

Hello, this is the day that the Lord is made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it. How you doing? I'm looking for this is full from the church. How are you? Oh, I'm brother Fuller. How are you? I'm good, I'm good. Um. We wanted to give you a call about the about the praise dancing. That's at the first of all. I wanted to really show you how much, uh, you're doing a great job over there with the praise dances and you you definitely do a great job on h Happy third Sunday that you guys actually perform. Everybody seemed to really like it. Well, thank you, thank you. What can I do for you today? It was a bit of a situation with um, you know it's been brought to our attention. We actually had a small gathering, a little meeting about it and wanted to I've been elected to actually give you all and who is this? I'm sorry, who are you kid, brother Fuller? Uh huh? And and who are meeting uh some of the brothers at the church and and uh path to actually sad in for a moment on it. And I was actually elected to actually just give you a call and and nothing that. I don't think we can't get rectified and you know, move on slouthly as we normally do. But I just think it's we wanted to reach out to you and kind of make you aware of it, if it's if you don't mind, okay, Um? And what things are those? Well? Since Tania has any of the praise dances they became praise dances? Was was was was any of them strippers? I beg your partners. Was any of the praise dancers that at the church that you have on the praise team right now with any of them strippers in the past. I'm sorry, sir, I don't I don't really know who you are, um, and I don't really understand this line of question. But like I said, i'm brother Full. I don't think we've met. But uh, like I said, I've been elected to give you a call. Not now. It seems like what happened is this past week when you all actually uh danced, it seemed like a couple of the girls was actually a gy raiding during the praise routine. Hey what chat raiding? Brother Full? I don't know who you are, and I don't know what you saw. None of my girls which I raiding. They were dancing for the Lord. And I think if you look through your Lord's I perhaps you would see them better instead of maybe you were looking through the chat rating. No, No, she's a couple of the girls. We can point them out. A couple of them have uh strip girl, a tendency is up. And then because some of them has been girls the disease. You know what, sir, I think we need to complete this call. Perhaps I need to compets up. But speak to him myself, because you know, I don't know what you do all days, but I have a real job and I'm sitting here holding the conversation in my office about jar rating strippers in the church. Are you kidding me? Listen now, here's a couple of things that they're talking about. Some of the girls feet a real ass you when you all a performance and they want to see and maybe you can you can. I don't know. Maybe I don't know if y'all need to grip or whatever that y'all don't. Y'all don't put lotion on. We're not sure what that is. As well as the total filers. Everybody has three, four, five different designs and everything is it? Any way, y'all can be in unison with you're toting upon us. But the most important thing ill the JI rating doing the dance routine. I don't know what your feet look like. I don't need you calling me talking to me about my girls their feet, their nail powers. Perhaps your man should be on Jesus instead of on out how about that man? From my mind, I don't have time. I don't have time. I don't want your mama and to be on Jesus when somebody's shaking them. But at the church, that's the problem, you know what. Look, I'm at work now, I'm trying to keep a work tone. You don't make me curse up there here. Now, let me tell you something. Don't call me anymore. I will deal with pastor. If he has something to say with me, he can say it to me personally. But I'm done with this conversation. Are you gonna deal with the jy rating? Is what we want to know? Maybe you know what? It just hit me. Maybe you're one of the ones that's doing the GI rate. Look, let me tell you something. My girls are gonna rating, and neither am I. Now I am done with this conversation. Do you understand? But listen, I'm done or you're done with this rating. That's what we want to stop so we can We can't praise the Lord if the booty isn't shake you know what chart? Look, I gotta go to work. I gotta go now again. I don't know what your issue is. It sounds to me like you have an issue which I rating booties. And I heard so much gyrating booties in one conversation in my entire life. My mind is set on Jesus, I don't know what you're man, it's set on what to tell you. Before you was a praise thence uh the ministry over the ministry? Did did you all use the strip didn't do no striping? Now did your wife do any striping? What did you I'm gonna do any striping? What did what? You heard? What I said you? How do you like? Somebody call? You would ask you if your mamma get some strip and how do you like that? You know what? I want to know? When is the next rehearsal? That the way I can come and pick out who it is that's doing this town. Well, you don't have you know, have any vinuges that my rehearsal. I don't want to see you at my rehearsal. I don't want to. I don't want to see any part for you in my rehearse if I see you near one of my girls. That's why I'm coming after you myself. Do you understand me? You need to find out who's doing that job. You need to say your but in your own high and I'm good y'all. Ain't this and when the plate is being plays, because it ain't no telling her you act with them one coming through it? You know what? That's it. That's it. You called me, disrespecting me. I'm at work. I can't even have this to more. You know what, don't call me no more, don't look at my girls no more. Man, come to the church and see what I got for you. I don't want know is you're gonna stop the job rating? What is doing moving? That's what they're gonna do. It You talking to like that you're supposed to be Anna yea does have done? Listen to tell you now I'm getting ready to get when I got one more thing to say to you? Pol your love, How you ain't got a thing to say to me? I said I was dealt, And I said I got one more thing to say? Is you listen? You know what? Man, get off my phone. I'm gonna say it anyway. This is nephew Timman from the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Your entire praise and ministry congregation, all your girls got me the frank phone called you. Oh I'm a shot for real.

Tell you what is the baddest radio show in the lad nobody else but the Steve Harvey More on the show that is praise dancing. You know what I'm saying, do a little scripping from it if you don't mind. Lord's Tommy, Oh Jesus, a little scripping substantly in my prayers. I can't hear you. I've never really I don't like you. Don't like praise dancing. It's not in the whole idea of the praise. No, you can the Lord are not in there. Well, I don't get the white face. That's what that's the mind turned around and the whole church seated. I can accept our love, you have it, but the white face praise dance and they're excellent. You guys just don't appreciate it. Art form. It's an art for I want the same pedicute, though everybody told God to be same. I don't like to do from sides of the people on the team. They don't look it, don't look the same at the big plation, it's not the same. Turn. You can't focus. I want you on that. Wait on somebody to catch up. Yeah. The little people turn all the way. They back around weird, quicker than the big room. Now, you gotta wait for the big When it turn around, you really spin and you're skinny. You come back around. Were waiting. See when you're big. It ain't a spin, it's a rotate. It's a turn of rotest. Not a spin, it's a rotate. And now we're just in here looking at this mayhem, this this organas turn once they come out that turn that they never get caught back. And then the big one got shot on. So when the arms spread out like the arms are not all the way up with the right right, your wings don't really look like wings. Right, Today's Strawberry letter.

And if you do want advice on relationships, on sex, on dating, on work, on parenting, whatever it might be, submit your Strawberry letter to Steve Harvey f M dot com and click submit draw Berry letter. All right, a special announcement that I'm just a side. I'm going to start a petition to praise Just please send it. Please sign your name. Your name will be held. I'm just looking for the sheer number of people listening with bugle up and hold on tight. We got it for you. Here. It is the Strawberry Letter. They're so stupid. Everybody wins. Subject don't hold my past against me, Dear ste even surely I have a question and I need your advice. When should I tell a new love interest that I have been to prison. I am not the average parole though I am an older woman that served a lengthy prison term as a first offender for transporting drugs. Since my release from prison, I have earned a degree and I have a great career for many years, I own a home, and I'm an upstanding member of my community. No one would ever believe that I have had a considerable amount of my life controlled by the Department of Corrections. So when is it appropriate to disclose this information to a man. I don't want to share it up front because I don't want to be judged unfairly. I also don't want to wait too long because I don't want to shot the man. In my last relationship, my man did not hold it against me. We broke it off for other reasons since him I met a man and we were talking about people being in prison and he had he had strong views against it, so I didn't pursue anything further with him to avoid telling him about my past. I want desperately to be in love, but I'm afraid to be open and honest with guys I meet. It may not be you know, it may not be that big of a deal, and I'm worried for nothing. What are your thoughts? Well, um, I think the timing is everything, and I think you should be honest with him. And you're right you shouldn't wait too long if he's a new love interest. I'm assuming that you guys are dating and going out to dinner and such things. So even though it's hard for you to bring it up because you don't want to be judged, you know you have to bring it up. So one night at dinner as early as possible, you know, if not the first date, the second date, go ahead and tell him. You know, people have to like you for who you are. You you you did what you did, You paid your debt to society. You spent many years in in prison. You said, now that's over. You know everyone gets a second chance. I think you deserve a second chance, and you've proved that with your second chance, you've become a better person. You say you're an upstanding member uh in your community, you own your own home, you've you've had a great career for many years. You have a degree. So I mean you're you're clearly a changed person. So if the person who you're with uh liked you, and UH you know if you once you tell them, excuse me, they like you for who you are, They're not gonna hold that against you. I mean, there have been many people out there that have done time and have gone gone on to do upstanding things, and I think you're one of those. So UM, tell him, tell him as soon as possible. First, just if not the first date, definitely the second date. Steve. First of all, congratulations, yeah on picking yourself up and turning yourself around. Shall I not say yourself, Let me say praise to God for picking you up and turning your round. That God is in the forgiving business. God is in the delivery business. God is in the dust. You off bin this. God is gonna make your dream come truely. You are a result of that, the fact that you're an older woman and you certain lengthy prison term as a first defender for transporting drugs. You've earned a degree, you have had a great career for many years, you own a home, and I am outstanding, upstanding member of your community. No one would ever believe you did a considerable at the time control by the Department of Correction. So when is it appropriate to disclose this information to a man. I don't want to share it upfront, and you shouldn't. This is nothing you need to share upfront. It ain't really ain't nobody's business yet now surely gives good advice. I happened to disagree with sharing this with a man on the first A second date, personal second date don't mean nothing. I think you reveal this information to a man once you all are about to be intimate. Then the relationship going somewhere y'all just talking and dating what it is now, if you feel like it's about to get intimate, then you need to reveal this information. And I'll tell you why. Because a man is now more vested in you, he's developed feelings for you without, as you say, being judgmental. Because remember the one guy she was liking and she tried to share it up from you know, uh, he set up and had really strong feelings about people that have been to prison from he's out, you know what I mean. So that has happened to her so rightfully. So she's concerned about running off a good man too early. So first and second date is out of the question. I disagree. I think it's something you keep. Let a person get to know you, get to understand how you are and feel you without having that information to taint who you really are, because it can happen, cause people are human beings. I got Should nobody judge everybody? Should faith take your faith value for what you are. That ain't how people are operating. Let's not be naive. So simple. You wait until you're about to become intimate, and then you drop it on it period. Now anybody don't like that information, I'm sorry, too bad, but that's when I would do it now. Any question, Shirley, I've been to the opinion you say that right now when you when it's about to become interested. Now, I don't have any questions. We we do disagree, I guess, go ahead, No, I guess we do disagree on that. I think you should the earlier, the better you know, and and give the person the other person the option of whether they want to continue the relationship. People do have strong Indians about you know, people who have been to prison. So I just say the earlier, the better timing is everything, of course, and you know, give them the option of whether they want to hang in there or get out. That's my opinion. Hanging there for what relationship? Ye gotten a degree? Got it? We'll finish this one, okay, all right, we'll be back with part two of Steve's response coming up at twenty three after the hour you're listening to Steve Show. All right, Steve, come on, let's go with part two of your response to today's Strawberry letter subject don't hold my past against me? See and the reason I think that, Well, this woman is questioning she needs some advice because she's been to prison before for a large part of her life, and she's wondering when is the right time to inform a man that she has been to prison because she's not the average parole lead. She says, she's an older woman, Sir, the lengthy prison time as a first defended for transporting drugs. But since her release from prison, she's earned a degree, she has a great career for many years, she's a homeowner and an upstanding member of her community. No one would ever believe that I've had a considerable amount of my life controlled by the Department of Correction. I think you have a fabulous story to him. I think that you are a story of redemption, overcoming, forgiveness, and God's grace. I think you have an incredible story to tell. I think if you told that story, if you peel back and remove the layer of secrecy as the story, this is my story, this is what I'm from, and this is what I've become, more people would resonate with you. I really feel that way. Now, as far as dating a man, if you don't want to take that route, then I don't think you should tell him on the first or second date. I think you should wait until you're about to become into because you all know. Okay, when I get what I see next time, I better daughter, women know that? What what? What if they're gonna have sex on the first day? You know how we get to that? See what? What? Why are we talking? I hate him because she already if you listen to the letter, it's not a woman like that. Should she wait till they're both undressed? That's my dog team Jay all day long? Don't you add to this? Makes sense? Though? One more time, Jake, because I don't believe what you just said. I don't believe you said what you just said. Should she wait till they're both undressed? I know you like what you see. You don't mind if called the you know that man? So anyway, right, you hired him your story as a story redemption and overcoming, to write a book about it, to mentor young girls to go into prisons and tell your story. I think your life has great value to I think your story, your past, is your story. But you can stand up and make the announcement. I've held this from you off for so many years because I was a shame. But I'm no longer a shamed. I'm actually proud. I'm actually filled with God's grace now, and I want to share story. In nineteen I was convicted for drug traffic I got caught up in a situation I was young, bold. I've been to jail for twenty years. I got out in two thousand five. Now a lot of people gonna start clearing out to you. Come on hard. Some people there we go, we set killing up. Okay, so the ones that are left right, so we're gonna see some walk out. But the people, those little ones that are really with them, okay, dog Christians anyway, But dog, couldn't we tell them like right after we do it? Can we tell me then let's keep through it all that ain't on my mind. I don't want jail on my mind. Why we don't. I know you enjoyed it, But that's how it's gonna go. Jack, it's going down now, he's coming up. Taking the moment you got caught up, Junior. I have one more, Just one more you yell out, lights out, I'm sorry, sign or something like could you roll over and get my paints from under the bid? You laying on my pain. I agree that she has a great, great, great story. We just we disagree on when she should tell him. Yeah, but I think I think story and just take the take the whole veil of secrecy off of it, man, and tell your story. See if you tell your story, that keep people from telling it? Yeah, you tell your own truth. You reveal it what they're gonna say exactly. She used to sell truths? Well, yeah I did. Yeah, but he saved me. God gott to save you from something. I think you have a great story of redemption. I say, pulled back to curtain yourself and walk out on that. And who's gonna be, what you're gonna be, what you'll find out? Who you cool people? Is right? That's all you gotta do is it's pull the curtain back on that plate and let him sit there and watch that for a minute. You'll find out who with you? Who are all right? At the set? You could sing, Oh, don't you know? That's just sounds working on the chain, Dan. Really, most people in her life they already know it though, because she has to. I mean, you know, they got to do background checks, so she's yeah, she has a great career for I go to over here. Well, you ain't so fast, baby, your head all the way in your boat the restaurant and get up against the wall. Yeah, and walk along the wall until you get by the kitchen.

You know him, the Florida man who was acquitted for the two thousand twelve killing of Trayvon Martin back in two thousand twelve. Well, Zimmerman was arrested again last week for stalking, and he was arrested for stalking and arresting a private investigator whom he threatened to feed to an alligator. Zimmerman was booked into the Seminole County Jail following an investigation into claims made by a private investigator who accused Zimmerman of making threats um the p I. His name is Dennis Warren. He was hired by a production company that was making a documentary about the Trayvon Martin shooting. Warren says he stopped talking to Zimmerman when he started making threats, but Zimmerman continued to stalk and harass him and the documentary's producer. At one point, Zimmerman suggested that he was going to feed Warren to an alligator. Deputy say they've recorded fifty five threatening calls, sixty seven text messages, thirty six voicemails, and twenty seven emails from Zimmerman over a ten day period back in December, and one of the Texas Zimmerman concluded a link to an article in which he was quoted as saying, I know how to handle people who mess with me. I have since February of two thousand twelve. Anyone who messes with my parents will be fed to an alligator. And you know that Zimmerman has been released from jail on bond talking How does he keep talking to all the right people? See, all this conversation is directed at the right people. He killed his little boy, That's who he killed. Now he running his mouth with his little private He talks to all the right people. What do you mean you know who to pick at? He no easy target. It's some people out there that he can all this bravado and grand jill. He could take all this to a certain group of people and we put a stop to that. All that vigor, come on, see all that, all that he got, all that he got. Some coward ass messy, a little punk ass talking about talking about anybody messed with me. I've been a boy, boy boy, you killed a boy. It's what you coward. You killed a boy with a gun who was unarmed. That's what you did. You ain't a badass, dude. You're not just feeding the alligator to see everything you're gonna do. You stop all that talk. I know people don't do no talking. Yeah, don't talk at fifty seven Texas. No, no, And what I'm doing, what you're trying to feed me? Put it I'm doing? Yeah. Yeah, there's some people that that don't talk. Next thing, you know, you're a nursing behind with me. It's somebody talking. There would be no talking. I got some people that will not even somebody to get on you think it is alligant when they show up, they come to deliver a hand.

And these are two film producers and people like that, like you say, Steve, these kinds of people not you know, people that would come after him, I promise you, his dame. But over a ten day period, threatening calls, sixty seven text messages, thirty six voicemails, twenty seven emails. Geez, all right, we'll be back to close out the show with Steve's closing remarks at forty nine. After you're listening, Dave show. All right, here we are, last break of the day. Time for Steve's closing remarks. Okay, um, today Tommy sent me something, sent me a caption that I'm gonna keep because I oftentimes keep on quotes in my motivational folder in my photo stream, and I just look at them from time to time when I'm feeling a certain kind of way. Sometimes I just need a little uplift myself, you know. And Tommy sent me this today, and I'm gonna share it with you, and it's gonna call me, cause me to expound on it a bit, because it's something I really do believe in. It says, do not ask God to guide your footsteps if you're not willing to move your feet. Do not ask God to guide your footsteps if you're not willing to move your feet. You know, folks, it's very simple. God can put his finger on something to bless if you give him something to put his finger on. But you can't. You can't ask God to do something, and you're making no effort. Lord, help me get a job, but you ain't putting in no applications. Lord, help me do right. But all you ever wanna do is wrong. You're just you're just committed to wrong. You know, you you you gotta make a move in the right direction. You know, faith without works is dead, So what time he sent me? Do not ask God to guid your footsteps if you're not willing to move your feet. It's something all of us, and all of us are guilty of it. From time to time, sometimes we get complacent. Sometimes we just get the feeling side fire. So you know, man, I guess it ain't meant to be oh Lord, whatnot you know? Look, man, you can complain your way through life if you want to, but you really have to make any tude adjustment. You gotta get two things moving, your attitude and your feet. Those two things have to get moving. You gotta start taking steps. You may not know the weight how to get to the finish line, but the finish line is somewhere. It ain't where you at. The finish line is never where you're standing. So you gotta start taking some steps. And once again, you may not know all the steps necessary to get to the tape, but you gotta start the process. Man. So, like the caption says, stop asking God to guide your footsteps. If you ain't willing to move your feet, you got to put it into motion. Look, it's just a dream when you're thinking about it, but you gotta put some You gotta put your dreams to work. Motivation is when your dreams put on work clothes. You gotta take your dreams and put work clothes on. The man, you gotta start stepping in the right direction. You've gotta make a move towards the light. You've gotta step towards the finished line. You've got to start to get the way you're trying to get to. You gotta get to go. You gotta go to get period. You cannot stay that wherever you're trying to get. You can't be right where you at. It can't be. It can't be. I'll give you this. This is this is a silly example. But let's say your family reunion is in Wyoming, which I know is not. That's why I said, And you drive to Wyoming. When you get to Wyoming, and you reach Wyoming, the state of Wyoming, you still got to do something because what where is the family union at? It just can't go to whelm me. Well, I'm here, Lord, you here, you well, you even when you get the way you say you're going, you got to move around. Let's say you get to the park where you're holding the family reunion, and you get to the park. Once you get to the park, what what you gotta do something. You're gonna play softball, volleyball, You're gonna sit there on a tree, play domino, You're gonna bob kill, You're gonna make eliminade. You constantly gotta be doing something. There is no when you get there, you're there, There is no more movement required. There's movement required throughout your life, because wherever you're trying to get to it ain't where you at. I can promise you that it's never where you at. I'm doing very well in my life. It ain't where I'm going. How would I be just I'm here now? This is this in what No more dreams, Steve, no more visions. You want nothing else you you here, This it for you. And it doesn't matter me that people look at me and go, man, you got all this. I don't need see what you're tripping for. I ain't tripping. I just want to be more than I am. I'm really trying to be a better person. I really really am. I'm not content with the person I am. I could improve. I could actually be a better person. So I'm in the process. God ain't through with me yet. He's working on me. I'm trying. I'm better than I used to be, but I'm still got my feet moving. So I'm asking God to guy my steps. But I got my feet moving. Man, stop asking God to guide your footsteps. If you ain't willing to move, your feet can't happen. It's what you want. Come on, man, stop that dude, that you're being unreasonable to God guiding your footstep and moving your feet down the path. That's too different that you got to do that. You make one step, he'll make two. So if you don't make the one, you cannot expect him to make the two. He can touch you and bless you, but you gotta give him something to bless you. Gotta do something. O. Case said that, I was watching TV. That's it. Stop asking God to guide your footsteps if you're not willing to move your feet. Thank you, Tommy. That was my clothes up. Drop it? Okay? Who now that actually sounded like a like that was encouraging. Yeah, a good way to start the day. Keep it going, all right, y'all, have a good one. Have a great weekend too. I'll be working.
