Y'all know what time to y'all don't know, y'all back a suit, looking back to back down, giving them like the milling buck things. And it's cubbing me true good it. Steve har listening to the movie to other Steve, Please, I don't join join me. You're doing me. You gotta turn, you gotta turn to turn them out, turn love, got to turn out. Then turn the water the water go. Come come on your fab it h I sure will a good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, Come on dig me now, one and only Steve Varvey, I got a radio show, just trying to give God some back, just some back of what even gave me, just a portion, you know. Just I'm just trying, man to to show some type of gratitude for all his blessings. I'm just trying to man, just just get it right sometimes, you know what I mean. I mean, man, you just can't do what you want to do and just live wrong all the time. Man, you got it at one point in time, Steve, come home. Man, come on, man, you could do better. I know you can, you know saying and you know what I had to do. I had to stop saying I'm gonna try to do better, and I just had to say, hey, man, I'm going to do better. You know, trying it's just to put forth an eff and then if it don't work, well okay. But if you make up in your mind and I'm going to do something, then trying isn't enough. It's getting it done is the only thing that matters. Sin It's the difference between doing and trying. We're gonna try to win the game, or we're gonna go out here to win the game. Now, trying to win the game means that you could lose. But when you got in your mind made up, most athletes will tell you that they go out there with the full intent and purpose of winning and winning. Only see they don't put the second place finish on the cover Sports Illustrated. Second place don't get you there. You got to win. And now take it out of the scope of athletics, but keep it in that type of analogy in life. Man, you just want to you want to win in life, don't you. I mean, at the end of the day, don't you want to be on the cover of Sports Illustrated the life Don't you want to be recognized for your hard work. Don't you want, you know, to be recognized within the bonus structure down at your job. Don't you want to have your plaque up on the wall down at your job. I mean most people do. Some people could care less. Some people don't care about looking good or being their best. And that's cool. But I ain't talking to them though. I'm talking to you. I'm talking to those of you who want to be the best you can be. You know, people kill me when they're getting mad at people here and he Brown knows and he hall up on an employee of them all. Man, the dude doing his job to the best of his ability, and he getting recognized for it? What they got to do? It all that you're talking about because you ain't up there. It's amazing, man, how people describe other people's success. He's so lucky, lucky? Hey man, don't they kind of get you a little bit when people call you lucky? When let me tell you what luck really is, y'all. Luck is when hard work bumps up into opportunity. Some people call that luck. But hold on, let's let's think about this. If you wasn't working hard, an opportunity presented itself, what would you call that? But see, when you've been working hard, an opportunity presents itself and it bumps up into each other. Now people want to call that luck. But hold up here, go to part though today, ain't paying no attention to Yeah, that opportunity came by, But if you had not been working hard, and the hard work had not ran up in the opportunity, what would you have? No, sir, it's not luck, it's work. It is work, because as a scripture that says, faith without works is dead. But my mama was a Sunday school teacher. She taught me enough. Though now I know different between right and wrong, just like you do. You ain't gotta you know, excuse me when people write a strawberry letter? Am I wrong for this? You know? Good? Well, look at let's read your letter? Are you wrong for this? You know? You're wrong? What you don't need that's to be telling, you know? But I'm gonna do this anyway. Well, see, go ahead, though, do what you want to do. But you know what, y'all, here's the best advice I can give you. And this is what I really came to talk about this morning. But I got sidetrack because I listened, get out of your own way. So many of us are blocking our own blessings. Were just in our own way. We are in our own way. And one of the most dangerous ways you can get in your way is to do it your way, to get it figured your way, and to lock in on your way and just the way it's got to go. Do you know how many people are blocking a blessing? Do you know how long I blocked mine with that mindset? Right there? Look, because it's the way you do it, do you think that makes it the right way? You think jazz, because you'd have thought on it long and hard, and that's what you really want. Do you really think that your way is the right way or could that be a better way? See? Until I started listening to God and started paying attention to his way, man, I was spending my wheels. Man, I was out here so determined this is how I was going to do it. But you know, I had to learn how to get out of my own way because just because I could do it my way didn't mean it was the right way. I had to get out of my own way. Just get out your way, man, Now, what what does that mean? That means see set your goals. That means have your dreams. That I'm saying, set your goals. Man, I ain't saying don't set goals. Listen to me. Set your goals. What is it you want to happen? What is it you like to have? What is it you like to be? What are you aspire to? Set your goals and set your dreams. Now take your goals and your dreams to God and ask God to show you how. Man, you can save yourself a lot of pain. Listen to somebody who did it his way for so long. And when I finally got out of my way, out of my own way. When you've heard old people say let go and let God, you've heard them say that I didn't. I didn't get it, but I got it. Now let go and let God. And it's amazing little saying. Though now you know you may not get it now. It took me a bunch of years to get it too. But when I took my goals and my dreams and my vision to God and I said, God, this is what I hope for, this is what I aspired to, this is what I want to be, this is why I would love to get to. Then I said, help me, show me how point me in the right direction. Let me follow your footsteps, guide me and give me a spirit of discernment. Show me who wrong? Because I meet people every day. Ain't up to no good with me every single day? Oh man, Man, I can't believe I run up into you. Man, the Lord told me something's gonna happen to me today. Well, see, I talked to him every day. He did not mention you to me. He ain't said nothing to me. He didn't tell me what was gonna happen in mind. Now, I don't mean it can't happen because I'm open to it. So really, man, I'm and and please know I'm listening to it as well as I've ever listened before. But but get yourself together, though, see no, your goals and your dreams, and then let God show you how to do it. He'll do it. You know. It's so important everybody, that you get focused, that you aim for something, that you dream of something, that you aspire to something. But it's the most the best thing you can do. After you do all that, Man, get God involved in it. Man, talk to him. I mean, why would you not what you got to lose? You ain't got to go down there and make no big scene and run laps around the church and run up there and throw yourself on the altar and scream and flip over and throw money in the air. You ain't got to do that. This you and God, man, This you and God. You know you got to serve and praise him the way you do it. You gotta let nobody else tell you highs done. It's a personal relationship. People kill me if you don't do it this way. If you don't come here to this church and you don't run around in this circle and you don't get flipped in the air, you don't, Hey, man, you better go have a relationship with God. See what that's about. You understand? Nobody throw you off with all that? All right, all right, y'all talk to him. He loved to hear from you. Today. You're listening show, ladies and gentlemen, let me have it. Your undivided attention is what's needed. It's required to get through this type of show because the ignorance is done at a at a level where it's it borderlines almost intelligence, and then it just falls off suddenly, and then it snatches you back up and The reason we do that is because we have Shirley Strawberry and Caller for Real that keeps snatching it back up on the intellectual level of well spoken, of educated and things of that. And then we have four guys who are constantly trying to drive the boat over the cliff, drive the bus over the cliff, and then they snatch the wheel back and keep it from going on, Ladies and gentlemen. One of the wheel snatchers, Shirley Strawberry, Thank God, good morning wheel snatcher number two. All up the for Real so happy to snatch that wheel now. These next intros are people who are not well balanced, who refuse to do right. And I'm constantly trying to get that bus over the cliff so we can enjoy the uncontrollable fall and tumble. Yeah, the thrill of it for us too much. And we like going down the hill in the van with no seatbelts on. We want to get slung all round, no break, Ladies and gentlemen, Junior No. Thirty two, thirty two. I see right there for the bus. He's trying to take the butt Javid and Brown. I don't want to die, but I just want to see what it's feel like to go over the cliff. I don't want us to die, feel like we just I just don't what I want. Yeah, and the food you throw it in forth and let it fly, yea, and throw the brick out. What movie was that when they drilled over the cliff? What movie was Louise? Yes, yes, yes, yeah, but we didn't see it. Yes, yes, thank you. We don't want that. No, we want talk about had all the police back then? They did? Yeah, I got a jumpsuit and my whole time in prison, I'm telling them about the time we was driving off the cliff. But I'm not gonna drive. You're gonna be saved. Yeah, you're gonna get arrested though in surrender. I'm a living, well spoken storytelling anyway. Well, it's Friday, is how we're starting it off. And I am in my emmy and let me tell you so do it, boy, go do it. Let me just tell y'all this. I am so grateful that God has changed me.

Uh, he crushed your dreams when you asked him when you were uh, when your beloved Cleveland Browns will be going to the super Bowl. Take a listen to this from Cleveland. We've never been to the super Bowl. They had Lebron. Lebron saved us Man Championship. We've never won anything, and I'm hanging in there been god women. In two years we could be in a super Bowl. We clean house, Do we have a chance? And no, where in hell you're going to super Bowl two years? Hey? You know where Steven? Hey, I an't got to come on this damn show.

Yeah, but well, well listen, the kitchens was a disaster. It's the worst version of what he could have been. But I told you he's gonna be and that. Nevertheless, the Cleveland Browns now have rehired the brains and it's not like they don't have talent on the squad. In two years, you could easily be can coming here that you cannot have a quarterback that you're relying upon come off of lake Erie. That's why you take Barkley first. That's that wind off lake Erie.

Buggle up, hold on tight, We got it for you here. It is Strawberry letter. Subject, There's no way to this mess. Dear Stephen Shirley. I've been kicked out of my church and I need some advice. I attended a very messy church, and if you did not do the things the way the pastor thought you should, he would call you out. I have had a few run ins with him over stuff I post on my personal Facebook page, and I told him I could post what I want on my Facebook page and it has nothing to do with him or the church. I'm sure the real problem was the fact that I was sleeping with one of the deacons. But the pastor couldn't say anything because everybody knew he was having an affair. So the pastor and I had words, and I cursed him out, and he excommunicated me. I did not care, and I joined a new church, but I was still messing with the deacon at my old church. Then I found out the deacon was messing with two more ladies that I was real cool with that church. All of us found out about each other, and we were mad. I told them that I would handle the deacon. That's just what I did. I went through my phone and found several pictures of the deacon's male parts and texted the pictures to the pastor and the other deacons. I waited, all um. I waited a few days, and I called the pastor to see if the deacon was going to be excommunicated like I was. He told me that I was the problem, not the deacon. Because of that, I marched right back up to my old church this past Sunday, and I dared the pastor to say anything to me. The horash deacon has found a new church, but all of the other deacons were looking all scared when they saw me. After services. Pastor said he would have me arrested if I came back. Do you think he has the right to do that. I should be able to worship wherever I want to, and this is my church home, no matter how messy it is. What should I do? You want? You want advice from us? From us? You want you want advice? What can we tell you? How can we advise you? You don't even listen to your pastor. You don't even listen to him in your own home church. As you put it, I can't believe you. I mean you, you're a pastor and the deacon. You're all just just a mess that church too. Uh, it is crazy. If you're a member of a church, you should at least and you go regularly, you call that at your church home. You should at least be getting something out of it, some kind of Jesus something out of something. Uh. You're you You sound like you know you're proud and not the least bit of shame that you're sleeping with a deacon in the church, or that you cursed out the pastor of the church, or that you texted the deacon's naked pictures to the pastor and the other deacons. This what are you doing? What are you doing? You need? What would you say, Tommy, that's not godly they No, absolutely not, absolutely not. I mean you need to stop. Seriously, you need to stop. You need to get yourself together. Okay, you really need Jesus, You absolutely need Jesus. You don't need to go to any more churches if it's not helping you. Okay, Uh, you know, I gotta tell you, like I said, get yourself together. Come on, sister, repent, ask for forgiveness for what all the stuff you have done before you get kicked out of this new church. Because if you can, you know, if you keep doing the same stuff, you're gonna kicked out until you get it. And yes, the pastor can ask you not to post certain things on your Facebook page if you know, if they're not no matter what they are, but if they don't reflect who you should be as a Christian. All right, you're I agree technically with what you said, and I think you were correct in what you were saying if we were talking about a real situation. But this ain't real. There is no way to bless this mess. The whole letter screams of what the hell? Then, Stephen Sherlon, I've been kicked out of my church and I need some advice right there, when a person is kicked out of a church, you think, oh my god, what did she do? Well? Then she said it, I attend a very messy church, and if you don't do things a way to the past, I thought you should here call you out. So you're sitting up there, it's Sunday. You don't got dressed, you don't come down now. I want to bring to your attention, sister parnell Or who is disruptive fos in our congregation want so you have some running ends with him. You've had running ends with your pastor over some stuff I post on my personal Facebook page. How he knows. I told him I can post what I want on my page. It ain't got nothing to do with him or the church. And then you said, I'm sure that the real problem is it's the fact that I'm sleeping one of the deacons. Because it's crazy. Wait a minute, you diagnose the problem with your Facebook page. As I got so much to saying this letter. This whole thing is a mess, and I have a solution for it. All right, Steve, We'll hang on. We'll be back with part two of your response at twenty three minutes after the hour, subject of today's Strawberry Letter. There's no way to bless this matter, and we'll get back into it right after this. You're listening, all right, Steve, Come on, let's recap today's Strawberry Letters subject. There's no way to bless this message. This lady is a member of a messy church here in the past and had some running in is old stuff she posted, he told she told him, I post what I want on my page. Ain't got But then she diagnosed that the reason that they having the real problem with hers because she's sleeping one of the deacons. But then she said, but the pastor couldn't say anything to you about you sleeping with the deacon because everybody knows that he's having an affair. So the pastor and I had words. Okay, now they've had several run ins about the postings. Right then she turned around and said, the pastor and I had words, and I cust him out. Wow, it really cuss your pastor out. But he's pastor that's having the affair that fronts people out in church. So as he leads, y'all followed. So see, since he fronts people in church, y'all ain't got no problem fronting him. People followed like they led. I custed him out. He excommunicated me. I ain't care. I joined the new church. I ain't care, girl, I wouldn't got a new church. But I was still messing with the deacon at my old church. Then she found out that the deacon was messing with two more ladies that she was cool with it at the church, and all y'all found out about each other were man. So didn't you, being the ring leader, had helfer? You said? I told, yeah, helper, when you messing your head, helfer, I find I told them I would handle the deacon, and that's just what I did. I went through my phone found several pictures or the deacons male parts. Wait a minute, what kind deacon is this? What church you go to? You found some pictures of male parts and text the pictures to the pastor and the other deacons. Now, hold on, let me tell you something. Just being a man, if you get a message from a woman, you go, okay, oh right, what's up and it says, you know, download or something like that or images, and you pop it up and a man thing is on. Now, oh my good lord, But we really don't know how to respond in either way, the happy position or the sad position. We don't know what to say, but we do recognize right away that it is not us. We're very familiar to us. I waited a few days and I called the pastor to see if the deacon was gonna be excommunicated like I was. So you wan't the old pastor that's having the affair. There's boys with his deacon board that you just sent a picture of your deacon lover's male parts to the pastor and the other deacons, and then you called see if he gonna get excommunicated like I would. He told me that I was the problem. God, we gotta got he is going up. You're the problem, not the deacon. Where is Jesus did? She said that, I'm marched right back up to my old church. Let's do this in this letter. Stop saying church. Yeah, this is not a church. This is a gathering spot that has a cross hanging up in it somewhere. This is not a church. This is a gathering spot that has a cross hanging in it somewhere. This is not a church. This is not the Lord's house. The Lord ain't in that shell. Is absolutely right, well, ain't o Jesus that you ain't mentioning the word. He a good preacher, he feeds us. He'll do nothing. So you went back up to my old church and dad the pastor to say anything to me saying this. The horrish deacons, the whole whole deacon he has found a new church. But all the other decons was looking all scared when they saw me. On here she come on, she tripped. After service. Pastor said he would have me arrested if I came back here all this and he'll go of course, she said, do you think he has the right to do that? A minute? Man, you're so messy you don't even worry about the mess Do you think he has the right to do that? Have you arrested? I should be then then then can he do that? I should be able to worship wherever I want to worship. Where have y'all worshiped in this entire letter? Unless the name of this church is Soldom and Gomorral this is city. Yeah, all right? Listen, post your comments on Today's Strawberry Letter and Steve Harvey FM on Instagram and Facebook. Okay, don't forget to check out the Strawberry letter on podcast the podcast on demand and coming up at forty six after the hour, President Trump's super Bowl commercial and did you hear part of the new border wall got blown over by heavy wind? We're going to talk about all of this right after you're listening to show. President Trump's campaign plan to run to thirty second spots on Sunday. Um, the new ad will talk about the president's economic record and the country's low unemployment rate in front of the largest TV audience all year. Trump campaign spent around ten million on the national spot to air during the Super Bowl. What is it? Uh? Five million for thirty seconds? You know? Democratic candidate Mike Bloomberg will air a sixty second spot during the Super Bowl about gun violent Um. So there you have it. Oh and in other news, part of the new border wall section got blown over by wind? Uh Customs of Protection. Huh. Mike Bloomberg has real money million, He's a billionaire for real. He's looking better too, at least his commercials. Yeah, I really do part part of it. Like I was saying, part of the new border wall section got blown over by wind. Customs and Border Protection. Uh. They say a newly installed section of border wall in California fell over in the high winds. It was high winds. Uh. The wall had recently been put into a new concrete foundation. When the wind in MEXICALI blew the wall over onto the trees on the Mexican side plate. So if the wind can blow the wall down, where happened, if four people climb up, huff and out puff, she took that and put it down on that wall. Commercial. Can you imagine you're trying to cross the border and you see the wall come down. That's like a gift from God. Oh wait a minute, y'all, Wait a minute, y'all, No this way right. I do not understand how the Southern Christian Evangelicals support Donald Trump. That is the craziest thing I do. There is racist as anybody on the face of the earth. That's just my opinion. They hate gaze, blacks, anybody that's different from them, and that to me, that's racist when you hate and exactly what it is. Yeah, this is they say. Some of the most segregated places in the world are those churches on Sunday. I mean they women who are getting abortion, lesbians, They hate all that, they hate it all. Yeah. So and Trump rallies that so they're gonna vote for Trump. Yeah, I understand, I get it. That's really all right.

And Molly was giving on first take A she was reading what Vanessa Bryant had issued her first statement, and Molly cried through that whole thing, and it just brought to mind that for a lot of people who knew him and just knew of him, who respected him, who he gave enjoyment to, who he entertained, who people bet on, or all of the things, it was a tough week for a lot of people. But I'm gonna say something that I understand. I'm sixty three years old. I have survived and seen in my lifetime a lot of major deaths, and they all had a certain impact. And I watched it over the years, and the first major death that I saw was when President Kennedy was killed. And I came home and I saw my mother ironing and she was crying, and I said, I asked my mama why she was crying. He said, baby, they killed President Kennedy. I'm pretty young, so I don't really understand this, and I said, down. It was on the news, and I watched it with him. It had a little impact on me. At eleven years old, I came home and I found out that they had killed Martin Luther King. This was the most impactful death of my life at the time. And it was the most impactful death for years and years and years to come. But when mar Luther King died, the the the anger and the hurt in the African American community set every major city ablaze because the people who were so oppressed had no way to project their angle, not with voting or anything. Y'all killed mar and Luther King. We're gonna burn these cities down. And then I kept living, and we lost some other people, and we lost some more people, and then some more significant people passed, and I've seen all of them. When Michael Jackson passed, I know exactly where I was when I got the news, and the reaction to his death was major. We all were together when we got the news that Prince had died, and I watched how they handled the death of Prince, and the London Bridge purple. Vic Ben Bush Khalifa in Dubai went purple, the Eiffel Tower went purple, the Empire State Building went purple. Two countries got together and shine lights on Niagara Falls. The Niagara Falls went purple. This boy was major. Mohammed Ali died, but because of his age and his illness, he was singlely the greatest and most impactful sports figure to ever pass in the history of the world to my knowledge, but in my lifetime clearly Martin Luth excuse me, Mohammed Ali's passing was that major, but he was sick, and people kind of and he was older. When Kobe passed, it was so shocking with the way he passed, the age, his daughter on the plane and all those other people. Because of social media and because this young brother was such an icon in this age of technology and everything, the impact of his passing has had a huge impact. I've never in my life gotten more calls for more men to say I love you, brother. I just wanted to call you and tell you I loved you. When God called that man home and those other people, if he intended for us to get the message that life is precious, that every time should be cherished. If that was one of the messages Mission accomplished, this was a wake up call for every pole. Those are my closer calls for all. Steve.
