Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, guys, here we are, last break of the
day on this what day is this Tuesday?

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (00:07):
Boy, this week is going by fast already. All right,
it's Tuesday, last break of the day. It's been a
good day. Thank you guys for listening. As always, Steve
clos us out you know.

Speaker 3 (00:18):
Here's my closees remark. So, I was thinking about this
all week, along with so much that's going on in
the news, current events and things. And then I've listened
to so many people's opinions on so many different things.
But I wanted to remind everybody of something. And Bishop Bonner,

(00:39):
pastor in Atlanta, said something that I just heard him
say on one of his sermons I was scrolling through,
and it really has had a profound effect on my life.
And I'm paraphrasing it, but he says, be careful of
people who are always the victim of circumstance that they've
created themselves. And do you know how true that is?

(01:05):
Because all of us know someone who is always the victim,
but is from a circumstance that they created themselves. Like, man,
you clearly are not seeing that you are in this
position because of you. See, here's what we all have

(01:26):
to come to terms with. And this is what makes
life so crystal clear at times three things. All of
us have choices. Every day we are faced with a
different choice. And after you have this choice, the second
thing you have is a decision to make on which

(01:49):
to choose. God made us this way. We are really
the only species that he created this full power. He's
given us four authority of the choices and the decisions.
Now listen to me. Depending on the decision you make,
right or wrong, good or bad, negative or positive, whatever

(02:13):
decision you make about your choice, the third thing comes
into play, the consequences. So you see, it makes it
all on us. You can't have a choice. I give
you an example. You're in a relationship. You meet somebody.
You're trying to decide if you're gonna be with them

(02:34):
or give yourself to him. You decide, I'm gonna be
with him. I'm gonna give myself to him. Now you
get in this relationship and it goes bad. You're unhappy,
you're miserable. It's going all wrong. Now the first thing

(02:56):
you wanna do is.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
They ain't this.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
They ain't that they did away, they doing this. I
can't stand them. They there who whoa, WHOA. Let's back up.
In the beginning, you had a choice, and in that choice,
you made a decision to pick that person. And in
that picking that person, now you are inside of all

(03:21):
of the consequences.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
You don't see yourself had a hand in that. M hmm.
You don't see that you picked this person. You don't
see that of the choices, this was the decision you made.
Maybe you need the decision too quickly.

Speaker 3 (03:37):
I got a friend right now that's dealing with some
serious consequences because they made a decision too quickly.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
And he, oh, it don't make no sense for him
to do this right here, but he just oh, I
went to college with this dude. This dude meets this
girl and within within two weeks.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
They move in together. This fool is sixty nine years old.
He moved in with this woman after two weeks. Here's
a man that's been married and divorced before. After two weeks,
they move in within thirty days.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
Thirty days, he mad, it's over. I want her out.
She won't leave.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
I'm sick of her. I tried to help her and
give her none of Hey, bro bro bro bro bro bro.
So he calls me Hey, Steve, I know you got
that book and everything. This girl right here did this
and this. I said, Bro, why did you jump the
gun like that? You only knew her for two weeks. Yeah,
but she was cool. Everybody cool for two weeks. When

(04:51):
you meet a person in two weeks, you're not meeting
that person. You're meeting a representative. Everybody has a great representative.
I used to have one. Oh he was amazing, my representative.
Oh yes, Oh, this boy's out stunding. His nickname was Butterscotch.

(05:12):
I put butterscotch on you.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
Smooth to the taste, easy man, Oh, conversation delicious, hard
to resist. And the more you kept that butter scotch
in your mouth, the smooth as it got. It didn't
even cut, it went down smooth. I was butterscotch. Well,
butterscotch got me in a lot of trouble.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
See, butterscotch is a hard candy, and when you bite
down on it, it really ain't that smooth. Scrunchy cut
the roof of your mouth and everything. I made so
many decisions. But you can jump the gun with your decision.
But whenever you're dealing with the consequences, you gotta go
back to the choices that you had and the decision

(05:58):
that you made, because you are the only person that
you can correct.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
You can't correct other people. So listen to me.

Speaker 3 (06:06):
You all in this thing called life, always know that
the three things you had a hand in when you
saw the choice, you made, the decision, you got the consequences.
If you start looking at it like that, it'll cause
you to look at your choices different, make better decisions,
and end up with some different consequences. You can fix yourself,

(06:27):
but you can't fix nobody else. Those are my clothesing
remarks today. I hope you got something out of it. Hey,
listen to me. Here's the most important thing today. Y'all
talk to God today. He would absolutely love to hear
from it. He really would make it happen. Y'all have
a great.
