go any further, let's pray, Father God. We just love
(01:39):
you so much. Oh my God, I could just exhaling
you be with your people tonight, use our voice to
express what the message that you have for your people.
We just thank you, Father God for your love and
your saving grace and your mercy. None of which we deserve,
none of which we deserve, but you give so willingly
(02:01):
and so unselfishly, just because we're your children and you
don't have no respective person. So tonight, Father God, have
your way on like ever before, speak to your people.
We get behind the cross. We love you so much.
All this and more we ask in Jesus most holiest
a holy name. Amen and amen. Well, thank you guys
(02:24):

with that?
Speaker 3 (02:31):
All right?
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Even at the gate, George, Charles, why do I keep
calling you George? George must be talking about me anyway, Charles,
thank you for at the gate. Thank you so much. Yeah,
when somebody you accidentally call somebody else's name, they talking
about you, you're on their mind for some reason. So
there we go. But anyway, Yes, vacations can be fun.
We're going to talk about that tonight. Uh just uh
(02:58):
what it means. And again tonight this month we're celebrating
National Happiness Happens Month, and we're gonna talk about happiness
tonight and I'm gonna, I'm gonna, we're gonna get it.
What does it mean to say when you stand behind
the cross? I let the cross shows Jesus is on
at this point, even though we've already titled the show
(03:20):
for him, it could change because of what the audience needs.
I don't know what y'all need tonight, but God knows,
Jesus knows, the Holy Spirit, and I go accordingly to them.
Thank you Charles for asking it. But yeah, I stand
behind the cross. I'm not in front of the cross.
We don't know nothing. We stand behind the cross. So
I like to say that that that humbles me personally,
(03:43):
that sets my direction, That tells my flesh to stand down.
It's not about you. It's all about what God and
his people and the message for his folks tonight. Thank you, Charles.
I know other people were wondering, what does that mean.
I appreciate that. Thank you so much. Oh he is
on a roll tonight. Ain't many now, But anyway, how
(04:03):
you doing this happened? Has just happened?
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Ah?
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Come on, Mickey, come on, you're getting ahead of it.
That Mickey, you're getting ahead of it. Well, let me
ask Tracy how she's been doing. See about her vacation.
What she wants to share we're gonna.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Keep this rolling.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
So, so, Trey, what was you. How's your weekend?
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Well, fantastic, really every day of it, just separating from
work and spending time with family and friends, loved ones,
just doing whatever the heck I wanted to do, you know,
without having such a clock, and just rejuvenate and and
meditate and pray and praise and just all of that.
(04:48):
I needed that that we It made a different. It
made a difference.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Amen, that is so cool, because have you seen the
new progression of progressive commercial Well she's asking her, so,
what do you go on vacation? Goes, Oh, you mean
when I sit in the truck and I she said no, no, no,
she said, no, oh, when I have to answer calls
and everything else and I sit this. I love it
(05:11):
is so classic. But what is vacation?
Speaker 3 (05:14):
You know?
Speaker 2 (05:14):
What is that? And I watched people y'all seem happy.
I feel happy coming through the radio at the same
time we are. I mean, I don't know about table Trey,
but a whole load has come off my shoulders. I
went strategically. It wasn't so much a vacation. I have
not flown in an airplane for twenty nine years twenty
(05:37):
nine years. So I didn't eat anything or anything. I know,
my medical people are upset with me because I said, nope,
I'm not taking any chances. I'm going to be up
in the air. I can't just get up. I don't
want to cramp. I don't want my you know, I
didn't want my flesh to you know, start cramping. I
didn't want nothing, my feet to go numb, nothing. And
(05:58):
I had to toy between what what kind of shoes
do I take and things like that, and I need
to be able to put on clothes by myself. My
daughter went with me, but I don't like putting so
much on me on her as a heavy load. So
and I got on the plane. We had to get
through that. Thank god, they asked you to if you
need assistance, and so she's like, oh, yeah, you're gonna
(06:19):
need assistance. And so from Orlando to our first stop
because we had to take another plane because it's not
a straight flight. Orlando treated me, you know, got the wheelchair,
let's go, you know, and everything else. Got me right
up to the door almost of the plane. Once we
(06:39):
landed in North Carolina, there's a shortage at the airport
So if you know anybody that works in Charlotte, North Carolina,
you they need jobs at the airport. Their jobs has
got to be because there was nobody hardly in sight.
It was really kind of very It started that aggravation.
(06:59):
You know. The flight leaving, I was just talking to
God and I saw my angels show up, and I
was breathing and everything else and trying not to hear
the external noise of the plane, you know, going down
the tarmac and everything. I don't remember the last time
I got on a flight. Wow, miss DC. See I'm
not I'm not alone. But I had to I had
(07:20):
to add that up those years up. I had to
go back. Let's see, it was not I was. It
was in I was in AmeriCorps. And you know, I
had to add all of Donald was one, you know,
so twenty nine years ago, because he's gonna be thirty
one in October. So the flight people were nice and
and everything, but like I said, when we landed in Charlotte,
(07:41):
I don't know, I don't know. They were unhappy. I'm
talking about the staff. They were angry. One person was nice.
The man that checked us in. The person that checked
us in, he was nice and friendly and and but
and he was a little funny and stuff like that.
But it was just like everybody else was like, whoa,
what a day. I mean, it's like we knew where
(08:03):
their mindset was and that was kind of they were
talking out loud. Then we went on to our destination,
which was Tennessee and uh once again, uh it seemed
like they forgot uh to see the assistance checked off there.
It's just well, people are not happy and it's so funny.
I don't know if I mentioned it to my daughter then,
(08:24):
but I said, Monday Night show us about happiness, and
you know, I got the print in it up. I
can't make this stuff up. You know, it's a sad day.
It's a sad day because people are miserable. They were
rushing and you know, and hustling and bustling and and
you and and people brought their issues inside the store,
inside the restaurants, inside the whole tel. You can you
(08:47):
just I just I didn't want nobody to pull out,
you know, and start, you know, laying hands on folks.
I just wanted to just kind of let me get
to my room. Can I get to my room? The
hotel was just getting up on the sidewalk to walk
into the hotel. It's about a twelve inch sidewalk here
from the street, and I'm like, what am I supposed
(09:07):
to do with that? And I'm like, oh God, thank
god my daughter was here, you know, with me, because
somebody would have had to help me to get up
on the sidewalk just to walk into the hotel. And
it was all downtown. They're not meeting eighty eight requirements.
And I don't know whose job that it is, but
that sidewalk has been there forever and it's you know,
(09:30):
but you know, people, you know, the staring does nothing
to me, but you know, just getting in. I went
there to achieve, first to get on the plane for
the first time and to really be able to conquer
that just in case we have to flee Florida. And
then also I had some work that I needed to
do by p per God, and it went really well.
(09:54):
And as I'm coming back again, Tennessee was like they
didn't want on the wheelchair piece of it. And then
got to Georgia, I mean to North Carolina, and I
didn't expect I mean, and they were all the folks,
the staff that's supposed to do the wheeling. They're all
in and you know, sitting there laughing and everything. And
(10:16):
you got people who useful that wheelchair is ready for
them to get and get them and you standing there
and all that. So the North Carolina's not doing well.
Charlotte's airport is not doing well, not doing well. And
finally got a young lady and she was wheeling and
dealing and so to get me to our plane because
we only had twenty some minutes, and they changed the gates.
(10:36):
They kept changing the gates while we were there waiting.
I think in North the folks that got off of
North Carolina. We were in North Carolina and his husband
and wife and new baby. They're like, yeah, we had
to take the other plane. We took somebody's plane because
they had to order the door for the plane. The
door became loose or something, and they had the land
(10:58):
and get them all off the plane and put them
on another plane. So our plane became I was like, wow,
y'all ordered the door and that was being flown in
that is. We can't make this up. I told the gentlemen,
I said, you need it's a good book. Good evening.
Stephanie with the City Stephanie with the city. Hey, okay,
(11:21):
And so I was just like, y'all floated flying in
the door. What about our airplane? And now we got
all these people that have to transfer and get on
our plane and stuff, and to get get us to Tennessee.
Everybody was going to Tennessee. They were going there. They
weren't going down places, so there was another flight, but
they all had to get and I'm messing some some
of the passengers were fom but others was just they
(11:43):
just walked right in front of the wheelchair. I mean,
and my people were going they were just we gotta go.
And they were They weren't saying excuse me, they say
ooh nothing. They were like, okay, you hit her, Okay,
that's just you. Just we're gonna bump into you. People
were on their phones on their phones. It wasn't like
they were looking for their flight, because the people were
(12:04):
telling you where to go overhead, but they were talking
to people and just walking right in front of you,
just walking right in front of each other. Oh excuse me,
oh excuse me. If I mean, if it hadn't been
for the Lord on my side, I tell you. But
(12:25):
we met on back and again, like I knew North Carolina, well,
you know, being at the Tennessee Airport and then North Carolina.
I knew when I landed in Orlando, wheelchair God was
right there. I already know about. They came down to
the plane door to get me, and it made everybody
say okay. I no, y'all in a hurry, but chill
(12:46):
because she's priority, I said, And we're very courteous and everything.
The young man took me to the baggage. He said, no, ma'am,
you wait right here. Tell me what your baggage look like.
I mean, he went, you know, he did not have
to do that. I said no, and he wielding outside.
I said, okay, it's good. Our transport is going away,
so we're good. So let's talk about happiness. Now, let's
(13:08):
talk about happiness not The definition of happiness is a
state of well being and contentment. Joy, joy okay, a
pleasurable or satisfying experience, wishing you happiness in life and
and felicity and aptness, a striking happiness of expression and
good fortune. Prosperity uh oh. Definition number three. Prosperity, money
(13:35):
and happiness is connected a sense of wealth, a sense
of managing money management. There's a connection and I you know,
and some of the synonym words of felicity, fitness, propriety, rightness, uh, suitability,
you know, but people are not happy. I've been answering,
(13:58):
I'm a I am. I answer a lot of survey
still and one is you dot gov a lot and
I've been with them for years. And you can your rewards,
you can redeem your points and stuff like that from
anything from Adidas to Amazon to you know, oh, cash
in your bank account. And the latest one is, you know,
(14:22):
do you think the world is happy? Do you think
the world's in a better place right now? And I'm
like no, And my choices were, is the world in
a prevention mode or is it intervention mode? Or is no?
We're in crisis. We've been in crisis since I'd say
twenty twenty. For me, it was it was before that too,
but twenty twenty really just sucker punched us all. And
(14:45):
that's just my opinion. But yeah, I was answering that
survey actually today and I was like, no, we're in
crisis and we're gonna be here for a while because
now it's it's just time is winding up. It's like
that volcano is bubbling over it. It's time. It's time.
And people who are mistreating people, people who are not
(15:08):
saying speaking good will towards people, and people who are
judging people. Uh, people who are pointing fingers at people,
people who are lying. And I'm not talking about in politics.
I'm talking about your neighbor. I'm talking about somebody you
know who owe you money and they lying to the government.
All kinds of things, all kinds of things, and everything
(15:30):
is sporadic now everything you you know, you got to
be very careful. You got to be extremely careful now,
you know, and you've got to be watchful. But what
is happiness to you? What is happiness for me? Years ago,
I wanted everybody to be happy. I wanted everybody to
make it into heaven. I wanted everybody to be happy,
(15:50):
whatever that means, whatever that meant. And now, because I
realized over time and the closer I got to the Lord,
I counted more people who did not want to be
the Lord to be a part of their life, and
they were not telling the truth and all that kind
of stuff. So my, my, you know, I'm happy. I
(16:11):
had to figure out what my happiness is especially what
you know I've been through these last seven years. What
is happiness for me? Money don't make me happy. I
appreciate money, though I appreciate that I got it. I
had to go and get some insurance, medical, some medications
and stuff. I didn't like that. And everybody shocked, like
you not had any you know, medicare partsy plan? You
(16:33):
do not? No, because I didn't need it. And now
I got to appeal because they say, well, it looks
like you've not had insurance since you know. No, I
didn't need it. So now I got to, you know,
go and here's a fight. I got to go and
say I didn't need it, and I hope they understand that.
So anyway, getting back to happiness and everything, what is
(16:55):
happiness now? What does it look like now? You know
for you all, so trade you come on in first,
and then everybody else, you know, put your comments in there.
We're gonna get to you. That is a good question.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
Happiness It can be small, it can be very minute
or very grandiose. So like on the smaller end, it's
happiness could be enjoying your favorite food or being able
to access it, or it could be enjoying a nice day,
or being able to do some of the things that
(17:33):
you want to do. It doesn't it doesn't really take
a whole lot for me to be happy, like I
think on vacation, not just being able to wake up
without having to go anywhere, you know, wake up at
different times, go to sleep at different times, watch you know,
different shows if I wanted to. I really don't watch
(17:54):
a whole lot of television anyway, I cut that out
a while back.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
But just being able to enjoy what life has.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
To offer, not always work work work, you know, sometimes
you have to take time out for yourself.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
But it's enjoying people.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
That being around people that you enjoy, that make you happy,
that inspire you to uplift you, that motivates you, that
encourage you, that sometimes test you, because sometimes you need
that test to see what you're able, what you're capable
of doing, are you able to respond? And so it's
like I said, it's simple things nature, beach scenes, I mean, beautiful,
(18:37):
just I mean, I just I just sucked it all in,
I really did, you know.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
So, like I said, it's not a whole lot money. Definitely,
this is true. There's true, there's different yes, right, but.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
You grow, go ahead. I'm sorry, go ahead. Hard to
find those to find right?
Speaker 3 (19:02):
You are so right.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
But it's like I said, it's just really smart money.
I know, you need money to be able to survive.
You got to pay rent or place to stay. You
got to have food to eat, you got to shelter,
you have to have clothing, you have.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
To be able to pay bills and stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
But you know, being able to do so without worry
to sometimes cause happiness or happiness being able to have
something in some type of income for a lot of people,
just being able to have an income or have a job,
it's happiness, especially if you've experienced a time where you
weren't employed or you know, weren't you know able to
(19:43):
you know, it could be anything, you know, but for me,
those are similar things. Now, if I was fortunate to
be rich, of course that I think I can be
very happy with that because I would know some things
that I would want to do, you know, want to
bless people. I would want to uh do more unnecessarily
(20:07):
do more things that I enjoyed the human service field
without having to worry about doing things. Philanthropy that that
type of stuff, you know, I you know, Melitia. I
love the human service field and being able to explore.
Sometimes when you have things that you have to do
during the day, it's hard to kind of like work.
(20:31):
Sometimes work can can take you away from what your
passion is. Sometimes your work could be if you're fortunate,
your work could be your passion. But sometimes work there's
something that you just you need to be able to survive, right,
you know, just to live day by day.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
So you know, I just I feel for people that
are struggling.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Is a lot of like you said, a lot of hate,
a lot of lying, a lot of deception, a lot
of manipulation and stuff like that. And people are struggling
in employment. I see it all the time. People want
to halfway do their jobs or don't do it at all.
You know, that's not my position. I don't need to
(21:13):
do that.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
I said.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
Money does open more possibilities to help out. You're right,
but that's not my job, Christion. But I remember other
duties as a sign.
Speaker 5 (21:26):
I remember that people my job other duties as a
sponsor yeah number seventeen.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
Wait men, you know, yeah, so yeah, I would want
to be able to help people that, especially our most
vulnerable folks, you know, those with who are are elderly
or incapable, or have certain you know, disabilities, mental health.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
You know, just empowerment.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
I love it.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
I love to help people anyway. I I guess that's
a social work icide, just being able to do more
of it because there's a lot that needs to be done.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
So nothing.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
It's never gonna be ended. It's never gonna end. I'm
sorry to interrupt your tray. It's never gonna stop. I
want people to understand this, this poverty thing, all these
ills in society, it doesn't stop. It doesn't end until
the world is done. So God says, okay, I'm bringing
y'all home. Now, come on and let me give you
(22:30):
some rest. But every stage of your life there's different happiness.
First when you're first having children. Then you got that
little baby and you know that whole thing you you're
in that new marriage and relationship is fun. And then
it's like, oh, then it gets it and now you're
in year number five. You know, people, we don't look
the same anymore, we don't you know, and stuff, what
(22:53):
is the priorities? Some of usself don't have the jobs
that we used to have anymore. And as a social worker,
I learned early on that if I want to at
least try to make fifty thousand a year, I had
to have at least a full time job and two
part time jobs that would end up be full time.
Sad thing is the end may be coming sooner than
we think. Oh it is, but it's not. There's a
(23:14):
difference between the world is ending and the end of
the world. Let me break that down a little bit
better because I know we said that, you know, these
are end times, and that means biblically, these are in time.
So everything in the Bible that's supposed to come the
past is coming. The past. That's the end time. The
world ending will be when the world ends, there's nothing
(23:37):
breathing anymore. Plan like everything's gone. However that's going to be.
But it's the progression of that, it's the procession of that.
It's the journey of that that we're you know, time
is winding up for people. You know, I just solved
like three additional two to three people that we know
have passed away. Of the gentleman that paid the doctor there,
(24:00):
I think it was Scorpio in general hospital. He just passed.
And the guy who played on Superman stuff. He just passed,
and there's another person that just passed, so you know,
for their time is done. The world has come to their.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
World, Daniel Spencer, and.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
From what's happening. Yes, oh my gosh, you know, I
had no idea she was battling cancer in the early sixties,
so you know, and so no more can we say, oh,
they've lived a life of they're eighty seven. You know,
look at Malcolm, you know, he's in his fifties and
and you know, and so on and so forth. So
there's that difference. But how you're living it each day
(24:40):
is the I think it's the happiness that I really
I want to focus on how are you living? How
are you living? Because the folks I just encountered, whether
they were tourists or residents and two different cities states, rather,
they weren't happy. And I'm talking about both people behind
a count a punch of the time clock and people
(25:02):
who's supposed to be going on a vacation to get free.
But yeah, that's that I agree with you, Trey. I
was able to. I had to do something specific along
the way. But I also want to, you know, give
my daughter times and she wanted to go to the mall.
So I said, okay, we're going to the mall. We'll
get an uber. And did y'all know that you can't
rent a car without a major credit card. I know
(25:23):
most of y'all got them. I don't, So you cannot.
They don't want your debit card, they don't want your cash.
You cannot. You have to have a major credit card.
So we had to utilize taxis, ubers and the pastor
who we went to visit at the church we went
to visit. Pastor gave us a ride for the whole day,
took us around and and it was our tour guide
on Thursday. But we you know, we met nice taxi people.
(25:46):
We got one guy was uber. He was kind of weird,
but you know, I just I had my eye on him.
He looking at me through the mire and I'm looking
at him. You know, let's go, son, I know where
I'm at. I know how to get back to the
hotel too, Let's go. You know, we're looking at her daughter.
You don't know her and you don't know us. Okay, anyway, Yeah,
(26:08):
but you know, what is happiness at this stage of
the game. What's happiness for you? What does it take
because you look at the reality shows and everybody, at
least one person on there has a therapist and they
got and they're toiling their hair. Yeah, they're twirling their hair,
especially the Kardashian you know, you know you got pieces
(26:28):
in your head now, not all that hair is theirs.
So all the secrets come out and stuff like that,
and you're like, okay, you're normal. Wow, you know so
you know some of the questions there, I think we
if you can play those back forwards rebel sad thing
and is coming to answering and then we think, yeah, yeah, yeah,
(26:50):
money doesn't open it does open more possibilities to help
others now. And thank you for saying that, Anastagia, because
you still got to be careful. The Bible said, don't
don't cast your money to pigs to line. Okay, be
careful where that money is going, because you wanted to
come back to you however, whether it's favor, whether it's
good health, whether it's monetary, whether it's a better place
(27:11):
to live, a better car to drive. You want that
coming back. So you need to be listening to God saying,
because he'll tell you I don't, I don't, I don't
give to everybody I see and seeds that he's had
me planned that behind closed doors, people don't even know
it's coming. Amen. So and he blesses me openly, I said, word,
he said, I'll reward you that what you do in secret,
(27:33):
I will reward you openly. Amen. So be careful now,
even more so where you're planting your seed. Now, I
know there's a group of y'all working on some items
or for Thanksgiving and things like that. So as you're
putting money into that, you're buying that that crochet needle,
you're buying that material, that yarn is that's all seed money?
(27:54):
Did you mentioned Billy Bobs? He passed on in June? Oh,
Billy Cobbs. I'm sorry. He was an amazing and man,
I'm not sure if that was in June, though I'm
sure it came up on Facebook. I'm not sure. I
don't The name doesn't sound for me to me. But
for those of you who are planting, you you're giving
your money, You're going to get your You're going out
of your way to go to the little thrift shop
(28:16):
that's gonna have the yarn on sale and and you know,
or at a discount of price. That's all seed offering there,
that's all seed offering, okay. And what you do is
designate that seed is. He's like, Okay, I got to
do my part on the croche, you know, I got
to do my section of the patch work, the clip
work or whatever. That's money you're giving, and that's God
(28:36):
will count that as a seed offering because he's asking you,
he's telling you to do that, he's governing you. He's
placed that on your hearts. The time you spend talking
about that organizing that, that's seeding time. So what you
have to do is you need to designate the seed Lord,
is I'm going to buy this this knitted, this uh yarn,
and the equipment, the supplies that I need. Lord, Please,
(29:00):
if I would like to see this as I'm seeding
this to whoever we're gonna send it to in November
or whenever you tell us to release it, Lord, please
let let that be attached to my health. Let that
be attached to my children's health. I'm designating that seat
towards my children's health, my family's health, my health, me
(29:20):
being able to do well on my job and get promotions. Yeah,
you got It's on your heart. You gotta just you
gotta say it. You gotta say it, whether the mother
statements out there that we missed anything else, or to
find people those people at the time. You have to
be careful, Mickey, be careful. You can't give it all
to everybody. I did something out of my heart because
(29:42):
of the relationship I had I thought I had with
this person and they have drugged me through. I can't
believe that they will even fix their mind to do
what they've done to me. And my health became a
factor because I'm like, because every day I'm saying, what
did I do to this person to deserve this? I
just want my money back it. What did I do?
I don't want what you got. I don't really want.
(30:04):
I don't want nothing else to do. Just give me
back mine. But you at like, I don't know what
that is and I'll never understanding. So those are one
of the things that's why I had to give it
to finally give it to God. And because some of
y'all know how God treats my enemies. Vengeance is his,
vengees is his, and my happiness is in the Lord
(30:25):
because He's the author and the finisher of my faith.
I don't have to prove anything to anybody. If he
doesn't bless me anymore with favor, with anything. I'm satisfied
right now, right now. Thank God for his wisdom to
know when to say no. Thank you Elvi Janus Tennessee
in the house again. Thank you very true. Yes, yes,
(30:49):
so your happiness, as we just went over it, prosperity, joy,
the state of being. Happiness is attached to that. Do
you know how hard it is to drive with the smile?
That's gonna be your homework over the week. I want
as you're driving, I want you to just like that.
I want you to smile. I don't want you to frown.
You can't make I don't care if they jump in
(31:11):
front of you. I want you to see how hard
that is. See how hard that is the smile while
you're driving. That's funny, that's funny. Come on, And you
know my kids keep asking me some mom, what do
you want to do? Now? What do you want to do?
Because some doors have closed and I've sealed shut. You
don't even know that there was a door there. And
I'm you know, I'm God is good and I'm like,
(31:34):
you know what, I don't know honestly. So when we
got back in town Saturday, all I could do. I
greeted my dog and played with her a little bit,
and then I got on TV and just started going
back to all the shows because the TV in the
hotel room didn't They only went up to forty six channels.
I don't and you couldn't have said, hbowl, HBO on
(31:54):
there and HD and you couldn't get in there, get
on there. I learned a new happiness listening to the
show and participating in healthy others. Thank you, Missy, Thank you, Missy.
We love you so much. See how thing's changed. God
knows what we need. There was for some of y'all
that barrier had to break, That that shyness, that ooh,
(32:17):
I'm not worthy, they had to break. So he said,
I'll tell you what, here's the here's the challenge. Go
and feed some people, Go and do this for some people,
and come back and talk about it. You know, and
your testimonies. I've taken your testimony especially. I think it
was a misty with the little bit folks that you transport.
I can imagine. I can't even imagine that is the truth. Amen,
(32:39):
Thank you, as I can't imagine last week's show about guardianship,
not guardianian, but will I can see what the little
people say, Oh, mam, I beneficiary.
Speaker 3 (32:54):
Who told you that.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Whose name was on my checking it? Have a savings acount?
Is that the piggy bank that's in my room? Or
do you have my name at a bank somewhere? And
I know the parents are like looking at each other
like what's wrong? You know, But I don't know if
that happened or not. But I'm waiting for that testimony.
But you know, I laughed about that. I was laughing
thinking about that, you know, while I was out, and
(33:19):
it was so funny. I was like, Yeah, these kids
are there listening, you know, and they're taking that conversation back,
a healthy conversation back to their parents, like did you
know this? Is this true? Are you doing this? Are
you saving for us? Do we have a trust that
we don't know about? Can I put my little wagon
in the trust? You know, you got to put things
in the trust? And I hope the parents, you know,
(33:41):
didn't freak out. But you know, what is happiness to you?
What and at this stage, at this place in your life,
because I have a new normal every day so I celebrate.
What did I have to do. I had to open
up the top of the soap dispenser, right, the soap
that you'd hand soap that you get so I'm home.
But of course the whole cap is screwing off, and
(34:03):
I'm like, no, no, no, and I said, I'm gonna
put it here and I'll just have one of the
kids come. I said, no, what am I talking about?
So I got it, and I'm trying. I said, I
hope the soap no Papa for me? And finally I
got it. I finally yeah, you know, stuff be popping.
I'm like, oh my god, okay, oh, but I got it,
and I felt so happy because I love living there soap.
(34:24):
I'm Apple green girl, you know, cool breeze, you know,
and so I'm very particular about my soaps, even just
though it's a hands opening, even though I got one
hand saw that saw you anyway, you know. But yeah, yes,
I'm going to smile as I tried. When I listen too,
helps me to smile. Elder k But you know, you
(34:46):
know what.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
I think.
Speaker 4 (34:49):
Sorry, but listen to two different things like happiness. You
ever think about childhood and some of the things that
just made you happy, you know what it was Once
when I was working with adults, you know, doing mental
house skill building, and so one of the things I
would do is teach them how to use blowing bubbles
(35:12):
as a way to learn breathing technique. And I would
get the ones with the big ones and the ones,
you know, the little ones, so they can kind of
see and to try to focus redivert their focus on something.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
You know, look at the bubbles. What colors do you
see in the bubble? How high did that bubble go?
Speaker 4 (35:31):
You know, just and they would like it, and I
would love it, you know, I'm splashing bubbles. And it's
the little things that do that didn't get a chance
to do, like kite flying, but some of the things
that you just to watch a kite fly said, wow,
how did you get up there? While you know, I
can hold it up that high? Look at the wind,
(35:51):
take it and look hout it blows in the breeze.
Speaker 3 (35:54):
Just the little things.
Speaker 4 (35:55):
And I think kids, sometimes you have to resort back
to those those simple things that just make you happy.
And blowing bubbles. Like I said, they got the big ones.
Now you can make all kinds of things. You got
the bubble gun that you can just blow it all
these but you know, and if you got a pet,
pets love it because they like to chase the bubbles
and try to bite the bubbles. But it's it is amazing,
(36:19):
and I think sometimes people may forget have forgotten what
some childhoods can be like.
Speaker 3 (36:29):
But it's, you know, bringing back adult games.
Speaker 4 (36:33):
You know, just things you used to play, Trouble and
Twister and you know, candy Land. I know some adult
people like candy Land and that's one of the first
game board.
Speaker 3 (36:42):
Games you learned as child.
Speaker 4 (36:43):
You know, just different things because it takes your mind
off of adulting. At times, sometimes you need to escape
from adulting because adulting is stressful and it could be strenuous,
but you have to find a balance. And I just,
you know, want to encourage people to find things that
balance you thing, identify, write it down. When this is
happening to me, I'm going to resort to my toolbox,
(37:06):
whether it be calling somebody that I know that I try,
whether it be watching some of my favorite shows, listening
to my favorite songs. If you're feeling down, don't go
to anything that's melancholy. You don't want to go things
and talk about breakups and loss and stuff like that.
You want someone with some beat that will get you
moving and popping. You know, it's fun things like that.
(37:27):
And I think you did a homework of Simon Alisha
and people bought crayons and a coloring book. You know,
those are the things we used to do growing up.
Pages and pages of them. You know, I got markers
and stuff like that. And then you say, but I
have markets because I'm doing something else on the side.
Speaker 3 (37:45):
Then something that ever I'm doing.
Speaker 4 (37:47):
But I got markers and different things and adult coloring books.
Something that makes you happy, if only for five minutes,
if only for five just make a list of things
that make you happy, and when you feel a certain way,
go to that list or a toolbox, pulled something out.
I'll blow some bubbles for five minutes, or I'll do that.
(38:08):
But create something that balances you. Because it's a lot
going on. I see it at work, I see it
in the communities. I see it people doing their jobs.
It's talking here. People are going through some things and
it can be detrimental. It's some nasty things are happening
(38:28):
to people globally.
Speaker 3 (38:30):
You know, human rights stuff. You know, and I just.
Speaker 4 (38:36):
I think about stuff that I'm going through Bresting Lord
is not nearly as what other folks going through, you know,
And I'm saying wow, wow, and we can all be
in that same situation if something change, something drastically change.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
Well, thank you for bringing that up. Yes I have.
We had a homework assignment. We didn't get to it
too much last week, but I like that. Okay, audience,
I need to know. I know some of you text
me personally. He said, I got my coloring book and
my crayon, so I appreciate that. So I just wanted
to know, how did you feel just just doing one
one page? How did that make you feel? I want
(39:10):
to talk about that the few moments that we have.
Come on now, don't be shy. Now, don't be shot,
don't let me to let the teacher and me call
your name out. Come on now, talk to me. Even
if you didn't get a chance to do it, and
you're going to do it, that's fine, but I want
you if God wanted you to do that. And it's
oddly enough it was national Crayon and Crayon collection months
(39:31):
it is still that. That's the Creola company here one
of the dj announced on the Christian station that they're
doing they got a whole family pack of to come
into Crayola. I don't know what you could get with that,
but they're you know, they're honoring. He didn't go into
depth about this. You know, it's an awareness for this month.
(39:51):
But okay, that guy, so, I guess y'all didn't do anything. Huh.
Trey already says she did something, But y'all didn't do
anything where yet?
Speaker 3 (39:59):
Where?
Speaker 2 (39:59):
Yeah? I see you listening. I hope it's okay. I
got a page for one of the kids. Yeah, and
color the picture with them perfect. Yeah, So, how did
it make you feel? Misty crickets? Yeah, okay, somebody.
Speaker 4 (40:14):
Else you can, but you can, but you can, you know,
while we're feeling in time, but we can. It's never
too late. And then you could you have your other
people to have a color party, you know, coloring party
or something like that, and some fun, some chips and
little drinks or whatever and.
Speaker 3 (40:32):
Just have fun.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
You know, people you enjoy.
Speaker 4 (40:34):
You know, I was on vacation and with one of
my girlfriends, we put you know, she'd already started a puzzle,
but we do puzzles. We enjoy puzzles. That's one of
the things. And it's calm and it's relaxing. It's interesting,
depends on what com but that's something too.
Speaker 3 (40:51):
And you don't have to start with a big puzzle.
Speaker 4 (40:54):
Get your something maybe with two hundred pieces, one hundred pieces,
and don't you don't have to put it all in
one setting like the piece for the piece that's oh
that goes, you know. Sometimes it's okay, I got one,
maybe I can get two. So it's this simple thing
that you can do to kind of create a happiness
the midst of all this chaos and stuff.
Speaker 2 (41:15):
And you can do put the jigsaw on your phone
as well. I love that.
Speaker 3 (41:18):
I do that.
Speaker 2 (41:19):
There are three this game things I do, Puzzles, the
solitaire and missing things, go and find I'm starting then
when I get off the line. Okay, you know the
kids had fun too, see, I mean, you know, just
I didn't get the book and it's okay, I thought
it had I had somebody that didn't find them yet.
That's okay. Just go to the dollar store, mickey, don't
(41:40):
don't make this all out, you know, Oh my god,
you know, no, go to the dollar store. Get the
two two for one dollar and get a little pack
of crayons, eight crayons, and you you're good, you know.
But if y'all were to go to your different type
of community events like Hurricane Expo and stuff, you get
free crap. It's four of them in there, but you
(42:01):
get them for free. Okay. I'm just saying, And you
can store that stuff. I got a whole basketfull of
them over there, so I I don't have to buy crayons.
I got a whole bunch. But see, it's just a
little things like that. And you can get the safety
coloring books too, And that's a conversation for a Bible
study at your home about kids in the safety. See,
(42:23):
we got the material out there, but we're so busy
or we don't know, we forget. You know, you got
to slow it down. And that's one thing about this
arts and crafts and just taking a breather and taking
a steak k or a bak you breathe. When I
landed finally, I looked at my daughter. At some point,
I think it's maybe Thursday Friday, while we were walking
(42:43):
in them, I think it was Friday, and I said,
I conquered the thing. I conquered the thing. Now you
set the page, but I didn't finish it. In stage,
I used the crowns for the kids menu at a
restaurant's thank you, thank you stopped me from doing that.
Speaker 4 (43:00):
But yet you know, no, no, no, But that's congratulations,
though the congratulations are.
Speaker 3 (43:06):
I don't want to. I don't want to many.
Speaker 4 (43:08):
I don't want to minimize that because that is a
big feat in itself, and I'm just so proud of
you and you you are leading others to to to
conquer things that, to conquer things that that that bother
them more unnerved them. So I want to That's why
(43:29):
I love doing this show. It's people get to see
that we we we try to lead and guide, but
we also follow, you know, we also have to follow,
follow what God wants us to do and and and
try to and be confident. There's some things that I
want to conquer myself, and uh, it'll it'll get there,
(43:52):
It'll get there. But you know, but that's showing everybody.
It's a work in progress and we are not perfect.
We're flash we believe no, and so my.

Thank you Charles for asking it. But yeah, I stand
behind the cross. I'm not in front of the cross.
We don't know nothing. We stand behind the cross. So
I like to say that that that humbles me personally,
(03:43):
that sets my direction, That tells my flesh to stand down.
It's not about you. It's all about what God and
his people and the message for his folks tonight. Thank you, Charles.

without having such a clock, and just rejuvenate and and
meditate and pray and praise and just all of that.

What is that? And I watched people y'all seem happy.
I feel happy coming through the radio at the same
time we are. I mean, I don't know about table Trey,
but a whole load has come off my shoulders. I
went strategically. It wasn't so much a vacation. I have
not flown in an airplane for twenty nine years twenty
(05:37):
nine years. So I didn't eat anything or anything. I know,
my medical people are upset with me because I said, nope,
I'm not taking any chances. I'm going to be up
in the air. I can't just get up. I don't
want to cramp. I don't want my you know, I
didn't want my flesh to you know, start cramping. I
didn't want nothing, my feet to go numb, nothing. And
(05:58):
I had to toy between what what kind of shoes
do I take and things like that, and I need
to be able to put on clothes by myself. My
daughter went with me, but I don't like putting so
much on me on her as a heavy load. So
and I got on the plane. We had to get
through that. Thank god, they asked you to if you
need assistance, and so she's like, oh, yeah, you're gonna
(06:19):
need assistance. And so from Orlando to our first stop
because we had to take another plane because it's not
a straight flight. Orlando treated me, you know, got the wheelchair,
let's go, you know, and everything else. Got me right
up to the door almost of the plane. Once we
(06:39):
landed in North Carolina, there's a shortage at the airport
So if you know anybody that works in Charlotte, North Carolina,
you they need jobs at the airport. Their jobs has
got to be because there was nobody hardly in sight.
It was really kind of very It started that aggravation.
(06:59):
You know. The flight leaving, I was just talking to
God and I saw my angels show up, and I
was breathing and everything else and trying not to hear
the external noise of the plane, you know, going down
the tarmac and everything. I don't remember the last time
I got on a flight. Wow, miss DC. See I'm
not I'm not alone. But I had to I had
(07:20):
to add that up those years up. I had to
go back. Let's see, it was not I was. It
was in I was in AmeriCorps. And you know, I
had to add all of Donald was one, you know,
so twenty nine years ago, because he's gonna be thirty
one in October. So the flight people were nice and
and everything, but like I said, when we landed in Charlotte,
(07:41):
I don't know, I don't know. They were unhappy. I'm
talking about the staff. They were angry. One person was nice.
The man that checked us in. The person that checked
us in, he was nice and friendly and and but
and he was a little funny and stuff like that.
But it was just like everybody else was like, whoa,
what a day. I mean, it's like we knew where
(08:03):
their mindset was and that was kind of they were
talking out loud. Then we went on to our destination,
which was Tennessee and uh once again, uh it seemed
like they forgot uh to see the assistance checked off there.
It's just well, people are not happy and it's so funny.
I don't know if I mentioned it to my daughter then,
(08:24):
but I said, Monday Night show us about happiness, and
you know, I got the print in it up. I
can't make this stuff up. You know, it's a sad day.
It's a sad day because people are miserable. They were
rushing and you know, and hustling and bustling and and
you and and people brought their issues inside the store,
inside the restaurants, inside the whole tel. You can you
(08:47):
just I just I didn't want nobody to pull out,
you know, and start, you know, laying hands on folks.
I just wanted to just kind of let me get
to my room. Can I get to my room? The
hotel was just getting up on the sidewalk to walk
into the hotel. It's about a twelve inch sidewalk here
from the street, and I'm like, what am I supposed
(09:07):
to do with that? And I'm like, oh God, thank
god my daughter was here, you know, with me, because
somebody would have had to help me to get up
on the sidewalk just to walk into the hotel. And
it was all downtown. They're not meeting eighty eight requirements.
And I don't know whose job that it is, but
that sidewalk has been there forever and it's you know,
(09:30):
but you know, people, you know, the staring does nothing
to me, but you know, just getting in. I went
there to achieve, first to get on the plane for
the first time and to really be able to conquer
that just in case we have to flee Florida. And
then also I had some work that I needed to
do by p per God, and it went really well.
(09:54):
And as I'm coming back again, Tennessee was like they
didn't want on the wheelchair piece of it. And then
got to Georgia, I mean to North Carolina, and I
didn't expect I mean, and they were all the folks,
the staff that's supposed to do the wheeling. They're all
in and you know, sitting there laughing and everything. And
(10:16):
you got people who useful that wheelchair is ready for
them to get and get them and you standing there
and all that. So the North Carolina's not doing well.
Charlotte's airport is not doing well, not doing well. And
finally got a young lady and she was wheeling and
dealing and so to get me to our plane because
we only had twenty some minutes, and they changed the gates.
(10:36):
They kept changing the gates while we were there waiting.
I think in North the folks that got off of
North Carolina. We were in North Carolina and his husband
and wife and new baby. They're like, yeah, we had
to take the other plane. We took somebody's plane because
they had to order the door for the plane. The
door became loose or something, and they had the land
(10:58):
and get them all off the plane and put them
on another plane. So our plane became I was like, wow,
y'all ordered the door and that was being flown in
that is. We can't make this up. I told the gentlemen,
I said, you need it's a good book. Good evening.
Stephanie with the City Stephanie with the city. Hey, okay,
(11:21):
And so I was just like, y'all floated flying in
the door. What about our airplane? And now we got
all these people that have to transfer and get on
our plane and stuff, and to get get us to Tennessee.
Everybody was going to Tennessee. They were going there. They
weren't going down places, so there was another flight, but
they all had to get and I'm messing some some
of the passengers were fom but others was just they
(11:43):
just walked right in front of the wheelchair. I mean,
and my people were going they were just we gotta go.
And they were They weren't saying excuse me, they say
ooh nothing. They were like, okay, you hit her, Okay,
that's just you. Just we're gonna bump into you. People
were on their phones on their phones. It wasn't like
they were looking for their flight, because the people were
(12:04):
telling you where to go overhead, but they were talking
to people and just walking right in front of you,
just walking right in front of each other. Oh excuse me,
oh excuse me. If I mean, if it hadn't been
for the Lord on my side, I tell you. But
(12:25):
we met on back and again, like I knew North Carolina, well,
you know, being at the Tennessee Airport and then North Carolina.
I knew when I landed in Orlando, wheelchair God was
right there. I already know about. They came down to
the plane door to get me, and it made everybody
say okay. I no, y'all in a hurry, but chill
(12:46):
because she's priority, I said, And we're very courteous and everything.
The young man took me to the baggage. He said, no, ma'am,
you wait right here. Tell me what your baggage look like.
I mean, he went, you know, he did not have
to do that. I said no, and he wielding outside.
I said, okay, it's good. Our transport is going away,
so we're good. So let's talk about happiness. Now, let's
(13:08):
talk about happiness not The definition of happiness is a
state of well being and contentment. Joy, joy okay, a
pleasurable or satisfying experience, wishing you happiness in life and
and felicity and aptness, a striking happiness of expression and
good fortune. Prosperity uh oh. Definition number three. Prosperity, money
(13:35):
and happiness is connected a sense of wealth, a sense
of managing money management. There's a connection and I you know,
and some of the synonym words of felicity, fitness, propriety, rightness, uh, suitability,
you know, but people are not happy. I've been answering,
(13:58):
I'm a I am. I answer a lot of survey
still and one is you dot gov a lot and
I've been with them for years. And you can your rewards,
you can redeem your points and stuff like that from
anything from Adidas to Amazon to you know, oh, cash
in your bank account. And the latest one is, you know,
(14:22):
do you think the world is happy? Do you think
the world's in a better place right now? And I'm
like no, And my choices were, is the world in
a prevention mode or is it intervention mode? Or is no?
We're in crisis. We've been in crisis since I'd say
twenty twenty. For me, it was it was before that too,
but twenty twenty really just sucker punched us all. And
(14:45):
that's just my opinion. But yeah, I was answering that
survey actually today and I was like, no, we're in
crisis and we're gonna be here for a while because
now it's it's just time is winding up. It's like
that volcano is bubbling over it. It's time. It's time.
And people who are mistreating people, people who are not
(15:08):
saying speaking good will towards people, and people who are
judging people. Uh, people who are pointing fingers at people,
people who are lying. And I'm not talking about in politics.
I'm talking about your neighbor. I'm talking about somebody you
know who owe you money and they lying to the government.
All kinds of things, all kinds of things, and everything
(15:30):
is sporadic now everything you you know, you got to
be very careful. You got to be extremely careful now,
you know, and you've got to be watchful. But what
is happiness to you? What is happiness for me? Years ago,
I wanted everybody to be happy. I wanted everybody to
make it into heaven. I wanted everybody to be happy,
(15:50):
whatever that means, whatever that meant. And now, because I
realized over time and the closer I got to the Lord,
I counted more people who did not want to be
the Lord to be a part of their life, and
they were not telling the truth and all that kind
of stuff. So my, my, you know, I'm happy. I
(16:11):
had to figure out what my happiness is especially what
you know I've been through these last seven years. What
is happiness for me? Money don't make me happy. I
appreciate money, though I appreciate that I got it. I
had to go and get some insurance, medical, some medications
and stuff. I didn't like that. And everybody shocked, like
you not had any you know, medicare partsy plan? You
(16:33):
do not? No, because I didn't need it. And now
I got to appeal because they say, well, it looks
like you've not had insurance since you know. No, I
didn't need it. So now I got to, you know,
go and here's a fight. I got to go and
say I didn't need it, and I hope they understand that.
So anyway, getting back to happiness and everything, what is
(16:55):
happiness now? What does it look like now? You know
for you all, so trade you come on in first,
and then everybody else, you know, put your comments in there.
We're gonna get to you. That is a good question.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
Happiness It can be small, it can be very minute
or very grandiose. So like on the smaller end, it's
happiness could be enjoying your favorite food or being able
to access it, or it could be enjoying a nice day,
or being able to do some of the things that
(17:33):
you want to do. It doesn't it doesn't really take
a whole lot for me to be happy, like I
think on vacation, not just being able to wake up
without having to go anywhere, you know, wake up at
different times, go to sleep at different times, watch you know,
different shows if I wanted to. I really don't watch
(17:54):
a whole lot of television anyway, I cut that out
a while back.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
But just being able to enjoy what life has.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
To offer, not always work work work, you know, sometimes
you have to take time out for yourself.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
But it's enjoying people.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
That being around people that you enjoy, that make you happy,
that inspire you to uplift you, that motivates you, that
encourage you, that sometimes test you, because sometimes you need
that test to see what you're able, what you're capable
of doing, are you able to respond? And so it's
like I said, it's simple things nature, beach scenes, I mean, beautiful,
(18:37):
just I mean, I just I just sucked it all in,
I really did, you know.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
So, like I said, it's not a whole lot money. Definitely,
this is true. There's true, there's different yes, right, but.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
You grow, go ahead. I'm sorry, go ahead. Hard to
find those to find right?
Speaker 3 (19:02):
You are so right.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
But it's like I said, it's just really smart money.
I know, you need money to be able to survive.
You got to pay rent or place to stay. You
got to have food to eat, you got to shelter,
you have to have clothing, you have.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
To be able to pay bills and stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
But you know, being able to do so without worry
to sometimes cause happiness or happiness being able to have
something in some type of income for a lot of people,
just being able to have an income or have a job,
it's happiness, especially if you've experienced a time where you
weren't employed or you know, weren't you know able to
(19:43):
you know, it could be anything, you know, but for me,
those are similar things. Now, if I was fortunate to
be rich, of course that I think I can be
very happy with that because I would know some things
that I would want to do, you know, want to
bless people. I would want to uh do more unnecessarily
(20:07):
do more things that I enjoyed the human service field
without having to worry about doing things. Philanthropy that that
type of stuff, you know, I you know, Melitia. I
love the human service field and being able to explore.
Sometimes when you have things that you have to do
during the day, it's hard to kind of like work.
(20:31):
Sometimes work can can take you away from what your
passion is. Sometimes your work could be if you're fortunate,
your work could be your passion. But sometimes work there's
something that you just you need to be able to survive, right,
you know, just to live day by day.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
So you know, I just I feel for people that
are struggling.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Is a lot of like you said, a lot of hate,
a lot of lying, a lot of deception, a lot
of manipulation and stuff like that. And people are struggling
in employment. I see it all the time. People want
to halfway do their jobs or don't do it at all.
You know, that's not my position. I don't need to
(21:13):
do that.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
I said.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
Money does open more possibilities to help out. You're right,
but that's not my job, Christion. But I remember other
duties as a sign.
Speaker 5 (21:26):
I remember that people my job other duties as a
sponsor yeah number seventeen.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
Wait men, you know, yeah, so yeah, I would want
to be able to help people that, especially our most
vulnerable folks, you know, those with who are are elderly
or incapable, or have certain you know, disabilities, mental health.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
You know, just empowerment.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
I love it.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
I love to help people anyway. I I guess that's
a social work icide, just being able to do more
of it because there's a lot that needs to be done.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
So nothing.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
It's never gonna be ended. It's never gonna end. I'm
sorry to interrupt your tray. It's never gonna stop. I
want people to understand this, this poverty thing, all these
ills in society, it doesn't stop. It doesn't end until
the world is done. So God says, okay, I'm bringing
y'all home. Now, come on and let me give you
(22:30):
some rest. But every stage of your life there's different happiness.
First when you're first having children. Then you got that
little baby and you know that whole thing you you're
in that new marriage and relationship is fun. And then
it's like, oh, then it gets it and now you're
in year number five. You know, people, we don't look
the same anymore, we don't you know, and stuff, what
(22:53):
is the priorities? Some of usself don't have the jobs
that we used to have anymore. And as a social worker,
I learned early on that if I want to at
least try to make fifty thousand a year, I had
to have at least a full time job and two
part time jobs that would end up be full time.
Sad thing is the end may be coming sooner than
we think. Oh it is, but it's not. There's a
(23:14):
difference between the world is ending and the end of
the world. Let me break that down a little bit
better because I know we said that, you know, these
are end times, and that means biblically, these are in time.
So everything in the Bible that's supposed to come the
past is coming. The past. That's the end time. The
world ending will be when the world ends, there's nothing
(23:37):
breathing anymore. Plan like everything's gone. However that's going to be.
But it's the progression of that, it's the procession of that.
It's the journey of that that we're you know, time
is winding up for people. You know, I just solved
like three additional two to three people that we know
have passed away. Of the gentleman that paid the doctor there,
(24:00):
I think it was Scorpio in general hospital. He just passed.
And the guy who played on Superman stuff. He just passed,
and there's another person that just passed, so you know,
for their time is done. The world has come to their.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
World, Daniel Spencer, and.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
From what's happening. Yes, oh my gosh, you know, I
had no idea she was battling cancer in the early sixties,
so you know, and so no more can we say, oh,
they've lived a life of they're eighty seven. You know,
look at Malcolm, you know, he's in his fifties and
and you know, and so on and so forth. So
there's that difference. But how you're living it each day
(24:40):
is the I think it's the happiness that I really
I want to focus on how are you living? How
are you living? Because the folks I just encountered, whether
they were tourists or residents and two different cities states, rather,
they weren't happy. And I'm talking about both people behind
a count a punch of the time clock and people
(25:02):
who's supposed to be going on a vacation to get free.
But yeah, that's that I agree with you, Trey. I
was able to. I had to do something specific along
the way. But I also want to, you know, give
my daughter times and she wanted to go to the mall.
So I said, okay, we're going to the mall. We'll
get an uber. And did y'all know that you can't
rent a car without a major credit card. I know
(25:23):
most of y'all got them. I don't, So you cannot.
They don't want your debit card, they don't want your cash.
You cannot. You have to have a major credit card.
So we had to utilize taxis, ubers and the pastor
who we went to visit at the church we went
to visit. Pastor gave us a ride for the whole day,
took us around and and it was our tour guide
on Thursday. But we you know, we met nice taxi people.
(25:46):
We got one guy was uber. He was kind of weird,
but you know, I just I had my eye on him.
He looking at me through the mire and I'm looking
at him. You know, let's go, son, I know where
I'm at. I know how to get back to the
hotel too, Let's go. You know, we're looking at her daughter.
You don't know her and you don't know us. Okay, anyway, Yeah,
(26:08):
but you know, what is happiness at this stage of
the game. What's happiness for you? What does it take
because you look at the reality shows and everybody, at
least one person on there has a therapist and they
got and they're toiling their hair. Yeah, they're twirling their hair,
especially the Kardashian you know, you know you got pieces
(26:28):
in your head now, not all that hair is theirs.
So all the secrets come out and stuff like that,
and you're like, okay, you're normal. Wow, you know so
you know some of the questions there, I think we
if you can play those back forwards rebel sad thing
and is coming to answering and then we think, yeah, yeah, yeah,
(26:50):
money doesn't open it does open more possibilities to help
others now. And thank you for saying that, Anastagia, because
you still got to be careful. The Bible said, don't
don't cast your money to pigs to line. Okay, be
careful where that money is going, because you wanted to
come back to you however, whether it's favor, whether it's
good health, whether it's monetary, whether it's a better place
(27:11):
to live, a better car to drive. You want that
coming back. So you need to be listening to God saying,
because he'll tell you I don't, I don't, I don't
give to everybody I see and seeds that he's had
me planned that behind closed doors, people don't even know
it's coming. Amen. So and he blesses me openly, I said, word,
he said, I'll reward you that what you do in secret,
(27:33):
I will reward you openly. Amen. So be careful now,
even more so where you're planting your seed. Now, I
know there's a group of y'all working on some items
or for Thanksgiving and things like that. So as you're
putting money into that, you're buying that that crochet needle,
you're buying that material, that yarn is that's all seed money?
(27:54):
Did you mentioned Billy Bobs? He passed on in June? Oh,
Billy Cobbs. I'm sorry. He was an amazing and man,
I'm not sure if that was in June, though I'm
sure it came up on Facebook. I'm not sure. I
don't The name doesn't sound for me to me. But
for those of you who are planting, you you're giving
your money, You're going to get your You're going out
of your way to go to the little thrift shop
(28:16):
that's gonna have the yarn on sale and and you know,
or at a discount of price. That's all seed offering there,
that's all seed offering, okay. And what you do is
designate that seed is. He's like, Okay, I got to
do my part on the croche, you know, I got
to do my section of the patch work, the clip
work or whatever. That's money you're giving, and that's God
(28:36):
will count that as a seed offering because he's asking you,
he's telling you to do that, he's governing you. He's
placed that on your hearts. The time you spend talking
about that organizing that, that's seeding time. So what you
have to do is you need to designate the seed Lord,
is I'm going to buy this this knitted, this uh yarn,
and the equipment, the supplies that I need. Lord, Please,
(29:00):
if I would like to see this as I'm seeding
this to whoever we're gonna send it to in November
or whenever you tell us to release it, Lord, please
let let that be attached to my health. Let that
be attached to my children's health. I'm designating that seat
towards my children's health, my family's health, my health, me
(29:20):
being able to do well on my job and get promotions. Yeah,
you got It's on your heart. You gotta just you
gotta say it. You gotta say it, whether the mother
statements out there that we missed anything else, or to
find people those people at the time. You have to
be careful, Mickey, be careful. You can't give it all
to everybody. I did something out of my heart because
(29:42):
of the relationship I had I thought I had with
this person and they have drugged me through. I can't
believe that they will even fix their mind to do
what they've done to me. And my health became a
factor because I'm like, because every day I'm saying, what
did I do to this person to deserve this? I
just want my money back it. What did I do?
I don't want what you got. I don't really want.
(30:04):
I don't want nothing else to do. Just give me
back mine. But you at like, I don't know what
that is and I'll never understanding. So those are one
of the things that's why I had to give it
to finally give it to God. And because some of
y'all know how God treats my enemies. Vengeance is his,
vengees is his, and my happiness is in the Lord
(30:25):
because He's the author and the finisher of my faith.
I don't have to prove anything to anybody. If he
doesn't bless me anymore with favor, with anything. I'm satisfied
right now, right now. Thank God for his wisdom to
know when to say no. Thank you Elvi Janus Tennessee
in the house again. Thank you very true. Yes, yes,
(30:49):
so your happiness, as we just went over it, prosperity, joy,
the state of being. Happiness is attached to that. Do
you know how hard it is to drive with the smile?
That's gonna be your homework over the week. I want
as you're driving, I want you to just like that.
I want you to smile. I don't want you to frown.
You can't make I don't care if they jump in
(31:11):
front of you. I want you to see how hard
that is. See how hard that is the smile while
you're driving. That's funny, that's funny. Come on, And you
know my kids keep asking me some mom, what do
you want to do? Now? What do you want to do?
Because some doors have closed and I've sealed shut. You
don't even know that there was a door there. And
I'm you know, I'm God is good and I'm like,
(31:34):
you know what, I don't know honestly. So when we
got back in town Saturday, all I could do. I
greeted my dog and played with her a little bit,
and then I got on TV and just started going
back to all the shows because the TV in the
hotel room didn't They only went up to forty six channels.
I don't and you couldn't have said, hbowl, HBO on
(31:54):
there and HD and you couldn't get in there, get
on there. I learned a new happiness listening to the
show and participating in healthy others. Thank you, Missy, Thank you, Missy.

knows what we need. There was for some of y'all
that barrier had to break, That that shyness, that ooh,

I'm not worthy, they had to break. So he said,
I'll tell you what, here's the here's the challenge. Go
and feed some people, Go and do this for some people,
and come back and talk about it. You know, and
your testimonies. I've taken your testimony especially. I think it
was a misty with the little bit folks that you transport.
I can imagine. I can't even imagine that is the truth. Amen,
(32:39):
Thank you, as I can't imagine last week's show about guardianship,
not guardianian, but will I can see what the little
people say, Oh, mam, I beneficiary.

Is that the piggy bank that's in my room? Or
do you have my name at a bank somewhere? And
I know the parents are like looking at each other
like what's wrong? You know, But I don't know if
that happened or not. But I'm waiting for that testimony.
But you know, I laughed about that. I was laughing
thinking about that, you know, while I was out, and
(33:19):
it was so funny. I was like, Yeah, these kids
are there listening, you know, and they're taking that conversation back,
a healthy conversation back to their parents, like did you
know this? Is this true? Are you doing this? Are
you saving for us? Do we have a trust that
we don't know about? Can I put my little wagon
in the trust? You know, you got to put things
in the trust? And I hope the parents, you know,
(33:41):
didn't freak out. But you know, what is happiness to you?
What and at this stage, at this place in your life,
because I have a new normal every day so I celebrate.
What did I have to do. I had to open
up the top of the soap dispenser, right, the soap
that you'd hand soap that you get so I'm home.
But of course the whole cap is screwing off, and
(34:03):
I'm like, no, no, no, and I said, I'm gonna
put it here and I'll just have one of the
kids come. I said, no, what am I talking about?
So I got it, and I'm trying. I said, I
hope the soap no Papa for me? And finally I
got it. I finally yeah, you know, stuff be popping.
I'm like, oh my god, okay, oh, but I got it,
and I felt so happy because I love living there soap.
(34:24):
I'm Apple green girl, you know, cool breeze, you know,
and so I'm very particular about my soaps, even just
though it's a hands opening, even though I got one
hand saw that saw you anyway, you know. But yeah, yes,
I'm going to smile as I tried. When I listen too,
helps me to smile. Elder k But you know, you
(34:46):
know what.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
I think.
Speaker 4 (34:49):
Sorry, but listen to two different things like happiness. You
ever think about childhood and some of the things that
just made you happy, you know what it was Once
when I was working with adults, you know, doing mental
house skill building, and so one of the things I
would do is teach them how to use blowing bubbles
(35:12):
as a way to learn breathing technique. And I would
get the ones with the big ones and the ones,
you know, the little ones, so they can kind of
see and to try to focus redivert their focus on something.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
You know, look at the bubbles. What colors do you
see in the bubble? How high did that bubble go?
Speaker 4 (35:31):
You know, just and they would like it, and I
would love it, you know, I'm splashing bubbles. And it's
the little things that do that didn't get a chance
to do, like kite flying, but some of the things
that you just to watch a kite fly said, wow,
how did you get up there? While you know, I
can hold it up that high? Look at the wind,
(35:51):
take it and look hout it blows in the breeze.
Speaker 3 (35:54):
Just the little things.
Speaker 4 (35:55):
And I think kids, sometimes you have to resort back
to those those simple things that just make you happy.
And blowing bubbles. Like I said, they got the big ones.
Now you can make all kinds of things. You got
the bubble gun that you can just blow it all
these but you know, and if you got a pet,
pets love it because they like to chase the bubbles
and try to bite the bubbles. But it's it is amazing,
(36:19):
and I think sometimes people may forget have forgotten what
some childhoods can be like.
Speaker 3 (36:29):
But it's, you know, bringing back adult games.
Speaker 4 (36:33):
You know, just things you used to play, Trouble and
Twister and you know, candy Land. I know some adult
people like candy Land and that's one of the first
game board.
Speaker 3 (36:42):
Games you learned as child.
Speaker 4 (36:43):
You know, just different things because it takes your mind
off of adulting. At times, sometimes you need to escape
from adulting because adulting is stressful and it could be strenuous,
but you have to find a balance. And I just,
you know, want to encourage people to find things that
balance you thing, identify, write it down. When this is
happening to me, I'm going to resort to my toolbox,
(37:06):
whether it be calling somebody that I know that I try,
whether it be watching some of my favorite shows, listening
to my favorite songs. If you're feeling down, don't go
to anything that's melancholy. You don't want to go things
and talk about breakups and loss and stuff like that.
You want someone with some beat that will get you
moving and popping. You know, it's fun things like that.
(37:27):
And I think you did a homework of Simon Alisha
and people bought crayons and a coloring book. You know,
those are the things we used to do growing up.
Pages and pages of them. You know, I got markers
and stuff like that. And then you say, but I
have markets because I'm doing something else on the side.
Speaker 3 (37:45):
Then something that ever I'm doing.
Speaker 4 (37:47):
But I got markers and different things and adult coloring books.
Something that makes you happy, if only for five minutes,
if only for five just make a list of things
that make you happy, and when you feel a certain way,
go to that list or a toolbox, pulled something out.
I'll blow some bubbles for five minutes, or I'll do that.
(38:08):
But create something that balances you. Because it's a lot
going on. I see it at work, I see it
in the communities. I see it people doing their jobs.
It's talking here. People are going through some things and
it can be detrimental. It's some nasty things are happening
(38:28):
to people globally.
Speaker 3 (38:30):
You know, human rights stuff. You know, and I just.
Speaker 4 (38:36):
I think about stuff that I'm going through Bresting Lord
is not nearly as what other folks going through, you know,
And I'm saying wow, wow, and we can all be
in that same situation if something change, something drastically change.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
Well, thank you for bringing that up. Yes I have.
We had a homework assignment. We didn't get to it
too much last week, but I like that. Okay, audience,
I need to know. I know some of you text
me personally. He said, I got my coloring book and
my crayon, so I appreciate that. So I just wanted
to know, how did you feel just just doing one
one page? How did that make you feel? I want
(39:10):
to talk about that the few moments that we have.
Come on now, don't be shy. Now, don't be shot,
don't let me to let the teacher and me call
your name out. Come on now, talk to me. Even
if you didn't get a chance to do it, and
you're going to do it, that's fine, but I want
you if God wanted you to do that. And it's
oddly enough it was national Crayon and Crayon collection months
(39:31):
it is still that. That's the Creola company here one
of the dj announced on the Christian station that they're
doing they got a whole family pack of to come
into Crayola. I don't know what you could get with that,
but they're you know, they're honoring. He didn't go into
depth about this. You know, it's an awareness for this month.
(39:51):
But okay, that guy, so, I guess y'all didn't do anything. Huh.
Trey already says she did something, But y'all didn't do
anything where yet?
Speaker 3 (39:59):
Where?
Speaker 2 (39:59):
Yeah? I see you listening. I hope it's okay. I
got a page for one of the kids. Yeah, and
color the picture with them perfect. Yeah, So, how did
it make you feel? Misty crickets? Yeah, okay, somebody.
Speaker 4 (40:14):
Else you can, but you can, but you can, you know,
while we're feeling in time, but we can. It's never
too late. And then you could you have your other
people to have a color party, you know, coloring party
or something like that, and some fun, some chips and
little drinks or whatever and.
Speaker 3 (40:32):
Just have fun.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
You know, people you enjoy.
Speaker 4 (40:34):
You know, I was on vacation and with one of
my girlfriends, we put you know, she'd already started a puzzle,
but we do puzzles. We enjoy puzzles. That's one of
the things. And it's calm and it's relaxing. It's interesting,
depends on what com but that's something too.
Speaker 3 (40:51):
And you don't have to start with a big puzzle.
Speaker 4 (40:54):
Get your something maybe with two hundred pieces, one hundred pieces,
and don't you don't have to put it all in
one setting like the piece for the piece that's oh
that goes, you know. Sometimes it's okay, I got one,
maybe I can get two. So it's this simple thing
that you can do to kind of create a happiness
the midst of all this chaos and stuff.
Speaker 2 (41:15):
And you can do put the jigsaw on your phone
as well. I love that.
Speaker 3 (41:18):
I do that.
Speaker 2 (41:19):
There are three this game things I do, Puzzles, the
solitaire and missing things, go and find I'm starting then
when I get off the line. Okay, you know the
kids had fun too, see, I mean, you know, just
I didn't get the book and it's okay, I thought
it had I had somebody that didn't find them yet.
That's okay. Just go to the dollar store, mickey, don't
(41:40):
don't make this all out, you know, Oh my god,
you know, no, go to the dollar store. Get the
two two for one dollar and get a little pack
of crayons, eight crayons, and you you're good, you know.
But if y'all were to go to your different type
of community events like Hurricane Expo and stuff, you get
free crap. It's four of them in there, but you
(42:01):
get them for free. Okay. I'm just saying, And you
can store that stuff. I got a whole basketfull of
them over there, so I I don't have to buy crayons.
I got a whole bunch. But see, it's just a
little things like that. And you can get the safety
coloring books too, And that's a conversation for a Bible
study at your home about kids in the safety. See,
(42:23):
we got the material out there, but we're so busy
or we don't know, we forget. You know, you got
to slow it down. And that's one thing about this
arts and crafts and just taking a breather and taking
a steak k or a bak you breathe. When I
landed finally, I looked at my daughter. At some point,
I think it's maybe Thursday Friday, while we were walking
(42:43):
in them, I think it was Friday, and I said,
I conquered the thing. I conquered the thing. Now you
set the page, but I didn't finish it. In stage,
I used the crowns for the kids menu at a
restaurant's thank you, thank you stopped me from doing that.
Speaker 4 (43:00):
But yet you know, no, no, no, But that's congratulations,
though the congratulations are.
Speaker 3 (43:06):
I don't want to. I don't want to many.
Speaker 4 (43:08):
I don't want to minimize that because that is a
big feat in itself, and I'm just so proud of
you and you you are leading others to to to
conquer things that, to conquer things that that that bother
them more unnerved them. So I want to That's why
(43:29):
I love doing this show. It's people get to see
that we we we try to lead and guide, but
we also follow, you know, we also have to follow,
follow what God wants us to do and and and
try to and be confident. There's some things that I
want to conquer myself, and uh, it'll it'll get there,
(43:52):
It'll get there. But you know, but that's showing everybody.
It's a work in progress and we are not perfect.

figure ads, but it was making its own design and
stuff that that because you had no control. You couldn't see.
You can't make nothing that we could see. You couldn't
make a coffee cup, you can't make a pen you
can't make a dog. And you just had to have
that plate paper plate over that pencil and it couldn't
