  Speaker 1: Come on. Uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: you are listening to the voice, Come on, dig me now.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: One and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Man o,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: man o man. I thank God for it. I thank
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: God for all He's done for me, for all the
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: little things that I oftentimes failed to thank him for
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: that I take for granted for you know, I was.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: I was talking the other day to a buddy of mine.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: We had gotten to this conversation about God and and
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: and in the conversation we had narrowed it down and
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: we were talking about changing the way we are as people.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: You know that everybody has to change. You know, nothing
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: stays the same. Everybody changes, and a lot of these
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: changes can be for the good good and a lot
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: of them are just They just come with time, you know.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Sometimes it's aging that changes us. But no matter how
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: old you get, you still have the ability to improve
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: as a person. You may not have the foot speed
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: you used to have. You may not be as agile
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: as you used to be. Your energy level may not
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: be what it used to be. Your desire to do
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: some of the things that you used to do may
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: be gone. The thing that doesn't have to change and
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: will not change is you you have the ability to
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: continue to grow as a person, even when far the
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: time and nature has taken its course. We were talking
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: about everybody can change and everybody has the right to
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: reinvent themselves as they get older, and I equated it
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: to jumping out of an airplane. You know, there are
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: some people man who get to a certain point in
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: their life and they and they jump from the airplane.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Is now almost a stunt of some kind. It's almost
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: like they lifed and got out of control. You ever
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: seen somebody jump out an airplane and the parachute don't open,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: and they life start and it seems like they start
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: spinning and tumbling and they can't get it together. And
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: I've seen some mid air rescues before. But then there
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: are times when you know when it hasn't worked. You know,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: you jump out that airplane and at first it's fun.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: I've never scot dived before, but I would imagine when
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: you first jump out of an airplane that they people
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: describe it as a sense of being free, and it's
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: exhilarating when you first jump out the plane. But if
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: you pull that cord and nothing happens, it never happened
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: to me, But I can only imagine the panic that's
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: got to set in because no matter how fun it
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: was a moment ago, the flying over to one another,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: the holding hands in the air, the breeze, the descent,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: the feeling of all of a sudden, if you reach
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: for that cord and it's not there, you're suddenly spinning
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: out of control. And that's what happens in a lot
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: of people's lives. When you first start your life, you
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: jump out the plane, you free you young, you ain't
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: got nothing to worry about it. But then you get
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: to a certain point in your life when you go, okay,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna pull the cord now. And pulling the cord
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: is an important thing because here's the analogy my friend
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: gave me. He said, man, use your mind like a parachute.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: It works better when it's open. Well, see what happens
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: with a lot of people is they in life. They
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: jump out the plane and they having this free fall,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: and it's fun for now. But they get to a
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: certain point in their life where they got themself in
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: a situation, or they've had a little bit too much fun,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: a little bit too long, or you know, they wasn't
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: open to nothing, and they just did what they wanted
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: to do, or they started getting involved with drugs or
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: drinking or started running with the wrong people. See you
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: jump out the plane. At first you're free falling this
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: fun but then after a minute, man, something happens and
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: they realize whoa and they reach for their cord and
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: the chord don't work. Well. Now you're in the panic
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: stricken situation. And my suggesting that what I've learned from
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: the analogy that my friends shared with me is that
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: we all the sooner we can open our mind to God,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: the sooner we could develop that relationship with him. It's
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: like pulling the chord and opening a parachute. If you
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: open up your mind to God, God is like a parachute.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: You know. God can slow your descent. God can turn
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: this out of control freefall into a nice ride for you.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: See that's what happened to me. I was spinning out
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: of control. I had gotten myself into a point. Man,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Why I wasn't doing real good. Oh y'all would look
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: at me and think, man, stevee man, Now I wasn't
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: doing real good. I had spun out of control. I
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: was in a free fall, and I reached for the chord,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: but I was so far away the chord didn't open.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Then I went to him and I pulled a cord.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: When I went to God, I pulled the cord and open,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: and he slowed my descent. And this is what I
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: just believe. I don't believe now that I age as
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: fast as I was aging, because I got that parachute open. Now,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: you know, I take better care of myself, eating, I
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: work out more. Now you know I'm not out of control.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: I have a direction now that win. Then got up
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: under that parachute a little bit, you know, and now
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: I'm going You know I'm still getting older, you know so,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: but the descent is so slow. Now I'm able to
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: enjoy the ride. I'm guiding my parachute over. Sometimes we
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: go over to to a vacation spot over here, we
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: float back over to it. But you know, I'm still
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: getting old. I'm still going down. But the descent, because
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: I've opened my mind to God, the parachute has slowed
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: my descent. And now I'm rocking back and forth. But
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: I ain't spending out of control no more. You know,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: I'm able to enjoy the view. Now you know, when
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: you jump out that plane and you pull that cord
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: and it don't work, you ain't looking at the view
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: no more. You're thinking of only one thing. How can
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: I slow this down? Well, now I'm able to enjoy
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: the view. I'm able to see all the beautiful things
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: on the horizon that God has for me. I'm able
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: to see all the beautiful things around me that He's
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: provided for me over these years because I've slowed my descent.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: I use my mind like a parachute. It works better
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: when it's open. Open your mind to God and so
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: you can see the view, so you can slow the descent,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: so you can stop the out of control free fall
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: that you've been on. That you can get your life
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: together and see everything out on the horizon that God
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: has for you. You know, it turned out to be
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: a very true statement. Your mind, if you use it
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: like a parachute, it works better when it's open. Y'all here,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: it's the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
