• 3:32
  Speaker 1: I am so glad to meet you and enjoin you
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: tonight in the hot seat. In the hot seat. You
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: are in the hot seat. But it won't be too hot.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: I promise you it won't be too hot, because right
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: now it's all about you and your new book. But
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: before we get to your book, tell us a little
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: bit about yourself.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: Yes, I am Pamela nance Johnson. I am not necessarily
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: a new author. This is my new solo project, or
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: my first solo project, a thirty day devotional. You're not
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: too busy. It's God's time anyway. But before that, I
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: called myself the anthology author because my launch into the
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: literary world was through writing chapters in anthologies. It was
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: about twenty seventeen when I was looking for a writing conference,
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: but I wanted it to specifically be Christian, and I
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: wanted to be with some other women of faith. Just
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: so happened they happened to be women of color, so
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: that was definitely appealing as well. But the Christian Book
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: Lover's Retreat was a divine moment for me to find
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: that resource. I attended for two years as a reader
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: and kind of dabbled in, you know, speaking to people
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: and wondering, now, how do you get into this independent
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: self publishing world. But I'm sitting next to and attending
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: workshops with, you know, best selling authors who are very
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: down to earth and you know, not gatekeeping, as that
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: new term goes. But one person in particular that I
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: met just having lunch said to me, you just need
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: to start writing. That's what you need to do. So
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: next time I see you, she said, I want to
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: hear you call yourself an author. So I said, well,
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: I'm not quite ready yet. So that was twenty seventeen,
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: twenty eighteen, she saw me, we saw each other. She said,
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: are you Are you an author yet? I'm like no, ma'am.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: But twenty nineteen, the Christian Book Lover's Retreat has an
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: anthology call out for people to write. In this anthology,
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: it was called Back in the Day, and you have
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: to write a story that was your testimony of overcoming
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: a situation or being delivered from something of that nature.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: So I'm like, okay, this is my time, because I
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: said I'm not going to see her again and not
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: be able to answer because she kind of pushed me.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: But Roshinda pink Peakins lives out in the Midwest in Missouri,
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: Kansas City area, and she did not come to the
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: twenty nineteen but I reached out to her after that
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: and said, you know, I'm published now I did it,
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: So that was really how I got started, and from
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: there things just kept moving forward. I continue to attend
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: the Christian Book Lover's Retreat, and I'm sure that in
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: directly somebody pointed me in your direction through a connection,
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: because most of my network, and I'm very selective, have
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: come through someone by word of mouth through the Christian
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: Book lover story. So that's kind of how I got started,
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: and it all brought me to the place I am now.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: I appreciate those opportunities that came in those five or
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: six anthologies writing devotions with the guests, being a guest blogger.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, and it all brought me to where we
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: are now. So do you.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Feel that that that was great preparation for you to
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: get your own book out?
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, the premise or the design for You're not too busy.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: It's God's time anyway. I am a commuter. I work
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: in If anybody knows anything about the dmv DC Maryland
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: and Virginia area, if you work for the federal government,
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: most people commute into the district. My commute usually last
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: a minimum of an hour and a half ah hour.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: So I ride which you you would think it's a
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: charter bus something of that effect, but there are lots
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: of us who do that. I am on this bus
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: and I'm thinking, you know, there are people on here complaining,
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: people just you know, in the morning, just not very pleasant.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: Now I'm not the most chipper person earlier in the morning,
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: but I'm not complaining and you know, being negative and
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: all of that. But I chose to sit down. When
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: I sat in my seat, I said, well, this will
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: be my quiet time, so I wouldn't write and I'm
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: gonna pray for my family. I'm praying for these people
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: on this bus because people got things going on at
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: five thirty in the morning on the bus. Praying for
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: the bus driver. Can we get up and down this
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: highway to work and back home safely, because that's the blessing.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: Don't assume because you leave it home today that you're
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: gonna make it back safely. So I was praying for
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: those things, protection, safe travel, and then I got my
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: phone out. I love music, so I'm listen to a
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: few gospel songs and I would get a scripture. So
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: I'm having it developed into my own devotion time. And
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: it wasn't all the full ride because honestly I took
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: a little nap, but every morning I started doing that,
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: and then I started to folks post it on my
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: Facebook page. I'd say, on my way to work with
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: a prayer. Sometime I type out a prayer, other times
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: I just say, on my way to work with a prayer,
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: this scripture. I put the scripture and this song. I
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: go to YouTube and get a link to a song
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: or whatever song I'm listening to, so they all kind
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: of tied in together. I just did that for me,
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: but I shared it with my friends, anybody who was
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: paying attention. I started to get great feedback. Every now
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: and then somebody was say, you know what, haven't heard
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: that song in a long time, or you know, say
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: a prayer for me while you're praying, or you know,
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: that's one of my favorite scriptures, something to that effect.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: So I also begin to call these days like commuter
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: chronicles because those interesting things that happened on the bus
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: I put. You know, I'm riding the bus and this
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: lady back here is talking the whole way. I'm like, okay, man,
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: were trying to sleep, can you It was all I
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: can do one day to say, okay, Lord, I'm by,
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: I'm you know, right on my tongue because I'm a pleasant,
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: nice You said all those wonderful things about me. But
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: at five point thirty in the morning, we're trying to
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: get a little sleep before we, you know, get to work,
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: you are just chatty keithy. I'm like, old Lord, he's
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: either keep my tongue or do something about her. So
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: those kind of things I take to get inside myself
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: from him. Come down, talk to God, go to sleep.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: Five thirty in the morning, Yes, ma'am. Yes, and you
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: said an hour to hour and a half. I get
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: on the bus now at like five oh five, and
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: I pull up to my agency at around six or so,
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: little after six. But it takes me thirty minutes to
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: get to the commuter line to get on the bus.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: But I knew what I signed up for when I,
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: you know, did this. So yeah, but this.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: Is telling me not to complain about Charleston traffic anymore.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: Lord, I hear you.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: I will never complain. But you had that opportunity to
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: have that It's not like one on one personal time
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: because there are others around, but you so had that
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: chance to have that one on one with God and
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: be like, all right, my Lord, this kind of day
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: I need from you absolutely. So I would say that
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: that's like one of the best ways to well, it
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: is the best way to start your morning, but a
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: very productive way to deal with this long commute. And
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: then it turns into this beautiful book that I'm about
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: to show you guys right here on the screen. So
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: tell us a little bit about this devotion.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: So I am you see the people. I intentionally picked
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: pictures of people, like I said, for my community. I
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: wanted you to see that even if you're riding the
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: train or the bus, that that is your time. I
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: rode the train before the bus, and on the train
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: here they have a quiet car, which means that that
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: car is reserved, and there are little stickers up there
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: that say, you know, no talking and no turn your
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: cell phone off and all that type of thing. So
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: that was a little different. But I was very intentional
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: about including everyone as well, So I hope that I
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: did that. But you'll see the time the clock there
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: in the reference to the time, but it's not restricted
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: to everybody traveling. You could be on a plane, you
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: could be sitting in the waiting room, you could be
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: sitting in the you know, the line waiting for your
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: child to pick up from school, because each one of them,
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: they're not that long. Intentionally, I kind of hit it
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: and move on to the next one, meaning that I
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: will give you a little anecdote about me. Usually there
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: are some things that have happened in my travels and
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: I kind of highlight a little bit, or I share
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: a little bit about my fan. So I'll give you
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: that anecdote, and then you'll get a scripture and you'll
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: get some words a short message from me, and I
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: even asked your reflection question and there's a short prayer,
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: and oh I put a song suggestion. So I couldn't
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: put the link to the song, but I gave you
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: a song title and the artist. So I want you
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: to get the particular song, not just you know, amazing
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: grace by whomever. I want you to get this one.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: So I was very intentional on let me do these
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: three things and that's it. This is your Like you
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: said away to one of my friends, say what a
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: great way to command your day.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was just saying that is a way, especially
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: when you put that song at the end. A lot
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: of people don't do that. They would just I don't
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: want to say, cater you got, but for the lack
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: of words, they would cater with a passage. But if
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: you're somebody like me, I love music. Yes, right at
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: my desk, my coworkers will tell you music is my life.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Even at home. Music is just me and you putting
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: that that song at the bottom, that that that means
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: a lot to me. So I would like to say
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: thank you from all us audio reader readers and audio
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: music people, thank you for that.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: Absolutely because music is universal, but it can be uplifting,
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: it can be soothing, it can comfort you. I try
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: to give some diversity, but yes, the music was definitely
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: important to me as well, and I wanted to make
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: sure that the music spoke to the subject matter of
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: that particularly day.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: So now remember music, because we're gonna come back to
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: that later on.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: Okay, But I.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Would like to ask in which one of your devotions
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: I don't like to, but I will put you on
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: the spot is your favorite.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: So the probably one of the ones that I wrote
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: towards the end, and it's the most current in real time.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: Talked about this bus and it definitely emphasizes timing. So
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: we have a new bus route that I take, and
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: their drivers rotate every now and then. So one the
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: first driver that we had, he would come to the
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: bus stop early, so the bus pulls off at five
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: oh five, but he would be at the bus stop
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: probably at a quarter till five, which means that we
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: get out your car, get on the bus, get your
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: good seat and all that, and be relaxing until it's
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: time or until everybody else gets here. Well, this new
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: bus driver, he doesn't come early. People are out there
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: lined up, they complaining where is the bus driver. They
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: saw him get off the exit, but he didn't pull
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: up to the commuter lot. Where is he? Blah blah blah.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: I'm like, but it's not really five h five. He's
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: not late, he's on time. We just got so used
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: to him being the other driver being early that you
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: all got kind of spoiled. And now y'all murmuring and
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: complaining like the people in the Bible murmured and complained.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: But this new guy. They gave the man a hard time.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: So I put one in here about that that just
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: like we want God sometime to do things when we
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: wanted to do it. We wanted to be early, we
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: wanted to come right now, wanted instantaneously God, whow, I
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: gotta wake all of that. So these people standing up
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: in their bus stop doing just that. And the man
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: pulls up at five o'clock. Everybody gets on the bus.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: He pulls out a mm hmmm. You can't. You can't
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: tell me when not to come. He's right, you can't rush.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: I wonder why we want to rush God. I really
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: feel like God does us like he bakes the cake.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: You can't rush that cake. No, rush the cake. It's
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: gonna be half done. Just how it take his time?
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: And I guess and even with the younger generation, everything
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: so popcorny like pop, that's it the answer, they go.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: But yeah, we have to learn hes and just he said,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: I am God. Wait and see, wait and see. H
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: very very it's crazy how you talk about that. And
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: I just spoke to my daughter a little while ago,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: by patients, I just spoke.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: To her about it.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: So it's very, very, very timely that you said that.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: So tell us a little bit more about your book.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: What else can we expect from it? What you can
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: expect is to get a closer relationship. This is what
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: my desire is that when you look at a relationship,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: it takes time to build a relationship and you have
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: to spend quality time with someone to get to know
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: them and for them to get to know you. So
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: how else are you going to get closer in your
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: relationship or your faith walk unless you spend that time.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: So in these thirty days, I want to take you
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: on a journey, but I'm right there with you. I'm
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: giving you some guidance. I'm not trying to take the
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: place of like you said, Bible studies. Usually on Wednesday,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: nights some places Tuesday night. I dare not try to
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: take the place of your Bible study. What I want
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: to do is enhance it, to just give you something
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: a little extra, so that when you have that moment,
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: you might not have time to pull out the full
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: King James Bible and read the whole chapter, but you
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: might stick this book in your bag and be able
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: to say, this is day one. Let me see what's
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: going on, you know, let me study day one. It
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: might take you ten minutes at the most, and that's
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: including the song. But it's quality, not quantity, that is
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: the importance for me. So I want you, the readers,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: to get something out of this to build their relationship,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: whether you're a new believer and you need something easy
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: to read and something you can relate to, something that
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: is you know, we all go through we all get busy,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: but just pause for a few moments and spend some
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: time with God. You are not that busy. You're not
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: too busy there, dol. You gotta give him not time
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: if you expect the blessings from him. If you can
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: give his time, you will never get his blessing.
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: And you'll never get to know him fully. This morning
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: My song was on my Facebook Zion. Zion is calling
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: me to a higher place in praise. So how are
• 21:52

• 22:03
  Speaker 1: to go high if you don't have any time?
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: And if you're too busy? Somewhere in here I say,
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: if you're too busy, and then I heard this, if
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: you're too busy, then you're doing more than God ever
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: intended you to do. Your life. Can't be that busy
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: that you got time to do everything else except spend
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: some time with him. That's not what we're designed to do. Okay.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: I don't want to preach and you know, hit you

• 24:07
  Speaker 1: with everybody. There's some five am ms. I get up
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: and I fall back to sleep and I tell God,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: please forgive me. But then there's moment as I get
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: up and I have it playing on my TV or
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: on my phone, and I'm eyeing my daughter's clothes and
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: just starting to get that atmosphere correct for us to
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: have that great day. So I said, where are you
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: coming from? Well, guess what time to go back to
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: the hot seat. So remember we were talking behind the
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: scenes and I told you about those fun questions.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: Yes here yo, all right?
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: I have your devotion and you get to choose one
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: song that always puts you in the correct way mood feeling.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: What song? What it being? Why did you choose that song?
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: Let's see, I am going to go with Oh, okay,
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: I don't know now if I did, I'm sorry. I
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: don't know if I needed this song. But it is
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: my new favorite song. So can I give it to
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: you anyway?
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: It doesn't have in your book. Oh, it does not
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: have to be in your book whatever.
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: That's great because of the song is the promises of
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: God are yes and Amen. It's called Promises. It's by
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: Lisa Knowles. I love that song. I've never heard that
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: I could sing it. I'm not gonna sound good singing
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: because it's a female quartet group and I just love him.
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: You know how you talked about behind the scenes. We
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: were talking about the museum in Charleston, and you told
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: me about the church, the church scene, and how it
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: was the old church in the wooden floors. You could
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: just picture all of that. Lisa knows Smith I think
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: it's her last name, but Nose is in their K
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: N O W L E s. She is part of
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: the lead singer of the group. This is her song,
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: but it's called Promises and it just takes you there
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: because it's letting you know that God's promises are sure,
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: the yes and a man and it just has that
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: quartet feel. It's that foot stumping you know, it takes
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: you back. So it would fit right into that church
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: at the museum. But I love that song.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: I love that. I love that, so for me, that
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: same exact question, I would you guys this man's church
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: is run across the street from me and I could
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: never remember the name, but it's that song you fight on.
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: I love that song too.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: I love that song, so I can see that and
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: I wrote down that song, so I'm gonna listen to
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: that once we get off the air, I'm gonna take
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: a listen to it. Here's my next one question. Your
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: devotion has been turned into a daily special and you
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: can have your favorite gospel artists to do one of
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: the segments. Who would that gospel artist be and why did.
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: You choose them?
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Hmm?
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: It would be Shirley Caesar because Shirley Caesar is an icon, legendary, timeless,
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: because she's still she can relate to, you know, the
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: caravans when she sang with them, and then you could
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: bring her up to Kurt Franklin. So yeah, she and
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: I would want to give her her flowers while she's living.
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: I want to sit to chat with Shirley Seesar and
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: she just looks She's just beautiful. She just has a
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: beautiful spirit. When she sing a song, she's telling you
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: a story. Every song is a story, it's a testimony.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: So I would have to say, Shirley Caesar, oh see me,
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: you need.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: To hang out. Oh my god. I love Shirley Seesar,
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: and you are so correct that she was with the
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: Caravans and she turned around to do Kirk Franklin. I
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: loved her when she was with the Caravans because I
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: loved that old time gospel feel. Or my daughter loves her.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: When she did the rap song with Tie Trippitt and
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: she was rapping, and I was like, get hurt. This
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: lady has her gospel career has spound. Oh my god,
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: it's crazy. And she she just seems to evolve, but
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: she always has God in front.
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: Absolutely she was It's an evangelism type of music storytelling.
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: She going to pull you into that story. Whatever she's
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: telling me. This is how long it is that. I
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: remember my mother had eight track tapes of Shirley Caesar
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: plant in the you know, family stationa eight tracks.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: Oh my god. My grandmother went to go see her
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: in person. And this was before Hugo, so it was
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: twenty five plus years and she went on the stage
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: with Shirley Caesar and it was this build in that's
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: it's apartments now, but it was called County Hall and
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: he used to do all kinds of concerts there. And yes,
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: and even to today, I have one of my aunts
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: who loves Shirley Casar loved Shirley Sesaron still does. So
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: I had one more fun question for you. Okay, they
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: love your devotion. They say, you know what, now, we
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: want to do a documentary on you. What actress or
