  Speaker 1: Here's your host, Alex Garrett. Alright, well, the next three
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: days I'm going to chronicle my mindset after a really
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: solid weekend honoring my dad watching Saint John's baseball take
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: on Georgetown, a matchup we watched, uh when I was
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: a prospective student in two thousand and nine and the
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Johnny's baseball team opened up City Field against Georgetown. So
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: seeing that matchup now seventeen years later was pretty uh awesome.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: And the kids are great, and I know the assistant coach,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Garrett'scavelli one helped St. John's win the Big Eiast Baseball
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: title a couple of years ago with a tremendous third
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: out in the ninth inning. And then yesterday little one
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: with a friend of mine, we watched at City Field
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: the A's take on the Mets. Of course, Mets baseball
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: has been in my blood for a long time as
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: much as the Yankee baseball has been. And I'm going
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: to the game tonight not only because it's the honor Dad,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: but I do want to see Mike Trout bat in person.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Plus Sheriff needs to be in town for the Yanks
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: tonight because they're on a five game losing street that
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: cannot uh keep going. I wanna kind of go up
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: there and put a an overview and overlook to this
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: team and see what's going on, dissect it maybe for
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: one that got Alex media with my own eyes. But
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: I did all that because today, three years ago, I'm
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: doing that tonight too, But because three years ago I
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: walked into my dad's room, his hospital room, and he
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: wasn't really responding. He had just made it through his
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: last Easter. And uh, this was Thursday, April thirteenth, twenty
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: twenty six. I remember it so well. I remember it
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: so well cause when I walked in and saw I'm unresponsive,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: I immediately called the folks at the station and I said, look,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: this could this could be nearing the end here, like
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: he's not doing well, he's unresponsive, I gotta stay. The
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: staying ended up being two days long, and I didn't
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: overnight Thursday to Friday, and I remember my coming upstairs
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: with me to see him, and that would be his
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: final time alive because he was resting and I needed
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: her to be part of this with me. And so
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: she came upstairs and saw him sleeping heavily, and he
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: was talking here and there about as a three day series,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: because this is how I'm going to process with you
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: the audience at one look at Balax Media. How my
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: dad's final a few days weren't went something says to
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: historically document this with you on this platform. Anyhow, we
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: go down the chapel and my mom says, you know,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: your dad is dying. And that was a really rough
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: thing to say and to hear. I mean, because she
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: was right and I was seeing it, and I had
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: to drop everything and literally spend those two days during
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: the week with my dad. And I'll explain more tomorrow
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: about the Friday, but the sight of him unresponsive was
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: one of the most chilling things. And I think, I'm
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: not gonna show my dad, but I'll show what my
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: mom did for him. She put my Cup shirt in
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: front of his at his feet because she knew he
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: was a Cup fan, obviously, and she knew it would
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: be the right thing to do. Like I had tied
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: palms a few days earlier to the back of his
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: bed spittle, my mom put a cubshirto on it, and
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: I have that picture still. But I tell you why
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: I'm on the podcast tonight, not just to talk about it,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: for a second. But it's because I am now looking
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: at the Daily Word, which is produced by Unity Publication.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: I am for April thirteenth, twenty twenty six. The topic
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: is Divine Order, aligning my thoughts with spiritual truth. I
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: am Divine Order. Affirming divine order can be such a comfort,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: especially when chaos seems to rain and a desired outcome
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: feels out of reach. But divine order is so much
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: more than a comforting idea. It is a spiritual truth
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: that undergirds all things and upon which all manifestation depends.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: If I feel out of step with divine order, I
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: don't try to hin tackle the chaos that surrounds me
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: until I have gone within Firse. I begin by meditating
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: on the idea of order, letting it take root in
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: my consciousness and let it flourish there. Then give thanks
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: for the ideas I receive from my prayer time and
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: act upon them one at a time. I practice patients
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: as I trust divine timing, knowing my life and all
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: life is in divine order. Of course, my dad passed
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: on April fifteenth, twenty twenty three, and that time he
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: couldn't have been any more. John Garrett esque. He left
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: the world on tax Day and that was one of
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: his favorite days in his accountant And that's pretty intriguing
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: to me always that he passed away on tax Day,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: and those three days that started today all felt like
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: divine order. Sad, divine order, but divine order. Just like
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: me taking him out of where he was staying and
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: into the ambulance to the hospital felt like divine order.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: And timing. This does two and in life's current moments,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: I feel like it's always in the order of Milchisa
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: dek in divine order. There is a timing to it.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: As my friend I went to the game with yesterday
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: and I say, when star is a line, stars a line.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: And thus began the three day journey watching my dad
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: pass away. And it seems so weird to say it
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: like that, but that's what it was. And I'll give
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: you Tuesday's prayer Tuesday, April fourteenth, tomorrow thanks to the
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Daily Word, and I want to leave you with this note.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna start a series called the Monday Mindset thanks
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: to Rory McElroy. Dad's favorite thing to watch was golf.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: He loved Rory McElroy and of course Rory McElroy yesterday,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: joining just three other legends in the golf world Tiger Woods,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Nick Faldough and Jack nicklus As a back to back
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Masters champion, And if you watch the Amazon Sports Prime
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Amazon Prime Sports documentary on him, he had a great line.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: And I want to share that with you right now. Actually,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: it's not belief, it's knowing knowing that you're going to win.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: I do believe belief comes into things, into divine timing,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: the believing in the divine timing. But when you know
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: it's right, you know it's right. I kind of phrase
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: that in a life sense, but it isn't about belief.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: It's about knowing you're going to win. And I think
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: in life it's about knowing. The phrase always is when
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: you know, you know. And on April thirteenth, twenty twenty three,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: my dad was starting to know his time was coming,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: and I wasn't gonna leave his side for one iota.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: These next twenty four hours. I'll tell you about how
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: that last Friday and my dad's life turned out tomorrow,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: but I want to live you with that Monday mindset
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: because it's about knowing you're going to win. And we
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: all know my dad won it life right up until
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: the very end.
