  Speaker 2: One and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Man o,
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: man o man. I thank God for it.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: I thank God for all He's done for me, for
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: all the little things that I oftentimes failed to thank
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: him for that I take for granted for you know,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: I was. I was talking the other day to a
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: buddy of mine. We had gotten to this conversation about
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: God and and and in the conversation we had narrowed
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: it down and we were talking about changing the way
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: we are as people. You know that everybody has to change.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: You know, nothing stays the same. Everybody changes, and a
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: lot of these changes can be for the good, and
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: a lot of them are just They just come with time,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: you know. Sometimes it's aging that changes us. But no
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: matter how old you get, you still have the ability
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: to improve as a person. You may not have the
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: footspeed you used to have. You may not be as
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: agile as you used to be. Your energy level may
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: not be what it used to be. Your desire to
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: do some of the things that you used to do
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: may be gone.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: The thing that.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Doesn't have to change and will not change is you
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: you have the ability to continue to grow as a
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: person even when father time and nature has taken its course.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: We were talking about everybody can change and everybody has
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: uh the right to reinvent themselves as they get older,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: and I equated it to jumping out of an airplane.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: You know, there are some people man who get to
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: a certain point in their life and they and they
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: jump from the airplane. Is now almost a stunt of
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: some kind. It's almost like they lifed and got out
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: of control. You ever seen somebody jump out an airplane
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: and the parachute don't open, and they life start and
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: it seems like they start spinning and tumbling and they
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: can't get it together. And I've seen some mid air
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: rescues before. But then there are times when you know
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: when it hasn't worked. You know, you jump out that
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: airplane and at first it's fun. I've never Scott dived before,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: but I would imagine when you first jump out of
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: an airplane that that people describe it as a sense
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: of being free, and that it's exhilarating when you first
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: jump out the plane. But if you pull that cord
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: and nothing happens, it never happened to me, But I
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: can only imagine the panic that's got to set in
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: because no matter how fun it was a moment ago,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: the flying over to one another, the holding hands in
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: the air, the breeze, the descent, the feeling of all
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, if you reach for that cord and
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: it's not there, you're suddenly spinning out of control. And
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: that's what happens in a lot of people's lives. When
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: you first start your life, you jump out the plane,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: you free you young, you ain't got nothing to worry about.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: The Then you get to a certain point in your
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: life when you go, okay, I'm.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Gonna pull the cord now.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: And pulling the cord is an important thing, because here's
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: the analogy my friend gave me. He said, man, use
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: your mind like a parachute. It works better when it's open. Well,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: see what happens with a lot of people is they
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: they in life. They jump out the plane and they
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: and they having this free fall and it's fun for now.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: But they get to a certain point in their life
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: where they got theirself in a situation, or they've had
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: a little bit too much fun, a little bit too long,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: or you know, they wasn't open to nothing, and they
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: just did what they wanted to do, or they started
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: getting involved with drugs or drinking or started running with
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: the wrong people.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: See you jump out the plane.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: At first, you're free falling this fun but then after
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: a minute, man, something happens and they realize whoa and
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: they reach for the cord, and the chord don't work.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Now you're in a panic stricken situation. And my suggesting
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: that what I've learned from the analogy that my friends
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: shared with me is that we all the sooner we
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: can open our mind to God, the sooner we could
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: develop that relationship with him. It's like pulling the chord
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: and opening a parachute. If you open up.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Your mind to God, God is like a parachute. You know.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: God can slow your descent.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: God can turn this out of control freefall into a
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: nice ride for you. See, that's what happened to me.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: I was spinning out of control. I had gotten myself
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: into a point. Man, Why I wasn't doing real good.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Oh y'all would look at me and think, man, stevee man,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Now I wasn't doing real good. I had spun out
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: of control. I was in a free fall, and I
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: reached for the chord, but I was so far away
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: the chord didn't open. Then I went to him and
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: I pulled the cord. When I went to God, I
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: pulled the cord and open, and he slowed my descent.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: And this is what I just believe. I don't believe.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Now that I age as fast as I was aging,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: because I got that parachute open. Now, you know, I
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: take better care of myself, eating, I work out more.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Now you know I'm not out of control. I have
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: a direction now that win. Then got up under that
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: parachute a little bit, you know, And now I'm I'm
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: 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
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: getting old. I'm still going going down. But the descent,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: because I've opened my mind to God, the parachute has
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: slowed my descent. And now I'm rocking back and forth.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: But I ain't in and out of control no more.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm able to enjoy the view.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: You know, when you jump out that plane and you
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: pull that cord and it don't work, you ain't looking
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: at the view no more. You're thinking of only one thing.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: How can I slow this down? Well, now I'm able
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: to enjoy the view. I'm able to see all the
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: beautiful things on the horizon that God has for me.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: I'm able to see all the beautiful things around me
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: that He's provided for me over these years because I've
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: slowed my descent. I use my mind like a parachute.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: It works better when it's open. Open your mind to
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: God and so you can see the view, so you
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: can slow the descent, so you can stop the out
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: of control free fall that you've been on. That you
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: can get your life together and see everything out on
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: the horizon that God has for you. You know, it
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: turned out to be a very true statement. Your mind,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: if you use it like a parachute, it works better
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: when it's open.
• 7:58
