  Speaker 1: Come on you. Uh huh, I sure will. Good morning
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: everybody you are listening to the voice, Come on dig
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: me now. One and only Steve Harvey got a radio show,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Man on Man on 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 in the conversation we had narrowed it
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: down and we were talking about changing the way we
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: are as people. You know that everybody has to change.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: You know, nothing stays the same. Everybody changes, and a
• 0:57
  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,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: you know. Sometimes it's aging that changes us. But no
• 1:06
  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
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: footspeed you used to have. You may not be as
• 1:19
  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
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: do some of the things that you used to do
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: may be gone. The thing that doesn't have to change
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: and will not change is you you have the ability
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: to continue to grow as a person even when far
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: the time and nature has taken its course. We were
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: talking about everybody can change and everybody has the right
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: to reinvent themselves as they get older, and I equated
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: it to jumping out of an airplane. You know, there
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: are some people man who get to a certain point
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: in 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
• 2:29
  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
• 2:41
  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
• 2:56
  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
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: exhilarating when you first jump out the plane. But if
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: you pull that cord and nothing happens, I've never happened
• 3:12
  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,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: the holding hands in the air, the breeze, the descent,
• 3:30
  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
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: jump out the plane, you free you young, you ain't
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: got nothing to war about it. But then you get
• 3:48
  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 allergy 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 and they having this
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: free fall and it's fun for now. But they get
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: to a certain point in their life where they got
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: themself in a situation, or they've had a little bit
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: too much fun, a little bit too long, or you know,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: they wasn't open to nothing, and they just did what
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: they wanted to do, or they started getting involved with
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: drugs or drinking or started running with the wrong people.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: See you jump out the plane. At first, you're free
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: falling this fun but then after a minute, man, something
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: happens and they realize whoa and they reach for the cord,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: and the chord don't work. Well. Now you're in the
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: panic stricken situation. And my suggestion that what I've learned
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: from the analogy that my friends shared with me is
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: that 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.
• 5:17
  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. See,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: that's what happened to me. I was spinning out of control.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: I had gotten myself into a point, man, where I
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: wasn't doing real good. Oh y'all would look at me
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: and think, man, stevee man, Now I wasn't doing real good.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: I had spun out of control. I was in a
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: free fall, and I reached for the chord, but I
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: was so far away the chord didn't open. Then I
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: went to him and I pulled the chord. When I
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: went to God, I pulled the cord in open, and
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: he slowed my descent. And this is what I just believe.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: I don't believe now that I age as fast as
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: 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 I'm going You know, I'm still getting older, you
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: know so, but the descent is so slow. Now I'm
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: able to enjoy the ride. I'm guiding my parachute over.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Sometimes we go over to to a vacation spot over here,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: we float back over to it. But you know, I'm
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: still getting old. I'm still going down. But the descent,
• 6:49
  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 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
• 7:24
  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
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: when it's open. Open your mind to God and so
• 7:37
  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
• 7:46
  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
• 7:58
