  Speaker 1: Here we are, guys, our last break of the day.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: It's been a good day. We've had fun today. Well
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: that's remark too. That's gonna be my clothes remark because
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: I want to share with people the difference between fun
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: and joy. Okay, because there is a difference. And I
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: had to learn this me too. So here we go.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: You know, as I was growing up, just like most
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: of us, we had a daily quest when we were young.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: As children, we only had one mission in life. After school.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: We wanted to go play on Saturdays and Sundays. I
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: want to go play. I could not wait to go outside.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: I wanted to go out in the snow. That I
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: wanted to play because it was fun. Now, what I
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: didn't know was there should be a cutoff point for
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: having fun in your life. But oh no, not me.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: I took it too far. I took fun to college.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Now I know everybody that went to college, whoa, we
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: had a blast. I had too much of a blast.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: And then after college kept on trying to have fun.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: There's a cutoff point to fun. And the thing I
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: learned about it was, see fun, you have to go
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: do something, or go somewhere or be around a certain people.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: In order to have it. To go have fun, you
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: have to manufacture it. You have to buy a ticket,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: you have to be at a certain place, you have
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: to drink a certain amount. You got to be around
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: the people that are smoking this. Now you can have
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: fun if you make it to this party right here,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: we gonna have so much fun. And you keep looking
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: for fun, but if you think about fun, man, it's
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: always manufactured. It's something you gotta be doing, seen doing.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: You gotta be somewhere or thought of somewhere. It's always
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: the case in having fun and fun is always short lived.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: You know. Fun never lasts a long time. You never
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: hear anybody say, well, I just had fun, fun, fun, fun,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: fun for fun don't last a long time. It's a
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: very fleeting thing. And I was teaching my sons about
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: fun one day because we were in Vegas and they
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: were going out and I told them, I said, be
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: careful out there, man, I'm going to the room. Dad,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: y'all come on, man, we're gonna have some fun. I said,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: listen to me. We've had a full night, went to
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: see the fight, everything was good, and now you're gonna
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: go out here, man, I'm gonna just tell you right now,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: it's dangerous out there. Be careful. Oh dad, we're gonna
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: have some fun. I've discovered something about fun. If you stay,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: if you keep having fun, there's a time limit to fun.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: If you stay at the club till it closed, it
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: ain't finna be fun no more. If you drinking and
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: you fell a buzz, but you keep on drinking, it
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: ain't fit to be fun no more. If you at
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: a sporting event and everybody going out the parking lot,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: but you y'all still try to have fun. State is
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: not finn to be fun no more? Because fun I
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: discovered I taught my children that night. Fun is an acronym.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: F you in is an acronym, and I taught it
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: to him. I said, son, if you keep having fun
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: too long, it's effed up now. That's what fun stands for.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Too much fun and it's effed up now. Boy. They laughed,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: They laughed. They went out that night in Vegas. The
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: next morning I saw them. They looked dishevel They're in
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: bad shape. Say what happened? Man, dad? We was at
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: the club. Man dude got shot and killed. Then the
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: police surround the building. We stayed in there man, we
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: ain't get home to five thirty. You know why, because
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: they was having fun and too much fun. It got
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: fed up. Now fu in, it's e ffed up now,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: and that's what fun is. They said, Dad, what about you?
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: I said, I like to have joy and said, what's
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: the difference between joy and fun? I said, joy is
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: a feeling that I have on the inside that resides
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: in me most of the time, and when I'm with myself,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: within myself or by myself. I found that I have
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: a residing peace in me that gives me a certain
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: joy that I enjoy being alone. I just enjoy just
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: being with my girl. That's joy to me. That I
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: can sit up and watch my grandchildren play. That I
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: can take my family on vacation and watch them enjoy theirself.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: That puts a joy in me. That joy that I have,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: it's not manufactured or superficial. The joy that I have,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: that residing peace is because I have a relationship with God.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: God has given me the peace that I have in
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: my life today. I wish I had discovered this years ago.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: I could have saved myself a world of trouble, but
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: I didn't because I was like a lot of people,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: I was pursuing fun, trying to have it as many
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: times as I could, going to have fun. If I
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: could have understood about this residing peace, that it's okay
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: to be with me, that I don't need a bunch
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: of outside stimulation to feel good anymore. That I can
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: sit back, close my eyes and be grateful and find joy.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: That I can sit up and just watch TV and
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: be in perfect peace and joy. That I can walk
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: around and ride my bike or walk down to the
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: river and just have joy. I could put my headsets
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: on and listen to some music and just have joy.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Joy to me, is better than having fun. That's the difference, though,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: between fun and joy. One is manufactured and one is
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: provided with an everlasting peace and relationship with God. If
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: I wish you, I look for some of that joy
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: you feel me. Those are my closing remarks today. I
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: hope you got something out of it. If not, don't
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: worry it. We'll be back tomorrow. God will it. Maybe
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: you'll like that one now, But in the meantime, y'all
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: see yourself a favor here. Talk to God. He loved
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: to hear from him.
