  Daddy, I'm so excited, but I have one question. What's your question?
• 1:17
  I'm going to be a pastor or a minister.

  Good question. I don't know, but it is all in God's hands. Good morning.
• 1:24
  You're listening to Half-Face Lab again, and it starts right now.

  Hello, everyone, and welcome to the day after Memorial Day, Monday off that we had. It's a Tuesday.
• 1:36
  It's May 27th, and yeah, the weekend is over. This is crunch time.
• 1:42
  For some of you, it's pool time. For some of us here in the Northeast,
• 1:46
  it's like we're taking some steps back. Just heard on the radio coming in this
• 1:50
  morning that May should stand for is maybe it's going to rain.
• 1:55
  Maybe it'll rain. I don't know. It's crazy. We hope that each and every one
• 1:59
  of you had a blessed day with your families.
• 2:01
  We hope that if you had an opportunity to honor and to thank a veteran that you did that as well.
• 2:08
  You know, Have Faith Let It Begin is now closing in on the countdown to our
• 2:12
  eighth season. I cannot believe I'm saying that.
• 2:15
  Eighth season. And I remember, I remember saying, you know, we're going into
• 2:20
  our second season. I was like, oh my gosh.
• 2:22
  And then every other year after that, it's always an exciting one.
• 2:26
  But we're, you know, to get into eight season and over 2000 episodes,
• 2:28
  it's a really cool experience.
• 2:31
  So, you know, the question today is really simple.
• 2:34
  You know, what do you do after Memorial Day weekend? You know,
• 2:37
  do you start preparing for your vacation time?
• 2:40
  Do you start saying to yourself, okay, Memorial Day is over.
• 2:43
  You know, summertime is officially here, even though it doesn't really start till June 20th.
• 2:48
  What do you do now? What do you say to yourself? Do you say,
• 2:51
  okay, now we're getting into the phase of summertime.
• 2:54
  Let's get all the summer stuff out. Have you been planting with the Northeast?
• 2:59
  We just keep getting these 40 degree night weathers.
• 3:02
  We don't even know how to explain it, but we're doing it. And we're having a blast doing it.
• 3:06
  I am sitting in my vehicle right now getting ready for work And uh,
• 3:10
  the sun is shining and beaming Uh in my eye.
• 3:14
  Well, actually not even my eyes It's it's now to the point where it's from my
• 3:17
  nose down But if I took the sun guard off forget it would be blazing into my
• 3:22
  face and shining through So, you know yesterday on sunday was a great day.
• 3:27
  We had a service at my church We did God is always with you.
• 3:31
  And thank you so much for everybody that came out. We had a great time.
• 3:35
  We hope that each and every one of you enjoyed it on TikTok Live,
• 3:38
  Facebook Live. It was a very, very successful broadcast.
• 3:42
  And we hope that you will continue to listen to us each and every weekday on
• 3:46
  our podcast and also on TikTok Live.
• 3:49
  Well, today's message is, you know,
• 3:53
  something that I've been thinking about for a little while and that
• 3:56
  is how often have you had people in your family that you haven't spoken to in
• 4:04
  a while that maybe you just don't mesh well together how often have you felt
• 4:09
  that certain people in your family you just can't get along with.
• 4:15
  It's a very difficult topic because
• 4:16
  one of us is always stubborn than the other, right? If not both of us.
• 4:21
  And I think that for all of us, we need to learn how to forgive.
• 4:24
  We need to reach out to that loved one.
• 4:27
  Let them know you care. Let them know you're thinking about them and let them
• 4:30
  know that it's time to put things aside and to move forward.
• 4:35
  That is one of the biggest challenges that I think we will always have is being stubborn.
• 4:39
  And I mean that across the board and trying our very best to forgive.
• 4:45
  It is not an easy word. Believe me, forgiveness is not an easy word.
• 4:49
  But when we do it and we do it because we know we have to do it,
• 4:54
  not because we are told to do it, but if we do it because we know it's time
• 4:59
  to forgive and you have forgiven yourself and you've forgiven others,
• 5:03
  it makes the world a better place.
• 5:05
  So my challenge for you this morning is for you to reach out to a loved one,
• 5:10
  to let them know that you have thought about them, that you have forgiven them,
• 5:15
  And that you're asking them for forgiveness as well.
• 5:17
  And this way you can try to start something new, a different path,
• 5:20
  a different way of thinking and a different way of coming together.
• 5:24
  And that's all I've got for you today on our podcast. We're gonna stay live
• 5:28
  on TikTok and keep everybody informed as to all the celebrations that are coming up on June 18th.
• 5:34
  And we hope that each and every one of you will continue to inspire to be a
• 5:38
  better person each and every morning.
• 5:41
  And we will go back into the, we'll say we'll call back to the grind officially
• 5:45
  tomorrow as we kick back the week and enjoy the rest of our May that's left.
• 5:52
  I hope you enjoyed it. And for those of us on the podcast, we're going to be
• 5:56
  leaving. For those on TikTok, we're going to continue on. Thank you for listening.
• 6:00
  And never forget to have faith, let it begin.
