• 0:10
  Speaker 2: only Steve Harvey got.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: A radio show. Man o, man o man. I thank
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: God for it.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: I thank God for all He's done for me, for
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: all the little things that I oftentimes failed to thank
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: him for that I take for granted for you know,
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: I was. I was talking the other day to a
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: buddy of mine. We had gotten to this conversation about
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: God and and and in the conversation we had narrowed
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: it down and we were talking about changing the way
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: we are as people. You know that everybody has to change.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: You know, nothing stays the same. Everybody changes, and a
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: lot of these changes can be for the good, and
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: a lot of them are just They just come with time,
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: you know. Sometimes it's aging that changes us. But no
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: matter how old you get, you still have the ability
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: to improve as a person. You may not have the
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: foot speed you used to have. You may not be
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: as agile as you used to be. Your energy level
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: may not be what it used to be. Your desire
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: to do some of the things that you used to
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: do may be gone.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: The thing that.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Doesn't have to change and will not change is you
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: you have the ability to continue to grow as a
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: person even when far the time and nature has taken
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: its course. We were talking about everybody can change and
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: everybody has the right to reinvent themselves as they get older,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: and I equated it to jumping out of an airplane.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: You know, there are some people man who get to
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: a certain point in their life and they and they
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: jump from the airplane. Is now almost a stunt of
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: some kind. It's almost like they lifed and got out
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: of control. You ever seen somebody jump out an airplane
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: and the parachute don't open, and they life start and
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: it seems like they start spinning and tumbling and they
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: can't get it together. And I've seen some mid air
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: rescues before. But then there are times when you know
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: when it hasn't worked. You know, you jump out that
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: airplane and at first it's fun. I've never Scott dived before,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: but I would imagine when you first jump out of
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: an airplane that they people describe it as a sense
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: of being free, and it's exhilarating when you first jump
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: out the plane.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: But if you pull that cord.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: And nothing happens, it never happened to me, But I
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: can only imagine the panic that's got to set in
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: because no matter how fun it was a moment ago,
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: the flying over to one another, the holding hands in
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: the air, the breeze, the descent, the feeling of all
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: of a sudden, if you reach for that cord and
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: it's not there, you're suddenly spinning out of control. And
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: that's what happens in a lot of people's lives. When
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: you first start your life, you jump out the plane,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: you free you young, you ain't got nothing.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: To worry about it.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: But then you get to a certain point in your
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: life when you go, okay, I'm gonna pull the cord now.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: And pulling the cord is an important thing, because here's
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: the analogy my friend gave me. He said, man, use
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: your mind like a parachute. It works better when it's open. Well,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: see what happens with a lot of people is they
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: in life, they jump out the plane and they having
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: this free fall, and it's fun for now. But they
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: get to a certain point in their life where they
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: got themself in a situation, or they've had a little
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: bit too much fun, a little bit too long, or
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: you know, they wasn't open to nothing, and they just
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: did what they wanted to do, or they started getting
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: involved with drugs or drinking or started running with the
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: wrong people.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: See you jump out the plane.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: At first you're free falling this fun but then after
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: a minute, man, something happens and they realize whoa and
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: they reach for the cord, and the chord don't work.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Well.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Now you're in the panic stricken situation. And my suggesting
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: that what I've learned from the analogy that my friends
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: shared with me is that we all the sooner we
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: can open our mind to God, the sooner we could
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: develop that relationship with him. It's like pulling the chord
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: and opening a parachute. If you open up your mind
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: to God, God is like a parachute.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: You know. God can slow your descent.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: God can turn this out of control freefall into a
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: nice ride for you. See that's what happened to me.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: I was spinning out of control. I had gotten myself
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: into a point. Man, Why I wasn't doing real good? Oh,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: y'all would look at me and think, man, Stevie, Man,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Now I wasn't doing real good. I had spun out
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: of control. I was in a free fall, and I
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: reached for the chord, but I was so far away
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: the chord didn't open.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Then I went to him and I pulled the chord.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: When I went to God, I pulled the cord and open,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: and he slowed my descent.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: And this is what I just believe. I don't believe.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Now that I age as fast as I was aging,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: because I got that parachute open. Now, you know, I
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: take better care of myself, eating, I work out more.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Now you know I'm not out of control. I have
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: a direction.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Now that win.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Then got up under that parachute a little bit, you know,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: and now I'm going You know, I'm still getting older,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: you know so, but the descent is so slow. Now
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: I'm able to enjoy the ride. I'm guiding my parachute over.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Sometimes we go over to to a vacation spot over here,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: we float back over to it. But you know, I'm
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: still getting old. I'm still going down. But the descent,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: because I've opened my mind to God, the parachute has
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: slowed my descent. And now I'm rocking back and forth.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: But I ain't spending out control no more. You know,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: I'm able to enjoy the view. Now you know, when
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: you jump out that plane and you pull that cord
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: and it don't work, you ain't looking at the view
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: no more. You're thinking of only one thing. How can
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: I slow this down? Well, now I'm able to enjoy
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: the view. I'm able to see all the beautiful things
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: on the horizon that God has for me. I'm able
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: to see all the beautiful things around me that He's
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: provided for me over these years because I've slowed my descent.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: I use my mind like a parachute. It works better
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: when it's open. Open your mind to God and so
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: you can see the view, so you can slow the descent,
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: so you can stop the out of control free fall
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: that you've been on, that you can get your life
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: together and see everything out on the horizon that God
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: has for you. You know, it turned out to be
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: a very true statement. Your mind, if you use it
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: like a parachute, it works better when it's open, y'all.
