Hey ladies and gents, I just wanted to stop on real quick here before you hear the Memorial Day episode Which went a little lengthy and that's my apologies But some things need to be said about this holiday about its origin and about where we're going with it So, you know, just just a few things to talk about there was one there where I started mentioning something about cheating got caught off into Mine as I as y'all used to me normally doing I Didn't finish the thought so which is important and we always strive for better ladies and gentlemen We're not we're not on here doing this who's better than this is not this is about a different view This is not about if that different view is better than that That would be silly right that would be like the other side so there wouldn't be really that much different about it Here's the thing when it comes to cheating and far as ego is concerned you have to understand the nature of that which is attraction between humans You have to understand that which is the ball dropped in relationships and you have to understand the response that's going to happen now This is why I think this is why if you wanted to say it that way advocate for open marriage I hate using the terms that government politicians use to sway your vote so they can keep taking your hard-earned tax dollar But and again even using the word taxes again is them forcefully giving you money inside the system that they create so so again Certain words you got to be careful in what you use them because they create certain thoughts here from the way people have formulated To be right when it comes to infidelity Adultery going behind the back of the person I understand they want to use adultery and tell you that if you were in open marriage I was a case again adultery is where you are you are married sleeping with someone else who is married Okay, the idea behind that I know where folks go But I'm telling you the idea behind it is the secrecy the idea behind it is the lying the idea behind it is you just bulldozing Your way gonna do your own thing and you are on a team y'all That's where the danger is an adultery again These are things that you can look up online and look at the definition and the etymology of the word adultery It is dealing with that what you do in secret and again what you do in secret comes out in the open You've heard about people going over meeting somebody who they want to go and mess around with and then the other husband or wife comes home Someone dies right someone drives other person's house and shoots a bunch of news stories like this ladies and gentlemen This is this is what this is You want to avoid that now How do you avoid that number one you work on the problems inside your own relationship if they can be worked on? Gotta be clear. Yeah, we want all relationships to stay together a marriages and so on so forth That's not gonna be a case so again. I pose like with everything else.

What do you do for those folks? Huh do you damn them to hell or they live in the same because they get remarried again See I understand the Catholic Church holds on with certain things but ladies and gentlemen think there's something No, God is all about rebirth life is all about birth again death and then life right? We just say what it is now You want to stay inside you want to stay inside the relationship with the person you're with There's a talking about ego here You can't be so bold now and so out of balance that you can't understand guess what if you slip it in your relationship a Anybody come up in there and we're gonna use certain terminology slide right on in there, right? This is the game we didn't had rock artists talk about it hip-hop artists talk about it pop artists talk about it It is all because it's the reality y'all see again We like to differentiate and differ it's a lot of mental stuff going on in the mind that to be honest You don't even need the psychologist to tell you you need them then then from that standpoint The lead you on but again certain people who have to get to a place in their mind before they can admit something we understand That's a real thing.

Okay, but just to clarify that on ego. All right Again, don't think of yourself so high man or woman that another man or woman whether same or hetero couldn't get with your man Or woman, okay, that's that's that's not the game. That's not that there is no special one I know this is gonna come crashing down for folks again. You are on a planet with multiple outcomes Okay on a planet in in a universe of multiple universes See again when they start doing that multiverse thing.

That's not like a joke y'all. That's that's a real thing I know we've been taught to discredit a lot. See that's either the scornful you but however This is still the real regardless right? You know I was talking to my wife a couple days ago And then we go let y'all go because this is not this is not long.

This is just a little pre-end To this episode the idea of where we're at in our relationship and all the events that occur to get us to where we're at right? Multiply that across all the relationships everywhere There's different outcomes y'all could have gotten to the same place where you're at right now Could have got their peaceful they could have got their finally for those who are violent and peaceful vice versa, right? There's multiple outcomes we get to pick and choose ladies and gentlemen. That's the beauty of that thing man Thank God for that y'all y'all get to pick and choose and when we talk about relationships same as Memorial Day We get to pick and choose how we want this thing to go So again shout out one time Memorial Day the May the month of May I should say And all that is with us shout out to our military.

Thank y'all for defending this country for defending us I would ask the Charles Stan and solidarity as far as getting the things right in this nation because again They used the military so horribly Man, all you got to do is watch that movie Rambo man go back in time to talk about remembrance go back in time And you will see how horrible the military has been used. This is this is real right? Experimenting on all types of stuff. So this is just the real okay And further the quicker I should say we accept it the further we will go in life then we have seen thus far so that's what I got for y'all Thank you very much, and we will talk to you soon Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, ladies and gentlemen what's going on?

What's going on y'all right right we made it to Memorial Day weekend Memorial Day weekend ladies and gentlemen, I hope y'all are having a good weekend, you know, I really do I hope y'all are off from work off from the plantation. Let's get real with it. Okay We have established certain things here ladies and gentlemen So as we go along today there will be a topic that comes up that is not good for the babies at that time If you do have your kids listening, I am going to I do see some of the age demographic that the podcast is reaching to now That the word of truth I should say is reaching to people now again I understand I've ruffled some feathers with folks on all sides of the aisle as they say but this is Again since we're not doing something on on Memorial Day, we just want to let y'all rock. I'm not Memorial Day election day We just want to let y'all rock with it So as a result we're going to use certain terms here leading up to to keep you in remembrance of that's what he's words We can get into today Because it's Memorial Day ladies sit chipping for me It's memory time man, you know Partisan we are bipartisan on this podcast We are non-denominational on this podcast, right?

Right? So you get it. You've got it. You've got it.

You've got to come away from certain things So we just gonna let you know what it is some of y'all might have figured that out by now, but Let me just type this in real quick and then we will get into the meat of today's message Today's conversation because again a link a lot of people today have forgotten how to converse with each other that'll help you with arguments conflicts agreements of course Right how we talk to each other we missing it ladies and gentlemen, you got to just be able to speak Yeah, you know talking about bringing things to memory here. We'll just we'll just don't talk about the memory this morning Or I should say afternoon. Excuse me depending on where you are if you listen to this on the west coast It's still morning Man, why'll hell time operates right? We all live in on the same land mass with different time zones.

I digress Things in a little we don't do this kind of live in and live in color today This is not I got some those but everything everything right now is gonna be played off the cuff. This is this is real. You know we we got we got A whole lot going on right now whether you're talking about again and we it's funny right we was in the 90s saying this 2000s saying this Here we are today Still saying still saying the same stuff man like it is It is rough For those who are not and who are Christian we're going to bring up a verse today You know, you know me and your boy. You know me.

Hey boy kj. We got We like to pack that in it's gonna be kind of a combination right even though today is Saturday we're gonna combine Saturday and Sunday because your boys taking time for rest won't be doing anything tomorrow again We believe on that kind of thing here ladies and gentlemen you have to have time to rest You have to have time to come away again like you all heard me in the earlier episodes talk about there are times you have to Unpleak see again. We combine too much. There are times you got to unplug that phone Shut up that computer and there are times you got to come away Just you and your maker out in nature you and your maker and your family, right?

You you'll make it yourself Hmm. You got to have some time man You got to make the time this world is geared from greed and know the way it's saying at this point They don't want to give you the time but you got to find ways of making that time y'all Y'all got to find ways i'm gonna read certain verses that will actually be right down the uh, i'm a baseball fan, right? Right now i got a cap on i keep a lot of these i told i was talking about that before i got a cap on It reminds me of the Negro leaks ladies and gentlemen Because at the end of the day we're talking about the ability to grasp knowledge to grasp wealth at its fingertips And where we yet have where we yet have stopped getting getting this stop running on the hamster wheel Hop on it hop off it for a second and understand that in us It's very culture not just the so-called black ones This is in us To make life anew to make life different to provide profit to people in doing so It's one of the thing i just need to bring up here real quick uh Way oh boy. Oh boy.

So The history of memorial day even going from there one bring down some some definitions and things now, you know It's all school stuff here to we too on a different view, right? Memorial day originally known as decoration day interesting interesting interesting very interesting About decoration day guys this deals with the dead y'all Hmm Interesting that they bring up librarian here, but I digress decoration days This is going to be just now again I want to bring something to light because i'm done on people using something telling you that it's not true to get you off the path So many of the things that we do now again everything here is referenced I keep saying that because I want to take away from y'all the defense in the mind that tells you what is false Again, many people are on this on this giving Caesar part by voting for someone and this is not about voter suppression Nothing this is talking about look at the folks they're giving you to think on y'all See again, this is the time where we're supposed to remember but do you have anything in your memory you remember Do you have anything that you can recall upon into what you're remembering today ladies and gentlemen? How powerful man see we live in that di d realm see mental health right may we got a couple more days left man May mental health month because again people won't focus on it after may is gone right This time of year Well, you can think on not just your dead and this is not please lower the defenses and let the light shine in a little bit Okay, this is hard for us all to accept but something we must accept This this day is not just for your grandfather who may pass in a war and again another part of these things within may is military appreciation month, right? You need defense ladies and gentlemen.

So Again, I told you with bipartisan here shout out to the military Shout out to the police and shout out to our first responders who are here keeping us safe ladies and gentlemen make no mistake though The checks and balances need better checking and balance ladies and gentlemen that that that does not see the two don't the one doesn't excuse the other They both coincide We'll see anything Earlier just skimming through skimming through my social media stuff because we're everywhere right It's like your creators everywhere. So we need to practice to be in everywhere ladies and gentlemen, but I digress At the end of the day, right? There was a subject on the top there was a topic on the subject I should say of anger that came up and how careful we have to be in in dealing in anger ladies Don't I want to tell you something very clearly when they talk about suppression like voter suppression making you feel bad for who you want to vote for right? It's the same thing say gaslighting these different things talking also about mental health money.

We still have mental health, right? They got to make you feel bad about things that if you stepping out on the water doing something for yourself Be on guard against that. So we have family talking today ladies and gentlemen. This is this is they're nothing but love for y'all Nobody puts them again.

No greater love see and people are willing to put themselves on the line This is about love y'all this ain't about what other people been doing and degradation deprivation throwing away resources to one group of people and not letting another group have so I'm not really throwing away but More or less like softball where you toss enough soft pitch, you know, especially for my church folks who love you in the softball thing because we just didn't make the baseball team Right, so we have these things where you see people's ego run wild matter Fact let me let me stop real quick and tell y'all the definition of the word ego here put certain things to bed Because guys gals we really got to get a certain thing together and understand that it's gone too far I don't know how else I can express that to y'all Gone too far a person's sense of self-esteem or importance that is ego right there back Don't don't even they got another one to psycho analysis the part of the mind that that mediates between the conscious and unconscious and is responsible for Reality testing and a sense of personal identity. I like that one a little bit as far as the philosophy goes as far as metaphysics people Really paying attention. This is all coming from Oxford dictionary dictionary again another thing that you're gonna write up online Just type in ego definition right a conscious thinking Subject You actively what you're thinking on building what is your self-esteem or importance? I told y'all in the mind a lot of this mess is happening in the mind when they say the phrase battlefield of the mind That is a very real thing now I don't mean you got to be worried in your mind all the time man.

That ain't there's times arrest see this is what I'm talking about You got to relax me That goes for us all okay So when y'all hear that word ego realize you just talk when when a person's ego is hurt when your self-esteem and your self-importance is hurt So normally on the male thing this is just dropping something else about relationships somebody cheats on you and normally this is what man I'm not saying this doesn't happen with women Lord how people just the teeter tighter in the mind Just can't like the other person's just right off the that member bat. So you can't talk about memory right member back in the day Got to see so they still got see so I'm here now But they don't really pull them up because they don't want your kids active they want to run it around and wall They don't run it running around out in nature, but I digress So but see you can hold your government accountable in these town hall meetings and stuff and tell them hey get our parks together But I digress So so you've got all this they got they taking your money and some sit here on this for a minute They're taking your money and spending it all over the place All of your tax dollars and you guys are talking about memory now and you guys forgot what they're doing with your tax dollars You're working for and what your response is some January 6 trash that ain't doing it y'all No, don't play in the day hand make them do to work for you that you voted for them for see and when they ain't doing that Work for you vote them out. That's how this works We ain't got to assas today We're gonna do the stuff that your open enemy is doing do the stuff that is the opposite of what they're doing And when I say enemy again, we wrestle not against flesh and blood right? You got to understand you're dealing with things in the mind Anyway, let's get into let's finish up here on Memorial Day, and then we will continue on so something about decoration It's a tradition again remembering those who have passed on They've got let's see the term ancestor veneration again venerating of the dead I know by the time we get to church folks the dead gets real spooky, but again You're surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses ladies and gentlemen, right?

Right my Christian brothers and sisters ain't that what the Bible tell you? Where do you think all of your mamas and daddies and grandparents and uncles and stuff is going if they accepted Christ or didn't? Huh where they at in the Bible telling you of the difference between the two one on the other side and one on the other One's telling the other don't come here and the other one saying you know welcome in You know the bosom Abraham's bosom and all that right again I know y'all like to do this sectional thing with the Bible because that's the way that the church is it's section off the Baptist and the Southern Baptist and the Presbyterian and Epistopalian See this is another thing that I keep seeing lately that's always been there But now it's just again coming back to my memory, right? Sit in there doing this Liturgical so you got to get down to the nitty gritty of the thing.

What do you believe ladies and gentlemen? This was the question we posed you in the Halloween episode. They didn't go anywhere What do you believe? So you won't split up that which is the holy doctrine that comes from God alone See our response and what comes from the words of God two different things Sometimes our response matches and sometimes it don't and it's up to us to continue playing the match game till it matches, right?

So we got this we got a Epistopalian you break down all the words because it all come back to how you express the thing of what you believe Shout of the glass ceiling ladies and gentlemen, huh? Anyway Infinoration of the dead There is something to be said about those as a celebration and as worship to the good God above for when we are born And that which we do when they pass y'all see you make fun of folks in New Orleans My dear brothers and sisters when we see anyone somebody pass you can't dance, right? We can't play music for can't be no celebration when they're born It's got to be it's almost as if we have more of a party when they're born and when they died This is why in black panther to man. That was the cause of celebration Never mind folks ain't got it yet, but again when they get it you even get it So now when do y'all think the original date of Memorial Day was when do you think I know how it's I know how it's?

Publicize when was when was the original and again? This is one of those things that people like to debate when do you when do you think it was supposed to like to hold on to the truth of the thing? So they forgot now they'll tell you this is us us personnel Okay, again, we just read decoration day happens across the world because it happens like in places like La Veria Let's see some pre-Christian influences from the British Isles of course Africa They got southern Appalachia here Appalachia is the geographic region in the southern and central sections of the Appalachian Mountains up in New York PA, right continuing on through the Blue Ridge Mountains smoky Great Mountains into Georgia shout out to Georgia, right Alabama, Mississippi Mississippi saying in your best southern tone ladies and gentlemen see see again Well, we forget is where people at because we became to Merck You live on the North American continent you were invited over here by the government of those who took over lands and said come on down Why they held back other people bring it back to your memory ladies and gentlemen, you know, why why should we do that? See this is the question it keeps being asked Well, why should we keep talking about this cage?

Because we have still not yet done right by people Let me let me let me let me let me And this is a challenge to us all see because At the end of the day that which comes to seek seek kill steal and destroy Anyway, you got to be careful comes in many forms man And everybody's talking about this than the other doctrine of devils and they they get again to get very spooky with it But again in the mind in that battlefield those are the things that you got to pay attention to what's on your mind Man, this is why you are told to consistently think on that which is good. Yeah, yeah, we got we got a split again We got a split into two different verses. So let's Let's do this things This is what I do ladies and gentlemen like every day every day every day What should your mind be flooded with flooded? So there's another thing the first I was reading from about how Jesus Came down in the form of man Philippians chapter two.

I was remiss on that. I was just reading the verses in Philippians Do I should have said that's my apologies y'all in the King James version for leaping on again back in the Philippi man What do we just was that for oh boy? Oh boy? Oh boy?

Be careful for nothing this is this will help this will help with they call worry warts old school old school word for folks It's worry too much and one of this is for you overthinkers to by the way That's helps you give you balance. So you should always be thinking on something But don't think on things more than you ought to right? See again, if you don't think of yourself more highly than you should again keep in your ego and check then that would also be things like Where you get your food from there's a person about that? What you get your money from now again?

You should always be thinking about how to make money but not to the point where you give yourself also So ladies don't mess too much. See be careful for nothing, but in everything by prayer supplication I'm not gonna get into the word supplication. Yeah, we're on time schedule folks. We're on time schedule We all got partying to design and go too hard here, but we could go further in everything by prayer and supplication Let's just say it this way requests requests.

We'll just we'll just do it that way for the day I know so my Christian brother system will lose it. That's all right with Thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God So this is an inbound division y'all. I know you get some some get upset where I talk like that This is this is a value notification would be doing division too long. See that's that's the problem Let your requests be made known into God and the peace of God So the peace of God comes by you being you enter into that kind of security and wholeness when you stop worrying That's the first place so you give it you got to separate you see what I'm saying So you got a separate from worrying in order to do that.

So again, that a cool name atada? You know again an African proverb and thought I know because Christians when y'all went over there you started saying everything they was doing was pegging you should have looked a little closer Anyway, God got the rocks crying out, but I guess the people would never mind never mind Just look different than you do in your church of England, right? Because all this is the carbon copy that mess over me Guys and gals, you know, we can go hard with this But all of this is a copy of what's over in England colors are very similar stuff is just it you got it you got questions No, no, that's a little different. Okay, the piece of God would pass us all understanding So keep your heart it will keep your heart that shall keep your heart in mind through cries finally See here's some of the things think on stuff is true.

Oh, you get around people ain't always lying man Keep stay waiting folks things that are honest people ain't honest. They telling you they being dishonestly honest Let me say it that way. Mm-hmm. Cuz that's what it is.

What's what things adjust Lord? We can go into that word just for a minute people ain't people ain't dealing in justice no more Feeling it justice no more whatsoever things appear of course, especially when you start talking about sex This is normally when people go with sex There's other things you can have purity in by the way But since you go to sex again start doing some study on sex and come on back and tell me whether what is pure or not Or whether it's just something you don't like doing because that's that's where we have that's where we're at We're telling people what is wrong when you just don't like doing it and I can say certain things So matter of fact, well stop here for a minute because one of these things see what people like to do and this is this is that part in the Game Lady and you want your kids to not be listening right now This is this this is that part right? This is that part? Come on back here and like I don't know 2025 24th minute come back at like 25 Well a lot of people are doing and they lives right now ladies and gentlemen is what you call mental masturbation I heard that from dr.

Claude Anderson shot out of the dr. Claude Anderson by the way See again You don't have you don't have people who are willing to put themselves on the line They're okay doing the thing for their own benefit when you give of yourself it puts you on the line And that is what that is loving its highest y'all Again self pleasure. We all understand what masturbation is when I go in there this idea in your mind though and same thing when you Pleasure given from something not the real thing, but Temporary pleasure given from something that's what people doing in they mind man Just just getting them by it to the next bar in the next bar in the net, but it's not lasting And I know something many y'all probably having a good chuckle right now But that's what a lot of people doing a lot of mental masturbation And we all doing on different degrees so that again, we ain't we ain't doing a judging thing We ain't doing that deck this you know cast system stacking deck we ain't we know that's where people have messed up man It's this and again the seat at the tables for everybody different places and that table big enough that you have to freak So they own this side and the prunes I don't call improves but those who are non-free so to say that way the non-free so we're here And you can have the believers over here and the non-believers over here the table is wide ladies and gentlemen and it is one MC of this party That tells you you in or you out that ain't for everybody the table start fighting and kicking people out and killing people Though in the dinner knife at somebody's eyeball trying to stab somebody to hang with the fork ladies and gentlemen We got to stop doing that we look crazy at the table right now Would you want a bunch of people that are doing what you acting like no you wouldn't another side question talking about how people By into this imbalanced nationalism so What happened old Amsterdam y'all? Hmm especially they talk about that old world new world.

Do you all even know what the old world look like? Talk about recalling things your memory and remembrance do you I know I don't Maybe we ought to be finding out because this new one here looking a little funky New Amsterdam since I'm from New York shout out to my New York folks one time New Amsterdam was wrong to old one so you know the natives already had cults of coal civilizations Cultivations again a culture a set garden. That's what that where it's coming from They already had their own thing down here People already living in and doing and trading and commerce and everything and you didn't recognize what happened in that over Ladies and gentlemen when you start realizing what this thing is built upon it's gonna change the way you think on something Because it's hard to live life with that knowledge like that You're just going around whistling Dixie to brought to borrow phrase It is it's okay. We just tap dance and on the body is to be never mind never mind people don't think that way man Again, the idea is a real thing you let it go You let it go with your mind because it's a little too hard to deal with You'll say things like people just keep groaning in moaning will say it that way, you know You just pick yourself up by your bootstrap meanwhile you got a system set for the people who even put the pick themselves up by the bootstraps ain't You couldn't even give yourself a wedgie and pick yourself up Things that are lovely man people can't even think on things that are lovely lovely lovely that's too feminine Most men couldn't think on us lovely man plus plus you key in the fact that ain't cool today drain them Well, you got a constant be busy you sitting around you wait you stealing time stealing time they steal your time every day from your family But no you stealing age I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I won't do it. No They got y'all like slaves that's all right cuz you don't think you are doing the land of the free at home of the Braves That's the really way they should be saying it whatever things are a good report can anybody tell the truth on somebody today It's even though I'm out of my Christian brothers This is who read these church fathers so much man Can y'all talk about the dissent and the end and all of the stuff the reason that the church fathers had to say something because the church was so Backward back Christian people who believed in Christ was so backward back then you needed people to stand up to say something If there be any virtue and if there be any praise Can you truly congratulate somebody with nothing in return? You know how many times I got to sit down what a sick nasty gross Thick milkshake just to say it that way of life.

Well, you got to see people help people act like they really helping people This happens everywhere in your families and you know you lying to yourself. You'd say it's not true Nothing on things that are true man What in the world are we doing y'all you can't help somebody without getting the good old attaboy pat on the back Then they flipped that mess like the workers aren't supposed to get that right like a family members aren't supposed to get that Oh, they just attention seekers. No use supposed to be given them. They damn well do that's the problem greedy Broken ego people.

Hmm. You gotta be careful that info around you y'all All right, so y'all already are back Let's get into word memory and remember and then we're gonna go on about our day and memorial as well So the word memory is a noun Meaning the faculty by which the mind stores and remembers information Something remembered from the past a recollection Some of the synonyms or similar words reminder reminiscence Reminders real, you know because most people will remember like the song from usher you remind me right? I was just listening to that in the car Yeah, I got my R&B on you know another thing ladies and gentlemen I know and it's the what we bring up music here since you know Christians got a issue again Well, the songs got to have Jesus five times in it in order for it to be anything that you can play I think that's a little bit out of box. I think maybe see your hip-hop artist like the truth and lacret I Want to say with the one one six click if I'm not mistaken This is southern Christian hip-hop group had a couple of different hip-hop artists in there I think they need to talk some things about what's going on with racism in the church I think I think maybe we need to maybe we need to talk about the real See cuz just like hip-hop that they call worldly hip-hop that doesn't really talk about the real anymore We just we missing it here.

Okay, we can't keep talking about Molly and having sex with women in corners of room somewhere And vice versa see again on the female side men have been to repressive own women with sex So I can understand how the women come out matter fact It's come out into clothes in the 50s men were too repressive with sex with swimsuits And we've seen these videos everywhere right used to do a study on you see it, right? Okay, you want to tell me that a person can go too far at any subject of course they can but there is still a real thing there Which is the repression of why they needed to come away? That's where we're at y'all. So that's memory.

That's memory, right? But you got to put something in your mind to be able to you got to put something there The shows people are either one dodging what's in them what's in that memory or they're trying real hard not to remember Right since the word memory deals with the faculty by which the mind stores and now we said when we see words We're placing with the definition of the word you see and it makes more sense So and remembers information. So what is remember? Have in or be able to bring to one's mind and awareness People want to wear certain things y'all we could go into the word aware, but we'll do that later on Of someone something someone or something that has seen known or experienced in the past That's why I don't cut out your don't cut out your your elders right your parents your grandparents listen even if you can't stand them use Them for information listen what I'm saying now See again We don't understand how to deal in the different stages of life There is one where you and your parents are close and there's a certain way you deal there There is another one for when you're all addicted and how you deal there?

There's one where it's somewhere in the middle and how you deal there guys and gals we got to get this down pat This is this is life. This is life This is why for people who talk to me about abstinence and none of this and none of that none of that and then what do you do for People who are not doing the thing did God make this thing sold so boxed in that there is no plan for y'all We're not thinking through stuff because again We have not put ourselves in remembrance of the one that has made this thing man We talking about trees that not only the air that gives off the leaves Helping the ozone layer than the ozone layer affecting something else and something else affecting something else and so on and so forth Y'all same thing with the rain rain it really coming from the sky per se while it does come from the sky go Oh my god On me you're talking about moisture evaporating from the earth Going up into the sky and then falling back down the earth, right? I hope y'all remembered that from school. So I'm gonna talk about education how much that is y'all do not understand how horrible racism's affected everything This is very real Used to emphasize the importance of what is asserted I really don't want to get into the word of certa right now Trying to keep it memorial something that keeps remembrance alive something that keeps The ability because it says or be able so the ability to bring to one's mind and awareness of that's what a memorial is for Keeping the remembrance of something alive, which is where you see monuments and so speeches There are memorials ladies and gentlemen to the dead to which I'm letting you know now when you talk on Memorial Day When you're talking about remembering the dead ladies and gentlemen, it's not just the soldiers from 1776 on Just doing murica type stuff.

There is a little war there in the middle a kind of big war I was dealing with the survival of humanity on these lands because we can't get together and share Memorial Day origin deals with the events happening before after the Civil War the Union and the South Men and women dying so something you can look up online. I'm not we're not we're not making up nothing here Dying to protect people who are misused and abused by the government Same US government today. Let's not do the let's not do the dance Same government today that is okay using you up until you are dried out and tripled like an old sponge That's been used to wash dishes too long and then you throw it out And it started off with one group of people but it is expanded to everybody matter of fact at that time where slavery was running wild The reason you had those wars Was because Europeans I know y'all switched over magically and calling yourselves Americans, but again Europeans he put yourself in remembrance You were immigrants at one point and now are the descendants of it's okay ladies and gentlemen see see see We are this is the real y'all dealing in this pseudo fantasy realm. It won't work We got to recognize we got to put ourselves in remembrance of and then recognize and then start making repair What we've done to us all So yeah, I got my R&B music on man We know what it's like as party in the hood man on these kind of days We celebrate and freedom on a whole other level man and June is coming Right and this is not a disparage my Jewish brothers and sisters because this is right about the time when people do specific speech the generalization Comes in because you've been taught to do that It's either it's either discredit or it's making ambiguous and generalizes what folks do This is what you do again You even realize the trick bag in your mind from master.

That's what they want you to do today Can keep taking from you do the OJ said it best man smiling your face, but all the time you want to take your place That's what a backstabber is. That's what you've gotten this world man. That's what you got in this world This is memory ladies and gentlemen. This is remembers people have not put themselves in remembrance of a thing Do this for as much as you do this will end on this verse here since we've kept y'all here Thank you all for walking the road with me a little bit over in first Corinthians the Corinthians corn The word of truth comes to whether you're a major city in Rome Whether you're some backwood little town somewhere in the middle of rural America on the plains of the continent North America All the way down to the most southern tip of South America the most far reaching is West Point of Africa the highest mountain in Asia The lowest valley no matter where you go on East Australia the Philippines the Caribbean it does not matter where man The word of truth comes to us all This is first Corinthians chapter 11 verse 18 we're gonna start there Yeah, yeah, we're gonna start there because again I'm speaking to the truth of the thing see God's not the only one who can speak to the boy people can too We're made in the likeness of our truth so Again, this ability shows up in those who believe in Hinduistic things Buddhist Buddhist things Confucius Islamic it doesn't matter seek it doesn't a piece it doesn't matter is in you see like even if you don't believe in God There's certain gifts you were given me.

Hey, it's like going to the store, right? And you like I'm really not down with Walmart and when you leave they still gave you like 10 gifts anyway You've got man. That's what you've got anyway anyway I digress First of all when you come together in church since everybody keeps talking about forsaken not the assembly of the brother What you do what you get there? This is why I can't deal with certain things man because because again the pool the pool we swim in any right man I understand much respect to my Indian brothers and sisters when I say Indian and talking about the people from India not the word that You're abused to describe everybody that's a different thing Much respect about Indian brothers and sisters and again the religious importance there is in bathing in the Ganges River We understand see I'm not gonna be one of those that this regard something however not for me Okay, but again, what do you do when we come together y'all?

So first of all first of all first of all When you come together in church I hear that there be divisions among you southern Baptist and Baptist church of God and church of God in Christ Missionary church and apostolic church Hey, let's get a little further of his capellian And Protestant church Reformationist and Catholic church. I hear there be divisions among you and I partly believe it. Oh, I believe it Oh come together man for there must also for there must be also for there also must be that's another again English languages flips around things Man there must also be heresies among you. We're not going into the word heresy right now Again, we we on time we got we got barbecues and stuff to do y'all that we can come back to that later that They which are approved may be made manifest among you again We just can keep it rolling when you come together therefore into one place This is not to eat the Lord's Supper.

So one of these mistruths don't partake of the communion It's got a different belief on the thing. That's fine. Okay, but we're doing something to bring about the balance of something See just like people gonna celebrate Memorial Day just thinking it's this whole thing again That's all well and good. We talked about this last year with July 4th That's all well and good.

I want to pop off the fireworks and whoop and a lot of that is cool actually But understand the gravity of what you're doing and the origin in which it came bring that back to your remembrance and think on those things So that it's in your remembrance at the time when they take the information away from you I know nobody thought Adolf Hitler was gonna start burning books during the Holocaust But guess what that man did he authorized the folks start burning books and information That's not the first time that happened back in 1940 whatever right? anyway Anyway For in eating every verse 21 for in eating everyone take it before his own supper and one is hungry and another is drunken What don't you have houses to eat and drink in or do you despise the church of God and shame them that have not What am I gonna say to you God praise you in this nope? For I received the Lord that which I'm telling you that the same night Jesus was betrayed took bread What practice can you do when somebody turns they back on you? What do you do?

Anyway, when he had given thanks he broke it and said take this eat this again I know when the king of the verse is not saying that way, but this is what it's telling him This is my body which is broken for you do this this do do this in Remembrance of me ladies and gentlemen as you do what you do this weekend if you do this to the least of these you do it Also, you do it to God as with the verse tells you start giving remember what the pain people going through in this life Remember the harm that which you will be voting for November 4 to cause people in this life The bombings of towns the removal of peoples built up towns and cities on these lands The removal of peoples language Even down to cutting native kids's hair Experimenting on children to find out what the national or not national what the recommended daily value of vitamins is to You all know that was a thing that they experimented on native children Whether by starving them and not starving and so on and so forth So that you could know today what vitamin you're supposed to take for you Was that how we're supposed to be doing a thing when we're studying science as I had it supposed to go? But I guess what if you never study about that you couldn't bring that back to your memory now could you? It actually broke my heart when I found out about it the stuff you do today ladies German You eat that burger you eat that chicken you had in ribs You got to potato salad that macaroni salad and however y'all make it because each culture make it different, right? Don't forget what we come from don't forget what we come from because if you forget where we come from you'll have no idea What are you going to and we go in somewhere?
