TOUGHEST PLAYERS ON THE FIELD.

LIFETIME.
ER

THAN WE HAVE EVER BEEN.
.
ER SECRETS TO A SUCCESSFUL
MARRIAGE.
WE CAN GET THROUGH THIS
TODAY ON THE 700 CLUB.
WELCOME, FOLKS, TO THIS
EDITION OF THE 700 CLUB, IT IS
A WEEKEND OF PLAYOFF ACTION,
WILD CARD GAMES IN THE NFL AND
ALSO WE HAVE THE WRAP-UP OF THE
BOWL GAME AND IS ONE MORE
COMING AND THEN IT'S OVER.
ER
I'M IN MOURNING.
OH, SOMEBODY LOST, IT WAS
COLD.
DON'T RUB IT IN LIKE THAT,
THAT'S UNKIND OF YOU.
I WAS SAYING, IT'S A SCRAP
PI WONDERFUL GROUP OF PLAYERS.
AND THEY GAVE THEM A RUN FOR
THEIR MONEY.
WHO EVER HEARD OF THEM
PLAYING IN THAT WEATHER IN YOUR
SHIRT SLEEVES.
ER
SEVERAL OF THEM.
AND YOU HIT THE FROZEN
GROUND.
YOU CAN'T FEEL IT BY THEN.
THEY MADE IT OUT AND THE
49ERS PREVAILED.
THE COACH IS A CHRISTIAN, HE'S
A NICE GUY, SO MY SOLICITATIONS
OF THE STALER PEOPLE, THE GREEN
BAY, THEY ARE TOUGH FANS, THEY
FILL THOSE STANDS IN THAT
WEATHER.
SNOW OR HAIL, IT DOESN'T
MATTER, IT'S ABOUT GREEN BAY
FANS.
IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T HEARD,
YOU CAN FORGET ABOUT GLOBAL
WARMING, THERE'S A SHIP DOWN IN
THE ANTARCTIC, THEY WERE DOWN
TO STUDY GLOBAL WARMING AND
THEY GOT FROZEN AND THE RESCUE
SHIP GOT FROZEN AND THE NEXT
SHIP GOT FROZEN, WE SENT A
COAST GUARD CUTTER TO GET THEM
OUT OF THERE.
IN AMERICA, IT'S SO COLD IN
SOME PLACES, IT'S DANGEROUS TO
YOUR HEALTH.
WIND CHILLS AS LOW AS 65
DEGREES BELOW 0, THINK OF THAT.
FORECASTERS SAY THOSE WIND
CHILLS WILL LIST FROM MONTANA
TO ALABAMA AND THEY'RE COMING
AFTER A MAJOR SNOWSTORM,
CAITLIN BUDGETERBACKER BERG HAS
THE STORY.
IT'S THE COLDEST AIR IN
NEARLY TWO DECADES AND IT'S TO
PLUNGE TO SUB 0 LOWS.
IT WAS NICE AND BALMY.
THE ARCTIC BLAST IS FRIGID
DENSE AIR KNOWN AS THE POLAR
VORTEX AND RUMINATING PRESSURES
ARE PUTTING HALF OF THE U.S. IN
A DEEP FREEZE.
IN NORTH DAKOTA, 24 BELOW 0,
AND NEGATIVE 15 IN INDIANAPOLIS
AND CHICAGO.
THESE ARE EXTREMELY
DANGEROUS CONDITIONS AND WE
STRONGLY URGE PEOPLE TO HEED
THE WARNINGS AND TAKE THE
NECESSARILY PRECAUTIONS TO STAY
STAIF.
IF YOU CAN STAY INDOORS, DO SO.
AND IF TEMPERATURES FROM 15
TO 30 BELOW AREN'T BAD, THE
WIND CHILL WILL MAKE IT FEEL
LIKE 50 TO 60 BELOW, FROSTBITE
CAN OCCUR IN ONLY 5 MINUTES,
THEY'RE CAUSING ANOTHER ROUND
OF TRAVEL PROBLEMS, IN NEW
YORK, THIS PLANE FLED OFF THE
RUNWAY AND IN CHICAGO, MORE
THAN 1200 FLIGHTS FOR CANCELLED.
I WANT TO GO HOME, GET BACK
SETTLED IN, WE'VE BEEN COOPED
OFF FOR SEVERAL DAYS.
ER
SCHOOL HAS BEEN CALLED OFF
FOR THE ENTIRE STATE OF
MINNESOTA, AS WELL AS
WISCONSIN, ILLINOIS AND IOWA,
ABSENCES WOULD BE EXCUSED.
AUTHORITIES WARNED PEOPLE TO
STAY INDOORS WHEN POSSIBLE AND
TO CHECK ON ELDERLY AND
DISABLED RELATIVES AND
NEIGHBORS.
CAITLIN BERG, CBN NEWS.
TERRY, FOR SOME REASON, I'VE
BEEN OUT IN THAT STUFF, IT'S
NOT ALL THAT COLD.
THAT'S THE DANGER OF IT
BECAUSE WHEN IT'S SO COLD, YOU
DON'T FEEL IT.
IT WAS MINUS 20 IN DALUTH,
YEAH, IT WAS WARM, I WAS IN
BEMIJI, THEY HAD A SNOWSTORM
AND I WAS IN SPIRIT LAKE IOWA,
IT WAS A WIND CHILL OF MINUS
60, THOSE PEOPLE GET USED TO
THAT STUFF.
WELL, THEY DRESS FOR IT AND
THEY PLAY IN IT, YOU KNOW.
I USED TO GO OUT, I MEAN, I
WAS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, I HAD A
BLAZER, I HAD A WRAP AROUND.
WAS THIS WHEN YOU WERE
CAMPAIGNING?
YEAH, AND IT WAS 20 BELOW 0
OR 10 BELOW 0, I JUST --
WHY DID YOU DO THAT?
WELL, I HAD TO SHOW YOU'RE
TOUGH, I DON'T KNOW, BUT I
WASN'T COLD.
YOU DON'T FEEL IT THOUGH,
IT'S DRY, EVEN IN PLACES THAT
HAVE HUMIDITY, THERE'S DRYNESS
IN THE AIR.
I HAVE A LITTLE SIGN IN MY
HOUSE THAT SAYS I WASN'T BORN
IN THE SOUTH BUT I GOT HERE AS
FAST AS I COULD.
.
ER WELL, WE SOUTHERNERS WELCOME
YOU AND IT'S BEEN NICE AND WARM
BUT TO GET TO 13.
IT IS, IT'S GOING DROP
DRASTICALLY.
I LIKE TO RISE, AND I HAVE A
RING AND THE WAY WE TEST IT,
YOU TAKE A SCREWDRIVER AND PUSH
IT INTO THE SOIL AND IF IT GOES
DOWN ABOUT AN INCH OR SO AND
THEN IT'S HARD AND YOU CAN'T
RIDE, SO IT'S GOING -- IT'S
BEEN IN THE 60'S, SO IT WILL BE
WARM ENOUGH TO RIDE AND THEN
IT'S GOING TO FREEZE SOLID SO
MY POOR HORSE, CARROTS.
WELT, IF YOU THINK THE COLD
WEATHER IS BAD, THERE'S ANOTHER
THREAT OF A NATURAL DISASTER
THAT'S WORSE, WE TOLD YOU ABOUT
IT ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO AND
JOHN JESSUP THAT THAT STORY
FROM WASHINGTON.
VOLCANOES COULD BE A BIGGER
THREAT AND ONE OF THOSE
VOLCANOES IS HERE IN THE UNITED
STATES, THE LARGEST VOLCANO IS
LOCATED IN YELLOW STONE
MEASURING 53 MILES WIDE AND
IT'S PRODUCED ONE OF THE MOST
MONSTROUS ERUPTIONS, IF IT
SHOULD ERUPT TODAY, ANYONE
WITHIN DOZENS OF MILES WOULD BE
ANNIHILATED AND PUSH
TEMPERATURES DOWN FROM 9 TO 15
DEGREES FOR YEARS, THAT'S FROM
THE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY FROM
LONDON, SUCH EVENTS COULD RUIN
AGRICULTURE, MASS STARVATION,
THE EFFECTS COULD BE SEVERE TO
THREATEN THE FABRIC OF
CIVILIZATION, IT COULD LEAD TO
AS MUCH AS A BILLION
CASUALTIES, THOSE ARE
STAGGERING STATISTICS.
I USED TO WORK IN YELLOW
STONE AND WE WENT SWIMMING IN
VOLCANO --
REALLY, THE SPRING.
THOSE HOT WATER SPRINGS, BUT
THE WHOLE THING IS ONE GIANT
CALDERA, IT'S PRETTY AND IT'S A
NATIONAL PARK.
THERE'S NO WAY YOU COULD
PREPARE FOR THAT.
ER
THERE'S GAS AND A FILLING
STATION OUT THERE.
IN YOUR SHIRT SLEEVES NO
DOUBT.
BUT IT WAS FREEZING AT NIGHT.
IT WAS BUELL, BUT YOU DON'T
REALIZE, GEYSER IS USED UP,
WHY, BECAUSE IT'S IN THE MIDDLE
OF A VALUE CANE KNOW, YELLOW
STONE LAKE, THEY WERE VOLCANIC
POOLS, YOU WERE SWIMMING IN IT
IN THE FREEZING COLD.
FORTUNATELY, I THINK WE HAVE
THE KIND OF, I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU WOULD CALL IT, LIKE
EQUIPMENT OR WHATEVER TO GAUGE
SOME OF THAT, TO GIVE A WARNING
IF SOMETHING LIKE THAT WOULD
HAPPEN BUT HOW WOULD YOU
PREPARE FOR IT?
WELL, YOU CAN'T, IF THAT
THING BLOWS, IT WILL HAVE A
CLOUD OVER THE ENTIRE UNITED
STATES, IT WILL DESTROY
AMERICA, SO YOU PRAY, BUT THAT
WAS -- TEDDY ROOSEVELT MADE THE
NATIONAL PARK BUT IT WAS ONE
BEAUTIFUL PLACE AND IT WAS A
BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO WORK SO I
SPENT A MONTH OF ALL OF MY
JOURNEYS IN YELLOW STONE PARK,
JOHN?
PAT, THE NATIONAL SECURITY
AGENCY CAN KEEP COLLECTING
EVERYONE'S AMERICAN TELEPHONE
RECORDS EVERY DAY, THAT
OVERSEES SOME OF THE NSA'S
ACTIVITIES, THE APPROVAL IS THE
FIRST SINCE TWO CONFLICTING
COURT DECISIONS OF WHETHER THE
PROGRAM IS CONSTITUTIONAL,
SENATOR RAM PAUL IS SUING THEM,
HE WANTS IT TO STOP SNOOPING ON
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND SAYS
THE AGENCY'S AUTHORITY IS TOO
BROAD.
A SINGLE WARRANT SHOULD NOT
APPLY TO EVERYONE WHO HAS A
CELL PHONE IN AMERICA, SO THE
CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT WITH
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF
PARTICIPANTS BEATS HOME AND
BRING TOS THE FOREFRONT THE
IDEA THAT THIS IS A GENERALIZED
WARRANT AND IT SHOULD BE
CONSIDERED UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
A PRESIDENTIAL ADVISORY
PANEL SAY THEY SHOULDN'T SEARCH
CELL RECORDS WITHOUT COURT
APPROVALS.
LETTING MEMBERS OF CONGRESS
AND THEIR STAFF GET SUBSIDIES
TO PAY FOR OBAMA CARE HEALTH
PLANS, HE SAYS THAT WASN'T PART
OF THE ORIGINAL BILLS, THEY'RE
ASKING THE SUPREME COURT TO
LIFT THE ORDER OF THE LAWS
CONCEPTIVE MANDATE TO ALLOW
DRUGS THAT INDUCE ABORTION,
THEY ISSUED THAT SURPRISE
DECISION TEMPORARILY STOPPING
THE GOVERNMENT TEMPORARILY
FORCING THE MANDATE OF THE
NUNS, THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS IT'S
OFFERED EXEMPTIONS AND
ACCOMMODATIONS TO CHURCHES AND
SOME NON-PROFIT RELIGIOUS
GROUPS BY ALLOWING SOME
ORGANIZATIONS PAY FOR BIRTH
CONTROL.
THE RULES THAT ARE SET UP,
THAT WILL DIRECT OTHER TOS PAY
FOR THOSE DRUG AND IS THE
SISTERS CAN'T BE PART OF IT, IF
THE FORM DOESN'T MATTER, THE
GOVERNMENT SHOULDN'T MAKE THE
SISTERS SIGN.
THE
WHY WOULD ABUSE IN AMERICA
IS MUCH MORE WIDESPREAD THAN
REALIZED AND SOMETIMES SEXUAL
PREDATORS ARE FOUND IN THE
CHURCH, THEY HELP SURVIVORS
PROTECT CHILDREN.
THE CHURCH SHOULD BE THE
LAST PLACE THAT PARENTS WORRY
ABOUT TAKING THEIR CHILDREN,
BUT INSTEAD OF PROVIDING A SAFE
PLACE FOR KIDS, CHILD SEXUAL
ABUSE EXPERTS SAY CHURCH CAN BE
DANGEROUS BY PROVIDING A
WELCOMING ENVIRONMENT FOR
PREDATORS.
WE SO FOCUSED ON ISSUES SUCH
AS FORGIVENESS AND GRACE,
OFFENDERS ARE DRAWN TO THOSE
PLACES.
FORMER CHILD ABUSE
PROSECUTOR SAYS MANY CHURCHES
UNINTENTIONALLY ATTRACT THOSE
WHO WANT TO PREY ON CHILDREN.
CHURCHES ARE ALWAYS IN NEED
OF VOLUNTEERS, I'VE NEVER BEEN
TO A CHURCH THAT WAS NEVER IN
NEED OF A VOLUNTEER AND
CHURCHES ARE HAVE BEEN
ACCEPTING.
IT STANDS FOR GODLY RESPONSE
TO ABUSE IN THE CHRISTIAN
ENVIRONMENT, IN RECENT YEARS,
HE'S SEEN PROGRESS AS BELIEVERS
TALK MORE OPENLY ABOUT THE
PROBLEM, BUT WHAT HE WOULD LIKE
TO SEE NOW, MORE DENOMINATIONS
OF LOCAL CHURCHES DEVELOPING
POLICIES THAT MINISTER TO
SURVIVORS AND PROTECT KIDS.
YOU HAVE TO KNOW ABOUT HOW
OFFENDERS ACT SO YOU CAN STAY
TWO STEPS AHEAD OF THEM.
IT'S LEARNING HOW TO RESPOND
TO REPORTS OF ABUSE, THAT'S
BECAUSE ABUSERS HAVE OFTEN BEEN
WELL LIKED AND TRUSTED LEADERS.
WHEN THE 13 OR 14 YEAR-OLD
KID IN THE YOUTH GROUP WHO'S
CAUSED A LOT OF TROUBLE IN THE
YOUTH GROUP, WHO COMES FROM A
BROKEN HOME, WHO MAY HAVE HAD
SOME TROUBLE WITH THE LAW, WHEN
THAT 14, 15 YEAR OLD COMES
FORWARD AND SAYS THIS
PARTICULAR PERSON IN THE CHURCH
THAT SEXUALLY ABUSED ME AND
THAT PARTICULAR PERSON HAPPENS
TO BE AN ELDER OR A LEADER OR A
WELL RESPECTED PERSON IN THE
CHURCH, HOW ARE WE GOING TO
RESPOND TO THAT BECAUSE THAT'S
WHERE I SEE THE BREAKDOWN.
HE CALLS ON CHURCHES TO
QUICKLY TAKE SEXUAL ABUSE
REPORTS TO THE AUTHORITIES AND
BE PREPARED TO MINISTER TO
VICTIMS, OFFENDERS AND THEIR
FAMILIES.
THE SHEDDING OF LIGHT ON
DARKNESS HE SAY ISS THE BEST
WAY FOR THE CHURCH TO MOVE
FORWARD AND DEMONSTRATE
INTEGRITY IN A FALLEN WORLD.
HEATHER SELLS, CBN NEWS.
ONE THIRD OF ADULTS AROUND
THE WORLD ARE EITHER OBESE OR
OVERWEIGHT, THAT'S NEARLY A
BILLION AND A HALF PEOPLE, A
REPORT FROM A BRITISH THINK
BACK SAYS IT HAS BEEN RISING
RAPIDLY IN THE DEVELOPING
WORLD, IT'S QUADRUPLED SINCE
1980, IT SAYS THE TWO MAIN
REASONS ARE DIETS WITH MORE
SUGAR AND FAT ALONG WITH
SEDENTARY LIFESTYLES, THERE
WILL BE DISEASES AMONG
DIABETES, AND HEART ATTACKS.
WHAT DO YOU THINK SHOULD BE
ADDRESSED TO ABOLISH OBESITY IN
ABOLISH MCDONALD, IT'S THE
SPREAD OF THE FAST FOOD
INDUSTRY, WHETHER --
AND SUGAR, DON'T YOU THINK?
YES, BUT WE COOK THAT WAY,
YOU HAVE TRANSFATS AND YOU HAVE
ALL THESE NOXIOUS THING THAT IS
ARE PUT INTO SUBSTANCES AND
EVEN THE DIET STUFF, HIGH
FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP HAS BEEN
WITHIN OF THE LEADING CAUSES OF
OBESITY IN AMERICA BUT THEY'RE
USING IT NOW ALL OVER THE WORLD
SO IF YOU GO INTO A MCDONALDS,
YOU FIND A BIG MCDONALDS STORE
IN BEIJING, THEY'RE GOING TO
GET A SUPERSIZE BIG MAC AND
THEN THEY'RE GOING TO GET A
GREAT BIG THINK OF SUGARY DRINK
AND IT DOESN'T TAKE MANY OF
THOSE BEFORE PEOPLE START
GETTING FAT AND IT'S ACROSS THE
GLOBE, A LOT OF THESE IS THE
WIMPY'S AND THE FAST FOOD
CHAINS.
WE'VE NEVER HAD MORE
INFORMATION ABOUT HOW TO EAT
WELL, WHAT'S HEALTHY AND WHAT'S
NOT.
AND IF YOU'RE POOR, YOU
CAN'T AFFORD PROTEIN AND WHAT
YOU EAT IS STARCH, SO YOU COULD
GET BREAD CHEAPLY AND YOU COULD
GET POTATOES CHEAPLY AND YOU
COULD GET OF COURSE OTHER KINDS
OF STARCHY-TYPE VEGETABLES.
ER
PASTAS.
ER
PASTAS ESPECIALLY AND THEY
COME CHEAP AND THEY'RE FILLING
AND MAKE PEOPLE FAT.
COMING UP, HAVE YOU EVER
WONDERED WHY SOME MARRIAGES
SUCCEED AND YET OTHERS FAIL,
WE'LL SHOW YOU WHAT OTHER
COUPLES HAVE IN COMMON.
THAT'S NEXT.
WELL, I THINK I'M QUALIFIED
TO SPEAK ON THIS SUBJECT.
I HAVE FOUR WONDERFUL GROWN
CHILDREN WHO HAVE PRODUCED 14
WONDERFUL GRANDCHILDREN WHO ARE
NOW GETTING MARRIED AND I HAVE
NOW 4 GRANDCHILDREN.
ISN'T THAT WONDERFUL?
IT IS WONDERFULFINGER IT'S
THE WAY IT OUGHT TO BE AND EACH
ONE LOVES THE LORD AND YOU SAY
WHAT'S AN ANSWER TO A HAPPY
MARRIAGE, IT'S LIVING FOR JESUS
CHRIST, BUT CAN YOU REALLY BE
HAPPY IN AMERICA?
WELL, THE ANSWER'S ABSOLUTELY
YES, IT'S NOT AS HARD AS YOU
THINK, THEY MAKE IT OUT TO BE
SO HARD BUT THERE'S LITTLE
PRINCIPLES AND PAUL STRAND IS
GOING TO TELL US, I DON'T KNOW
IF YOU'RE AN EXPERT ON IT OR
NOT BUT YOU'RE GOING TELL US
HOW.
ING
THESE DAYS, MARRIAGE GETS A
BAD WRAP, YOU RARELY SEE OR
HEAR ABOUT ANY COUPLES LIVING
THEIR DREAM FOR A LIFETIME.
IN AMERICAN SUBURBS LIKE
THIS, PEOPLE ARE LEADING QUIET
LIVES BUT MANY ARE NOT
DESPERATE AT ALL AND MANY ARE
LIVING IN HAPPY MARRIAGES,
HERE'S HOW THEY STAY HIGHLY
HAPPY AND MARRIED FOREVER.
ER
THEY HAVE ALREADY WRITTEN
BEST SELLERS LIKE FOR MEN ONLY
AND FOR WOMEN ON THE, THEY HAVE
GATHERED COMPREHENSIVE DATA AND
RESEARCH ABOUT SATISFIED
HUSBANDS AND WIVES, THEY SHARE
A FEW KEY ATTITUDES AND
ASPECTS, SHE PUTS IN IN HIGHLY
HAPPY MARRIAGES, CHOOSING THEY
CARE ABOUT YOU TURNS TO
POSITIVE ATTITUDE.
I KNEW THAT I COULD TRUST
HER, I KNEW SHE HAD MY BEST
INTEREST, I KNEW SHE LOVED ME
AND I WOULD BELIEVE THE BEST.
.
ER THE HAPPIEST COUPLES GO,
THEY COULDN'T SC MEANT IT, THEY
LOVE ME AND LET'S MOVE ON, IT
MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE WHEN
YOU ASSUME THE BEST.
CHANTI'S DIFFERENCE --
THERE'S NO ESCAPE ROUTE FOR ANY
OF THE D WORD, DIVORCE, THEY
DON'T KEEP ACCOUNTS OF WHEN THE
RELATIONSHIP CRUMBLES
IT CREATES A WEDGE AND GOD
HAS DESIGNED IT FOR ME TO BE
COMPLETE INTIMACY AND YOU CAN'T
HAVE THAT IF YOU HAVE HIDDEN
POCKETS, THINGS YOU'RE HOLDING
FROM EACH OTHER
THEY'RE GOING ALL IN FOR
THEIR 27 YEAR UNION.
I BELIEVE WE ARE HAPPIER NOW
THAN WE'VE EVER BEEN.
AND DON'T FORGET THE LITTLE
THING, THANK YOUR HUSBAND, LET
HIM APPRECIATE HIS EFFORTS.
INGER
SAYING IT TO A GUY, THAT IS
HIS EQUIVALENT TO I LOVE YOU.
MEN FLEXED TO TAKE THEIR
WIVES HAND AND NOT BE AFRAID OF
PUBLIC AFFECTION LIKE PUTTING
HIS HAND AROUND HER
ALL OF THOSE THINGS CONVEY
I'M CHOOSING YOU ALL OVER AGAIN.
AND MEN NEED TO GET OUT OF A
BAD MOOD QUICK
SO, WHEN HE MAKES AN EFFORT
TO PULL HIMSELF OUT OF THE FUN
K AND NOT BE GRUMPY, THIS IS
NOT GOING TO GO IN THIS BAD
DIRECTION
NO UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS,
THAT'S BECAUSE IF YOUR SPOUSE
CAN'T MEET YOUR EXPECTATIONS,
THEN YOU CAN'T BE HAPPY WITH
THEM, SABRINA CAME INTO
MARRIAGE WITH THIS PROBLEM.ING
NO EXPECTATIONS FROM HER
TOWARDS ME THAT I HAD NO IDEA
THAT WERE THERE, SO THERE WAS
RESENTMENT THAT BEGAN TO BUILD
UP BECAUSE SHE THOUGHT I SHOULD
KNOW THIS
AND THERE WAS THIS WALL
BETWEEN US THAT I COULDN'T
COMPREHEND THAT HE COULDN'T
COMPREHEND.
SHANTI SAYS THE RESEARCH
PROVES THAT THE HOMES THAT
PRACTICE THE ATTITUDES
HIGHLIGHTED IN HER BOOK COULD
BE IMPROVED, THEY WANT PEOPLE
TO KNOW THIS TRUTH, THE 50%
DIVORCE RATE IS A MYTH, ABOUT
80% THRIVE AND SURVIVE, NOT A
MEASLY HALF.
IF YOU KNOW, MOST MARRIAGES
DO MAKE IT, MOST MARRIAGES ARE
HAPPY, IT'S A COMPLETELY
DIFFERENT FEELING LIKE, YOU
KNOW WHAT, STATISTICALLY, WE'RE
GOING TO BE JUST FINE, WE CAN
GET THROUGH THIS BECAUSE MOST
PEOPLE DO.
THE FACTS SHOW, THE REALITY
IS YOU HAVE NO REASON TO BE
FATALISTIC, EVERY COUPLE HAVE
IT IN THEIR POWER THAT ONE THAT
CAN BE TRULY CALLED HIGHLY
HAPPY, REPORTING FROM ATLANTIC
GEORGIA, PAUL STRAND.
WOW, MY WIFE HAD ONE SPECIAL
EXPECTATION SHE LEARNED FROM
HER FATHER, I HAVE TO TAKE THE
GARBAGE OUT.
WELL, YOU GOT OFF THE HOOK,
HIGHLY DOABLE.
GOOD LADY, WE'VE HAD A GREAT
TIME TOGETHER, MANY, MANY
YEARS, UPS AND DOWNS AND MANY
HARDSHIPS.
THOSE THINGS ARE SUPPOSED TO
PULL YOU TOGETHER.
THEY DO, YOU THINK OF THE
HARD TIMES AS BEING THE BEST IN
YOUR LIFE AND YOU CHERISH THEM.
ABSOLUTELY.
ANYHOW, GOD HAS BLESSED ME
AND I THINK ABOUT, HE CHOSE MY
WIFE BECAUSE HE SAW -- I MEAN,
MAN, WE'VE GOT SOME GENETIC
THINGS COOKING, OUR KIDS ARE
AWESOME AND THE GRANDCHILDREN
ARE EQUALLY AWESOME AND YOU
THINK MY WORD, TALK ABOUT
OVERACHIEVERS BUT GOD HAD THE
GENETIC -- I DON'T KNOW THE
GENETICS, YOU DON'T KNOW THE
GENETICS WHEN YOU GET MARRIED.
YES, AND I THINK ALSO YOU
SAID EARLIER, WHEN YOU LOVE THE
LORD, THERE'S A FAITHFULNESS
FACTOR IN THAT, THERE ISN'T ANY
PUSH ON IT, YOU JUST STAND YOUR
GROUND.
AND I THINK YOU KNOW BEING A
GREAT GRANDFATHER,
GRANDCHILDREN IN PARTICULAR
JUST LIKE HAVE GRANDPARENTS
AROUND, IT GIVES THEM A SENSE
OF STABILITY, WE HAVE A FAMILY
THAT STARTED HERE AND THAT IS
HERE AND THAT IS MOVING HERE
AND I REST ON A FOUNDATION AND
THEY FEEL THAT.
OF COURSE THEY DO.
AMEN, WELL, OKAY, I'M NOT
TEACHING YOU ABOUT MINE, BUT
PAUL, YOU DID A GOOD JOB,
BUDDY, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE
MARRIED OR NOT BUT BY ALL
MEANS, GET MARRIED AND STAY
MARRIED BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE
SECRET.
I LOVE THAT 80% SUCCESS RATE.
THE MAN ONCE CALLED FOOTBALL
RAM BOW TALKS ABOUT GOING TO
BATTLE EVERY WEEKEND.
HE'S NOT COMING UP PATTING
ME ON THE SHOULDER AND SAYING
GOOD CATCHFINGER HE'S TRYING TO
KNOCK MY BLOCK OFF
WE'LL SIT DOWN WITH STEVE
SMITH, FOOTBALL PRORECEIVER AND
THAT'S NEXT.
-RECEIVER AND THAT'S NEXT.
IF YOU FOLLOW PRO-BOOT BALL,
YOU KNOW THE CAROLINA PANTHERS
HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE SURPRISES
OF THIS SEASON, AFTER THE FIRST
FEW WEEK, THEY LOOK TO BE DEAD
IN THE WATER, NOW THEY'RE
DIVISION CHAMPS AND HOSTING A
PLAYOFF GAME ON SUNDAY.
ONE REASON FOR THE TURN AROUND
HAS BEEN THE LEADERSHIP OF STAR
RECEIVER STEVE SMITH, RECENTLY
OUR SHAWN BROWN SAT DOWN WITH
THE OLD PRO AND HE TALKED ABOUT
HIS OWN PERSONAL TURN AROUND.
WE'RE NOT A CHANGE OF COOKIE
RECIPE, WE'RE NOT PLAYING PATTY
CAKE, ONE OF MY EX-TEAM MEAT
MATES, 6 FOOT 7, HE'S NOT
PATTING ME ON THE SHOULDER AND
SAYING GOOD CATCH, HE'S TRYING
TO KNOCK MY BLOCK OFF.
STEVE SMITH HAS BEEN
DESCRIBED A AS ONE OF THE MOST
AGGRESSIVE RECEIVERS IN THE
BRAIN, HE'S EASILY ONE OF THE
SMALLEST BUT HE'S ALSO ONE OF
THE MOST PRODUCTIVE.
WHEN YOU'RE PLAYING
FOOTBALL, THERE'S GUY THAT IS
ARE BIGGER, YOU HAVE TO TAKE
SOMETHING TO THE FIELD TO BE
COMPETITIVE, PEOPLE CALL THAT A
CHIP POINT ON YOUR SHOULDER.
IN THIS BUSINESS, I MAKE A
LOT OF MONEY BUT AT THE SAME
TIME, I WORK WITH MY HAND AND
YOU WORK WITH YOUR HANDS AND
YOU'RE WORKING BLUE COLLAR JOB,
YOU HAVE TO BRING YOUR HARD
HAT, I BELIEVE IN DOING IT WITH
YOUR WHOLE HEART, THERE'S GOING
TO BE ONE PERSON THAT WINS THE
PRIZE, SO RUN THE RACE TO WIN
THE PRIZE.
THAT APPROACH SEEMS TO HAVE
PAID OFF, FOR HIS FIRST 8
SEASONS, STEVE TORE UP THE
FIELD WITH HIS STRONG HAND AND
STRONG FEET, OPPOSING TEAMS
WOULD ASSIGN TWO PLAYERS TO
DEFEND HIM, DURING 2005 SEASON,
HE LED THE GAME IN RECEIVING
LINES AND TOUCHDOWNS, IT CAUSED
HIM TO NEGLECT THE FAITH HE
FOUND EARLIER.
NFRJT THE BOILING ROOM OF TAMPA
BAY, 2003, I ACCEPTED CHRIST
AND I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THE
RESPONSIBILITY, UNDERSTAND THE
FULL LIFE LONG COMMITMENT, THE
TRUE COVENANT BETWEEN BELIEVING
IN MYSELF AND WITH CHRIST AND
SO JUST KIND OF WAS LUKEWARM
WITH STRADDLE OFFENSE, LOOKED
FOR WHEN I NEEDED IT, WHI
DIDN'T NEED IT, I SHOVED IT TO
THE SIDE.
WITH PRIDE IF IN THE DRIVER
SEAT, THAT PRIDE LED TO
PHYSICAL ALT OCCASIONS WITH
OPPOSING PLAYERS AND TEAMMATES,
ONE MORNING DURING THE 2010
SEASON, HE TOOK A LOOK AT H*ILS.
.
INGER I REALLY DID NOT
RECOGNIZE THE YOUNG MAN IN THE
MIRROR, I DIDN'T RECOGNIZE HIM,
I DIDN'T LIKE WHAT I SAW, VAIN,
EGO T*IS CAL, THE WORLD
REVOLVED AROUND ME AND IT WAS
THE ONLY IMPORTANT THING AT
THAT TIME WAS ME AND THAT'S NOT
HOW REAL LIFE WORKS, THAT'S NOT
WHAT A HUSBAND OUGHT TO THINK
AND OUGHT TO BE OR A FATHER.
HE SAYS THAT'S WHEN HE WAS
FACED WITH THE QUESTION FROM
GOD.
GOD REALLY BROKE ME AND
ASKED ME THAT QUESTION THAT I
THINK EVERYONE HAS IN DIFFERENT
WAYS WHICH WAS, YOU KNOW,
YOU'VE PLAYED THIS GAME LONG
ENOUGH FOR YOURSELF, WHEN ARE
YOU GOING TO START PLAYING FOR
ME, SO THAT WAS A QUESTION THAT
WAS -- IT HIT HOME.
AT THAT MOMENT, STEVE
DECIDED IT WAS TIME TO GET OFF
THE FENCE, SO HE REDEDICATED
HIS LIFE TO THE LORD.
IT REALLY TOOK ME
STATISTICALLY THAT WAS PRETTY
MUCH THE WORST YEAR THAT I HAD
IN MY PROFESSIONAL YEAR OUTSIDE
OF BREAKING MY ANKLE AFTER
GOING TO SUPER BOWL, BUT
SPIRITUALLY AND MENTALLY AND
PHYSICALLY, IT WAS PROBABLY THE
MOST BEST YEAR I'VE HAD.
STEVE HAD FOUND PEACE WITHIN
HIMSELF AND ON THE FIELD.
TODAY, HE'S STILL AT THE TOP OF
HIS GAME BUT HE ADMITS HE'S
STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS.
PEOPLE SEE WHAT THEY WANT TO
SEE.
WHEN STEVE SMITH TAKES THE
FIELD, WHAT IS IT THAT YOU WANT
PEOPLE TO SEE?
WELL, I USED TO THINK ABOUT
THAT A LOT, AND AS A SOELT, WE
NEED TO QUIT FOCUSING ON WHAT
WE SEE AND UNDERSTAND THAT I
MEAN WE'RE REGULAR PEOPLE, YOU
KNOW, I MOW MY LAWN AND DO ALL
THAT OTHER STUFF JUST LIKE
ANYBODY ELSE, I'M FLAWED, BUT I
THINK SOMETIMES WE DON'T WANT
TO SEE THE REAL -- EVERYONE
ESPECIALLY AS A DAD, HOW MANY
TIMES ARE YOU TOLD, PAY TEN, MY
OLDER SON IS PAY T*EN, CLEAN UP
THOSE LEGOS AND THEN YOU GO AND
GET SOME WATER OR DRINK,
WHATEVER KIND OF DRINK IT IS,
YOU STEP ON THAT LEGO, IF THE
CAMERA WAS RIGHT THERE AT THAT
MOMENT AT 12:00 MIDNIGHT WHEN
YOU STEP ON THAT LEGO MANY THE
MIDDLE OF YOUR FOOT, WOULD YOU
BE HAPPY AT WHAT PEOPLE HEARD
YOU SAY?
STEVE SAYS HE KNOWS HE'S
MADE A LOT OF BAD CHOICES IN
HIS CAREER, HIS BEST DECISION
WAS GETTING SERIOUS WITH CHRIST
AND NOW HE'S ALL ABOUT SHARING
HIS STORY OF GOD'S UNWAVERING
LOVE.
YOU CAN HAVE IN YOUR BANK
ACCOUNT WELLS FARGO, BANK OF
AMERICA, EVERY BIG BUSINESS BUT
ON THAT WEEKEND, THEY AREN'T
OPEN, AT MIDNIGHT WHEN YOU'RE
BROKEN, THAT BANK ACCOUNT ISN'T
GOING THE HELP YOU, GOD HAS
BEEN IN MY LIFE WHETHER I'VE
KNOWN IT OR NOT AND HE'S BEEN
THERE FOR DAYS THAT I HAVE
KNOWN OR NOT KNOWN, HE'S
REDEMPTIVE, HE'S THAT FATHER
THAT EVEN WHEN YOUR DAD IS EVEN
STRIKING OUT THAT HE HOLDS YOU.
WHAT AN EXTRAORDINARY
TESTIMONY.
YOU KNOW, EGO T*IS KL, IT'S SO
EASY IF YOU'RE IN THAT
LIMELIGHT, YOU HAVE GROUPIES
COMING AFTER YOU, YOU HAVE THE
PRESS SAYING WHAT A GREAT GUY
YOU ARE, YOU HAVE STATISTICS
AND PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT YOU IN
THE SPORTS SHOWS AND YOU HAVE A
BIG FAT PAYCHECK, THOSE GUYS
MAKE A LOT OF MONEY IF THEY'RE
GOOD AND YOU'VE GOT A YOUNG KID
THAT MAYBE COMES OUT OF THE
PROJECTS AND SUDDENLY HE'S A
MULTIMILLIONAIRE AND IT'S SO
EASY AND WE JUST SHOWED YOU
SOMEBODY WHO GOT HIS PRIORITIES
RIGHT BECAUSE REALLY THE ONLY
THING THAT MATTERS IN LIFE IS
WHAT DID YOU DO WITH JESUS?
HE IS GOD.
HE IS THE AUTHOR OF LIFE.
HE IS YOUR CREATOR.
AND IF YOU ARE RIGHT WITH HIM,
EVERYTHING ELSE WILL WORK OUT.
IF YOU'RE NOT RIGHT WITH HIM,
IT'S ALL GOING TO GO BAD.
YOU CAN HAVE MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS, YOU CAN HAVE THE
ACCLAIM OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE,
YOU CAN HAVE ALL THIS BUT IF
YOU AREN'T RIGHT WITH GOD, NONE
OF IT MATTERS.
YOU KNOW, THAT -- WELL, WHAT
ABOUT YOU?
LET ME ASK YOU RIGHT NOW, YOU
SAY, WELL, I'M NOT AN NFL STAR,
OKAY, IF YOU ARE, WELL, MAYBE
YOU'RE NOT A ROCK SINGER
EITHER, MAYBE YOU'RE NOT AN
OPERA SINGER, MAYBE YOU'RE NOT
A DISTINGUISHED AUTHOR, BUT
WHAT IF YOU ARE, BUT GOD HAS A
PLAN FOR YOU AND HE LOVES YOU
AND WHAT HE'S DOING RIGHT NOW
IS REACHING OUT TO YOU AND
SAYING TO YOU, WOULD YOU LIKE
TO KNOW ME.
DO YOU WANT TO BE PART OF MY
HEAVENLY KINGDOM, AND IF YOU
DO, IF YOU WANT TO SPEND
ETERNITY WITH HIM, I WANT YOU
RIGHT NOW TO ACCEPT HIS
INVITATION, BOW YOUR HEAD AND
SAY YES, OKAY.
START THE YEAR, JUST BOW YOUR
HEAD, PRAY THIS PRAYER, LORD,
JESUS, SAY THESE WORDS WITH ME
AND MEAN THEM IN YOUR HEART,
LORD, JESUS, I KNOW YOU DIED
FOR ME, I KNOW YOU ROSE AGAIN,
I KNOW THAT YOU LIVE AND YOU
WILL GIVE ME ETERNAL LIFE, SO
NOW I ACCEPT YOUR INVITATION,
JESUS, AND I ASK YOU COME INTO
MY HEART, LIVE IN ME AND FROM
THIS MOMENT ON, I'M YOURS.
I GAVE YOU MY LIFE AND I THANK
YOU.
THANK YOU, JESUS, THAT YOU'VE
HEARD MY PRAYER.
NOW, I WANT TO PRAY FOR YOU,
FATHER FOR EVERYONE WHO PRAYED
WITH ME JUST THEN, LET THE
ANOINTING OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD
COME INTO THEIR LIVES, IN JESUS
NAME, FILL THEM, AMEN.
IF YOU PRAYED WITH ME, I WANT
YOU TO MOVE ON AND I WANT YOU
TO GET SOMETHING GOING IN YOUR
LIFE AND THIS CAN CHANGE YOUR
LIFE.
IT'S A TEACHING, IT'S A COMPACT
DISK, IT'S ONLY THREE MINUTES,
YOU CAN PUT NIT THE CD PLAYER
IN YOUR CAR, WHEREVER YOU HAVE
ONE AND LISTEN TO IT, IT WILL
TELL YOU ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVE
DONE, IT WILL TELL YOU ABOUT
BEING FORGIVEN, I WANT TO GIVE

WELL, IT'S TIME FOR US TO
TAKE SOME OF YOUR E-MAIL
QUESTIONS AND ANSWER THEM AND,
PAT, IN OUR BRING IT ON SEMEN,
CHRISTIAN'S COMMENT IS I HEARD
A MINISTER SAY THAT GOD'S LOVE
IS NOT UNCONDITIONAL, THERE'S
NOWHERE IN THIS BIBLE THAT SAYS
THAT, I'VE BEEN TAUGHT ALL MY
LIFE IT'S THE OPPOSITE, PLEASE
HELP.
WE'RE HUNG UP ON
TERMINOLOGY, THE BIBLE SAYS
CLEARLY IF YOU CONTINUE IN MY
WORD, THEN YOU'RE MY DISCIPLES
AND THEN YOU SHOULD KNOW THE
TRUTH AND THE TRUTH SHALL SET
ME FREE IF YOU CONTINUE IN MY
WORDS, SO THAT'S A CONDITION,
GOD SAYS I LOVE YOU AND I WILL
BLESS YOU BUT YOU HAVE TO
CONTINUE IN MY WORD, SO THAT IS
A CONDITION, SO TO SAY IT'S
UNCONDITIONAL, HIS LOVE OF
COURSE IS, GOD IS LOVE, HE IS
LOVE, SO THERE'S NO CONDITION
TO NA WHATSOEVER, GOD IS NOT
LOVING, GOD IS LOVE, HE THAT
DWELLS IN LOVE DWELLS IF GOD,
SO GOD IS LOVE, NEVERTHELESS,
IF WE WANT TO PLEASE GOD AND
REMEMBER IF YOU CONTINUE IN MY
WORD, YOU KNOW, IF WE WALK IN
THE LIGHT AS HE IS IN THE
LIGHT, WE HAVE FELLOWSHIP WITH
ONE ANOTHER AND THE BLOOD OF
JESUS CHRIST CONTINUOUSLY
CLEANSES US FROM ALL SIN.
YOUR MINISTER IS RIGHT IN A
SENSE BUT DON'T GET HUNG UP ON
TERMINOLOGY, GOD IS LOVE OF
COURSE SO THAT'S UNCONDITIONAL,
BUT IN TERMS OF OUR APPROACH TO
HIM, THERE HAS TO BE OBEDIENCE,
THERE HAS TO BE OBEDIENCE, YOU
CAN'T JUST SAY, WELL, I SAID
YES ONCE UPON A TIME AND I'M
GOING LIVE FOR THE DEVIL FROM
THEN ON?
THIS IS BONNIE AND MY DAD
JUST PASSED AWAY AND HE LEFT ME
SOME MONEY, THE FIRST THING I
WANTED TO DO WAS PAY MY
TITHING, WHAT IS A WISE
INVESTMENT?
I THINK INVESTING IN THE
KING, IF YOU WANT TO PUT A
TITHE, FIND SOMEBODY WHO
BELIEVERS IN THE BIBLE, FIND
SOMEBODY WHO'S REACHING OUT TO
THE NEEDY AND THE POOR AND
REACH OUT TO THOSE AND IF YOU
CAN GIVE TO A MINISTRY SUCH AS
THAT, THAT IS WONDERFUL, BEYOND
THAT, I AM A STRONG BELIEVER IN
STRONG COMPANIES THAT PAY, THAT
HAVE PAID YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER
YEAR GOOD DIVIDENDS, I THINK TO
HAVE -- AS ONE GUY SAID
INVESTMENTS THAT SWEAT, YOU
WANT SOMETHING THAT PAYS
SOMETHING, SO THAT'S WHAT I
THINK IS GOOD, BUT YOU COULD --
I HATE TO SAY GET AN INVESTOR
ADVISER, MOST OF THEM WILL GIVE
YOU BAD ADVICE, BUT THERE ARE
COMPANIES, I AM PARTICULARLY
FOND OF THESE MASSIVE LIMITED
PARTNERSHIPS WHERE THEY PAY OUT
MOST OF THEIR INCOME IN
DIVIDENDS.
THIS IS CAT WHAT SAYS PLEASE
ELABORATE ON MEDIUMS, YOU CAN
SEE IF YOU CAN TEST -- I'M
WATCHING THIS ONE MEDIUM AND
SHE ALWAYS HAS SPOT ON
INFORMATION.
LOOK, THAT TV SHOW, TV
SHOWS, THEY CAN MAKE THOSE
PEOPLE SAY ANYTHING AND HAVE
ANYTHING THEY WANT TO, I MEAN,
THOSE THINGS, THEY'RE DRAMATIC,
SO YOU COULD HAVE A SCRIPT
WRITER, I DON'T KNOW WHAT SHE
DOES OR DOESN'T DO, BUT I DO
KNOW THE BIBLE CONDEMNS
MEDIUMS, THOSE WHO SPEAK TO THE
DEAD, THAT'S WHAT A MEDIUM IS,
THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE SPEAKING
TO THE DEAD AND THE BIBLE TALKS
ABOUT SPIRIT THAT [INAUDIBLE]
AND CONDEMNS THEM, SO I KNOW
WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS REGARDLESS
OF LONG ISLAND MEDIUM WHICH IS
THE NAME OF THE SHOW, ALRIGHT.
OKAY, THIS IS A VIEWER WHO
SAYING HOW IS JUDGMENT DAY
GOING TO HAPPEN AND HOW CAN I
ENSURE THAT I'LL BE GOING TO
HEAVEN WHEN THAT DAY COMES?
I THINK THE BIGGEST THING IS
TO LIVE THE LORD EVERY DAY, YOU
LIVE FOR HIM, YOU LOVE HIM AND
YOU SERVE HIM AND WHEN THE
JUDGMENT DAY COMES, BUT WE CAN
SEE THESE THINGS, I REALLY
BELIEVE WE'RE GETTING MUCH
CLOSER TO THE END OF THE THINGS
THAN WE EVER HAVE BEEN BEFORE,
THERE'S SO MANY PROPHETIC THING
THAT IS ARE BEING FULFILLED AND
I'M NOT GOING INTO GREAT DETAIL
RIGHT NOW BUT I THINK WE ALL
OUGHT TO BE CONCERNED, PAUL
SAID THAT I MAY OBTAIN THE
RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD,
HERE'S A MAN WHO GAVE HIS
ENTIRE LIFE TO GOD, BUT IF I
CAN ATTAIN TO THAT FINAL DAY TO
BE PART OF HEAVEN AND THE BIBLE
SAYS DON'T REJOICE THAT THE
DEVIL'S A SUBJECT TO EVEN
REJOICE THAT YOUR NAMES ARE
WRITTEN IN HEAVEN, I BELIEVE
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO
MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN
YOUR HEART TO JESUS AND THEN WE
WALK IN THE LIGHT AS HE IS IN
THE LIGHT DAY BY DAY BY DAY BY
DAY BY DAY WE GIVE HIM OUR BEST
AND OUR ALL AND WE DON'T HAVE
TO WORRY ABOUT AM I IN OR NOT.
THIS IS JOANNE THAT SAYS MY
OLDER BROTHER WON'T SPEAK TO
HIM BECAUSE I'VE STEPPED WHEN
HE'S TRIED TO BORROW MONEY FROM
MY MOTHER, HE'S PAID THOUSANDS
OF DOLLARS IN THE PAST AND
NEVER PAID HER A NICKEL BACK,
HE RESENTS ME FOR IT AND WON'T
SPEAK TO ME, I'M HER EXECUTRIX
AND I AM OVEREXTENDING, MY
SPIRIT TELLS ME NOT TO TRUST
HIM BUT HE'S MY BROTHER, I
VALUE YOUR OPINION.
YOU'RE EXECUTORS, YOU HAVE A
LEGAL OBLIGATION TO PRESERVE
THAT ESTATE AND YOU CANNOT LET
IT BE -- LOSE IT BY SOMEBODY
LIKE THIS BROTHER.
HE'S OBVIOUSLY UP TO NO GOOD
AND YOU HAVE AN ABSOLUTE LEGAL
RESPONSIBILITY AND YOU COULD
TELL HIM, LOOK, BEFORE THE LAW,
I AM THE LEGAL EXECUTRIX OF
THIS ESTATE AND I HAVE TO
PRESERVE ITS ASSETS OR I WILL
BE SUED, SO YOU JUST SAY, NO,
YOU CAN'T HAVE ANYMORE MONEY,
AND YOU HAVE TO DO THAT AND IF
HE'S PREYING ON AN ELDERLY
PARENT, IT'S A SHAME, THERE MAY
COME A TIME WHERE YOU HAVE TO
SUE TO GET THE MONEY BACK, I
KNOW IT'S HARD BUT YOU HAVE A
LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY AS
EXECUTRIX TO DO THAT AND IT HAS
NOTHING TO DO WITH I LOVE MY
BROTHER OR DON'T LOVE HIM AND
YOU HAVE TO SAY I LOVE YOU BUT
I HAVE A LEGAL OBLIGATION AND
HERE IT IS.
WISE COUNSEL.
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR
QUESTIONS, WE ALWAYS LOVE
HEARING FROM YOU, COMING UP, AN
UNWANTED ORPHAN WHO FOUND A
LOVING HOME AND COULDN'T STAND
IT.
HEAR WHY SHE WANTED TO COMMIT
SUICIDE AND WHAT STAYED HER
HAND.
THAT'S NEXT.
AS A CHILD, BECKY KITCHEN
SON ENDURED THINGS THAT NO ONE
SHOULD EVER HAVE TO GO THROUGH
AND WHILE HER ABUSE EVENTUALLY
STOPPED, HER NIGHT MACE DID NOT.
I WAS TREATED LIKE AN OUT
CAST, LOCKED IN A ROOM, I
STAYED IN THE DARK FOR TWO AND
A HALF YEARS, YELLING,
SCREAMING, JUST CONSTANT,
TERRORIZING ME.
BECKY KITCHEN SON WAS BORN
INTO THE FOSTER CARE SYSTEM,
SHE HAO HAUNTING MEMORIES OF
THE FAMILY THAT TOOK HER IN
WHEN SHE WAS 2.
THE ONLY THING I ATE OFF WAS
LIQUID, BOTTLE, I HAD
MALNUTRITION TOO.
I WAS IN A PLAYPEN-LIKE THING
JUST WHERE I LIVED BY MYSELF.
UNTIL THE AFTERNOON, BECKY'S
FOSTER MOTHER TRIED TO DROWN
HER IN A TUB OF SCOLDING WATER,
SHE SURVIVED AND WAS TAKEN TO
THE HOSPITAL.
I GOT BURNT PRETTY BAD,
AFTER THAT INCIDENT, THEY PUT
ME IN A NEW FOSTER HOME WHICH
WAS WITH THE FAMILY THAT I
ENDED UP STAYING WITH.
THEY SHOWED SO MUCH LOVE, MOMMA
ALWAYS TOLD ME THAT SHE LOVED
ME, DAD ALWAYS TOLD ME HE LOVED
ME AND MOMMA ALWAYS SHARED THAT
GOD LOVED ME.
AS SHE GREW OLDER, BECKY
SAYS THE MESSAGE OF GOD'S LOVE
WASN'T THE ONE SHE BELIEVED.
IF EITHER GOD IS LOVE OR I
WOULD HEAR IF YOU'RE BAD, YOU
GO TO HELL, AND I ALREADY FELT
BAD ABOUT MYSELF.
BECKY WAS ALSO TORMENTED BY
BAD NIGHTMARES AND CONSTANT
THOUGHTS OF SUICIDE.
I FELT VERY SUICIDAL, ALWAYS
THINKING ABOUT DEATH.
AFTER HIGH SCHOOL, BECKY
JOINED THE NAVY, BY NOW, SHE
HAD DEVELOPED AN INEXPLICABLE
FEAR OF CHURCH.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS, I
WOULD GET SO STIRRED UP ON THE
INSIDE, MY WHOLE WORLD WOULD GO
CRAZY WHEN I WOULD GET NEAR OR
IN A CHURCH.
ER
BECKY USED DRUGS AND ALCOHOL
TO ESCAPE YOUR REALITY BUT THE
SUICIDAL THOUGHTS BECAME
OVERBEARING, THE NIGHTMARES
MORE REAL.
ON THE INSIDE, I WAS
TERRORIZED JUST BY THOSE
NEGATIVE THOUGHTS.
WHEN I WROTE THE LETTER TO MY
PARENTS TELLING THEM I LOVED
THEM BUT I COULDN'T LIVE ANY
LONGER AND TOOK A BUNCH OF
PILLS, WENT OUT DRINKING,
BLACKED OUT, ENDED UP IN THE
HOSPITAL.
HER LIFE WAS SPARED THAT DAY
BUT IT WAS THE DEATH OF HER
MOTHER YEARS LATER THAT MADE
HER WANT TO LIVE.
SHE TOOK MY HAND IN THE
HOSPITAL AND SAID I'M GOING TO
BE WITH JESUS NOW.
WHEN SHE TOOK HER FINAL BREATH,
I WAS LIKE, SHE REALLY DOES
HAVE SOMETHING THAT I DON'T
HAVE, THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME I
REALLY STARTED TO ACKNOWLEDGE
THAT I NEEDED SOMETHING
DIFFERENT.
SHE TOOK A JOB WORKING AT
DAYCARE TO HELP OUT A FRIEND.
HER HELPER QUIT AND I SAID,
WHERE IS IT AT?
AND SHE SAID AT THE BAPTIST
CHURCH.
I SAID, NO, I DON'T WANT TO GO
TO CHURCH.
SHE SAID IT'S IN THE BACK ROOM,
WE HAVE THE KIDS BACK THERE, SO
I TOOK THE JOB AND IT WAS A
BLESSING, AND THE WHOLE TIME,
THEY PLANTED LITTLE SEEDS OF
FAITH IN MY HEART.
SHE WAS ALSO SEEING A
CHRISTIAN COUNSELOR, THAT
FRIENDSHIP LED HER TO THE VERY
PLACE SHE HAD BEEN AVOIDING
MOST OF HER LIFE.
ONCE I STARTED GOING TO
CHURCH IS WHEN I REALLY MET
JESUS.
EVEN WITH FEAR IN MY HEART, I
CAME EVERY SUNDAY, SOMETHING
KEPT DRAWING ME BACK, BRINGING
BACK BACK, BRINGING ME BACK,
AND I HAD TO FIGHT THROUGH THE
FEAR AND I WOULD GO.
THEN ONE EASTER SUNDAY, SHE
WAS MOVED BY THE DEMONSTRATION
OF CHRIST'S LOVE.
AT THE END OF THE SERVICE,
THEY PUT UP A CLIP FROM THE
PASSION OF THE CHRIST AND IT
WAS LIKE I WAS RIGHT THERE, I
WAS IN IT, IT WAS LIKE I WAS
RIGHT THERE AT THE TOMB, I
STOOD UP AND IN THE CHURCH AND
I WAS LIKE, I WANT JESUS, AND I
FELT A CHANGE RIGHT THEN, MY
LIFE CHANGED RIGHT AT THAT
MOMENT THAT I PRAYED THE
SINNER'S PRAYER.
THE NIGHTMARES GONE, NO MORE
THOUGHTS OF ENDING HER LIFE,
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 40 YEARS,
BECKY STARTED TO LOVE HERSELF
AND SHE BELIEVED FINALLY THAT
JESUS LOVED HER TOO.
JESUS ACCEPTS US JUST AS WE
ARE RIGHT THEN, I DIDN'T HAVE
TO DO ANY WORK TO CHANGE BECKY,
JESUS CHANGES ME ON A DAILY
BASIS.
AND THAT GOES ON FOREVER AND
EVER AND EVER BECAUSE WE ARE
FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE
THE BIBLE SAYS, THAT WE ARE
CREATED IN HIS IMAGE AND IN HIS
LIKENESS, THAT HE LOVES US WITH
AN EVERLASTING LIVE, THESE ARE
THE THINGS IN THE WORD OF GOD
WHO DESCRIBES WHO HE IS, THE
RELATIONSHIP HE WANTS TO HAVE
WITH US AND THE ENEMY OF GOD
COMES ALONG AND WHAT DO YOU
THINK HE DOES, HE DISTORTS THAT
IMAGE, HE DISTORTS OUR IMAGE OF
OURSELVES TELLING US WE ARE
UNLOVABLE, UNWORTHY,
UNFORGIVABLE, HE DOES IT
THROUGH THINGS LIKE ABUSE,
DEPRAVATION, MISUSE, ADDICTIONS
OF THINGS, ALL KINDS OF THINGS,
AND THEN WE LIVE IN THAT LIE
UNTIL THE DAY WE UNDERSTAND THE
TRUTH, THE TRUTH IS WE ARE ALL
SINNERS IN NEED OF A SAVIOR,
THE TRUTH IS WE HAVE A GOD WHO
LOVES US SO MUCH THAT HE HAS
PLANNED FOR AN ETERNITY WITH US
AND HE IS HERE TO SAVE US FROM
THE THINGS AROUND US, THE
THINGS THAT THE ENEMY TRIES TO
USE TO DESTROY US, WE HAVE TO
DECIDE WHO WILL WE BELIEVE,
WHOSE REPORT WILL YOU BELIEVE,
THE ENEMY WHO'S TOLD YOU YOU
ARE UNWORTHY, UNLOVABLE,
UNFORGIVABLE OR WILL YOU
RECEIVE TODAY THE WORD OF THE
LORD?
YOU ARE FEARFULLY AND
WONDERFULLY MADE BY A FATHER
WHO WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU AND
WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU, BY A
SAVIOR WHO GAVE EVERYTHING HE
HAD TO REDEEM YOU AND ME AND TO
MAKE A WAY FOR US TO BE WITH
HIM ALWAYS, TODAY RECEIVE THAT,
THERE'S NOTHING SCARY ABOUT
GOD, NOTHING SCARY AT ALL,
WHAT'S FRIGHTENING IS MISSING
OUT ON ALL HE'S PREPARED FOR
US, IT'S NOT THAT HE'S A HARSH
GOD WHO SAYS YOU'RE GOING TO
HELL, IT'S THAT HE IS PERFECT
LOVE, HE INVITES US TO ALLOW US
TO INVADE US AND GIVE US HOPE
FOR THE FUTURE, THERE IS NO
PLACE FOR THOSE WHO DON'T
BELIEVE, WHO DON'T ACCEPT IN
THE WORLD WITH HIM, IN THE
EVERLASTING WORLD WITH HIM BUT
TODAY YOU CAN KNOW WHAT IT'S
LIKE TO WALK WITH HIM, INVITE
HIM INTO YOUR HARD, SURRENDER,
TODAY SAY I CHOOSE YOU, I
CHOOSE THE TRUTH, I WANT TO BE
SET FREE, HE'S THERE FOR
EVERYONE WHO CALLS UPON HIM
NAME, IF YOU HAVE A NEED AND
YOU WANT SOMEONE TO PRAY WITH
YOU, IT'S 1-800-759-0700 SX,
THE PERSON WHO ANSWERS THAT
PHONE IS SOMEONE WHO'S FOUND
THAT HOPE AND THAT PEACE, CALL
