did you see that little kid that pentecostal kid recently they had a kid who
was doing
speaking in tongues he was a young preacher now did you growing up did you go
to church
we would sometimes my dad would take us over there i mean my dad was so old
when i was young
when i was a child and so he would walk over there to church and he'd fall
asleep he'd fall
asleep wherever we were yeah and so when i got there i was kind of on my own
wherever we went
you know my dad was like i'll introduce you to people we'd go we'd sit down for
a second till he could take a break and then he'd be dead asleep so then i
would just be kind of like
in these places and i had this sleeping father that felt uncomfortable and then
i was there and had to
kind of like navigate some situations that kind of stuff would happen a lot
with my dad and how
what kind of church was it was that presbyterian presbyterian yeah they had
three nice oak trees i
remember and uh they tried to do an insurance fire once or twice but it didn't
take and
and um great breakfast over there though right god nothing to bring you home
you know nothing
i'm bringing to the lord like a dang one of those donuts with pink frosting and
i think of like
different churches like you remember like we went to this church uh in maryland
that uh just amazing
you go and get pizza donuts and you know you're like usually a little hungover
on sunday and you're like
this is sweet you don't have a little kick from that lemonade you're like this
is perfect yeah god knows
what i need but yeah church was i thought the funnest thing about church was
just kids playing and stuff
like like like a social environment yeah you know and it used to be that was
the place you saw anybody
they didn't have all this other stuff you had to you know fight off yellow
fever all week and dysentery
and get everybody's butts clean and everything and then wagging them up to
church and that's where you'd
see somebody and hope somebody would with a little bit of money would make love
to your daughter or you
know or you know that's where you know that's where it happened it all happened
right there on the you
know and you know it's like you know there is something strange about because
also i spent
my 20s and you know my 30s very much opposed to it and then i married this
woman that that uh is catholic
and i mean i was raised catholic but kind of just kind of culturally and but
there is something about
there's a quietness there that you know there's something meditative about it
and maybe because
it's so boring but it was it's there is something about like oh and i'm just
standing there with my
kids i'm just sitting there with my kids it's it's like the world slows down
like i you know you see why
people go and why they have a connection to it yeah i love i mean i love faith
you know i have
i feel like i have a good faith you know i like being able to close my eyes and
and i like to pray
twice a day i like to be able to think about god and and and talk and or my god
and ask him you know
what i can do for others and just things like that or if i need help to offer
me some suggestion
um i love that kind of stuff i mean one of the best times ever had in my life
or best i ever felt was
when i felt like i had a really strong connection to a higher power yeah and i'd
worked on it a lot
and it really came to fruition and even if some people say well that's voodoo
whatever it is doesn't
matter it worked it like i it worked as much as it as it it was real as far as
i knew and if that's if
that's the truth to me then that's great well it's also you talk about you you
had mentioned before ego
right like that humility or just a concept of humility is so necessary right to
navigate this
because if you let the ego take over it's trouble you know what i mean and i
know that yeah i know that's
to some people listening and then we just sound like we're saying gobbledygook
but like it is one of
those like when you you know you're somebody that if you you know like i've
struggled with my ego and
stuff like that it's like the only way you can get that in line is having some
humility and like and the
premise of religion that or belief system that there's a higher power is is
very kind of it's like that
structurally s you know literally puts you in a position of of humbleness you
know what i mean
because you're working with alongside somebody else or for somebody else yeah
yeah oh i'm so grateful
that there's something else out there that i can believe because yeah i think i
like rejected the
world so much that i was in growing up that i wasn't going to take direction
from anybody in it
probably you know i hated my environment so much i despised like i mean i despised
my environment
you know it just i mean it everything about it hurt me i felt like right that's
how i felt anyway yeah and so
no one in the war of human probably would i ever really believe in right so you
almost need this
other this this uh satellite to beam through this other entity to help me get
adjusted to trust
the world again and so that's why i'm man because for me and everybody can have
their own thoughts i
don't but for me as long as they're the same as mine i'm fine with it but for
me man i'm so because i
wouldn't believe you just said hey listen to this guy i don't know if i would
have done that but you
give me a a a hype of an invisible being right yeah visually invisible you know
and it's just and there's
just enough malleability in there for me to say okay i'm well i'm willing to
try this and then it opens
up more of a door for me of like um of connection does that make any sense yes
i think also like even
saying i i i think you know the whole agnostic i don't know is that's that's
just where you gotta be
you know what i mean it's like it's like i don't you know i think that human
beings
are so arrogant and the assumption that like every generation has thought that
they've had it figured
out and every generation has been wrong yeah do you know what i mean like even
you know so it's like
if we can't be like we don't know then we're really kind of starting from a bad
position
