can't walk around the church with an attitude [Applause] now i ain't scared to say what i'm saying because i got my bus money y'all ain't getting it back so i get to tell the truth worship leaders

buried a young girl 22 years old and the families were kind of at odds with each other and the young worshiper he wasn't from my church got on the stage and i guess he wanted to sing a certain song and you can't just push ministry into your certain song and he jumped on there already getting ready to fight he said it's a war cry i got buttons at my i got a button i can push your mic just go off just it's a war cry and he's singing songs that ain't got nothing to do with the event y'all tell him it is mother burgers was praying over there thank you mother burgess [Applause] i wrote some songs

she really smiling now and i apologize to that lady that i thought wasn't looking it wasn't paying attention and i thought she was rolling her eyes she just woke up she was asleep i would give her a hundred dollars but i don't want to embarrass her just i thought she was mad because she's sitting right over there just asleep as she could be but when i started saying these him she woke right up see all right watch this i'm working on my first movie i'm so excited amen and it's um netflix called us last week and i don't know the language this is really funny so i'm talking to the lady over marketing and she said i need to say something she said i know we're all on the joint call the conference call she said but i need to let pastor key know i'm a fan she said i've been listening to your music for years she said folk around this office no when i come in in the morning i play as my john p key so i smile wait wait so we start talking about the movie and she said the movie sounds so good now these people have offered me a deal and they haven't seen they don't know if i'm capable and i said that i said why are you guys talking to me now and you haven't seen trailer she said something she said because i know your body of work she said and your body of works reached for excellence come on y'all ain't saying and i got happy on the other end of the phone so hold on so i don't know the language when you're talking you know movies and and stories what i do know is i've watched movies that i can tell what's right and wrong i know i hired a professional lighting guy i've got professional camera people so she says to me she said what we ought to do is just go on and let you finish the bible get the bible and she said when you finish with your bible we can cut it up and i'm so crazy i'm thinking she's talking about my holy bible but this is a term they use for breaking the story down so instead of a movie y'all probably know what i didn't know it it's they want to take the movie now and make it a series isn't that good so she said do you have the bible i said i got it right here and i went along i had the bible right there on my desk i ain't know what scripture she wanted me to turn to but i was ready the movie is called the lost song and it takes place in carolinas my father was born in in blacksburg and in gaffney area and his his mother died and he moved they moved him to buncombe county and real quick the stories about him going to durham walking from from from from gaffney area all the way to durham and meeting a beautiful woman named lizzy and they have 16 children yeah 16 of us i'm the 15th or 16th and wait a minute so so um y'all got stuck on them 16 years and i just kind of scared me out but um yes um he has a choir in 1947 and they were called
