WEBVTT 00:00:03.879 --> 00:00:07.099 smokes, news and weather, music and jokes. See 00:00:07.099 --> 00:00:09.300 on the porch in my favorite house coat, it's 00:00:09.300 --> 00:00:12.400 the Sarah Beth Terry Show. She's a feral Christian 00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:15.580 out in the wild, a cigarette mom with a queen 00:00:15.580 --> 00:00:18.039 bee style. Talking or singing about somebody 00:00:18.039 --> 00:00:20.500 you know, it's the Sarah Beth Terry, the Sarah 00:00:20.500 --> 00:00:23.839 Beth Terry, it's the Sarah Beth Terry Show. I'm 00:00:23.839 --> 00:00:28.660 Sarah Beth Terry and you're not. Oh, good evening. 00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:30.480 It's eight o 'clock and welcome to the porch. 00:00:31.210 --> 00:00:33.049 I'm Sarah Beth Terry, your host for another fun 00:00:33.049 --> 00:00:35.090 edition of Cigarette Mom on this Monday, July 00:00:35.090 --> 00:00:39.170 the 6th, 2026. Does anybody else feel like it's 00:00:39.170 --> 00:00:41.689 like a Tuesday instead? Because I have been off 00:00:41.689 --> 00:00:43.649 all day. And I think it's because yesterday, 00:00:44.130 --> 00:00:48.229 no, actually Saturday. Saturday I realized that 00:00:48.229 --> 00:00:54.109 it was 40 days until my 43rd birthday. Now, I'm 00:00:54.109 --> 00:00:56.289 big on using that 40. Like there was 40 days 00:00:56.289 --> 00:00:58.390 in the wilderness and 40 days that it rained 00:00:58.390 --> 00:01:01.979 and, you know. 40 days of Lent, whatnot. I want 00:01:01.979 --> 00:01:05.099 to borrow that. So I did. So this is the 40 days 00:01:05.099 --> 00:01:10.760 that the porch glow up. Consciously, over the 00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:13.680 next 40 days until my 43rd birthday, I am actively 00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:16.700 and intentionally and consciously convicting 00:01:16.700 --> 00:01:19.459 doing some things. I am going to the gym. I am 00:01:19.459 --> 00:01:22.439 walking. I am eating better. I am drinking my 00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:25.599 water. And I'm going to be a better version of 00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:30.109 myself by my birthday. So that's the plan. Wellness 00:01:30.109 --> 00:01:33.349 check on Mitch McConnell. Why? I don't care. 00:01:34.930 --> 00:01:39.670 Anyway, here's all the news fit to Cisco on the 00:01:39.670 --> 00:01:42.150 porch this evening. You ready? On the front page 00:01:42.150 --> 00:01:44.069 this evening, America faces Belgium in the World 00:01:44.069 --> 00:01:47.129 Cup knockout match. The United States plays Belgium 00:01:47.129 --> 00:01:48.329 tonight in one of the biggest sporting events 00:01:48.329 --> 00:01:51.530 of the summer. A win sends the Americans to the 00:01:51.530 --> 00:01:54.290 quarterfinals against Spain after Spain eliminated 00:01:54.290 --> 00:01:58.719 Portugal earlier today. Yes. Soccer has captured 00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:00.480 unusual attention in the U .S. this World Cup 00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:02.079 with television ratings continuing to climb. 00:02:02.180 --> 00:02:03.840 It's because we love having overnight guests 00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:05.140 from other countries that know how to respect 00:02:05.140 --> 00:02:08.360 our country. They've told them a bunch of bad 00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:09.759 stuff about America and they go here and they're 00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:11.080 like, this place is great. We're like, we told 00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:14.539 you so. It's fantastic. Come back again. Let's 00:02:14.539 --> 00:02:16.020 have another slumber party with our cousins from 00:02:16.020 --> 00:02:20.770 overseas. Wall Street begins earnings season. 00:02:21.009 --> 00:02:23.210 Get excited about that. Investors are watching 00:02:23.210 --> 00:02:24.810 the first major earnings report of the summer 00:02:24.810 --> 00:02:26.689 while also keeping an eye on interest rates and 00:02:26.689 --> 00:02:29.150 artificial intelligence spending. Markets were 00:02:29.150 --> 00:02:30.870 generally higher Monday as semiconductor and 00:02:30.870 --> 00:02:37.050 AI -related companies held lead gains. So, there 00:02:37.050 --> 00:02:40.550 will come a payday. Hallelujah. Just a payday. 00:02:41.210 --> 00:02:44.270 That's what I think. So, you know. Hello. Good 00:02:44.270 --> 00:02:46.110 to see some home folk on here. Good to see you 00:02:46.110 --> 00:02:50.830 on the porch. Welcome. AI spending keeps reshaping 00:02:50.830 --> 00:02:52.889 big business. Major technology companies continue 00:02:52.889 --> 00:02:54.810 reorganizing around artificial intelligence, 00:02:55.050 --> 00:02:57.650 with more investment flowing into chips, cloud 00:02:57.650 --> 00:03:00.050 computing, and automation. Analysts say AI remains 00:03:00.050 --> 00:03:01.650 the dominant force driving corporate strategy 00:03:01.650 --> 00:03:04.969 in 2026. Like I said about six months ago, you 00:03:04.969 --> 00:03:06.669 can either ride this dragon or get burnt by it, 00:03:06.689 --> 00:03:09.990 but it's coming and it's here. Heat is still 00:03:09.990 --> 00:03:11.810 gripping parts of the United States, although 00:03:11.810 --> 00:03:13.569 some areas are finally cooling down after the 00:03:13.569 --> 00:03:15.469 Independence Day weekend. Thank God we had some 00:03:15.469 --> 00:03:17.610 rain in West Virginia, and it went from 105 to 00:03:17.610 --> 00:03:21.889 75, and I... I'm hating it. I'm loving it. I'm 00:03:21.889 --> 00:03:24.550 out here in my new house dress. I know. It makes 00:03:24.550 --> 00:03:26.909 me look super tan. Shut up. Okay, so anyway, 00:03:27.090 --> 00:03:29.189 dangerous heat continues in portions of the southwest 00:03:29.189 --> 00:03:30.949 while scattered thunderstorms remain common across 00:03:30.949 --> 00:03:32.710 Appalachia and the southeast. And I'm here to 00:03:32.710 --> 00:03:34.289 testify. I almost got struck by a lightning right 00:03:34.289 --> 00:03:36.289 here. Thank God I was living right with the Lord. 00:03:37.009 --> 00:03:38.669 Because that could have been me. Instead, it 00:03:38.669 --> 00:03:40.389 was a tree across the creek. And I saw it, and 00:03:40.389 --> 00:03:41.870 it scared the cat, and it came running up under 00:03:41.870 --> 00:03:43.210 my feet, and it's been laying on me ever since. 00:03:43.349 --> 00:03:45.669 And now it's sunshiny outside. If you're watching 00:03:45.669 --> 00:03:47.710 this live on Facebook right now, then you see 00:03:47.710 --> 00:03:50.150 the... the sunshine behind me, if you're just 00:03:50.150 --> 00:03:53.150 listening to it on your radio, trust me, it is 00:03:53.150 --> 00:03:56.750 a pretty night. So, NATO leaders are preparing 00:03:56.750 --> 00:03:58.930 for a summit. Defense, spending, and security 00:03:58.930 --> 00:04:00.909 remain front and center as NATO officials gather 00:04:00.909 --> 00:04:03.490 this week. European leaders are expected to focus 00:04:03.490 --> 00:04:05.469 on long -term defense cooperation and regional 00:04:05.469 --> 00:04:08.030 stability. Well, it's about, as Lizzo would say, 00:04:08.129 --> 00:04:13.219 it's about damn time. So. Get your shit together, 00:04:13.340 --> 00:04:15.900 NATO. All right. In America, at the White House, 00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:17.899 the administration continues emphasizing economic 00:04:17.899 --> 00:04:19.819 growth and manufacturing while preparing for 00:04:19.819 --> 00:04:22.040 a busy political summer. We are headed towards 00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:24.500 midterms. Several policy announcements are expected 00:04:24.500 --> 00:04:26.560 ahead of the campaign season, which we now know 00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:28.860 because of the Supreme Court. There is no limit 00:04:28.860 --> 00:04:30.300 on their spending, so who knows what's going 00:04:30.300 --> 00:04:33.870 to happen. It's kind of crazy. It's kind of crazy. 00:04:33.990 --> 00:04:37.709 In the economy, job growth, not job growth, that's 00:04:37.709 --> 00:04:39.589 not a thing, job growth has slowed compared with 00:04:39.589 --> 00:04:41.930 earlier this year. I attribute that to the heat. 00:04:42.029 --> 00:04:45.230 But unemployment remains relatively low considering 00:04:45.230 --> 00:04:49.870 economists, economists, Sarah Beth, I can't even 00:04:49.870 --> 00:04:52.250 talk today, economists are debating whether the 00:04:52.250 --> 00:04:54.029 slower pace could influence future interest rate 00:04:54.029 --> 00:04:57.769 decisions. Probably and likely, in my opinion. 00:04:57.990 --> 00:05:02.199 But, you know. It's bouncing back a little bit 00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:03.899 at a time. I did notice it at the gas station 00:05:03.899 --> 00:05:05.860 and the grocery store today. It was not nearly 00:05:05.860 --> 00:05:08.199 as heavy as it was a couple weeks ago. So things 00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:11.639 are starting to ease up a hair. And we are starting 00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:12.899 to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Just 00:05:12.899 --> 00:05:15.560 keep the faith. In housing, mortgage rates remain 00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:17.579 elevated, keeping many first -time buyers on 00:05:17.579 --> 00:05:19.980 the sidelines. Inventory has improved slightly, 00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:21.759 but affordability remains a challenge in many 00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:25.100 markets. The median age for buying a new home 00:05:25.100 --> 00:05:27.600 at this point in time in history is 62 years 00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:29.589 old. So three years before you retire, you can 00:05:29.589 --> 00:05:32.529 finally afford to buy a house. Things should 00:05:32.529 --> 00:05:35.149 probably start swinging in the other direction 00:05:35.149 --> 00:05:38.329 any time now, don't you think? In country music, 00:05:38.509 --> 00:05:40.250 the summer festival season is in full swing. 00:05:40.389 --> 00:05:42.050 Independent artists continue finding audiences 00:05:42.050 --> 00:05:45.029 without major labels, so take that. Industry 00:05:45.029 --> 00:05:46.709 insiders are already beginning to speculate about 00:05:46.709 --> 00:05:48.750 CMA and awards season contenders later this year. 00:05:48.790 --> 00:05:50.709 My money's on Ella Langley across the board. 00:05:51.810 --> 00:05:54.959 Just... She's on every station all the time, 00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:57.259 and I love it. Nashville continues seeing strong 00:05:57.259 --> 00:05:59.100 tourism during the summer concert season despite 00:05:59.100 --> 00:06:01.959 the heat. So... If you ain't been to Nashville 00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:04.439 yet, get on down there. In West Virginia, in 00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:06.079 West, by God, Virginia, the place I'm calling 00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:08.139 home for the time being, whitewater rafting remains 00:06:08.139 --> 00:06:10.300 near its peak season. Get real excited about 00:06:10.300 --> 00:06:12.120 it if you're a whitewater rafter. State parks 00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:13.860 continue seeing strong attendance after the Fourth 00:06:13.860 --> 00:06:16.339 of July weekend. It's just getting started. County 00:06:16.339 --> 00:06:17.939 fairs are beginning across the mountain state, 00:06:17.980 --> 00:06:19.579 and farmers are enjoying a productive growing 00:06:19.579 --> 00:06:21.800 season despite periodic heavy rain. I saw some 00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:23.519 beautiful zucchini at the farmer's market this 00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:25.339 past weekend. I encourage you to go out there 00:06:25.339 --> 00:06:28.060 and get some. In the farm report, chickens hate 00:06:28.060 --> 00:06:32.019 heat almost as much as people do. Let me say 00:06:32.019 --> 00:06:35.740 that again. Chickens hate the heat. Today's reminder, 00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:38.519 fresh water twice a day, plenty of shade, a frozen 00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:40.720 watermelon is a great afternoon treat. Gather 00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:42.899 eggs early before they overheat or then sons 00:06:42.899 --> 00:06:44.360 of bucks will start incubating and then you'll 00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:45.660 have blood spots in your eggs and you'll get 00:06:45.660 --> 00:06:46.980 a little baby chicken in your frying pan and 00:06:46.980 --> 00:06:48.779 nobody wants to see that at 7 o 'clock in the 00:06:48.779 --> 00:06:54.319 morning during breakfast. In the garden report, 00:06:54.639 --> 00:06:56.420 my tomatoes should really begin to take off this 00:06:56.420 --> 00:06:59.439 week and yours should too. Watch for hornworms. 00:07:00.019 --> 00:07:01.860 powdery mildew after the rain that we've had 00:07:01.860 --> 00:07:04.379 and blossom in rot if watering has been inconsistent. 00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:06.779 So make sure you keep an eye on your produce 00:07:06.779 --> 00:07:10.209 if you are a gardener like me. If you are joining 00:07:10.209 --> 00:07:12.009 in later on this Thursday for the Fair Christian 00:07:12.009 --> 00:07:13.910 Bible Study, we'd like to give you a little verse 00:07:13.910 --> 00:07:15.310 of the day. This is going to be a new thing that 00:07:15.310 --> 00:07:17.889 we add. The verse of the day, I've been in Ephesians 00:07:17.889 --> 00:07:19.870 all day, so I wanted to share it with you. Walk 00:07:19.870 --> 00:07:21.910 worthy of the calling with which you were called, 00:07:22.089 --> 00:07:24.009 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, 00:07:24.129 --> 00:07:26.769 bearing with one another in love. In Ephesians 00:07:26.769 --> 00:07:29.670 4, verse 1 and 2. If you haven't read Ephesians, 00:07:29.730 --> 00:07:31.389 I encourage you to get into it. Paul tells you 00:07:31.389 --> 00:07:33.110 who you belong to and how you should act, so 00:07:33.110 --> 00:07:36.100 I encourage you. Seems fitting after my Bible 00:07:36.100 --> 00:07:38.319 study today. I read the entire book twice. It's 00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:40.199 not very long. It's more like a pamphlet. It's 00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:43.240 like an epistle pamphlet. There is a bug at my 00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:46.100 dress. Sorry, I'm not digging for something. 00:07:46.259 --> 00:07:47.439 There was something crawling up my leg and it 00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:49.660 was Granday Longleg, which if they had teeth 00:07:49.660 --> 00:07:50.740 would be the most poisonous spider in the whole 00:07:50.740 --> 00:07:52.079 wide world. That's why my Aunt Beth jumped through 00:07:52.079 --> 00:07:53.540 a screen door trying to get away from one back 00:07:53.540 --> 00:07:57.839 in 1989. Anyway, I told my rooster today that 00:07:57.839 --> 00:07:59.660 he was replaceable. He crowed over me before 00:07:59.660 --> 00:08:05.529 daylight to remind me otherwise. Leonard is absolutely 00:08:05.529 --> 00:08:07.670 wearing me out. They had Froot Loops today for 00:08:07.670 --> 00:08:09.149 the first time, and you would have thought that 00:08:09.149 --> 00:08:13.670 it was their birthday. It was fantastic. Today 00:08:13.670 --> 00:08:15.910 I've learned a little bit of porch wisdom. You 00:08:15.910 --> 00:08:19.709 cannot choose comfort sometimes. Sometimes you 00:08:19.709 --> 00:08:23.069 have to do the hard stuff. Today I chose a bike 00:08:23.069 --> 00:08:26.089 ride, another walk, healthy groceries, took a 00:08:26.089 --> 00:08:29.050 little protein, had a Bible study. That's how 00:08:29.050 --> 00:08:30.949 your identity changes. One little habit, one 00:08:30.949 --> 00:08:33.620 little prayer, one little day at a time. If you're 00:08:33.620 --> 00:08:35.720 on the porch glow up, watch for the SBT report. 00:08:37.500 --> 00:08:39.700 I'm trying to lose about 15 pounds in the next 00:08:39.700 --> 00:08:43.340 month. I'm doing it the right way. I'm drinking 00:08:43.340 --> 00:08:46.500 lots of waters. I'm eating lots of proteins. 00:08:46.620 --> 00:08:51.139 And I'm walking my happy ass all over the place. 00:08:51.419 --> 00:08:55.379 So I am up in my gym this week because you cannot 00:08:55.379 --> 00:08:58.159 be, you have to be a badass with a good ass, 00:08:58.200 --> 00:08:59.700 I have learned. So that's, you know, that's kind 00:08:59.700 --> 00:09:03.289 of what I feel about it. If you're keeping up 00:09:03.289 --> 00:09:07.870 with history, on this day, on July 6th in 1189, 00:09:08.370 --> 00:09:11.070 Richard I, or otherwise known as Richard the 00:09:11.070 --> 00:09:17.009 Lionheart, became the king of England. Just wanted 00:09:17.009 --> 00:09:19.830 you to know that. On this day in 1885, Louis 00:09:19.830 --> 00:09:22.490 Pasteur administers his first successful rabies 00:09:22.490 --> 00:09:25.799 vaccine to a human patient. Life with raccoons 00:09:25.799 --> 00:09:29.100 has not been the same since. In 1942, Anne Frank 00:09:29.100 --> 00:09:31.259 and her family go into hiding in Amsterdam on 00:09:31.259 --> 00:09:33.919 this day. In 1957, Althea Gibson becomes the 00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:36.460 first black Wimbledon singles champion. Congratulations 00:09:36.460 --> 00:09:39.980 back then. And in 1994, Forrest Gump debuted 00:09:39.980 --> 00:09:47.820 in theaters. Holy crap, I feel old. Wow. Do you 00:09:47.820 --> 00:09:49.440 remember seeing it when it first came out? Do 00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:50.539 you remember when parents wouldn't let you watch 00:09:50.539 --> 00:09:52.600 the parts where Jenny was naked? You remember? 00:09:53.230 --> 00:09:55.070 Do you remember? Pepperidge Farms remembers. 00:09:57.769 --> 00:10:02.070 Anyway. That's what's going on in the world. 00:10:07.029 --> 00:10:08.889 Here's what's happening in your neck of the woods. 00:10:08.990 --> 00:10:10.629 If I had a syndicated TV show, that would be 00:10:10.629 --> 00:10:15.690 when the weather showed up. I was telling my 00:10:15.690 --> 00:10:17.490 mother that I'm online and I'll have to call 00:10:17.490 --> 00:10:19.830 her back. She would know this if she followed 00:10:19.830 --> 00:10:23.519 me. But she don't. Hello, son, the other way 00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:26.399 down in Milton, Florida. Good to see you. Carla 00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:28.080 on the Two Cities soundtrack and played it on 00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:30.860 repeat for six months. Me too, girl, me too. 00:10:31.179 --> 00:10:33.559 I cannot hear Fortunate Son without hearing a 00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:39.519 helicopter. I can't. Can't. Here's a little porch 00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:41.779 wisdom I'm trying to incorporate into every cigarette 00:10:41.779 --> 00:10:43.340 mom since people have been asking me for it. 00:10:43.460 --> 00:10:45.139 There is power on the porch. I have made real 00:10:45.139 --> 00:10:48.480 -life friends because of it. Maybe you have too. 00:10:50.409 --> 00:10:52.210 The little thought I had over sweet tea this 00:10:52.210 --> 00:10:53.750 morning was you don't have to figure out your 00:10:53.750 --> 00:10:57.429 whole life today. You just have to do today's 00:10:57.429 --> 00:11:00.549 chores. Tomorrow has a whole different side of 00:11:00.549 --> 00:11:04.269 trouble itself. That's biblical. Just worry about 00:11:04.269 --> 00:11:10.870 today. Tends to be a farmer's rule that a fence 00:11:10.870 --> 00:11:12.669 doesn't have to be beautiful to keep the cows 00:11:12.669 --> 00:11:14.710 in. Your routines don't have to be perfect to 00:11:14.710 --> 00:11:22.039 keep your life together. Get it started. A little 00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:24.259 chicken lesson this afternoon. The loudest hen 00:11:24.259 --> 00:11:26.980 rarely laid the biggest egg. The people making 00:11:26.980 --> 00:11:28.360 the most noise usually aren't doing the most 00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:35.480 work. Cigarette mom says everybody wants a testimony 00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:37.580 until it's time to go through the test. Don't 00:11:37.580 --> 00:11:39.299 ask God for a harvest if you ain't ready to pull 00:11:39.299 --> 00:11:45.240 the weeds. Just a little food for thought. A 00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:46.960 feral Christian thought for you this evening. 00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:49.620 God rarely hands us a map. He usually hands us 00:11:49.620 --> 00:11:52.200 enough light for the next step. Your word is 00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:54.399 a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. One 00:11:54.399 --> 00:11:59.259 step at a time, not 20. A little garden wisdom 00:11:59.259 --> 00:12:01.080 this evening. Roots tend to grow in the dark. 00:12:01.139 --> 00:12:03.440 Nobody applauds roots. Everybody applauds flowers. 00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:05.960 So don't confuse being unseen with being unproductive. 00:12:07.019 --> 00:12:08.779 You don't dig up a seed every day just to see 00:12:08.779 --> 00:12:11.539 if it's growing, do you? Don't do that. It won't 00:12:11.539 --> 00:12:16.419 grow. A little money wisdom for this Monday evening. 00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:19.179 If you can't afford it twice, sleep on it once. 00:12:22.700 --> 00:12:25.940 Something to keep in mind. Marriage wisdom that 00:12:25.940 --> 00:12:27.759 I have learned this week. Winning the argument 00:12:27.759 --> 00:12:30.679 usually costs more than losing it. Choose peace 00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:38.100 when you can. Choose truth when you must. Something 00:12:38.100 --> 00:12:40.600 from the stage this evening. People don't remember 00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:43.659 perfect. They remember honest. And if I'm not 00:12:43.659 --> 00:12:45.279 a living testament to that, I will kiss your 00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:49.700 ass and call you Shirley. In Appalachian Proverbs 00:12:49.700 --> 00:12:51.519 this evening, never trust a porch without rocking 00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:53.919 chairs. Never trust advice from somebody that's 00:12:53.919 --> 00:12:58.340 never had dirt under their fingernails. One year 00:12:58.340 --> 00:13:00.039 from now, you'll wish you had started today. 00:13:00.139 --> 00:13:04.179 Trust me on that. It's a good thing I did. At 00:13:04.179 --> 00:13:05.720 the end of the day, the mountain doesn't care 00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:08.100 how... Sarah Beth, I wrote it down and I can't 00:13:08.100 --> 00:13:10.100 even say it. The mountain don't care how fast 00:13:10.100 --> 00:13:12.779 you climb it. It just notices that you kept climbing. 00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:18.299 So, keep that in mind when you're getting discouraged 00:13:18.299 --> 00:13:20.299 and wanting to go back to base camp. One step 00:13:20.299 --> 00:13:26.049 at a time. I'm trying to incorporate a little 00:13:26.049 --> 00:13:29.289 more sage and philosophical wisdom in here and 00:13:29.289 --> 00:13:30.950 just be like, here's your little fortune cookie 00:13:30.950 --> 00:13:33.870 and some proverbs and a thought to think about. 00:13:36.950 --> 00:13:40.049 Trying a new thing here on the porch. We're doing 00:13:40.049 --> 00:13:45.690 a little porch redecorating, if you will. Figures 00:13:45.690 --> 00:13:47.129 it's not going to do me no good to go to the 00:13:47.129 --> 00:13:53.070 tanning bed and burn my ass. I know. and work 00:13:53.070 --> 00:13:56.110 out and eat right and try to get a little healthier 00:13:56.110 --> 00:14:00.529 for the path that I've been called on if I ain't 00:14:00.529 --> 00:14:02.470 willing to do it everywhere else. So I'm reading 00:14:02.470 --> 00:14:04.049 the Bible a little more. I'm thinking a little 00:14:04.049 --> 00:14:05.730 more. I'm writing a little more. I spend a little 00:14:05.730 --> 00:14:07.830 more time in my garden. I spend a little more 00:14:07.830 --> 00:14:10.529 time working on these podcasts that we all sit 00:14:10.529 --> 00:14:12.009 together and visit. They used to be kind of spur 00:14:12.009 --> 00:14:13.649 of the moment. Now I actually write down thoughts. 00:14:13.870 --> 00:14:16.289 I know. Who would have thought? I'm growing up. 00:14:18.019 --> 00:14:20.059 If you notice a change in the several coming 00:14:20.059 --> 00:14:22.279 months of things that are different on the porch 00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:23.960 and different on the clips, that's for a reason. 00:14:24.019 --> 00:14:25.580 You can't see the testimony without the test, 00:14:25.639 --> 00:14:26.879 and I feel like we're fixing to go through it. 00:14:26.940 --> 00:14:29.320 So I'm glad you're here for it. I'm growing. 00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:35.240 Watch me go. Bill's late. Well, you're in charge 00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:38.960 of taking out the trash. So you volunteered. 00:14:41.089 --> 00:14:42.929 I'm so tickled that you joined us this evening. 00:14:42.990 --> 00:14:44.909 It's not a very long cigarette, Mom, but it was 00:14:44.909 --> 00:14:46.490 a cigarette, Mom, and I'm glad I got to see you, 00:14:46.509 --> 00:14:47.990 give you a little bit of news and advice for 00:14:47.990 --> 00:14:50.330 the evening. I ask you if you're the praying 00:14:50.330 --> 00:14:52.509 kind to send a few up for me. I'm feeling a little 00:14:52.509 --> 00:14:54.230 sick to my stomach this week, and I think that's 00:14:54.230 --> 00:14:56.070 just because of the weather and because I'm going 00:14:56.070 --> 00:14:59.970 into perimenopause pretty strongly. And that's 00:14:59.970 --> 00:15:01.750 always a good time to start a new change of life 00:15:01.750 --> 00:15:04.470 and scenery and diet. You know, I don't know 00:15:04.470 --> 00:15:06.690 if it's me or if it's the protein bars. It could 00:15:06.690 --> 00:15:10.159 be both. I don't know. I'm 17. grams short of 00:15:10.159 --> 00:15:11.679 what i need to eat today so i'm thinking i might 00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:12.899 need to go in there and make me a chicken breath 00:15:12.899 --> 00:15:18.179 it's not a specific diet it's just i eat like 00:15:18.179 --> 00:15:20.360 because i'm on the road all the time so i'm like 00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:22.799 if i make myself start eating better while i'm 00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:28.039 home maybe i'll pack a lunch cats don't get me 00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:29.799 started i laid up my kiddie pool naked for two 00:15:29.799 --> 00:15:31.779 days over the heat wave this weekend i feel sorry 00:15:31.779 --> 00:15:33.539 for the drones and the paragliders that went 00:15:33.539 --> 00:15:35.679 over top because i just waved i don't care if 00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:37.600 you care enough to look at me then enjoy what 00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:39.820 you see I don't care. But I did get a little 00:15:39.820 --> 00:15:42.279 burn on me, so I went to the tan bed to even 00:15:42.279 --> 00:15:47.019 out my rear end. If you are new to the porch, 00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:48.360 we welcome you. We'll teach you the handshake 00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:49.720 later. If you're a repeat offender, we welcome 00:15:49.720 --> 00:15:51.940 you back. If you see somebody from the same state, 00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:53.559 same area that you're from, send them a friend 00:15:53.559 --> 00:15:55.679 request. Meet for coffee. Start your own porch. 00:15:56.080 --> 00:15:58.860 There is power on the porch. I have met the best 00:15:58.860 --> 00:16:00.480 people in the past six months because of this 00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:02.500 porch. And we actually meet in real life, and 00:16:02.500 --> 00:16:04.120 we go junk, and we hang out for Fourth of July, 00:16:04.259 --> 00:16:06.940 and we drink L8s on the porch, and we go over 00:16:06.940 --> 00:16:08.360 the Bible studies together. I'm telling you. 00:16:08.580 --> 00:16:10.059 And if you want to see me live and in person, 00:16:10.100 --> 00:16:11.720 you can go on SarahBethTerry .com and look at 00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:13.059 the tickets. I have a lot of things coming up 00:16:13.059 --> 00:16:15.559 starting July the 17th. We're busy about every 00:16:15.559 --> 00:16:18.080 single weekend until September. So there's no 00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:19.740 reason why you can't come and hang out with us. 00:16:19.799 --> 00:16:21.179 And if we're not in the nick of the woods near 00:16:21.179 --> 00:16:23.299 you, then call us or hit that Book Me Now thing 00:16:23.299 --> 00:16:25.320 on my website, and we'll come to wherever you 00:16:25.320 --> 00:16:28.330 are. We'll teach you the handshake, Carla. It's 00:16:28.330 --> 00:16:31.210 very complicated. There's a dance and there's 00:16:31.210 --> 00:16:36.649 a song and cheer. That's a good idea, Bill. I'm 00:16:36.649 --> 00:16:38.129 going to go in there and hard boil me about a 00:16:38.129 --> 00:16:39.809 dozen eggs this evening to keep in there for 00:16:39.809 --> 00:16:43.080 a quick snack if my protein gets low. I just 00:16:43.080 --> 00:16:44.539 love getting to visit with y 'all. Thank you 00:16:44.539 --> 00:16:46.519 all for subscribing to the podcast. Thank you 00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:48.379 all for listening on the RSS channels and the 00:16:48.379 --> 00:16:50.220 podcast channels. We are on there now, Cigarette 00:16:50.220 --> 00:16:52.059 Mom and the Feral Christian. Thanks for getting 00:16:52.059 --> 00:16:54.059 on YouTube and watching those channels and Instagram 00:16:54.059 --> 00:16:56.159 and TikTok and wherever else you can find me. 00:16:56.179 --> 00:16:58.220 I don't even know, iTunes, Spotify, Google Play, 00:16:58.299 --> 00:17:01.059 Amazon. I'm everywhere. I'm everywhere. And I 00:17:01.059 --> 00:17:03.899 appreciate it very, very much. And we do have 00:17:03.899 --> 00:17:05.859 the Feral Christian page up now. So if you're 00:17:05.859 --> 00:17:08.000 just looking for a little bit of wisdom on your 00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:11.099 day and a little message from... the Lord, then 00:17:11.099 --> 00:17:13.059 it's right there. So it's all in one place at 00:17:13.059 --> 00:17:17.440 one time. So I'm excited about it. I'm doing 00:17:17.440 --> 00:17:19.400 the best I can with what God gave me, and I'm 00:17:19.400 --> 00:17:21.079 just taking it day at a time. We'll see what 00:17:21.079 --> 00:17:23.319 happens tomorrow. In the meantime, keep your 00:17:23.319 --> 00:17:24.660 Bibles up and your powder dry and your head in 00:17:24.660 --> 00:17:25.940 a swivel because people are acting crazy this 00:17:25.940 --> 00:17:27.480 day and age. Be nice to old people, animals, 00:17:27.539 --> 00:17:29.000 and children. Make sure they have water and shade. 00:17:29.099 --> 00:17:31.299 It is awful hot outside. Try to love your neighbor, 00:17:31.339 --> 00:17:33.759 and if you can't, try to give to God. He told 00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:34.920 you to love your neighbor. He didn't say nothing 00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:37.049 about liking them, right? He loves you and I 00:17:37.049 --> 00:17:38.309 do too, friends, and there's nothing that you 00:17:38.309 --> 00:17:39.730 can do about it. Until we see each other again, 00:17:39.849 --> 00:17:42.470 remember, I'm Sarah Beth Terry, and you're not.
