Hello, ladies and gentlemen, thank you for tuning into the broadcast today.

What you're about ready to see, I'm known for all over the world.

We're going to bring you some excerpts of A Merry Heart Doeth Good, Like a Medicine.

Are you ready to laugh? Today's show is going

to lift your spirit and heal your soul. You know, I mean, laughter is a wonderful thing. It's such

a blessing of the law. These are all funny stories and some of you have heard it, but I've had people

say, I've heard this a hundred times, but I bust out laughing every time I hear it. So call a friend, tell them to turn that television on.

You're going to see me all different color, color, hair, gray, white. You're going to enjoy this.

So let's go into part one of a merry heart, doeth good lack of medicine. And guess what? You're about ready to get healed. You're going to laugh out that sickness and receive the power of God.

Watch this now.

I'll never forget that as long as I live.

I was about five and a half years old.

And we lived down a place called Sheffield Lane,

the man that owned Sheffield's Cafe up at the front.

We always lived back in the back, right by the Mississippi River by the levee.

And he had a big complex, I don't call it a big complex, but you know, some little renthouses

and things.

And me and my brother would play.

We had a friend that we really enjoyed playing with, and they had another kid that lived

in the neighborhood, and only lived actually about, well, maybe two lots over from us.

This kid was an abused child because his father was an alcoholic and his mom was an alcoholic. This boy, at six years old, would smoke cigars.

And that would freak me out.
