[QUOTE="ajblakejr, post: 807493, member: 18807"] Morgan Freeman did this video, gratis, because he said it mattered. His commentary is just that, his words, not scripted. The words in red hit me the hard. Morgan also finishes the video with power words... Take a chance...play the song a wiseman sitting on a porch will speak to you....
