Good guess, but didn't work. I tried something strange.... It's called GTS. Google that sh.... uh.. stuff... I went to Settings > apps > Messages > Storage and Cleared Cache and Cleared Data.
Back to normal ... for a while.. LOL...
However, I do thank you for the help and the ideas. had me worried there for a minute. I've ever had any issues with this phone since I got it. Again, thank you.
