And so there were a group of guys he regularly had lunch with, and they were encouraging, like, you can do this, Gary.

And he goes, I'm going to try to get back to where they go.

That's great.

You keep going, buddy.

You know, so they all were trying to cheerlead.

And unfortunately, they were cheerleading him down what I thought was a dead end that was going to end very, very badly.

So, you know, there's the old phrase, the road to hell is paved with good intention.

There's a lot of good intention surrounding him, but frankly, I think it was going a terrible place.

Well, keep in mind, I met Gary at church, which means, you know, he was a person of faith, and that was a big part of the story.

And so it wasn't just what's the lesson that my body's trying to teach me, but what is God trying to tell me?

He says, because I'm pretty sure this must be a lesson God is giving me, that if I can persevere through and learn the lesson, then I get to get out of jail.

You know, and I didn't think that was likely to happen because despite the fact that I too happen to believe in God, God doesn't fix every problem.

God doesn't instruct himself and miraculously fix everything.

That's a whole different understanding.

And it's nice to think that's what's coming your way, but you're not in charge of that.

You may not be the miracle child.

And so I asked him point blank, no, Gary, why is it you believe this?

And he said, well, what else could it possibly be?

There's got to be a reason for this.

I said, well, let's look at what the other reasons might be.
