So I kept reading and I went to Isaiah and the fiery furnace of affliction and how... Adversity in hard times is God's way of testing us. It can make us stronger and better. We learned through those hard lessons the fiery, you know, through the fire of hard times. And, of course, then eventually the Gospels. And the best story of all, in my mind, as a Christian, is the story of Jesus.

And there he is in the Garden of Gethsemane, and he's saying to God, because he's so afraid, because he knows what's coming, what they're going to do to him. And he says, oh, Father, please lift this cup from me. I mean, I get choked up just thinking about this. And he says, but no, God, no, Father, not my will, your will.

And then he steals himself for what he's got to face, takes on all the suffering that he goes through and the humiliation, everything else. So I read it every day for 2,896 days. And I know it in a way I never knew it before. And I love it. And it brought me so much closer to God.

And there were moments, as crazy as this sounds, and I'm not running for anything, so I'm not here to try to win Christian evangelical votes or anything. But there were moments years into the process, not those first early years because they were so hard. But after I was there for year six, year seven, and I'd read the Bible like that every day,

And I was really working out and I was reading a lot of other books. And I'd get visits maybe a couple of times. In the beginning, it was like two or three times a year in the beginning. And then as time went by, it was hard for our daughters. And I would encourage them not to come because they were in school. And we were hopeful that we'd get justice in the courts.

And only another few more months, the appellate court will come through. Don't come. So now suddenly I'm seeing less and less of them. But I'd have moments, and I was lucky because I was in Colorado, which is a beautiful place with great weather and blue skies and snow-capped foothills of the Rockies. That's where the prison was. And then when it would rain, there'd be rainbows.

I believe these are godly things, and I'd sometimes get done with a run or something, and I'd walk that track, stretch it a little bit, and I'd see that beautiful rainbow, and I could almost feel the presence of God. I know it sounds like bullshit for people who don't know that, But when you've been beaten down so much and you're so fucking alone, I looked for God and I really believe I found him.
