[Music]

God why did you do this why'd you make

this happen why don't you answer me I

just don't see does God ever any survive

does he hear our praise does God ever

answer why

I've never seen it with my own eyes so

they see his that's enough

his ways and other ways God why God why

his thoughts unknown elephants his ways

are not our ways

my god

[Music]

what's wrong with my plan don't wanna go

my way why don't you let me I just don't

see does God ever any sure why

does he hear our cry son son are you

okay

it's kind of cold out here you want to

go in sorry you okay

and when you throw in the towel you

wanna go back in

sunny what do you want to do here we go

in the eighth round Bobby and it's just

as we predicted the champ is showing

signs of his age and Chewie controla

simply is in better shape none

you're sure right we set it in the first

round when he came out the champ is just

not in his usual fighting shape

ring rest just doesn't cover he's

showing signs of his age and he hasn't

fought in two years no except with that

well he's made an awful lot of money Don

but tonight it's almost as if he's just

showing up to collect his paycheck one

last fight show up I'm not even sure

he's showing up yet the only chance the

champ had to win this one was to win

early here we are in the eighth Don I

think you can safely say that ship has

sailed

Sonny sure is a ship alright the Titanic

and he's headed straight for an iceberg

namely Chewie controlling the champ

looks out on his feet that was plain

pathetic and Cholas slowing a bit too I

don't think he's landed one punch this

round all the more reason it's looking

bad for the champ

Chewie can simply stay away in Khost his

way to victory

Chuy's way ahead on points it really

doesn't matter that he hasn't hit the

champ of this round it's a good thing

you added that this round because the

first seven rounds have taken their toll

you see what I'm saying controla is

slowing down even more he's not even

throwing any punches now he's just

dancing what would you call that Bobby

the merengue I have no idea distant or

maybe the chicken dance whatever it is

he continues to hurl insults at the

champ

landing words won't knock out Sonny boom

though remember that

champs might have a chance he's able to

land that big right hand that he's

famous for now control us taunting the

champ

he's not throwing a punch and he's

daring him to hit it there it is Bobby

that's classic Sonny boon and that's

that right end that you were just

talking about this party is over

now that was vicious all right but now

patola is not moving get a doctor in

there yes you're right I think he may

have gone too far I have no idea why you

kept beating him

referee bill Matson was in there trying

to stop the fight Sonny just kept it up

that was brutal it looks like we better

get up in the ring for a closer look

I don't know Remo I just don't know I

mean you don't know you're the one that

told me to keep hitting him I didn't

tell you to kill the guy I think he's

dead I didn't say that it's just

what skip your shower get dressed we got

to get you out of here

- Tom yeah I was on top of the world I

had everything I could have been a

multimillionaire but God would let that

happen

God how do you get into this yeah God

but there is such a thing I know we let

the devil in the ring with me that night

you talk about chewy control you think

that young man was sent by the devil the

devil God what's the difference

hold on you want to hear my story or not

I'm sorry go ahead

[Music]

well maybe it was God then why did he

let that happen

everything was going fine I knew I was

losing I haven't found a retire on that

purse they were gonna pay me but then he

had to talk me she takes his chin out

there like that

so I hit him I kept hitting him that

should be net time and you think God did

this to you I'm going to church a few

times I've been fretting little look

something to you you don't think being

dead is worse than what happened to you

no Hector sent a better place you know

what they say let me stop you right

place but you think God abandon you

you think God planned all this to harm

you in everything you know what I know

there is no God we're all just flailing

around here this universe happy

circumstances for some it curses for

others I just used God so you could get

the picture the picture the big picture

[Music]

Hector went out like a hero his family

got rich I'm the villain here his family

got his purse probably got mine I know I

did it so it's about the money yes yes

it is and then how we measure ourselves

you mean isn't that the way the world

tells you to measure yourself God isn't

concerned about your money that's the

first right thing you've said all night

look money is what it takes to make it

this book in this world yes God is

concerned about your eternity and that

is not of this world the enemy uses

things of this world to distract you

Hector's chance to get out there

distracted me excuse

what's her story mrs. Stewart the

company she worked for for 20 years

downsized and eliminated a job no guys

you think her losing her job is God's

fault too

did she get fired because she was doing

a lousy job probably not it's probably

got fired for no good reason and and

that's a good thing

brilliant lot has changed in the last

five years

her agent can't be good half of all

millionaires in this country start their

businesses after the age of 60 what if

that was God's plan for her life oh

brother what a stretch you think would

have been more productive for her to go

around with no hope and do what lay down

and die there is no God and there is no

hope

well into her stories that she started

her own company and it was making

millions you said was she had to give it

up that's what I prayed what about no

you want something else no I think I'm

done I'm fine

hey before you go why don't you tell me

about you why you think there's no God

you never did get to that last night you

won't hear about me you said you read

champ twice that last fight were to set

me up for the rest of my life I had a

big house lots of friends great

girlfriend fast car I had everything

[Music]

like I said I I had all that stuff and

now I don't that's pretty much the end

of the story

that's not much of a story and this show

doesn't show what God had anything to do

with it look I worked hard my whole life

to get to where it was I trained for

hours and hours every day I traveled all

over I lived in dives I took whatever

fight I could and then I made it I was

champion of the world twice I was

somebody

then then God took it all away God yeah

God isn't he the giver of life taker of

life doesn't he control everything he

gives us free will he that Hector died

he let them stripped me of my title and

everything that I had God kept hitting

Hector control no I hit him

but God let him die anything wouldn't

have let that happen

it wouldn't have lost everything

everything you you're forgetting about

Hector's femme I already told you about

there's my ex-husband he was a big fan

of yours yeah he's been following you

ever since you won your first

championship that was ten years ago lady

lots happened since then yeah meet you

so what's wrong you're not allowed in

the front door you know I know the night

manager Molokai yeah you know him yeah

kind of well I never came here for the

chili if you know what I mean

I came for the nourishment you got me

lady

and I don't know to me well Malachi was

the only thing that kept me from cashing

in about eight years ago

what happened eight years ago well my

world fell apart I mean literally

everything that I had known in the first

30 years of my life was gone yeah tell

me about it well okay no I was I was

nineteen years old married to what I

thought was a wonderful man the man that

God had chosen for me he was a pastor

and he was just starting out as ministry

another God story you don't believe in

the promises of God I can't get my me

little Malachi gets here so in the one

well how do you know he's not here I

mean just because you don't see him yeah

I believe what my eyes told me if he was

here his apron would be done it wouldn't

be over there on that post so he's not

here you know it's a nice night you can

wait out here if you want

[Music]

quiet your hand

quiet your feet be still

[Music]

be still well as I was saying everything

was going along great the church was

really rowing it was becoming a very

popular pastor started to travel a lot

when he traveled it was up to me to

oversee the church he hired most of the

staff but I was the one that was in

charge when he was away I basically just

made sure that the church ran smoothly

in his absence sounds great

well we continue to grow we were able to

build a big new sanctuary complex on I

had a gorgeous new house two fabulous

cars hey are you okay yeah I was just

thinking you're describing my life to a

tee do you have kids huh well no I mean

all but that I was engaged and we were

about to get married when the when no

go ahead I want to hear your story as I

was saying we had the idea like life you

know it was a fairy tale really God was

good to us if God was so good what's the

point of the story I know you're gonna

start telling me some bad stuff happen

any minute you're gonna prove my point

no God was good to me when I didn't know

it God was good to me but I didn't think

and and God was good to me when I was

mad at him so you admit you are mad at

God no not our was but that's okay

because I got over it and what I did he

was right there waiting for me well you

don't see Malachi do you know you know

like I said we had everything at the

house the cars the jobs children

we had it all so what happened your

husband get killed you know

it was worse worse than getting killed

what's worse than dying

he came home one night after one of his

mission trips big stack of legal papers

in his hands basically told me he didn't

want to be married to me anymore I had

to get out of the house

I had to leave my home that very night

and I didn't see my children for a month

so yeah it was worse

I thought the female always gets the

breaks in the divorces he was a very

powerful man by then with very powerful

friends it was if he had planned the

previous two years for that very night

what do you mean everything and I mean

everything was in the name of the church

the house the cars the bank accounts I

was literally put out on the streets

oh and that salary that I thought I was

getting also tied them right back up

into the church I was in total despair

you're not gonna tell me that pretty

lady why do you ended up on the street I

came very close to living on the streets

you know those friends that I thought I

had well they were friends that we had

and when there was a no more we there

were no more friends I basically didn't

exist without him you know I didn't have

my own identity

every single thing in my life

up into that very point revolved around

that man

let me put it to you this way I know how

he liked his eggs fixed because I fixed

them

but I didn't know how I liked mine wait

eggs I don't get but what do you mean I

stumbled into this very diner on the

night that I was maddest at God I mean I

just knew he didn't exist the Malakai

got me

he sat me down and he asked me how I

liked my eggs

what you telling me that he convinced

you that there's a God of course not he

couldn't do that but what he did do was

show me that all those why questions

that I wanted answers to couldn't be

answered at least not by God you know I

had wasted two years of my life during

the divorce proceedings asking why so I

asked Malachi for help instead I asked

Malachi for the answers

you know what he told me real clue

he said Cindy it just takes time time

well at least now I had someone else to

be mad at in addition to God because

that that was not the answer that I

wanted to hear I was so mad at Malachi

for that why did you keep coming back

because he is the only one we put a roof

over my head when I literally had no

place else to go

yeah you didn't stay at the church the

way up yes that's why I stopped to check

on you make sure you were okay and you

know what Malachi was right all it did

was just take time

I wasted two years of my life asking why

and then one morning the Sun came up I

know it had been there all along but I

just didn't see it

but when I did I saw the light in there

he wants

he

you mean god yes

and I realized he had been with me all

along he had never left my side how can

you say that how can you say he's been

with you the entire time when he let all

that bad stuff happen to you well the

rain falls on the just and the unjust oh

that's a Bible cliche it still doesn't

answer the question why he let all that

stuff happened to me I mean you God did

not let all that stuff happen to me God

did not make me marry that man God did

not make him forsake his wedding vows

and God did not make me stupidly allow

every single thing that I owned we put

in the church's name

that was my own freewill unfortunately

you will

[Music]

and you know what I realized God was

with me during the good times too you

know and in the early years there were a

lot of good times now God was with me

during the birth of my two beautiful

children

and God has definitely been with me

during these past eight years I have my

kids with me full-time

and I have a ton of friends true friends

and I have the hope of an eternal life

that is better than anything I have had

or have now and that sunny that is what

is important I stopped blaming him and I

started thanking him I have an unending

list of things to be grateful for

[Music]

[Applause]

sunny booth

I am grateful for you sunny man for you

have confirmed yet again that God is

still at work so he sold all those books

to huh no he gave me this one well he

gave me the first one this is the third

book I've gotten and you can see it's

almost full he gave you one too huh yeah

well yeah well trust me on this

here's it and if you don't have it with

you write it down on an app and you'll

see you can fill the pages of that book

but you will never run out of things I

don't know being grateful for all that I

have is the biggest step in getting me

away from what I didn't have

I had a lot and probably more than you

and now I've got something you'll see

let all those things you think you lost

well there weren't things that you

needed anyway

[Music]

tomorrow let's get someone to eat

I'm sure Malachi is buying I already ate

with my family I'm not going in

but I just wanted to give you a ride to

take care

[Music]

wait a second

how do you like I mean your eggs my eggs

scrambled of course

[Music]

you seem to know everybody's story what

what's that guy's story Billy he was a

regular for a while hasn't been at much

lately I think he's been too busy does

he pay you worry about that a lot

learning yeah so Mike's world around

hey listen Racing do you get paid here

okay but wait but my point is you're

doing this for the money right he's he's

doing this for the money

Paula not both give what we need we have

enough enough is all anyone needs but my

point is you're both you're working for

the money and that's what was taken from

me don't you get that was it do you

think this is all there is do you think

here where you are now is the end of

your story I can't see a way out I can't

go anywhere I can't I can't get I can

get a job I'm cursed but you didn't

answer is this the end of your story let

me put it another way do you think

you've been going through something

these last six months or is this way

you're gonna be for the rest of your

days here on earth I know I'm going

through something it doesn't mean it's

gonna get any better but they are going

to change by the mere fact that you're

going through yes true that's a pretty

powerful word now I know you don't think

he's real but hear me out how many times

does God say that he will leave you in a

place I don't know attendant I don't

care not

god never says he'll leave you in a

situation so how many times is God say

that he will see you through a situation

same answer I don't know and I don't

care

always God always promises deceived

through a situation

never leave you they sure love me when

you are kid did you ever see a a crack

in the concrete and see ants building an

anthill what an anthill coming up to the

concrete yeah then you walk by and you

swipe it away with your foot yeah I'm

sure everybody's gonna so looking at it

from an answer you you could probably

compare that to uh to a tornado or

hurricane what we call a disaster

hundreds of dead for no reason

okay what's that got to do with it man

I'm getting there then you come back

later on that day and lo and behold

there's another anthill in the same

place they're ants that's what they do

so you admit just because all of their

hard work gets kicked aside the ants one

of the smallest creatures God ever made

don't just quit

like I said it's what they do and you

mean what you allowed to just quit what

makes you think this is the end of the

Sonny Boone story don't you have some

other customers to bother somewhere I

guess you're right excuse me

would you mind talking to Billy for a

minute I think you could help them me

sure

just listen I saw some people need

someone to listen Billy this is Remo

Remo

this is Billy crew hey glad to meet you

hey sit down can you sew Remo what do

you do I kind of unemployed at the

moment it sounds like me well except for

the blind part you're not blind are you

no I'm fine I mean no I know what you

mean I'm fine too you know I used to not

be fine that is I wasn't for the grace

of God I I'd still be in a mess boy you

don't you know top that huh I got time

have you heard of me like read about me

in the papers or on the internet no no I

haven't should I have up until five

years ago I had my future all a line

down she was gonna be a big star in the

NFL I was gonna be no more picking the

pro football draft I was on track to win

the Heisman that year you know we had

every NFL team fighting over me

seriously I sorry I wasn't blind then if

that's what you're thinking oh yeah

that'd be pretty good chick though

wouldn't ya

but what really happened oh I had

nothing to do with football if that's

what you're asking

so I played football since I was eight

and you know the worst thing you ever

happened was just a sprained ankle in

Pop Warner pretty lucky I guess oh look

No

see I was blessed with a gift we all

have gifts so what went wrong

oh it was stupid I was out with the guys

when night after practice and uh-oh we

got a car wreck huh yeah drunk driver

yeah topped a hill and hit his head on

that guy ended up walking away from the

crash but uh - my buddies were killed

and well I was the lucky one

you know God spared me mr. Boone all

right are you are you still there yeah

I'm I'm here I can't see how you can

call yourself lucky

well I'm still here

I'm confused I don't understand how you

can give God credit at all I mean if

he's so high and mighty and powerful why

would he why do you let your two friends

die and you go blind yeah it's really

hard for me to believe this all-powerful

loving being you guys call God and let

all that happen and then on top of it

let the guy who caused it walk away

scot-free

all I said I'm still here look it it

showed me that God wasn't dude with me

yet I don't mean to be insensitive but

that's just not God and and it's no

blessing to be blind he can't be all

that powerful I mean oh wait look God

didn't make that jogger get drunk that

was his own free will look the truth is

we can't know all the reasons why I got

less bad things happen I mean if he does

it's just a sinful world that we live in

but God didn't plan to have sin in this

world man chose it and it's also very

arrogant of us to reduce God to the

thoughts of a man and when we do that

when we ask him why

but you didn't do anything wrong me

personally probably not but I do live in

this world and I'm bound by that see

look it's like my team right that could

be the best player to ever wear a

uniform but those other guys on the

field are the worst then I'd be bound by

that look nothing I do on my own can

change that besides the Word of God

promises that will have a trouble-free

life in fact in over instances he tells

us will suffer hardships like it's just

us that think those hardships belong to

others it's still not fair

you know I'm sorry for hurting your

feelings but I can't I can't see where

God has been in any of this good or bad

oh it's good for sure look he promises

us today I mean you wouldn't want to

live in a world where you had my choice

right of course not

look so when God gave us the ability to

choose those choices have consequences

both good and bad sometimes the results

of those choices cause collateral damage

collateral damage

yeah okay I didn't choose for that

driver to get drunk that night yeah I

did choose to go out with my buddies I I

could have stayed home but I didn't my

friends couldn't stay home but they did

look those are all choices all the

consequences within some collateral

damage but the cause of all I mean the

drunk guy and he had no consequence

there's no collateral damage he walks

away and no damage he's still in prison

I mean he had a successful law practice

in a nice family I mean he lost all that

I mean I still get phone calls from him

almost every week telling me how sorry

is for what happened and even when he's

out of that prison still won't be free

cuz he put himself in a lifelong prison

ceii

yeah not the labor the point you got to

say something you made me think I

butchered there anything in that [ __ ] oh

I'm sorry man I I was uh writing

something down before for God let's put

in your book hey mom sorry yes to put in

the book I wrote Malachi's getting a cut

of all these books he's bad yeah I'm

sure he does

okay I gotta go it was very nice talking

to you nice talking to you too

[Music]

anyhow I don't know or maybe it he gave

me some things to think about that I

seriously doubt I helped him oh I'm sure

you did I don't understand why he's so

darn happy

I mean his situation is almost identical

to mine you're going blind you know what

I mean

he was on top of his game and he lost

everything I was on top and I lost

everything

and I just don't see what good God has

been in all that good really know who

you were you mean that I was chamfered

all that that stuff happened yes

no he didn't seem to so I guess that

stuff must not define who you are

anymore than his blindness defines who

he is but what does he do now

I mean what's he got to look forward to

you mean besides a bunch more Grammys

and Academy Awards no no that guy no he

said he was unemployed

well yes at the moment he's in between

gigs but things change but that's what

he's been doing since the accident while

he was recovering in a hospital he began

to hear music and started writing it

down his first time out he wrote the

soundtrack for the long ride and won a

grammy is the hottest composer round

Bobby maybe oughta read more than a

sports page and watch more than ESPN

what's that some shirts and pants for

you I can't

I guess that decides it'd be easier to

carry that book with you you know I

can't pay you for these so I was

thinking I could do some work around the

diner no we're handling it but you see

if I could just get started are you on

in that book chapter to read chapter

three about self forgiveness

that'll be pay enough

[Music]

[Music]

sure I'm always here

[Music]

say would you mind making sure that back

door shuts tight it's been sticking

[Music]

[Music]

let's go with you you're like going in

there are you

yeah I still there lucky you oh wait

what's going on then

that guy up there is jerky play me

master Gary yeah no man you're mistaken

I was just trying to get out of the

night air okay I wasn't bothering

anything or anybody

come over come sit over crimson telling

me you're cold come on sit

[Music]

it's cold Oh further Don it's alright

good I'm seriously dude trail Thanks

so I was just around back

mine and my own business trying to get

some sleep I mean you couldn't even see

me from the street yeah that pastor guy

wasn't he Gary Gary he comes out he

shakes me awake says hey why don't you

move aside move aside

yeah that's something like that yeah

move inside it could have been maybe

nobody didn't have to bother me in the

first place she was offering you a place

to sleep that's kind of what he does

he's just like all this other god stuff

none of its real brother you preaching

to the choir but I got to tell you

Pastor Gary is different man he's a

pretty stand-up guy

it lets me stay this very room he

doesn't really talk to me kind of says

how I had no preaching we're kind of

grateful to know him you sorry bastard

thing alright with your friend here do

you mind if what's your name here well

Pietro Pescatore

but you can call me here do you mind if

Peter bugs inside tonight of course not

okay okay fine maybe it was inside why

are you sleeping in a doorway anyway

why are you here and what did you do

before tonight well I was a cop seven

years on the force they decided to let

me go undercover try to bust this drug

gang so in order to do that no I have to

have to get in have to become one of

them right which I do they end up

getting punished for it

what didn't we punished all of those

guys were users as well as dealers right

so how do you think it would have played

out if I didn't use Matt of a big score

everything goes south that night I find

out that one of our guys in the

department is there inside guy he finds

out about me at the same time so he

shows up at the drop ready to bust me

everything goes crazy he ends up getting

killed in the crossfire hate to say it

but bad cop dead you know your problem

solved right now I just starts them see

nobody in the department knew that that

cop was dirty

so I end up getting charged with the

rest of those lowlifes but you're out

you're out here you're not in prison

yeah I beat the murder charge finally

and I even kicked the habit but it ended

up costing me everything all those years

on the job gone like they never happened

all of my friends both inside and out of

the department disappeared what little

money I had went to the lawyers so I I

just ended up lost abandoned you're

still here you're alive you didn't fall

in a heap and feel sorry for yourself

you picked yourself up you did something

about it you did what you had to do the

bad guys were in jail and you know bad

cops dad I mean at least he got all bad

hmm sounds real good too bad you didn't

take your own advice so right excuse me

[Music]

you are Sonny boon right

[Music]

I used to be

so

what are you doing

know me you know my story you know what

happened

and I know you got a bad rap come on

that bum didn't have to stick his chin

out what were you supposed to do huh his

name was Hector Hector control him he

was kicking the crap out of me sorry

didn't mean to offend still they didn't

have to take away your title no argument

there buddy

but I'm here now and I gotta make the

best of it

and so what you think God is the answer

poverty's I mean he's the one that that

caused all of this right and what you

just got to deal with it no I got to

live through it through it

sighs I don't know if you caused this

pretty sure I do huh

you kidding me right I mean come on you

were just doing your job

you were just doing what you were

trained to do but you were made to do it

just like me I know this is not what you

want to hear it may be the fault of the

world we live in I want you to think

about this if God is real he's not

liking some of the stuff we're doing

down here

like what do you remember when we used

to say the Lord's Prayer in school and

then somewhere along the line someone

got offended so he stopped yeah yeah I

remember that yeah we've taken God out

of our schools out of our homes out of

her government

we're so darn politically correct that

we're so worried about not offending

anybody but I can't help to think that

we're finding God

[Music]

I mean we don't think a thing about it

if we're offending God I can see why

he's not giving us his blessings

protection and all that but all we're

doing is asking him to leave us alone

[Music]

it sounds to me like you do think he's

real let's put it this way all right

I think about how I used to just just

like my trainer so much back in the day

but he was always there looking out for

me I didn't mean I mean he would you

drive me push me would make me hit them

the heavy bag for hours on end and when

everyone else had gone home made me run

mile after mile after mile and until I

was dead tired yeah but he was just my

testing you right

he was just preparing you yeah I know

that now but when I was aching from head

to toe

[Music]

but he

he somehow knew that I was gonna be

champion with me now if he would have

told me that and then asked me to do all

that stuff I don't love him for it

and probably done twice as much

yeah if he somehow woulda let me know

where I'd end up I'd have thought

different of him

[Music]

amen hi I was uh was beginning to think

you were off tonight

oh I never take a day off at first I

thought maybe you were already inside I

didn't see your your apron out back so I

just I went ahead didn't came on in nice

shirt

Thanks so how's it going you know about

the same I'm still homeless if no

friends in hiding you know basically

ruin bro no I can pay tonight that's

that's what you're saying

no how that happen like you don't know

then you and Pastor Gary get together

and work this whole thing out

I'm not sure I know what you mean I mean

I talked to Pastor Gary but not about

shoes at least not today really well I

found this under my door this evening

$11 give me a bill tonight did you put

that in your book oh I did I did right

here the chapter after giving right

there

[Music]

so you were wrong about what what you

said about how things were let's see you

were homeless

I see here you put that you were

grateful for a place to live so that's

how no friends one two three

[Music]

almost every page has a new friend that

you're grateful for in hiding you

realize how visible you are sitting here

if you could be all the way down the

block and see inside that's done at

night and what was the last thing you

said that you were ruined find a place

in that book where it says I'm not

ruined I dare you you haven't read the

last chapter yet okay well then how is

that gonna make me Unruh 'end well the

story in any book isn't done to the last

chapters read and God isn't done with

you either oh there was all stop

protesting you've got many things

written in that book in your own

handwriting that proves God's existence

your admission that sin exists proves

the reality of a God who overcomes even

the bad things I appreciate that I do I

can't see how he or anyone else can make

any of this useful

[Music]

hey hey I'm paying tonight I would like

what are you laughing at

would you like do you let me cook my own

food no didn't Paul be out of a job

[Music]

but uh just what was wrong with that

stuff

for starters none of it was cooked it

wasn't done no not even the coffee he

wasn't it wasn't done

[Music]

so what you're saying is what Paul

brought you will be something good when

he's done with it you're something else

you know that that's what I do

apparently so all right if if I say

there's a god are you telling me

something miraculous is gonna happen no

I can't know that then how are we gonna

make

me done that's pretty much up to you but

look at the past few days just think

about all the things that have happened

that you've acknowledged that you're

grateful for God has been with you the

whole time

you've simply been running from

you're just now slowing down enough to

see that there's gonna have to be some

mighty miracles to get me back to where

it was huh can you find that promise in

there anyway but you just said that I

said God wasn't done with you everything

that has happened to you was to get you

where you're supposed to be

and you got the quietest customers on

earth great she's here

I like for you to talk with the for a

few minutes I'm paying for my meal

within a song

hi this lady miss she has been praying

that you would come please come in mr.

Boone I am Sofia conch Ola Hector's wife

and this is our fun greggers control

Gregory time I'm so sorry about what

happened

craigory would you get us some lemonade

that thing about what happened every

night for the last six months can you

ever forgive me all of us including

Hector are Christians we know that all

things work together for our good and

that God is in control he is even in

control of this situation just so sorry

I have wished that I could but I could

trade places with Hector every day since

it happened mr. bell call me Sonny

please sure of course

Sonny God's plans are much bigger and

better than we could ever know you take

the first step on the staircase not

knowing but believing it will lead to

the top we are taking the steps God has

ordered to get to the top but can you

forgive me

Sonny we forgave you long long ago we

know this is all God's plan for the good

of our family

good yes because we are Christians we

know that doesn't mean we won't go

through hard times it does mean that

Jesus will be there to help us through

and he has been we have so much to be

grateful for which is a grateful have

you forgiven yourself no one can truly

change until he has stopped thinking

about yesterday and starts thinking

about tomorrow if we are anchored and

yesterday we will miss moving on we've

moved on the last chapter of the book

the book my friend my friend gave me a

book and it's it's lined out pretty much

everything that's happened to me but it

still doesn't answer why it happened and

and God hasn't given me that answer

either it is because God is concerned

with our eternity to God it is

everything God simply does not answer

why humans are the only species that

even asked that question when the beaver

dam collapses he doesn't just sit by the

banks of the stream and ask why he

simply starts to rebuild we should do

the same

why don't you miss him oh I do I miss

Hector every day but I'm happy he is not

I am happy that I will meet him again

one day and the Eternity promised by God

you said suffering no one knew about

Hector what about a week before the

fight while he was training he started

to feel tired we all get that way but

you know usually just the adrenaline

carry us through this was something more

he went to our family doctor to see

about getting some sort of prescription

something to get him through the fight

I'm not telling everything I will fun

yeah everything during the routine exam

with our family doctor he discovered

some disturbing news in the blood tests

what kind of disturbing the doctor found

that Hector had abnormal levels of white

blood cells I'm sorry I don't

it meant that he had leukemia both his

mother and father died of leukemia so we

were very certain leukemia is very

hereditary

mr. moon huh

I still understand why did he why did he

go ahead with a fight why didn't he get

treatment we prayed about it very much

he knew if word got out that he had the

disease the fight would have been

cancelled and with his family history he

wanted his own family us to have a

better life so you're not well-off

financially or you weren't the payday he

was going to get from that fight with

you could have set us up for life it

would be enough to take care of his

family even if he couldn't well I get

that I guess I know the Commission

probably would have you know stopped the

fight if they would have known but that

doesn't excuse me for what I did you

didn't know Hector very well

he was really an unselfish person being

a fighter was his job it wasn't who he

was the only thing I can come up with is

that he knew treatment of the disease

would take all of the money he would get

from that fight he wouldn't be able to

fight anymore and would make no more

money

he was so pretty certain of the eventual

outcome of his condition because both of

his parents died Zora

yeah so you're saying

[Music]

he sacrificed himself how how could I

know there was just something in that

arena that night that put him at peace

I'm sorry

I didn't know it yet

[Music]

mama let's show you ten sorry the red he

come with us something you want to show

you

[Music]

five stars closed

[Music]

Hector started remodeling this gym

before the fight and he was going to use

some of the money to complete the work

you know we got some extra money from

the fight we used it to finish this it's

an honor his memory I'm glad you got

this money and it would be so good if

you would run it for us and train me

don't forget that Mona can train Gregory

press conference and tell the world we

have forgiven you and that you're going
