I supposed to be okay he didn't sleep

last night

he prayed all night all night

we're good people but

and already going but are we godly I

mean really I think we think we are

but this whole theme of Gabe it's it's

like we're missing that connection the

relationship

why don't we talk to God like we talked

to one another so I don't want to just

live anymore

I wanna live in his light

that'd be why Gabe is here I don't know

I don't know but I know there's a reason

why you and I are still hearing promise

there's a reason why we stuck it out and

there's a reason why we're here right

now

for a change

easy to tell a story about someone else

but what about your story what when you

got the word that your cancer has spread

you shut yourself off from the world

the fear paralyzes you you don't have to

be alone God loves you he will not

forsake you how did you know about my

cancer

the cancer in your pancreas doesn't hurt

now but it will badly you know it's

coming you wake up every day wondering

will this be the day who can save you

mr. Bierce it's not me

mr. Pierce

[Music]

I want to thank everybody for being here

tonight to share in this celebration of

Doc's life as I was in my office

reflecting on Doc's life this passage

came merrily I say unto you he that

heareth my word and believeth on him

that sent me

roni stop stop

od what are you trying to prove are all

of you so blind you can't see what's

happened since this kid has been here

that's enough for thee no it isn't sit

down sit down and listen

were you with Doc when he died

[Music]

and how did he die it was his time to go

home

that mean huh

[Music]

going on in since this kid got here and

he's right in the middle of all of it

Sheriff

can't you see what you're missing well

are you lost in your own pain and anger

that you can't see anything else

all these people mourning together

rejoicing together despite their own

sorrows is that what you care about no

Sheriff

I care about God cares about you God

does not love me you see all these

horrible things happening for no

apparent reason and you try to fix them

on your own but you can't I see Beautif

broken Souls choked off by the only one

who can save them don't you wonder why
