And I hollered at Bill and I was like, "Dude, it is freaking hot up here." And he was like, "Yeah, man, this is, it, it is.

You're good, man.

I remember the day so vividly.
7:22
I was in my bedroom of my little apartment in Tulsa with my Bible open to Psalm 91 and Psalm 23.
7:31
I prayed those scriptures over Jared's life over and over and over in the course of the afternoon.
7:39
I remember my mom teaching us to pray scripture by inserting people's names into the verses.

7:58
So that's exactly what I did to plead and demand for Jared's safety.
