If he didn’t go to jail, he might not have ever come to know his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 37 years in prison with God is far better than spending eternity in hell without God. He said in jail he would pray and sign. God gave him peace and comfort in his heart, while he waited for his time to be released. Hi 5 God loves and care about you too but you will never know it until you accept Jesus into your heart. Sin is what’s wrong with the world and the Devil is the god of this world.

I felt every word he sang and that song has a whole different meaning to me at this point. So much time taken away from him I hope he finds much happiness in the rest of his life.

[@JoseMartinez-ch3iw]

I would go to him and give him a hug. I respect this man. A hug from Costa Rica. 💙🇨🇷
