As a Christian, we are compelled to speak the word of God and to spread the good news. Would you speak the word and the good news of God if doing so was against the law? Would you trust that God would keep you safe? What if you were thrown in jail, would you still continue to serve God and do as He commands?

The law eventually caught up with Bob and he was thrown into jail. While in jail, Bob never once doubted God. Every situation that was handed to Bob, he used it as a way to serve God or to spread his good news. …show more content…
While cleaning the toilets, Bob would share the gospel with the inmates. Some would pour out all their wrongs to him and Bob would intern tell “them about the saving grace of Jesus” (Fu 209). Bob did not stop there. All the inmates where in the formation and had to stay painfully still. Even though Bob was in pain, “[he] felt so thankful to God and [he] wanted to sing” (210). So he did. Which caused a chain reaction; voices began to join in by the “fourth repetition, every man in the entire cell singing… [they] heard the cells on both sides of [them] singing to God” (211). After this incident, the head security guard sternly warned Bob to stop spreading his beliefs. But did he stop? No, he did not. The next time, instead of singing, “[he] simply hummed the tune […]. Once again, the other men joined in with [his] humming” (Fu 213). Bob took being thrown in jail as another way to spread the love and word of

The murder of Hae Min Lee was a mind twisting case. When listening to the podcast, you are left to wonder about who is guilty and who is innocent. With all of the evidence in this case, I am left to believe Adnan Syed is innocent. There are many facts that lead people to believe that he is guilty. However, some of the evidence doesn’t line up. Adnan has an alibi, the crime doesn’t fit the time frame that he had, and Jay had inconsistencies in his stories about Adnan, so the question is was he actually telling the truth. Adnan doesn’t remember very much about the day of Hae’s murder, and if he actually did commit the crime, you would remember that day perfectly.
