I wouldn't change any of it because it brought me to the Lord. Even that I used to struggle with that passage or that, um, you know, where it wasn't the blind man's fault. It wasn't his parents' fault. And there was part of me, it's like, and I'm just going to speak freely about this, but there was a lot of time in my life where I looked at them like, what a dick.
