Eli Sunday:
Oh, Daniel, you've come here and you've brought good and wealth, but you
have also brought your bad habits as a backslider. You've lusted after
women and you have abandoned your child -- your child, that you raised.
You have abandoned all because he was sick and you have sinned. So, say
it now: "I am a sinner."
Eli Sunday:
I am sorry, Lord.
