The girl is super confused (and we kind of are, too). It’s the first story he’s written, and he’s so proud that he decides to show it to some other random girl.From hymns, it’s a short step to writing a story about a girl. Then, he thinks that maybe writing new hymns is just as good as praying. Granny is bummed, but she settles for making him promise to pray, and being a good boy.The whole church ends up thinking that Richard saw an angel, and they’re just about to welcome him into their fold ( One of us! One of us!) when Richard opens his big mouth to announce that he didn’t see an angel after all. Apparently she doesn’t have the best hearing, because she hears him saying that he saw an angel and he believes. Eventually, Richard is so fed up that he tells his grandma that, if he saw an angel, he’d join the church.It’s just that he doesn’t care either way. The thing is, it’s not that Richard thinks God doesn’t exist.Everyone in the neighborhood is involved, even kids who have never talked to Richard before. Suddenly, everyone is all nicey nice trying to get him to become Christian. Granny has caught on that whipping doesn’t work, so now she’s trying a different tactic to save his soul: cult-style recruitment.Sounds like someone is going through puberty. At church these days, Richard ignores the sermon to focus on the preacher’s wife.He develops a method to avoid kneeling that involves complicatedly balancing on his tiptoes, which doesn’t really seem any better to us, but at this point we’re pretty much on his side no matter what he chooses to do. So, Richard said before that Granny was pretty religious, but now he goes into detail about how their whole days are arranged according to her religious regime.Richard doesn’t back down, so we guess it’s a draw.Granny gets involved, Richard's mom gets involved, Grandpa gets involved, and of course they all take Aunt Addie’s side before Richard has even said a thing.It’d be even funnier if this weren’t an autobiography and if it didn’t seem to happen to Richard all of the time. Little 11-year-old Richard whips out a knife and chases his aunt while she runs after him with a wooden switch. At home, she tries to beat Richard again, but Richard has just about had enough.One day she accuses Richard of dropping some walnuts on the floor and whops his hands when he (truthfully) denies it. Wilson-isn’t going to win any teaching awards. And guess who the teacher is? Aunt Addie. Guess who else is going to religious school, very much against his will? Richard.Richard can pretty much ignore Granny’s constant nagging him to get "saved" until she recruits a sidekick, Aunt Addie, who is fresh from religious school.Granny seems to only serve lard-based meals, and the occasional Tofurkey look-alike, which gives the whole family a constant case of heartburn and indigestion. Like fantasizing-about-vanilla-wafers and drinking-water-so-that-he-can-feel-full-hungry. He doesn’t mind listening to the sermons, but once he’s out of church he thinks it’s all a big joke. Richard is living with Granny again, and he’s getting a little fed up with all the religiosity.and never buy a ford 6.0 diesel, everything goes bad quick. but you will have to eventually replace the tranny in the dodge cummins. a cummins or a ford 7.3 is the best 2 motors ever made. i swear on my life it will go that far or further! no exaggerations! but whatever you choose, best of luck! long story short that trans. please please, save your hard earned money and take my advice! spend a little more on a diesel and it will go over 600 thousand miles and more! as long as you keep it maintained, oil, air filter, diesel injector cleaner occasionally. especially the v-10! they will blow in a heartbeat if you pull too much. if your using the truck for work or if you plan on pulling anything go for the diesel!!! i cannot say it enough, gas work trucks are useless. the only practical application for a gas motor is in personal vehicles only. but don't buy that truck! never buy a gasoline powered super duty work truck. Hell no, any problems will not occur from your transmission, it is great. I'm looking at buying an 04 Super duty with the 4R100 auto transmission and gas engine and swap in the ZF6-650 manual from a 7.3L PowerStroke with a Cummins second gen 12 valve.
