The story takes a turn: Jimmy Morrow, founder and preacher of Edwina Church of God in Jesus' Name, invites Abe into his home. Sensing that Abe has a “good spirit,” Jimmy shows Abe his poetry, art, and a comprehensive compilation of serpent-handling history and lore. Afterwards, Jimmy and Pam Morrow both sing songs from their faith into Abe’s handheld digital recorder, a capella. Meanwhile, Abe discusses with Ferrill the idea of faith at a “cost”… and why he finds meaning in that.
