"No" she said, "I ain't changed. You aint changed neither. You still promising the Lord you going to do better--and you think whatever you done already, whatever you doing right at that minute, don't count. Of all the men I ever knew, you's the man who ought to be hoping the Bible's all a lie--'cause if that trumpet ever sounds, you going to spend eternity talking."

Aunt Florence is destroying this man: "but I done read the Bible, too, and it tells me you going to know the tree by its fruit. What fruit I seen from you if it ain't been been just sin and sorrow and shame?"

“Looks like” she said “you think the Lord’s a man like you; you think you can fool Him like you fool men, and you think He forgets, like men. But God don’t forget nothing, Gabriel—if your name’s down there in the Book, like you say, it’s got all wrist you done right down there with it. And you going to answer for it too.”

That’s so sad

Yes, I have some empathy for Gabriel—but I still fo not like him. Reading his chapters is a necessary evil bc it’s hard.

She’s actually more complicated than I thought, but I do feel empathy for her. I wonder if Gabriel’s chapter will do the same for me.

Aunt Florence is my favorite.

This book is bringing up so much stuff in more ways than one for me.
