This narrative is an example about how different people can be even though they are both Christian. Everybody takes their faith to a different level, and this is definitely evident the differences between Orson and Hub. Although Hub practices in a such a way that seems strange to many people, it is the way that he prays and praises. This story illustrates that fact that there is no one right way to worship, and by getting hung up on how others praise the living God around, you can go crazy, as Orson did.
Lastly, there is an realization that ends the narrative. Orson marries who he says he was going to, he becomes a doctor, and his life is as he pictured it...On the outside. The last statement says that "He never prays." Hub on the other hand goes to many different places and lives his life day by day. I feel that this final illustration can be interpreted as saying that as Christians we should go where we are called. We should go where God leads us, and if that is away from our original plan, than so be it. Hub did this and was happy with his life. Orson is living his life, but is he really living?
