the king of the universe.

Amen.

Ryan Reece Wade,

welcome to your new life.

Christ the Lord is ris'n today

Alleluia!

Raise your joys and triumphs high

Alleluia!

You'd almost say

little Ryan Wade was

like any boy in the 1940s,

except for one thing.

When he sang a song,

he could bring the roof down.

Nehemiah, Esther, Psalms...

Job.

Job. Yeah, Job, Psalms...

Proverbs?

Proverbs...

How many books of the

Bible are there, Daddy?

You tell me. Sixty...

How many in the Old Testament?

You're on number 20 with Proverbs.

Now, come on.

And do not be conformed to this world,

but transformed by the

renewing of your mind.

That you may prove what

is good and acceptable,

the perfect will of God.

Jeremiah 29.

For I know the plans...

I have for you.

Declares the Lord.

Declares the Lord.

But when memorizing

proved to be a challenge,

Ryan knew instinctively

what every grade school teacher knows.

Turn it into a song.

Well

I know the plans I have for you

Declares the Lord

Plans to prosper and not to harm you

And then shall call and pray to me

And I will listen to ya

And ye shall seek and ye shall find

When you seek with all of your heart

Louise was smitten

Whoa, baby,

don't you just walk by me...

Am I the master of the fake ID or what?

Oh, no thank you.

Come on, man.

You can't be a PK forever.

PK?

PK. Preacher's Kid.

That's you.

"Please Lord,

never let me have any fun."

That's what I am, Dino. Besides...

I don't like beer.

More for me.

I like beer a lot.

Man! Are you listening to this?

Yeah.

Wow.

I ain't never heard

anything like it before.

How come we can't do music

like this back home?

In Tennessee, in your daddy's church?

Cat, you crazy.

I ain't talking about church, Dino.

I'm just talking about music.

She walk right in,

she walk right out

A PK is always the wildest at heart.

Baby baby

Don't you just walk by me

it's 1:
45 in the morning.

You been drinking, son?

No, sir.

Don't lie to me.

I ain't lying, Daddy.

You smell like smoke.

I wasn't smoking either.

Where you been?

At Dino's place.

Is that so?

I drove by Dino's when I

was out looking for you.

Must've just missed you.

I was at a roadhouse across County Line.

What?

Daddy, it ain't what you think.

A honky-tonk?

Well, I knew if I told you,

you'd never let me go.

You're underage!

And you're going into the ministry.
