The Curious Case of Harry

1987- Harry's implied suicide is justified in this statement.  He thought that he would find the Kingdom through Baptism and his unshakable faith led him to implicitly drown himself looking for the Lord.  Basically, the sin of suicide becomes a path to God.
1988- Harry wanted to be in the Kingdom of God, and by killing himself, a sin, he will be reborn in heaven because of his faith.
1989- Suicide, in this case, is justified because Harry was being "neglected" at home because of his parent's alcoholism and smoking- Harry wanted something more in life- like the Kingdom of God.
1990- This implies that Harry's life would be made better because of his neglect at home- he shall be healed by the Holy Spirit.
1991- Harry was unafraid to accept death because his want of a better life was  justified, therefore his walking into the river was a sign of his acceptance of what God had planned for him.
1992- Bevel had compared the river to Jesus' blood, shed for the forgiveness of our sins.  As stated earlier, Harry used Jesus' blood to justify his actions and be received by God and the powers of the Holy Spirit.
1993- This is almost a flawless retelling of what happened to Harry.  He willingly went out to meet the Lord in the river.  After a few unsuccessful tries, he still hold faith and pushes himself to find the Lord.  The Holy Spirit then takes him to the Lord because of his persistence.
1994- The boy that uses his ailment to collect money could be considered wicked.  This boy does not try to meet God like Harry did so his reward is being withheld from him.
1995- When Harry got away from his house.  He became "free" from his mom and dad's oppression, which in this case was their neglect.
1996- Harry told Bevel that he wanted to be baptized because he would not have to return home.  God's grace is the gifts that Baptism promised the boy.
1997- Bevel tells Harry that he would begin to count.  What this means is that Harry counted how long he was underwater and that he was now given an "option" to justify himself- he had never noticed it (never counted before).
1998- Normally, a boy drowning himself in a river seems outlandish to us.  However, when God is brought in, the action seems normal, and almost beautiful.  The boy had no place at home and wished to make a new home with God.
1999- Harry did not feel loved at his house.  Being Baptized showed him that there was another house that he could go to- the house of the Lord.
2000- God's grace was giving Harry a pathway out of his horrible home.  Harry wanted nothing more and was able to use God's grace to deliver himself to God by way of drowning.
2001- This could be seen as Harry's parent's neglect was a sign of grace as it opened up Harry to willingly want to be embraced by the love of the Holy Spirit and God.
2002- Man's free response is Harry's walking into the water.  He recognized the gift God was offerring to give and willingly received it.
2003- The gift of the Holy Spirit was Bevel's ability to communicate very effectively and make Harry see God's grace.  
2004- The grace of state was Ms. Connin who was the one to take up Harry with open arms.  She did not push him aside like his parents do and loved him like he had never been loved- thus providing the groundwork for the events to follow.
2005- The grace was present in Harry because he knew that he wanted something greater.  Each time the river pushed his head above water, he put it right back under and only wanted the Kingdom of God more.
