Did the creator of the universe create the heavens, seas, humans, and the sun in six days? When I was younger, these stories weren’t just stories but factual history to me. But I went through a phase of total disbelief and rejection of anything that is Catholic. One time, my mom urged me to go with her to a Catholic seminar where this special group of Catholic nuns and priest only visit San Jose once in a while.

She grew up learning about Jesus, but was never full aware about the Sabbath until her later years, when she began questioning things and reading for herself. She became an Adventist and attended Healdsburg College, where she became a fill in teacher for an absent math teacher. His father, Robert Hare, one of 24 siblings, was an early convert into Seventh-day Adventism in New Zealand by S. N. Haskill.

She can even perform a ceremony for her granddaughter in New York to the “twenty-first century totem pole…made of flash and neon” (114).

Before Kamps became the spiritual being she is now, she once went to church to find truth in life. When Kamps’ mother died and she was pregnant, she needed the church the most.
Langston Hughes and Maya Angelou, both born in Missouri, wrote their essays based on a previous childhood experience in their churches. “Sister Monroe” is also is written from a child’s point of view. Angelou writes about her experience as a child at one particular sermon, sitting in front where her grandmother can keep an eye on her and discourage any misbehavior. Angelou witnesses the comic and exaggerated actions of Sister Monroe, a fellow congregant who makes the most of her seldom visits to church punctuated with spirited responses of “Preach it” to the reverend’s sermon.

The Grandmother tried to convince the Misfit he was a good man in order to save herself (O'Connor). When she could not achieve this task, she began to question Jesus herself, “Maybe He didn’t raise the dead,” the old lady mumbled, not knowing what she was saying and feeling so dizzy that she sank down in the ditch with her legs twisted under her.” (O'Connor). It’s unclear why she said what she said next. She reached out and touched the Misfit and told him, “Why you’re one of my babies. You’re one of my own children!” Upon this action, the Misfit shot
