Your Weekly Dose of God

I've been scanning old papers these past few weekends. Many of my papers I have had since graduate school. I came across a paper I wrote on Langston Hughes' personal essay "Salvation." This is a passage I quoted from the story.

My aunt told me that when you were saved you saw a light, and something happened to you inside! And Jesus came into your life! And God was with you from then on! She said you could see and hear and feel Jesus in you soul. I believed her. I had heard a great many old people say the same thing and it seemed to me they ought to know. So I sat there calmly in the hot, crowded church, waiting for Jesus to come to me.
