Synopsis

"What's them biddy sparrows doing now, Papa?" Corliss Cameron, age 7, although blind from birth possessed an insatiable thirst to know the world around her, "Them biddy sparrows going for that hunk of bread, baby girl. Them sparrows are scrappers just like you." One day the blind girl's curiosity turned toward theology. "What's God look like, Papa?" "Don’t know." "Never seen him?" "No." "Tell me if you see God, Papa." Suddenly the man recalled beholding a portrait of the Almighty--Michaelangelo's famous fresco, The Creation of Adam. "God was sort of fat, Corliss, and he had a white beard." "Is God Santa Claus, Papa?" The little blind girl’s pursuit of God began on Santa's lap at the mall. "Are you God, Santa?" This year's Santa Claus was a 24 year old graduate student--a religion major and an atheist. Jolly St. Nick had few good tidings to tell the blind girl about Christianity. The following day, sitting atop the steps of an old building, father and daughter fed the pigeons. "What is this place, Papa?" The man stood in search of some indication. He saw some words on the wall. Around 1932 the sign read Pentecostal Union Church in old English letters. It had never been touched up, and several letters were faded or completely washed out. "I think it says this is the Peanut Onion Church, Corliss." "Can we go to the Peanut Onion Church, Papa?" "For sure, Corliss." The little girl's pursuit of God continued that Sunday on the back pew of the Pentecostal Union Church. For the special occasion Mike bought his daughter a new dress from Goodwill--actually it was a discarded uniform from the Bishop Fulton J. Sheen Catholic Girl's School. Mike Cameron didn't know the difference.
