Damascus Southern Baptist Church is holding a revival. Mildred
knows it will be a disaster. Francis Paul Day, an ex-junkie, is the
speaker. She snorts. "If matters aren't horrible enough, that
heathen has the same christened name as my beloved son " Francis
Paul Day proclaims, "I am a sinner Saved by the Grace of God Washed
in the blood of Jesus Christ " Mildred mocks and ignores him. Knows
what a heathen is. Describes her Second Blessings as "more than
just doing right. It's the knowledge that you are pure. It's not
thinking of yourself better than others, though you are, or showing
it, though you do, since it's as natural as breathing. A Second
Blessing is a gift shared with prophets of old and yet to come.
It's not just having my name written in the Book of Life, but
engraved." The first night ends with Communion. Mildred chokes on
the Host. Although Francis Paul Day saves her, she knows he's
obsessed with her granddaughter. Is determined to keep them apart.
But exposing him reveals a family secret. Jonathan Swift said, "We
have just enough religion to make us hate, but not enough to make
us love one another." SECOND BLESSING ponders this truth.
