"Heavenly father, I have never once doubted or questioned your plan for me. Not even as I stood in the middle of a fruitless garden in Africa surrounded by confused and indecent sinners, not then did I doubt our ability to help them. But as I sit here in a chapel, for crying out loud, I am almost brought to tears by what surrounds me. I had only taken a few steps here when I spotted the first indecency. Girls running around like prostitutes with their boobs and midriffs showing, flaunting there nail polish and sex itself. And as if that wasn't bad enough. I saw two kids kissing in plain view of absolutely everyone! That combined with the profanity that carelessly runs from nearly everones mouth and the single ratty copy of the bible that this school has is enough to make me livid. That's why I came here to the chapel, because I doubt you would want to have anything to do with a single other place on this forsaken campus. Noone here seems to see you like I do. Could there possibly be some mistake, not to cast doubt upon you father, but is there any possibility you might have led me wrong, accidentaly to the place where you keep your mistaken creations that just weren't suitable for living and believing with the rest of us? I never thought these words would come from my own mouth, mine that has turned ignorant into believers, sinners into followers, and women into suitable disciples. Please send me an answer quickly, father, your wish is my command. But in all seriousness I think that this wretched place is too far removed from what miracles even I can perform. Amen."
