#1 Candy’s parables were always enjoyed by the kids, and she was always joyfully childlike in her delivery. She would always point toward the ceiling, just like she had practiced the night before, and the kids would be enthralled.

#2 The beginning of June, 1980, was a punishing Texas summer, and Candy Montgomery had arrived at the United Methodist Church of Lucas, Texas, a little before nine that morning. She had to take care of five errands in five different towns.

#3 Candy had always loved Lucas Church, and she was excited to be the church’s lay delegate. She had never spoken about her feelings for the church to anyone except Jackie, the previous pastor, but she felt like she had a home there.

#4 Candy had the children bow their heads for a final prayer, and then they all scurried off to their 9:30 classes. Afterward, she went to visit her favorite babysitter, Connie Holmes, who was teaching the six-year-olds that day.
