My maternal grandmother was a devout Christian from the US Gulf Coast. When she taught me to cook gumbo she said to chop and sauté the trinity. Bell peppers, celery and onion. When she was in church and heard the pastor refer to the Trinity she knew they were talking about the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. She wasn’t an educated woman but she understood context as a matter of common sense, the common sense she accepted as a gift from God. Even as an uneducated woman she had read more than one book and knew a lot of different people are fools for a lot of different reasons.
