“What do you want to be when you grow up?” I asked the class. Several children raised their hands.
“A judge,” said one.
“A teacher,” said another.
The third said, “A basketball player!”
I called on one last boy: “I want to be a preacher,” he said with a striking boldness in his voice.
“So do you think you can wake up suddenly one day and become a teacher or a professional basketball player?” I asked them.
“No,” they all said.
“What steps would you have to take to get there? What will you have to do if you want to be a preacher?” I said, addressing my little preacher friend.
“I have to read my Bible,” he said.
I was shocked. Even though I am not allowed to initiate conversations about God in school, I still got to talk about Him because of a little boy who wants to become a preacher. Carolyn Hills
