Kid Two: Mom, when I grow up what should I be?
..
Me: Hmmmm. Interesting question, Kid Two. How about a zookeeper?
..
No.
..
How about a ninja so you can karate chop things or a barber so YOU can decide how long someone's hair should be?
..
No. Those aren't really any good. [You don't say.]
..
Lawnboy? Chef? Realtor?
..
No. All dumb ideas, Mom. I want a job that I will love.
..
Guitar player? Javlin-ist? President?
..
Mom!
..
Well, honey, why don't you just change the world with the word of God.
..
[Short silence. He's thinking. And he's serious]
Yeah, that's a great idea. I'll just do that.
[Exit Kid Two from the room.]
..
I'll just do that? he says.

Oh Father, please give him a heart to pick your Word as his passion of choice.
Please.

Whatever they choose...if God is their passion...they'll love their "job".
Good teaching, mom!
May we all do just that, Kid Two. What a great life goal you've given him.
What a wonderful "profession!"
