Preacher Boy

I'm a big believer in preparing children for changes before they come. That way they can prepare themselves and it makes the transition much easier. Well, today the boys and I were talking about a change that is, hopefully, on the horizon and about what that would mean for them. I was explaining to them that in many ways when a pastor is hired to shepherd a church his family is also hired. Things are expected of them and their behavior. They seemed to understand but after a short pause Eli says, " So they're going to want me to preach too?" He seemed completely happy about that and confident in his ability to deliver a sermon.
