Hello Benji,

I am so glad that you & your mother are talking things through. That is so important. I am sure that you will miss her but I'm sure she is going to miss you terribly as well. Mothers want to be assured of their children's well being. I don't think she could make such a decision without knowing that you would be safe & well-cared for.

I guess I didn't realize that your uncle was a pastor. That is wonderful! It's nice that he lets you accompany him to the church. Do you aspire to be a pastor? That would be a rich & fulfilling life. It can be challenging & it's probably not for everyone. We do have something in common though. My husband's youngest brother is a priest. He was ordained just 3 years ago and serves a parish in Wisconsin. We are so proud of him. He is quite popular with his parishioners.

Congratulations on your acceptance to the gifted school. That will be very challenging for you but I'm sure you are up to it. Work hard & make your family proud.

Thank you for your kind words. I am glad that I could help you see things from a different perspective. It is really your willingness to keep an open mind & heart that is important. Always remember that God is with you. If you can remember that then there isn't anything that can defeat you. That's the same thing I tell my own kids often. God Bless you Benji.

I do not aspire to the ministry. My cousin PJ and our friend, the Rat, both aspire to the ministry. I love to cook and I do a good job. I want to be a chef and have my own chain of restaurants called Benjamin's. I also want to go on Iron Chef and defeat Chef Morimoto. I want to attend the CIA after high school but I also think I need an MBA.

PJ and Rat both participate in ministry opportunities at our church and they also preach and lead worship on youth days. I cook all the time. I love it.

When I am at the church with Uncle Pat, I will sometimes help him research things on the computer, I will help the office staff with papers and printing, I sometimes help clean the church, also Uncle Pat and I visit the hospitals together sometimes. I made lunch for the church staff one time. (There is a kitchen there.) I have talked to Uncle Pat about a feeding ministry that the church could do. He asked me to get the details and make a proposal.

Thanks again for your encouragement.
