Reader's responses to The Big Question
August 7, 2006
The Question: “What would you like to do, when you ‘grow up’?”
The Answer:
“Be a cowboy.”
The Answer:
“Besides be the U.S. Secretary of Education, I want to be wherever
God would use me in whatever ministry He would have me work in!”
The Answer:
“I want to travel the world in style, when I get rich and
famous!”
The Answer:
“The carnal side of me says that I’d like to be a billionaire who
never has to work. But the realistic side says that I’d like to be a
pastor’s wife and/or a teacher. I would also love to open up my own Christian
Recording label to revitalize the music industry.”
The Answer:
“First, I want to be a wife. Then I want to be barefoot and
pregnant for a while. Ultimately my goal is to be a stay-at-home mom. I think it
would be incredible to be able to raise my children myself (rather than have
strangers at a day care raise them for me).”
The Answer:
“I’m 28 years old, but I haven’t passed the thought of ‘I
want to be a teacher, and a nurse, and an accountant and...’ But for now, my
‘grown up’ job is at a credit union. I don’t think I’ll ever become a
‘grown up.’”
The Answer:
“A fashion designer. I
doubt it will ever happen.”
The Answer:
“Figure out why there are only 300 licensed UPCI ministers under
the age of 30? Of course, we know our young people need to get a good education
to take of themselves and their families. There is no need to support them in
Bible school. I have one last question—when these educated Pentecostals grow
up, will they support the UPCI ministries financially, or will we still be
begging for funds?”
The Answer:
“Be the editor of 90&9. Undoubtedly the best job in Pentecost,
and I hear the pay is awesome.”
The Answer:
“When I grow up, I would like to walk on streets of gold, live
forever and never grow old, never pay taxes, never a need to buy food, clothes,
insurance, car payment, fight traffic, pick up the kids. Ahhh, it sounds
heavenly!”
The Answer:
“Well, being umm . . . 30something I still have plans/goals on
going to college. I married at 18, and now my two boys are teenagers and a few
more years they will be graduating and Lord willing, I will be able to set out
on a new journey for myself and my husband.”
The Answer:
“My only wish is that there will always be a fresh incoming supply
of little rugrats in the house so I’ll be able to watch animated movies and
Disney stuff without appearing weird.”
The Answer:
“Be a mommy.”
The Answer:
“Kayaking tour guide!”
The Answer:
“Travel across America with my family in an RV ministering to
hurting souls!”
The Answer:
“The same thing we do every night! Try and take over the world!”
The Answer: “I don’t wanna grow up. I’m a Toys ‘r Us Kid!”
