Some Letters from 5th Graders

I recently had the opportunity to participate in career day at a local school.  I visited several classrooms, talking about what it's like to be a pastor, including Ms. O's fifth grade class.  This week she sent me a thank you note, attached to letters from each of her students.  Reading them was a riot. 

Here are a few of my favorites:

Thank you for coming to our class today. What I learned from you is to work with you. I want to be a Pastor when I grow up. And how can I do that by making people come to cruch. Thank you for your time.

Thank you for coming to my school at Hanley International Academy. What I learned from you is you should never float in the air.

Thank you for coming to our class today.  What I learned from you is you liked to help people.  I want to be a Bartender when I grow up.

Thank you for coming to our class today. What I learned from you is that you make churches. I want to be a basketball play for the Orlando Magic. My second choice will be an investor.

LOL...yep, those were my kiddos last year!!! :-) Clearly I never taught them how to spell out "church". :) And I'm pretty sure that I know who wrote that last one...

Way to go Brad, I am so proud of you... I thinnk!!I don't know what you said to them but bartending and Olando Magic sounds like they are running in the other direction, LOL. I am glad I had you for a year so I could leave my mark on you. I know it was with my spirit filled teaching and in the second grad that you made your life long commitment (that is my story and I am sticking to it).

Love Ya, Cheryl
