Emphasis Preaching Journal

A friend of mine tells the story about a schoolmate who wanted to become a doctor when he grew up. His classmates and the teachers would call him Doctor Bill. His high school annual reflected his ambition. Expectations were high as Doctor Bill went off to college. After his sophomore year of college, Bill had to come home and make a confession. The dream of becoming a doctor had given way to another dream. He wanted to become a lawyer. His parents were shocked at first, but reality set in. They supported his wishes and he transferred to a noted university to pursue a law degree.
