When Ezekiel Stoddard was ordained as a minister at the Fullness of Time Church in Capitol Heights, Maryland, last month it was a unique celebration -- one that turned heads and raised questions. Why? Because Ezekiel is just 11 years old. According to "Good Morning America," the son of two pastors decided to become a minister at this very young age when God spoke to him in a dream.
The young minister said, "God gave me that particular scripture [Psalm 23] because a lot of people, they try to draw you away from the Lord, trying to get you on the wrong path." When asked if people thought it was strange, he said, "People come to you, they ask you questions about why you should act like a child and not a minister. I do things like a child, but still I am a minister. I am an evangelical." But do you think Stoddard is too young to take on the role of a minister?

And the Atheist doesn't have to expect to have his thoughts changed. You're putting words in my mouth again.
I'm done with this "beating a dead horse with a stick" thread.
You have a great day.
Off subject...let's end here. I want you to feel better and I really hope your week and weekend are better for you. Stress can hurt your health so hang in there and be good to yourself.
Take care - I'm sure we'll talk later.
notice how you block me because you lost.
