Some jobs best left to the pros

The 7-year-old hurricane boy and the 8-year-old, never-do-any-wrong princess girl are still basking in the glow of Santa Claus. The little boy received an arsenal of toy tanks, machine guns and other type weapons of mass destruction, such that he now qualifies as the third-largest military power in the world, only behind the United States and China.
He also received a collection of Rambo movies who as far as I can tell has now moved into first place among American heros, removing George Washington from this anointed position.
The little girl received a grand piano for her American Girl doll which is about 1/24th the size of a real grand piano and approximately the same cost as a real size one. She also received a remote controlled flying fish, which looks somewhat like a downscaled blimp that flies through the house operated by a mechanical tailfin. The fish cannot be taken outside because it is filled with helium and would probably float away.

Others are stepping onto a stage for the very first time. Teachers stand alongside former students. Parents perform beside their children. People who worship in different churches, work different jobs and come from different corners of Southwest Georgia gather beneath the same lights to tell the same story.
