At breakfast John described to his mother and brothers what he dreamed of. No one thought anything of it until John proclaimed that he wanted to follow God in priesthood. Although John knew that they did not have the finances to afford his studies him and his mother believed God would provide. That first dream led him to want to minister to poor and neglected boys, to use the love and guidance that seemed so impossible at his age to lead them to faithful and safe lives. He started out by learning how to juggle and do acrobatics to catch the attention of the children. When he had their attention he would teach them and take them to …show more content…
As he stepped forward a second time, he was followed by helpers. But the walls of the arbor closed on him, the roof sank lower and the roses crept onto the path. Thorns caught at him from all around. When he pushed them aside he only got more cuts, until he was tangled in thorns. Yet those who watched said, "How lucky Don John is! His path is forever strewn with roses! He hasn't a worry in the world. No troubles at all!" Many of the helpers, who had been expecting an easy journey, turned back, but some stayed with him. Finally he climbed through the roses and thorns to find another incredible garden. A cool breeze soothed his torn skin and healed his wounds.”(Catholic

To begin with Benet writes,“I had just found a door i could open when the dogs decided to rush”(178).

Very few Henry County High School athletes go to a big-athletic Division 1 college. An even smaller list went to play pro. There has only been one that has won a championship in the pro leagues. That man is John Lewis Hudson. John was born in Memphis, Tennessee but he grew up in Henry County, where he played football. He was recruited by many colleges. He ended up choosing Auburn, where he would start for 3 years. John said, “I liked Coach Dye and it was a small town. I liked that it was a small town.” He was then drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles and also played for the New York Jets and Baltimore Ravens.
The purpose of John’s life is to discover his real identity. He realizes that his desire and goals are different from what his family expects him to do. “Everyone had always said that John would be a preacher when he grew up, just like his father. It had been said so often that John, without ever thinking about it, had come to believe it himself”. John wants his father’s love, but there is a part of him that feels hatred for his father. “He lived for the day when his father would be dying and he, John, would curse him on his death-bed”. Despite John struggles with uncertainty about his salvation, he finally had his first religion experience. “Elisha,' he said, 'no matter what happens to me, where I go, what folks say about me, no matter what anybody says, you remember - please remember - I was saved. I was there.” John has chosen the path of religion, and now he is unlikely to remain under
