Gary Busey?
Sometimes good advise can come from a pretty unlikely source. Take for instance a Southern Baptist preacher on his way to Israel to minister to "the infidels" who just so happens to look exactly like Gary Busey (the big toothed actor famous for his portrayals of whacked out crazy psychopath).
He told me that I need to look to my youth to figure out what I want to do with my life now. That sometimes the dreams of our childhood are what God intended for us to do because children apparently have a direct link to the Big Guy.
Well, as a child I wanted to be a teacher so that I could have summers off during which I would be a firefighter by day and a ballerina by night.
"Look at your later dreams," he tells me, as he looks at me like I'm the crazy one in the conversation. (Honestly, who just called an entire country's population infidels?)
"What did you want to be before everyone told you that you couldn't do it?"
That was a little tougher to answer.
But after a little thought, and a few cups of coffee, and a diet coke... and some peanut butter M & Ms...
Well, I remembered at one point I wanted to be an architect, that is until my dad and my drafting teacher told me I was a stupid girl and couldn't possibly ever succeed at such a manly career.
Well, maybe now is the time that I looked into this "childish" dream. Maybe I could be the next Frank Lloyd Wright, maybe I could finally leave my mark on the world since I so obviously am not going to ever leave my DNA behind.
Maybe a Gary Busey look-a-like religious fanatic is the man that will finally lead me to my salvation.

Yeah, I did. Then our hero realized that she is afraid of fish.
