The Preacher's Daughter Page #2

---

The poor girl's been through a lot living

with that so... called mother of hers.

Who is she?

That's Brother Tate's daughter Rachel.

It looks like she's

going to be staying with...

...them for a while, so she

may need a new friend.

You want me to be her friend?

It's our job to reach

out to people in need.

It looks like she could use a positive

influence in her life right about now.

Just as long as you don't

let her influence you.

# We're stuck in this place

We don't want to look back #

# at our lives and

find out they were waste #

# It's time to follow our dreams #

# Take a good look around

Can this be all there is? #

# I don't wanna get stuck like my... #

I don't remember seeing

that one in the hymnal.

It's a little something I wrote

back when I wanted to be a rock star.

You wanted to be a rock star?

Shhh...

Don't worry. Your secret's safe with me.

You ready to get started?

So. When you sing, always breathe

from your diaphragm. Ready? Let's go.

My what?

Your diaphragm.

Ok. Focus your breathing

where my hand is.

Breathe in...

And out...

Breathe in...

Breathe out.

Nice.

Ok, try that singing.

# la la la la... #

I'm sorry.

No no no... it's all right.

It was good.

Don't worry about it. It takes time

to learn how to breathe correctly.

You're doin' good.

Youll get the hang of it.

C'mon. Let's try something else.

Now don't get me wrong, I love the

traditional hymns. They're great and all.

But if we are going to grow as a church,

we got to liven things up a little.

We got to bring in more upbeat music...

draw in a younger crowd on Sunday mornings.

Well good luck with that.

Dad's pretty old fashioned

about those kinds of things.

Which is precisely why I'm glad

you're taking these lessons.

Because he won't mind so much

if it's you up there singing.

That'n... well...

Kids are more likely to relate to you

than an old fogie like me.

You're not that old.

Feel like I am.

I just, I don't know...

about getting up there and singing

in front of all those people.

What if I forget the words or something?

Yeah, you might.

I'm not going to lie to you.

It's scary the first time.

But, the more you do

it, the easier it gets.

Same as anything.

Hey, look at me.

God gave you that beautiful

voice for a reason.

Don't waste his gift by

not sharing it with others.

[BELL RINGS]

Hey.

Hi.

Looks like someone's

got their eye on you.

Jeremy? Yeah, right.

Oh, I don't know. He seemed

pretty interested to me.

Even if he were, it doesn't matter.

I'm not allowed to go out with guys.

I guess I'd better

get you home then, huh.

[CHUCKLES]

Now, Calvin, stop that.

You know she don't eat meat.
