There is something ironic about this nickname. The idea of a "Preacha boy". The idea of the kid in school who is known for his faith, who is known for his Bible, and who is known for being vocal about it. There are two very important characters in my life who had this reputation, however they are two VERY different people. One boy had all of the knowledge in his head, however his heart was rotten. But he was a good actor and everyone believed his facade. His facade was perhaps better than mine ever was. The other boy had the head knowledge that resided deep inside his heart. It was evident in every action, in every situation. He truly had God residing inside his heart and he shared it. Not that he is perfect, not at all. I could hand you a list of faults right now. But he is in a relationship with God and that is evident.
I find it ironic that two boys known for similar reputations were SO different in actions. The first boy was my rapist. The second is my best friend.
