A 5 year old girl waits in the wings preparing to “strut her stuff” on one of the most popular and profitable television programs of all time; “America’s Got Talent.”
Standing with her are her parents. (Later, I discover that dad and mom are entertainment icons in themselves. Rodney Jerkins, American record producer and rapper, and son of a pastor, and Joy Enriquez (Jerkins), television actress and singer).
Ultimately, the former contestant completes his routine, and “Heavenly Joy” is escorted across the stage by the host of the program; Nick Cannon. She is dressed in what appears to be a custom made, two- piece suit; replete with a gray vest and pants, white shirt, red tie, and black tap shoes.
As the music plays, the little tyke begins tap dancing and belting out a popular tune from “Frozen,” (and I can tell you she does an absolutely remarkable job of it).
“In Summer”
Bees'll buzz, kids'll blow dandelion fuzz
And I’ll be doing whatever snow does in summer.
A drink in my hand, my snow up against the burning sand
Prob'ly getting gorgeously tanned in summer.
I’ll finally see a summer breeze, blow away a winter storm.
And find out what happens to solid water when it gets warm!
And I can’t wait to see, what my buddies all think of me.
Just imagine how much cooler I’ll be in summer.
Dah dah, da doo, uh bah bah bah bah bah boo
The hot and the cold are both so intense,
Put 'em together it just makes sense!
Rrr Raht da daht dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah doo
Winter’s a good time to stay in and cuddle,
But put me in summer and I’ll be a, happy snowman!
When life gets rough, I like to hold on to my dream,
Of relaxing in the summer sun, just lettin’ off steam.
Oh the sky would be blue, and you guys will be there too
When I finally do what frozen things do in summer.
I’m gonna tell him.
Don’t you dare!
In summer!

Pt. 2
As ‘Heav’ completes her routine, the four judges are beaming from ear to ear, and they clap wildly.
When the cheering of the audience finally dies down, Howard Stern, the popular host of smut radio, looks directly at the little girl, and speaks to her.
“That was very good, Heavenly Joy. I think Shirley Temple must be living somewhere inside of you.”
To which the kindergartner responds,
“Not Shirley Temple. Jesus!”
One of America's most famous infidels is obviously caught off guard, and can only mutter, "There you go!"
Talk about a spontaneous and fitting reply, and one which Howard Stern, the other judges, and the TV audience needed to hear.

Heavenly Joy’s response invokes a couple of Biblical passages.
“Out of the mouths of babes.”
(and)
“A little child shall lead them.”
Who can deny Heavenly’s ad-lib witness was one of those “just such a time as this,” moments, when an adult was led by a child, and God was gracious to make Himself known.
