The playwright and novelist, James Baldwin, once remarked, "Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them." The apostle Paul also acknowledged this truth when we said, "Follow me as I follow Christ." When stuff happens, we may forget everything we think we know about handling crisis, but we will inevitably gravitate towards the actions of those we have watched walk through it before us. A model to imitate - this Sunday at Mendham Hills.
