Advice to My Children No. 2


2- Choose for your associates and 'look-up-to-s' people who have developed true Christ-like traits; who are not ashamed to live His Gospel without a hint of superiority or 'special'-ness (you know what your dad means by that); who can exercise authority without being condescending or using unrighteous dominion; who have a direction in life based on goals approved by Jesus Christ Himself; who work hard at those goals with breaks of honest fun; who you can trust to endure hardships and unforeseen adjustments in life while staying true and faithful; who enjoy life without needing exaggeration or laughing at others' expense; who are as comfortable at the pulpit as they are with a wrench in their greasy hands; who you feel as comfortable with them at the pulpit as you do with a wrench in their greasy hands working on your car; and whose real hero is the Savior of all mankind. Become one of those people so even when there is no-one else physically present to associate with or 'look-up-to', you will always have good company.
