As a teenager, I became friends with a boy name Jack. We rode bikes and played games with the other kids in the neighborhood and everyone got along OK, but every once and awhile Jack would say or do something that just did not sound or seem right.
One day while standing in his driveway by their pale green VW Karmann Ghia, I finally understood why Jack was the way he was.
Jack’s father came out of the house and we were all talking about the car when Jack’s dad made a comment about the Ghia.
“That back seat folds down, and when you fold it up there’s a little rubber hook that will hold it up again, but mine broke.” He then paused for a minute while a slightly crooked smile came across his face, and then he said, “I guess I’ll have to find one in another Karman Ghia and Liberate It”.
At that moment it became clear where Jack was getting his character. Just as Christian pastor and psychologist, Dr. James Dobson said, when it comes to raising children, “Values Are CAUGHT rather than TAUGHT” and in that light, we are all molded and formed by the examples set for us.
Friend, be we children or adults, follow the way of Godly Righteousness and it will always lead to a good end.
