I recently designed a flier for the Boy Scout Troop where my husband is the Scout Master. I worked on my computer for several hours with a new graphics program trying to get the perfect look for this document. When I finally achieved the look I wanted, I sent it to the printer, only to find out that I had chosen the wrong template and I had to go back to the designing board and start the process over. The second time it was successful because I followed the right pattern. In following the example of other Christians, it is wise to pick your patterns carefully—be sure they “walk-the-walk,” not just “talk-the-talk.” When this life has run its course, it’s comforting to know that we will be fashioned and conformed to the most perfect pattern of all—our Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus.
