We should be looking away to Jesus. Of course, this is a pretty lofty standard, but it's HUGE! We get to know Him in the areas of our lives where obedience is doable. If the Lord tells you to do something...do it! If He tells you not to do something...don't do it!

If He tells you to SLOW DOWN, take your foot off the gas. If He tells you to STOP TALKING, stop talking. Maybe you all do this anyway. I just think we miss the point sometimes.

Thanks for the reminder, Nell. I think everyone understands this. The discussion was of a more specific nature regarding role models and heroes. My usage of "best" was in relation to either being in denial about the failure of your hero, or being cynical. It wasn't meant in an absolute sense.
