Follow the leader
I watched Nick's basketball team practice last night. It's fun to watch 11 and 12 year olds attempt the "moves" that they have seen NBA players execute. Despite their inability to dunk a basketball they are rather zealous at attempting the near impossible: crossover moves, spinning lay-ups and three-pointers are hurled with the expectation that every shot will fall. On the one hand our attempts to be like Jesus are similar to these "would be" NBA stars. It is a little ambitious for us to attempt to be like the Master. Yet, there really is no other way to live. To truly live life is to live what Eugene Peterson calls "a life that is consonant with His leading".
