The wise person will learn from the example of those who have gone before him. This is not unique to the Christian faith, although it’s especially important to us. We give assent to sacred Scripture, and it’s full of history and stories and examples for our instruction.

“I’m not quite sure why we continue to patronize this place,” Timedechus said. “Nathan’s wine tastes more like water than wine, and his bread grows more stale with each visit!”

Jonas tore off another piece of bread. “Like I say each time you complain, it’s convenient. Halfway between the tabernacle and the synagogue.” Popping the piece of bread into his mouth, he smiled at the Levite. “Gives us more time to complain about the food and drink and offer our wise commentary on anythi
