Whoever becomes humble like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of
heaven.
I like that--it reveals Mondale's humility. Everybody likes a person of humility. Jesus
certainly did.
(Matthew 18:4
NRSV)
Some months after his defeat in the Presidential race of 1984, former Vice President
Walter
Mondale was giving a talk about terrorism at the American Bar Association convention
in
London. Suddenly there was an explosion. Security men jumped to their feet and the
audience
stiffened. It quickly became apparent that the noise had come from an exploding TV
camera
light. Unfortunately, this was immediately followed by fire sprinklers going into action,
drenching
the occupants of the room. Mondale looked around and then said, "Once you're out of
office, you find there is very little dignity in this world."
Dear God, Jesus has led the way by humbly going to the cross. Remove my pride as I
humbly
work to share the good news of Jesus my savior. Amen.
