Good morning Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. When I think of Role Models, I immediately thought of Saint Paul. He truly is a role model that I would aspire to. He truly loved the Lord and wanted to share that love with others, so he knew that he must show impeccable characteristics. If we want to lead than we must lead by example. Have a blessed day today and always as you strive to be a Role Model.
