I like Victor Borge. I am unashamed of this. Some find his humor simplistic and silly, but it makes me laugh. In a day when most humor is crude, smutty, and edgy – simple is refreshing.

I recently heard an interview with one of his sons which challenged me as a dad. He remarked that he was once asked, “What is the difference between Borge on stage and Borge off-stage?” He thought, then answered with characteristic wit, “The lighting.”

What a testimony to consistency! That’s the dream of every parent . . . that our children find us the same in private as we are in public. Whether you and I are ever on stage, I pray that our family or friends can say the same of us.

Have you had someone in your life you could say that about?
