For My Part

All my kinsmen, like the rest of the tribe of my forefather Naphtali, used to offer sacrifice on all the mountains of Galilee as well as to the young bull which Jeroboam, king of Israel, had made in Dan.
I, for my part, would often make the pilgrimage alone to Jerusalem for the festivals, as is prescribed for all Israel by perpetual decree.

Tobit 1:5-6

Tobit had not conformed to the pattern (Romans 12:2), even of all his kinsmen, so God blessed him (Tobit 1:12-13). He wasn't 'normal.' He dared to be different. He was special. Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world (Romans 12:2, NLT)
