We hear a great deal about Bill Clinton's search for a legacy. Apparently this desperate man thinks it's something else he can create or fake, as he has done so often before.
Historians say otherwise.
His search was much in my mind during recent meetings with two very famous men, whose legacies are honorable and unquestioned. The first is the great Christian theologian, Dr. James I. Packer, author of the classic book, Knowing God. I don't know about you, but there have been moments in my life I wish I could erase from my memory. One occurred some twelve years ago while visiting Regent College, the theological graduate school in Vancouver, British Columbia. I was staying in the faculty guest house which, I had been told, I would have to myself, as it wasn't a busy time of year.
