That's like saying that your fathers came over on the Mayflower, fought in the revolution, came through the Cumberland Gap and so on. You know, people never really change. Some still claim that their blood is bluer then that of others. I remember reading a few years ago an article about what actually divided people into an upper and lower class. The author suggested that the best dividing line is a person's view of the future.
Most people always think of the here and now.
Others catch a glimpse of the future and then orient their lives towards that. He was right in so many ways. It would appear from my experience that those who only live for the present, emotionally, intellectually, spiritually and financially never end up getting anywhere. I wonder what Jesus would say to those people who have no vision beyond the present. I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave to sin.
