I learned not to mess with rodeo cowboys. Now, I guess, wearing any kind of a hat at the table is socially acceptable. But things are changing. I have noticed lately there are less and less caps being worn to class. It is the nature of students, once their style is adopted by everyone it is time to find a new style.
Styles come and go, and culture changes with the prevailing attitudes of youth.
As we walk through the first days of a new year, it is natural to look back upon our lives hoping those days will give us clues about the future. It is natural, but probably not all that useful. I try to remember that the thing which I desire today will end up hanging in the closet next to the burgundy leisure suit I wore for my senior pictures. Hopefully, after 1,999 years of Christian life, we have learned our lesson.
