"Be the Man!" Week 6

It’s amazing how fast our media centrifuge hurls today’s celebrities to the fringes of memory, leaving them almost forgotten. Cal Ripken, where are you? What ever happened to David Duval? Where did you go, Mikhail Gorbachev? Whither Alan Greenspan, Pete Roselle, or Tom DeLay? Heroes for a season, and then trivia forever. Notoriety is no guarantee of durability. So, what can we pursue today that will not atomize into dust tomorrow? We can invest in the name, the deeds, the glory and the authority of the One who never changes. We can legitimately boast in knowing and understanding the Master whose every attribute proves itself true and solid in every generation. That is a future that will not be marginalized by polls, or relegated to a trivial factoid.
