Your History is all you have

Today, my thoughts about perpetualness.  I am thinking about perpetualness a lot lately.  It is the only history that we will leave in the earth.  The only way that we will be able to be discerned from the other masses of flesh is by the deeds we do in our name.  Those things alone will define us.  I have learned to forget what I hear you saying because words are simply not needed.  Give me a list of your greatest accomplishments and I will know who you are.  I have always stated that I never wanted just a man.  I have always wanted a great man in his greatness.  For this, I don't need to hear your rap.  Let me know which college you graduated from.  Introduce me to your children or the lack thereof.  Tell me how many times you have been married.  If you dare, reveal if you own your home.  Your accomplishments will tell me your history and that speaks louder than words.  In Christendom, we feel that the blood of Jesus will somehow magicly erase your history because it erases your sins.  I have heard it preached that God wipes the slate clean.  Does he?  If your history is still there, then there is something on the slate.
