History

Today is Tomorrow’s Yesterday

Sometimes we think of history as the boring subject we had to take in school.  We had to remember all of those dates and names of people who we have never met.  But history is more than that.  History is alive!  What is happening today is tomorrow’s history.  We need to capture today so that those who come after us will see our footsteps. If you look at history from this perspective, whose footsteps are we following?  Who will follow ours?
