The Old Stuff is the Best Stuff

“These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the culmination of the ages has come.” – 1 Corinthins 10:11 Here’s a good first principle in seeking wisdom: The old stuff is the best stuff! As I get older, I realize this more and more. I remember being in my 20s and thinking that I knew everything. Consider that we have about 7,000 years of recorded history, and our biological ancestors faced way more challenges than us. You’d be amazed if you consider what many people had to deal with in history until the 1950s. Many experienced trauma, raiders, war, pestilence, plague, and the black death twice in Europe. It was incredible the things they had to endure and face, and we are the result of those men and women who endured all of that to get you where you are today.
