I was at the post office this morning purchasing stamps (still can’t believe the price has gone up to 42¢), and I saw a young man, who was a senior in high school, and his mother mailing his college application to some institution of higher learning.

What really impressed me was that this young man wasn’t content with just putting a stamp on the envelope to mail his application. He had the application overnighted to the college.

His mother said to him, “Are you sure you want to overnight it?” With conviction, the young man replied, “This is my future.” That right there, said it all to me. I love to see young people eager to advance their education.

As Donald Lawrence and the Tri-City Singers say in their gospel song, The Blessing of Abraham, “It’s your inheritance. Get your inheritance!” So, get your inheritance, young man. I wish you well in your quest to achieve a higher education.
