Greatness That Lasts


We live in a time of "greatness" -- great innovations, great athletic abilities, great schools, great businesses, great careers -- and much is sacrificed in order to attain it.  We continually push and train our kids in the hope that they will reach it.
 
But what if "greatness" isn't all that great?  Why do so many "great" people have lives and endings that are far from desirable?
 
This Sunday we look at two ancient examples of greatness (one of whom was so great that you have benefitted from his accomplishments) and discover how to achieve the life and ending that is -- well, the best.
