American Lit

            
             What is most important in my life is my walk with God and my family. My walk with God falls before everything else because it is probably the most important thing I or anyone else has going on in their lives. Next in line would come my family, although at times we think differently, we always come together and things are alright. As previously mentioned having a relationship with God must fall before everything else, one day that relationship will mean a lot when we are judged in heaven He looks back on our lives and judges us.
             Is mans past important? Yes! Mans past is very important. As you look back you can see over time history repeats is self over and over again with time. If we study our past and compare it with our present and future we will be able to stop and or pause a lot of problems such as war and famines. Once we figure out our morals, we will be able to prevent lots of past mistakes. One example is if we talk In class and get in trouble and have to pay a price we will learn not to do that again, because we know the consequences so we will try and refrain from past behavior and try to better ourselves for the future.
