Today's F-Bomb distinguishes the subtle difference between learning from our past and allowing our past to dictate our future.

Finance: Warren Buffet lives off of past reputation and the stock market is always looking forward as evidenced by the constant disconnect between Main Street and Wall Street.

Family: Brittany wanted to know all about John's past when they began dating. He couldn't care less about her past relationships.

Football: Organizations get into trouble when they negotiate future contracts based upon past performance rather than expected production.

Faith: God washes us white as snow and thankfully we are able to focus on the new creation we are in Him rather than where we used to be.
