They establish boundary lines so we can know where to go and where not to go.          

They help us learn from the education and experiences of those who have gone before us.

They inform us of past events that are good and that are bad so we can learn from both of them.

They reveal to us God’s omnipresence and confirm that He is always present no matter what.

“Don’t remove the ancient landmark…” they serve as tools for us to obtain VISION 2020!
