Rob’s Inheritance



Rob’s family has a well-developed sense of humor.  Robert was a Ph.D. student of mine several years ago.  He grew up in Fish Hoek , a suburb of Cape Town, South Africa.  His pop is a retired veterinarian, and his mom a clever woman in her own right.  We had a chance to visit them in RSA, so we took it.  We were NOT disappointed.

They were rightfully proud of their 600-hectare farm and we made a hike  around the core of the land.  One of the places we visited, was Rob's peak, the highest hill on the land.  Here's Rob's Peak.



But that's not Rob's inheritance, and that's what I am supposed to be describing.  Rob's inheritance is part of the farm that is designated for him, when that unhappy hour arrives.  It is a peaceful place, a place of serenity and possibility.  It is a special place, and a vital place.  It is the kind of place that really fulfills an important role in life.




Don't know about you, but I am looking forward to an inheritance from G^d himself.
