   Why do sinners cast a shadow?

   • Right, it's from the sinner's point of view. The shadow is not only cast across a great distance in space (you can't run away from them), but through a great length of time as well (you can't outlast them.) It suggests that you must deal with sins or they just get bigger--and cast a longer shadow--as time passes.

I was going to jump in with the "sins of the fathers" Bible quote yesterday, but I didn't really feel qualified.
