A Wasted Life?
I was recently studying the life of a man who was considered a leader in a major war. The war was considered to have a greater number of casualties than the Civil War(casualties in proportion to population). He was responsible for the deaths of many innocent women and children. History records that many tried to convert him to Christianity but he refused saying it would make him weak. In the end he lost the war, was betrayed by one of his own followers, was killed, and his followers were scattered. After he was killed, his follower who betrayed him said "He was a brave man who made many brave men fear him". As I study his life I ask myself "Why?". How can someone give their life for a cause like that? And to his death he believed he was right.

Hello Sable,
ReplyDeleteI was actually kinda keeping the name a secret cause I'm supposed to be playing the part of that Indian at an upcoming thanksgiving dinner our church is doing. But I doubt anybody from church will happen to read this so I'll go aheead and tell you. He was Metacomet son of Massasoit. He is better known as King Phillip. But in my studys I discovered that he wasn't born when the first thanksgiving happened so I may not do that after all.
Thanks for commenting.
In Christ,
Daniel Turack
