Hello everybody! Today was our last day in Scotland. We toured Lanarkshire and Ayrshire - learning the history of the covenanters, the brave protestant reformers of Scotland. Some of the things that these men and women experienced surpass any persecution we face in the United States. As Christians in the United States we sometimes don't realize how lucky we are here. People in those days were shot for carrying a Bible. Some were sold into slavery for listening to a minister preach the word of God. Many people died for their faith or had a loved one taken from them because of their Christ centered lives. They had it so much worse than we have it here. I am so grateful for these people who sacrificed their lives so that people could worshop God freely. The memories of these valiant people will stay with me forever.
Here is a little haiku I wrote about Scotland:
The hills of Scotland
inspired me much more than
The cities ever could
