This morning Carol and I visited Plymouth, MA, where we toured the Mayflower 2 and the Plimouth Plantation. We were struck with two responses. We were impressed with the commitment of our forefathers to leave their homes behind and set sail for a new, yet unknown world. Their dedication, perseverance, and endurance is certainly inspiring. We were also struck with the humor of the situation, considering these were all disgruntled church members who created the first church split (?). They started the Baptist method of church planing. (As a Baptist pastor, it is hard to miss the humor.) ;-}
