What a fun, fun evening we had going to see the outdoor drama, Tecumseh, on Friday! I came away inspired to learn more about the life of this gifted Native American leader. We had some good discussion about how Tecumseh's decision to leave his younger brother, Tenskwatawa, in charge was the downfall of what he had worked for 10 years to build. Tenskwatawa was hungry for power, but not at all ready for leadership. Not only that, but both Tenskwatawa and Tecumseh led the people to believe that Tenskwatawa had a gift of prophecy that in reality had been given to Tecumseh. Deception and lust for power...very dangerous combination that resulted in a tragic end.


Ohio history...here we come this year!


By His grace,


Chris
