~ We covenant with God and with one another to walk in all His ways made known or to be made known to us, according to our best endeavor, whatever it shall cost us. ~
After doing the first two performances, I really thought about the character I portrayed, Mrs. Greenwood. She visited her husband and Henry Barrow in jail to help smuggle books about the Bible into Holland. He was imprisoned for reading the Bible to others in a friend's house. This was in 1593 - thirty years before the pilgrims came to the Massachusetts. They had no idea the foundation their efforts laid nor even saw the fruit of their sacrifice. That April morning Mr. Greenwood and Henry Barrow were executed, hung for their faith. Do we have that kind of faith? Am we willing to give all for others to have freedom? We often don't talk about persecution, but it is real - even today.
