Today we celebrate the life, and death, of William Wallace who was hanged, drawn, and quartered after being convicted of treason. His crime? Leading the resistance against English occupation of Scotland. He was convicted because of his conviction that men should "live free" of the oppression of unreasonable taxation and occupation by a power structure not of his own peoples choosing. May god give us more men like William Wallace in our day who live by their convictions and change their world. May He make us men of conviction and passion willing to risk all for the glory of God and the good of our neighbors. Amen.
