He is the only current DI head coach to have coached at all five levels of college basketball and has compiled a 369-331 record. November 15 Program Summary By Doug Baker Our Thanksgiving Program was presented by Rev. Peter Waid and it was eye-opening regarding the concept of 'freedom'. Our thinking (group think, if you will) has come a long way from the days of the Pilgrims in early 1600's. Thanksgiving had its roots in religious persecution in Europe. In America, the focus was God, not Government. Today it is increasingly the opposite weighting. Like it or not, knowingly or unknowingly, many (over 50%) in November voted for more government intrusion into our lives. Alex de Tocqueville, a Frenchman, warned us when he visited the U.S. in the 1830's that people will vote for a government from which they can gain access to $$ from the Treasury. When the Pilgrims arrived here, they were deeply grateful for the providence of God. Peter told us about Squanto who along with 4 other Indians were captured by Capt. Weymouth and taken to England. So there, the Indian was able to learn good English. Amazingly, Squanto ended up back in America and was a huge factor in teaching 'white' men about trapping, planting corn, herbs and fishing. Indeed, Squanto was a bridge between the Indians and Pilgrims. One of those stories when fact is stranger than fiction. The idea of Capitalism in those early days of America, Rev. Waid says, was part greed (traders getting rich-quick) versus Pilgrims, who served as indentured servants for many years to pay for & then gain their freedom. A book Rev. Waid recommended is The Light and the Glory, by Peter Marshall, Jr. published several years ago. He also referenced Psalm 68:19.
