William Penn

I found out about william penn that he always had the heart that cried out for liberty since he was a young boy. He got into trouble often for speaking up in his schools when he was young and therefore had to move schools sometimes. He was never afraid to speak on what he believed in. This got him into trouble sometimes but at least it came in handy later on.
Another thing i found out was that all these great heroes of that century really did not have an easy life. I'm not talking about the persectution. That of course was hard but I'm talking about personal things in their life. William Penn was alone a lot as a boy, and did not see his father often. That probably was really hard for him. And also even when his wife died and other things, those things didn't shake him. he firmly believed in confidence. WIlliam also had two strokes before he died. If i was him, i would wonder why that happened. As a firm quaker believer, he could've wondered why these things happened if he was serving his nation and speaking out for liberty. Those thoughts probably came to his kids too.
So basically, these guys really gave up a lot for what they wanted their nation to be like in the future. and that we should use the things God has given us from the very beginning and use them.
