Jacques Cartier was not even alive yet during Columbus's funding campaign; he was not born until 1491. In addition, there is little evidence that Columbus sought aid from France, although he did try to raise support in Portugal, England, and Italy.

It is a German trait to be this way, not conviction to truth and righteousness. There are reasons I say this. I thank God that Mennonites and Amish are nonresistant because if they would not be the remainder of the world would be in danger such as they were in WWII. It is not as much conviction that makes mennonite or amish so steadfast to that which they believe as much as it is their German-ness. I lived amongst modern day Germans and they behave the same way. One in particular--was a host student--who knew everything. She was above the regulations of her school. That which she lived by in Germany was gospel and law to her. Positively, it is decisive and directed. negatively it is stubbornness coupled with an unteachable spirit. I believe you are landing on one of the most steadfast German norms of unmovable-ness.

That scenario is not exclusive to Beachys. Believe me, I know. Regarding J.C.'s suggestion: Tread softly brother, going into the Spain meeting. As I recall, an un-submissive wife got involved there. And to what did it lead? Funny! That scenario is not exclusive to Beachys. Believe me, I know.

And sadly too true in leadership meetings I've been in or heard of. So what's the alternative? Let's hear what happened when Columbus went to Spain's "Men's Meeting". Too funny!
