Hero

Growing up in a home where my adopted father and I did not meet eye to eye, I've spent time over the years looking to other men and fictional characters trying to identify what I should be. As I fell away from the Lord, I identified more with humanities view of the modern hero more then God. I've long been a fan of Superman and what the character stood for...truth, justice, and the American way. When I played games, I looked for the definitive warrior that stood strong for what it believed in and fought for what was right. Anyone who has gotten to know me over the years knows that I've never backed down from what I believe in. I believed that I taught my timid and reserved wife to stand up for herself and stand up for what she believed in. I tried to be a role model for all the younger brothers and sisters that were growing up in my parents home. However, now when I look at it, I've looked at heroism and not acknowledged the greatest hero of all...Jesus Christ.

Jesus came to this world to die for not just one brother in battle, but for all mankind...and he did it while standing up for whats truly right. He did it while showing the greatest love of all to mankind. He's the true hero...he's the warrior that we all seem to sell short sometimes. He's the Son of our Living God who died for all of us. He's my Hero and I can't wait to one day embrace this Man and bow my knees before him. I live now to serve him. He's my Hero.
