Heroes

I saw 2 movies this weekend that had quite different heroes. Pirates of the Carib. and Spiderman. One must say that Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom definitely add to the scenery +++, and Depp makes a great pirate!! But a mixed kind of hero. I would have to say it is definitely about the entertainment. Now Spiderman, there is a conflict we all face sometime. Revenge and what it can do to our hearts. Desire for what others have that we do not, covetting.
There are many kinds of heroes but maybe the truest hero, is us, when we struggle, to be our best and do our best. When we overcome that which causes us the greatest stumble; when we step outside of ourselves and serve others just because; when we suceed to be, even if only for a moment, that person we have always desired to be.

We are pressed on evey side by troubles, but we are not crushed and broken. We are perplexed but we don't give up and quit...We get knocked down but we get up again and keep going... but God never abandons us....everyone can see our power is from God and not our own.
