JESUS IS THE HERO OF HEROES

        Far More Powerful

Do you have a hero?  Is it a historical figure, a teacher, a member of your family? 

If like me you grew up with the Saturday morning routine of sugar laden cereal in front of the TV watching cartoons you'll know what I'm about to talk about.  Like every good Generation X kid my Saturday morning would first find me in the kitchen of my family's farmhouse eating a piece of toast, and depending on the season a glass of milk, hot chocolate, or juice.  Following that I would proceed to the living room to plop myself down to watch Spiderman sling webs of justice, and He-Man and the Masters Of The Universe fight Skeletor and his evil forces.  This was usually before my mom would tell me to go get dressed to go run errands, or go "touch grass."  I could also be found playing on the playground at school, setting up Star Wars related adventures.

        The Other Hero

Though I didn't grow up much in the church, sometimes I would go with my grandmothers or a lady who would look after my sister and I.  I would hear of someone so heroic He made Spiderman and He-Man look like weaklings.  I just didn't really realize it at the time.

Looking back I often think of when my heroes in those cartoons would seem like they had been overtaken by the villains, and when it seems like all is lost something happens just at that right moment.  We have a saying we have for moments when it feels like everything's dog-piled on us, "more prayer, more power!"
