The Way To Go Down In History As A Hero Is Not To Try To

Good point, Finsch.

However, not ALLof us look to Entertainment or Sports stars for heroes or someone to look up to or something to live up to.

My heroes are persons in History, before the TV, computer, or movie stars.

1. Jesus Christ,
2. Martin Luther King,
3. Robert E. Lee,
4. Winston Churchill,
5. Edgar Allan Poe,
6. Mary Carolyn Davies,
7. Ronald Reagan,
8. Thomas Jefferson,
9. Elizabeth 1st,
10. My late Father who died in 1997,
11. My late brother who died in 1995,
12. Paul the Apostle author of the majority of the New Testament,
13. Abraham, the friend of God,
14. Jacob, who wrestled with and had power with God,
15. Achsa, the daughter of Caleb, who would not leave until her Father blessed her and gave her an inheritance among her brothers (Joshua 15: 16 - 19),
16. Yochebel, the mother of Moses, risked her life to hide her baby, and the courage to come up with a plan to ensure his future.
17. Elijah the prophet of God, called down fire out of heaven upon the prophets of Baal; and, was caught up into heaven in a firey-charriot.
18. Daniel the prophet of God, would not bow before the pagan image even though it cost him being cast into a den of hungry lions.
And, although he served under kings and rulers, he was always humble, and had unwavering faith in God, his whole life: unlike most heroes, Daniel had a clean and impeccable record: he always lived his beliefs without fault, without scandal.......he is one of my favorite heroes of all time.
