Three young American men became heroes when they stopped an
alleged terrorist attack. They were three young men
vacationing together on a train from Amsterdam to Paris. They
were ordinary people who became heroes by doing extraordinary
things.
There are all kinds of heroes, living and otherwise. There
are astronauts, aviators, war heroes, inventors, people who
demonstrated what an invention could do, and people who stepped up
to other challenges, including Rosa Parks who sat in the front of a
bus and refused to give up her seat. Charles Lindbergh and
Rosa Parks each saw a challenge and faced the challenge.
Flying across an ocean and sitting where you choose on a bus are
things which happen daily now, but only because they faced the
challenge and succeeded.
We need to know who our heroes are. Each of us needs to
define who our heroes are, and look for heroes. Life can be
dull and directionless without heroes we can emulate.
Blessed Be!
