What do superheroes do? According to Wikipedia, they have supernatural powers and are dedicated to fighting crime, protecting the public and battling supervillains.
Of course with grandchildren all five and under, I’ve been reintroduced to the world of superheroes! I still don’t have a clear picture in my mind of who belongs to what group. There are Guardians of the Galaxy, the Justice League, someone called Ironman and another called Thor. I’m not up to date on all their superpowers yet, but I think this information is in my future!
What do superheroes do? According to Wikipedia, they have supernatural powers and are dedicated to fighting crime, protecting the public and battling supervillains. Superheroes are fictional characters dating back to at least the early 1900’s. Robin Hood was perhaps the first who wore a distinctive mask and costume. In the 1940’s, the superhero era took off with the invention of Green Lantern and The Flash. This movement has continued to expand and is as popular as ever. Especially in my house! Apparently there is always crime to fight and people to save when the grandkids get together!!
We want superheroes. We actually need superheroes. But not necessarily of the imaginative kind. Is their crime present in your city? Do evil intentions of others prey upon innocence? Do villains exist in the here and now? Of course!
You’ve probably seen or heard of this saying: “God is my Superhero”! This statement is truth! Does He vindicate righteousness? Will he protect the lowly? Check out Psalm 119:126-128.
Live without fear, He’s got your back!

You know it's difficult to write about yourself. The most important fact I can disclose is that I'm saved by God's grace through faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. My desire is to live a life honoring to God in response for the gift of salvation I've been given. This is so much easier said than done! I struggle daily with right choices, right words, right thoughts, and right actions. My best and only defense against sin is the power of God in me and for that I am inexpressibly thankful. I have three amazing grown-up children who have responded to God's call in their lives along with their spouses. One of the great joys of my life is knowing my children and their families strive to serve and follow God. My grandchildren are another wonderful joy in my life! My husband and I are blessed with four beautiful grandchildren to date with another expected very soon on September 12th. We also are thankful for the comforting knowledge that an additional three of our grandchildren, a set of twins at three months gestation and a little boy, Isaac, at four and a half months gestation, are in our Savior's presence. I have attended the same church since the day my eyes were opened to Truth over thirty years ago. How fortunate it is to have been led by God’s hand immediately to a church body that follows the Bible, no man-made doctrines, just the Word clear and strong. My husband is my best friend, my confidant, my encourager, and I still can't believe how blessed I am by his example of love and generosity towards everyone around him. He is God-fearing, compassionate, and kind and I have learned so much from him. I am a daughter to my almost 92 year-old mother, sister to three brothers, a wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, aunt, great-aunt, neighbor and friend. That means, whomever is reading this, we probably have something in common! I love every unique role I have been placed in. I'm frequently stretched and sometimes feel like silly putty that wants to bounce right back into my comfort zone. My greatest ambition is to be a follower of Jesus; a light that shines for Him at all times, in all circumstances. So, there it is, a bit about me. I guess I was able to write about myself after all! However, my existence cannot be defined without Jesus Christ, my Lord and my Savior. His love has permeated my life to His glory and my eternal thankfulness.
