Captain America

The first superhero I would like to focus on is Captain America. He has a strong sense of duty, honor, and humility. In WWII he served as a symbol of freedom. In one of his comics he says, "We must all live in the real world... and sometimes that world can be pretty grim. But it is the [American] Dream... the hope... that makes the reality worth living."

I want to be a hero to my children. I want to be a symbol of humility, love, and happiness. I want to instill in them the importance of honest, faith and perseverance. The world we live in can be pretty grim. It can be cruel. It can be disheartening. But we are children of God with a divine nature and potential. We can get through every trial and conquer as heroes.

Becoming a Superhero to our Family

In 2010, the movie Iron Man came out. I along with people all over the world have come to love this movie. But, it didn't end there! Next, we got to enjoy the rugged good looks of Chris Hemsworth in Thor and the dashing Chris Evans in Captain America. At that point, I didn't think it could get any better. Boy was I wrong! The Avengers came out and exceeded all of my expectations. Who doesn't love superheroes? It's an added bonus that they are all extremely attractive and wear form fitting outfits!

Let's not forget that what's on the inside matters as well. The first comic book for the Avengers describes the purpose of the Avengers, “to fight the foes no single superhero could withstand.” So, they're hot, and fight for the innocent and the weak. Awesome!

Don't you wish they were real? Today, the world is in need of superheroes. The family unit is being torn apart and degraded. Many young adults don't want to get married, and some of the ones that do, don't want to have children. We need people to stand up for the family! We need to fight against the villain named Fear. We can be those super heroes. We can stand up and defend our spouses and our children. I suggest that we grab our shield of truth or cape of honesty and show that the Family is worth fighting for.
