"Broken Sally"

I am learning everyday that we should approach life humbly.This is the blog of a guy learning how to Love. Most of the posts will center on Love (Holiness). However some may speaking more generally to Christian living or life in general, which all boil down to love for me anyway. A Lot of what is said here, is said from the context of The Salvation Army to which i have commited my life. But being a "broken sally" my words are in no way offical. I am just a guy who wants the best for his church.

Superman

Faster than a speeding bullet more powerful than a locomotive able to leap tall buildings in a single bound yayaya come on get real. when i was a kid i loved Superman. He was my first "Supee hero" (as my son calls them)While superman was my first i followed him with many others. Spider man, the X-men Darkhawk, Daredevil, Fantastic four, the Hulk. The older i got the less attractive superman became and the more exciting Wolverine became.

Wolverine now there is a hero, The man was born with a gift, a gift many would see as a curse then his abilities were augemtided through cruel expermintation and his mind shattered. but no matter how hard he rys when faced with a true moral decision he finds the strength to do the right thing.

I like my super heros good and flawed. Superman is just too perfect. he isn't like us we can't relate. There is a scene in the movie where superman and lois discus her Article "Why the World doesn't need superman" and she tells superman "The world doesn't need a saviour and neither do I" he responds by taking her into high up into the sky and asking her what she hears her answer "nothing" he then explains that he hears everything and and people are begging for a saviour.

I wouldn't want a superman saviour, someone who looks human but has been spared the trappings of humanity. The world does need a saviour and its savior while having overcome great adversity and lived the perfect life was deeply human and understands first hand the human condition.
