"I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night, He's gotta be strong, He's gotta be fast, He's gotta be fresh from the fight, I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light, He's gotta be sure, He's gotta be soon, He's gotta be larger than life "

Heroes walk the streets and sidewalks, often they go unnoticed and unheralded, they simply do the right thing continually, they offer a hand to one down trodden, they speak words of encouragement to the downcast, they stay true and loyal to the one betrayed, they are the hands and feet of the Living God whether they know it or not, I know many heroes, men who do what is right, who hurt when their friends hurt, who watch each others backs, these men are Cymbrogi, brothers of the heart

These heroes bring spice and joy to my life and heart, when i need a hero, i know who to call

Everyday heroes serving an everlasting God, Cymbrogi...

The Agony of Disappointment

I find that too often I disappoint myself, God and others. Sometimes I don't do it on purpose while other times its blatant. Some days I feel like I have come so far only to slide even farther the next day. I need consistency. I need accountability. I need grace, which thankfully has been given. Overall, I need to be fall deeper in love with my Savior. I NEED JESUS!!!

Lord help me...Lord Jesus Son of David have mercy on me a sinner desperately in need of your life saving grace...mold me and make into the man you desire...hey unfaithful i will teach you to be stronger...thank you

The Weight of Glory

I am a week into being a full time youth minister in a small town in Illinois. Already in my one week, I have almost given a student a concussion, been late for church, locked my car in a town half an hour away by breaking the key in half when trying to unlock the frozen doors, been told that a lady in the church was going to find me a girl, and stayed awake for two all nighters (though one was before I officially started).

The new position has me thinking about responibilty and trust. I am now responsible for students. I have to look at every situation from every angle to try to protect the students. I am responsible for being a man who will be a spiritual guide for them. My personal devotional time is now of immense importance. If I don't spend time with the Truth how can I relay truth to my students? If I am not connected to God how can I model a life of connection to them? But as I have thought about this I realized that my responsibilty is no different than that of any follower of Christ. I am merely in a paid position that highlights and draws attention to my spiritual life. But every follower of Christ bears the weight of glory. The weight of being responsible for our actions and our deeper life. Each of us is being watched by someone. Watched to see if we are real. Watched to see if this Jesus thing really makes a difference in our lives. Some days the weight of glory seems to heavy, but grace has been given...
