Hero Quest Introduction
Heroic moments do not create heroes, they only reveal them. Nearly every man that I know longs to be a hero. He imagines saving a damsel in distress, winning the big game or even saving the nation. These might include battle scenes or leading a peace protest but in the end the man rises up against all odds and is the hero. This vision is strong and can be overpowering. If one thing is clear in this world, we live in the present. Our dreams can not come true without work. Grand trees of heroism do not rise unless the man has taken time to prepare the soil and plant the seeds. Preparing the soil can be thankless, difficult and in a word, boring. But if the man has any hope of turning these seeds of desire into more than just a dream than he must learn to love the smell of the good earth. The hero wannabe must become familiar with fertilizer, soil composition, good dates for planting, timing for watering, how to protect the delicate roots from a wide array of enemies. It is his role to do this work, to be ready to become the hero. Ultimately it will be God who will give the increase. But if the soil is not ready He will choose another in that moment to lead, to be a hero, to fulfill the dream.
Today, evil tyranny bleeds down on the huddled masses that are too afraid to resist the power of the day. If they rise up, they will be crushed. Taunts ring out against those who attempt to resist. Hearts cry out, but only silently. If they even breathe of an insurrection they are trampled. Hope is only a dream reserved for the heroes. Can the heroes continue to dream? Will they bring back hope to the nations? Will you take the time now to prepare the soil so that you can take your place among the pantheon of heroes who have impacted the world?
