Heroes

Throughout history every hero, every great leader has had one thing in common.

They have always stood up for what they believe in.

Gorge Washington stood up for what he believed in during the early years of this country.

In 1780 Francis Marion stood up for what he believed in and became "The Swamp Fox".

During 1820-1848 President Joseph Smith stood up for what he believed in and restored The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

In the bible we read about Meshach, Shadrach, and Abednego who stood up for what they believed in and were cast into the fiery furnace, but were spared in the end.

In the bible in Joshua: Joshua stands up for his beliefs by declaring "As for me and my house we will serve God".

There are a lot of modern day heroes as well.

Martin Luther King stood up for Civil rights.

Our men and women out there fighting for our freedoms and for others are heroes.

And there are many more.

If we just stood up for what we believe in we could be heroes too.
