What About YOU? Hero Memorials


Every Monday I ask a question, to get to know YOU better.

Okay, ready for today’s? For whom would you like to build a memorial?

Today is Memorial Day, when we honor those who willingly fight—sometimes to their death—to keep our freedom intact.



I do not have military heroes in my family tree. But I’d like to build a memorial to my second grade Sunday school teacher, a spiritual hero. This twenty-something college student willingly gave up dating/TV/goofing off time to study God’s word so she could teach it to a bunch of squirmy-pants seven-year-olds in a Los Angeles church attic classroom.


She painted a picture of Jesus in my heart that caused me to fall in love with Him, and surrender my heart and life to Him. I don’t remember her name; she may not still be on this earth. But she is my hero, who deserves the applause of Heaven for leading this little redhead into the Kingdom of God.

What about YOU?
